Chapter 540: 540

“You dare!”

Jake Carmichael was really a bit panicked.

But he quickly calmed down!

“Hit him, and if he dares to fight back, I’ll immediately take care of him!”

Julius Reed said nonchalantly.

Meanwhile, Scotty Lake quietly called the head of security.

Having been slapped, he felt terribly uncomfortable!

He was determined to retaliate!

Especially against this Nicolo Marsh, he was intent on punishing her severely!

“Alright!”

After hearing Julius Reed’s words, Nicolo Marsh slowly walked up to Jake Carmichael.

“You little brat, you’d better not regret this!”

Jake Carmichael took a puff of his cigarette, disdainfully saying, “Killing you would be no different than stepping on an ant…”

Slap!

Nicolo Marsh swung her arm round and slapped Jake Carmichael’s face hard.

She even knocked the cigarette right out of his mouth!

“Damn it! You crazy woman, are you looking for death!”

Jake Carmichael was stunned for a moment, then felt a burning pain on his face.

“What’s going on here!”

Just then, the head of security came over with his team.

After receiving a call from Scotty Lake about someone causing trouble, he immediately went to maintain order.

“Are you the head of security?”

Jake Carmichael, looking at the uniform on the security, asked angrily.

“Yes, I’m the head of security here. What’s going on with you guys?”

The head of security looked at the cigarette butt on the ground and frowned, “Isn’t smoking prohibited here?”

“Never mind the smoking, your salesperson hit me! How will you deal with this?”

Jake Carmichael said impatiently.

He was definitely going to settle the score with this salesperson, and also with this kid who dared to oppose him.

But not now.

“A salesperson hitting someone?”

After hearing this, the head of security frowned and asked, “Did that really happen?”

In the mall, if a salesperson hit someone, that would be a big deal!

It would damage the reputation of the Leocadia Family and Five-state International.

It must be dealt with seriously!

“Yes! I can prove it!”

Scotty Lake spoke up from the side.

“And I was hit too.”

“What, that really happened? Take her away first!” the head of security gestured, and his team was about to step forward.

“Heh heh, let’s see what you’re going to do now!” Jake Carmichael had the look of someone watching a show.

Nicolo Marsh, frightened, took a step back and moved closer to Julius Reed.

“The situation is not like that.”

Julius Reed extended his hand, stopping the head of security: “The specifics of what happened, you can check the surveillance. It was this gentleman, and this male salesperson, who hit her first. Then, I told her to hit back.”

“You were involved in this as well?”

The head of security said sternly, “Then please come with us for the investigation too!”

“Are you out of your mind! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?” Julius Reed looked straight at the head of security, “Go check the surveillance first, and you’ll clearly see what happened! You might as well throw your eyes away if they’re useless, but perhaps you should let your brain breathe!”

The security of Five-state International and the exhibition hall are unrelated—the security is all from Five-state International Building’s original staff.

They only cooperate with the exhibition hall.

“Speak politely! Come with me now!”

The head of security was already furious, and being insulted, his anger surged even more.

“Can’t you understand a word I say?”

Julius Reed shook his head with a wry smile and lashed out with a fierce kick!

Bang!

The head of security, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying backwards, landing heavily on the ground.

“You’re done for! Haha!”

Jake Carmichael laughed loudly.

Assaulting someone would certainly lead to detention.

Moreover, both Five-state International and the exhibition hall are major players, and the powers behind them wouldn’t allow any disturbances here.

In his opinion, the young man before him was simply asking for trouble.

“Captain, are you alright?”

The security guards rushed over and helped the head of security get up.

“Ow! The bastard, he dared to hit me! Catch him!”

The security team leader grimaced in pain, his body going limp like a broken frame.

Yet with the support of his companions, he still managed to stand up with difficulty.

“You’re dead meat!”

He approached Julius Reed and said viciously.

“Itai Huntington, your men are impressive! You arrest people without determining right from wrong?”

At this moment, Julius Reed casually spoke to someone behind the security team leader.

“Hah! You dare speak of our boss? Today I will tear your mouth apart!”

The security team leader sneered. In Gonzalez City, there weren’t many people who dared to call out Itai Huntington’s name.

And now this youngster, completely oblivious to danger, had the audacity to call out his boss by name?

This was the perfect opportunity!

An opportunity to distinguish himself and get revenge!

“Get him!”

He gestured with his hand.

But strangely enough, his security guards seemed to be frozen in place, none of them moving at all.

“What’s going on?”

The security team leader said discontentedly, “Can’t you hear what I’m saying!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, he felt himself being lifted.

“Who the hell is touching me…”

But when he turned around, he realized that Itai Huntington was indeed standing behind him.

And the person who had picked him up was Itai Huntington’s personal bodyguard, King Kong.

“Boss…”

The security team leader’s heart raced—how did the boss actually show up!

“What’s going on here?”

Itai Huntington asked coldly.

After surveying the area outside, she had just walked in to see a crowd of security guards gathered here.

She had intended to find out what was happening, only to see Julius Reed upon entry.

Julius Reed had recounted the events exactly as they had happened, also mentioning how the security team leader had wielded his authority, attempting to seize him.

“Boss, this guy is causing trouble!”

Suspended in mid-air, the security team leader said with a cold sweat.

“Shut up! According to him, it was this gentleman and the sales assistant who hit someone first. If the person hit back, what’s wrong with that?”

Itai Huntington said sternly.

“Boss…”

“You, are fired!”

Itai Huntington said coldly, “Leave right now. Scram!”

“I…”

The security team leader was completely dumbfounded.

This job paid tens of thousands a month; if he was fired, he’d struggle to find work in this industry again.

After all, who would dare to hire someone fired by Itai Huntington?

“Is there anything else here we need to resolve?”

Itai Huntington turned to Julius Reed.

“No more, we can handle it ourselves.”

Julius Reed spoke indifferently.

“Then good, let’s go!”

Itai Huntington nodded and quickly left with the security guards.

Scotty Lake was flabbergasted.

How could it end like this?

Julius Reed had hit the security team leader, yet this female boss didn’t care about her own employees’ well-being?

“Did you rat me out?”

Julius Reed turned to Scotty Lake, who looked completely bewildered.

“I…”

Smack!

Julius Reed slapped him across the face, sending him tumbling to the ground.

“So, either you take this slap and later get your commission, or you hit back, and I’ll go tell them to cancel your commission, saying you have bad service and hit a customer.”

“The gentleman is right…”

Scotty Lake got up from the ground and said somberly.

“Hey! Isn’t this bullying?”

Jake Carmichael shuddered with anger at the scene unfolding before him.

The slap from Nicolo Marsh on his face still hurt!

“Right, I am bullying, and what are you going to do about it?”

Julius Reed said with a faint smile, followed by a fierce kick to the potbellied stomach of Jake Carmichael!
