Chapter 420: 420 Shine Shoes_1

“Got beaten up!”

Quella Radcliffe said unhappily.

It was all because Lewis Leocadia bragged everywhere and Bryson Ridge wouldn’t stop courting death; otherwise, who would have been beaten up like this?

Although Lewis Leocadia claimed that the owner of the Bronze Sparrow Platform was his friend, Quella Radcliffe didn’t believe him.

If he really knew the owner, wouldn’t Lewis Leocadia have boasted about it the moment he got off the plane? Would he have waited until now to mention it?

But there was no explanation as to why Aric Smith would be here.

“Bullshit! It was clearly me who beat people up!”

Lewis Leocadia, just as he had regained some face, was exposed by Quella Radcliffe and immediately became angry with humiliation. He covered his face and pointed at Julius Reed and cursed, “You useless wimp, why did you only come back now? If you were here, you could have taken some hits for me! Look at me now, my face is all beaten up!”

With Aric Smith backing him up, Lewis Leocadia felt as if he could soar into the sky.

He remembered how he had been humiliated by Julius Reed at the hotel, and it made him feel terribly small.

And just his luck, Julius Reed was absent during the fight!

That craphead got off easy!

“What did you say?”

Seeing this young man cursing Julius Reed as a useless wimp with such a nasty tone, Aric Smith couldn’t help but clench his fists.

It seemed that things were not as he had imagined; this person might have a grudge against Julius Reed and might not even be a relative.

Could it be a love rival?

“He said I’m trash.”

Julius Reed repeated with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Aric Smith broke out in a cold sweat.

Others might not know who Julius Reed was, but how could he not know?

The big boss of Gonzalez City’s underground world, Aron Jackson, had to call Julius Reed ‘big brother.’

If this guy could be called trash, then they were less than trash.

“Heh heh! You do have some self-awareness! If you were here just now, I could have let them beat you instead of taking so many hits myself. Go, get me some medicine from the pharmacy. It’s killing me!”

Lewis Leocadia touched the scars on his face, grimacing in pain.

“There’s a pharmacy downstairs; if you want to go, go yourself.”

Julius Reed gave Lewis Leocadia a cold look and headed straight for Quella Radcliffe.

“Hey! You piece of crap, are you deaf to what I’m saying? Isn’t your job at home just to run errands? Hurry up and go! Otherwise, don’t blame me for beating you!”

With Aric Smith to rely on, Lewis Leocadia regained his arrogant demeanor.

“Exactly! Julius Reed, isn’t that what you always do at home? What’s the big deal with running an errand now? I’ll give you ten bucks for the trouble, and that should be plenty for you for several days.”

Bryson Ridge, seeing Julius Reed refusing, took out ten dollars from her pocket and threw it hard at Julius Reed’s face.

Julius Reed dodged to the side, and the money fluttered to the ground.

“Aunt Four, if you want something, go buy it yourself! Julius Reed is part of our family and it’s not your place to call the shots.”

Quella Radcliffe said, unhappy with the behavior of these people.

Besides, Julius Reed was her husband, and they were being far too disrespectful.

“What’s so bad about that craphead doing this kind of work? You should be grateful for the ten dollars I offered for running errands, shouldn’t you?”

Bryson Ridge said with a contemptuous smile, looking at Julius Reed as if he were a beggar.

“Pick it up.”

Julius Reed glanced at Bryson Ridge and said coldly.

“Oh? Are you talking to me?”

Bryson Ridge, seeing Julius Reed dare to speak to her like that, immediately became enraged.

“I said, pick it up. Otherwise, you will regret it.”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile, thinking that these two women needed to learn a lesson today for not knowing when they were in danger.

“How dare you talk to my mom like that! You trash, do you believe I’ll beat you up?”

Lewis Leocadia, feeling emboldened because he had backup, didn’t care about the feelings of Knox Ridge’s family.

“Do you need me to take action?”

Aric Smith asked from the side.

“Of course!”

Lewis Leocadia said with great pride, “Beat him until he can’t get up!”

With such a formidable person’s help, Julius Reed was as good as dead today!

“That’s for exposing me!”

He cursed inwardly.

Blocking someone from showing off is no different from killing your parents!

Julius Reed repeatedly left him with no face to show, this grudge was simply irreconcilable!

Thud!

But before he could react, he felt a hard blow to his knee and then fell to his knees on the ground.

“Damn it, why are you hitting me! Go hit that loser!”

Lewis Leocadia knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.

“You dare to hit my son? He is your boss’s honored guest!”

Bryson Ridge was also shocked. Just now, Aric Smith had helped them, so why did he suddenly start hitting Lewis Leocadia?

“Honored guest? With him? Deserving?”

Aric Smith’s knee pressed against Lewis Leocadia’s head, then his other foot pressed down hard on his face.

“This…”

Everyone in the private room was stunned.

Knox Ridge pointed at Aric Smith and asked, “Aren’t you his friend?”

If they weren’t friends, why did Aric Smith come and stop Zane Percival just now? That’s the Percival Family of Gonzalez City, the big shot in the transportation industry!

Did he save Lewis Leocadia at the risk of offending the Percival Family just to beat him to a pulp?

Only Quella Radcliffe vaguely sensed something, the person Aric Smith was waiting for might be Julius Reed.

In Gonzalez City, Ovidiu Cook and Aron Jackson were friends of Julius Reed.

There certainly wasn’t a second person who could make Aron Jackson’s subordinates this courteous!

“My guest is Mr. Reed.”

Aric Smith looked towards Julius Reed and asked respectfully, “How shall I deal with this man?”

His demeanor had changed from the previous arrogance to one of seriousness.

“This guy doesn’t learn his lesson. As long as this ten yuan on the ground isn’t picked up, just keep hitting him!”

Julius Reed looked at the ten yuan note on the ground and said coldly.

Thud!

With a punch from Aric Smith, Lewis Leocadia was left with blood streaming from his nose.

“I’ll pick it up! I’ll pick it up now!”

Bryson Ridge was completely terrified.

If Aric Smith dared to offend those rich kids earlier, how could he care about her son’s life or death?

But as she bent down, Julius Reed suddenly stepped on the money.

“Julius Reed, you damn coward… what are you trying to do?”

She was about to curse, but thinking of her son’s treatment, she hurriedly changed her words.

“My shoes are dirty.”

Julius Reed looked at his leather shoes and said slowly.

“You…”

Thud!

In that short time, Lewis Leocadia’s head took another punch.

“Mom! I’m almost dead, hurry up and pick up the money! It’s all your fault for bringing out ten yuan, you’re going to kill me!”

Lewis Leocadia’s nose was almost broken, and he crawled on the ground, crying out loud.

Aric Smith’s blows were ruthless, far beyond what those rich kids could compare with.

Almost every punch made Lewis Leocadia cry out for his father and mother.

“Fine! Julius Reed, I’ll remember this!”

Bryson Ridge gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, wiping Julius Reed’s leather shoes with her clothes.

“There! Your leather shoes are clean now!”

She was somewhat surprised. How come the shoes of Julius Reed, such a good-for-nothing, were so fine? They must have hidden some private savings or stolen them from Quella Radcliffe.

Just as Julius Reed lifted his foot, she was eager to pick up the money.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But before she could reach for it, Julius Reed’s other foot stepped down.

“You…”

Thud!

With a punch from Aric Smith, Lewis Leocadia let out another pig-like squeal.

“Whew!”

Bryson Ridge took a deep breath and had to start wiping Julius Reed’s shoes again.
