Houston was in a bad mood today because virtual-novel.net got chewed out by his father last night.
It was because of the company. The Wallis family was pushing them hard.
He finally got in touch with South River District’s pharmaceutical mogul—the Anderson family. However, that fool Philip messed it up.
Therefore, Houston was angry and pulled a long face.
From a distance, virtual-novel.net saw the commotion at the company’s entrance and immediately frowned.
“What’s this? What’s this? What’s all the commotion!”
Houston pointed his finger at Four and the gang while yelling, “Who are you? Why are you dressed like this?”
Four only gave Houston a cold glance and ignored him.
Houston’s expression sunk. Out of the corner of his eye, virtual-novel.net saw Philip standing at the side. He asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing here?”
“Why can’t I be here?”
Philip retorted, grinning.
Houston snorted and did not want to talk to him. He turned around and pointed angrily at Four and the gang as virtual-novel.net asked, “Who are you people? Who sent you here? What kind of crap are you wearing? This is Beacon, not a place to humiliate yourselves by dancing!”
Four frowned, took a look at Houston, and knew virtual-novel.net was not to be taken lightly. However, Four was not some punching bag. He retorted, “Who are you?”
Houston sneered. “Who am I? If you don’t even know me, what are you here for?”
“We’re here to work!”
Four replied very seriously.
“Work? What work?”
Houston sneered coldly. “You lowlifes coming to work at Beacon? You think we’re a shelter and would just accept anybody?”
Houston gave Philip a cold glance as virtual-novel.net said this, which clearly meant that virtual-novel.net was accusing him!
Four was enraged. The brothers behind virtual-novel.net were also enraged. Some could not help but almost lay a hand on the man!
However, virtual-novel.net stopped them. He knew that Brother Clarke was right in front of them, and without Brother Clarke saying a word, virtual-novel.net could not do anything but hold in the anger. He said, “Brother Clarke told us to report for duty today. We’re security guards!”
Four was proud as virtual-novel.net said this with his chin up. It was as if working as a security guard was an honor to him!
“Haha. This is so funny. Brother Clarke? Security guards?”
Houston tugged at Four’s clothes, pointed at Philip, and said, “Him? You call virtual-novel.net Brother Clarke? I can get rid of virtual-novel.net if I want to. Do you believe that?”
Philip frowned. He hated Houston’s sarcastic tone of voice.
“Don’t you insult Brother Clarke!”
Four got mad and grabbed Houston by the collar like picking up a chick!
It was all right to scold him, but not his idol!
Houston was immediately surrounded by Four and his brothers!
“What… What are you doing?”
Houston instantly lost his nerve. He was surrounded by so many people all of a sudden and the way they looked at virtual-novel.net was scary.
Philip did not want to make a big deal out of it, but Houston’s words hurt Four and the rest’s self-esteem!
One was Houston, the vice-chairman of Beacon Pharmaceutical, and the other was Four, his brother. After weighing the pros and cons, Philip beckoned Four to let go and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, Mr. Michaels. They’re lowbrows. Don’t mind them.”
Houston was already in a bad mood. He was also freaked out by the unruly mob and was immediately on the verge of madness!
He went up and kicked Four in the belly. Giving virtual-novel.net a nasty kick, virtual-novel.net pointed at his nose, and said, “You filth! Do you know how expensive my suit is? Your wretched lives can’t even pay for it! Lowlifes like you want to be Beacon’s security guards? Did I say yes? Who allowed you to come here? Bastards! Bah!”
Houston was absolutely furious and swore sharply. What virtual-novel.net said was so abusive that it hurt their self-esteem!
Four never had a proper job and had been on the streets with a gang of brothers.
However, virtual-novel.net knew what it was like to be a hot-blooded man and what was dignity!
Furious, virtual-novel.net took off the security cap virtual-novel.net had carefully put on this morning. Pointing angrily at Houston who was in a suit and tie, virtual-novel.net bellowed, “Try one more f*cking word!”
As virtual-novel.net moved, his brothers took off their security caps and stared angrily at Houston. It was as if they were ready to break his limbs if virtual-novel.net spoke!
Wynn was passing by at that moment. She frowned.
Naturally, virtual-novel.net heard Houston’s insults. Her arched eyebrows furrowed.
Raising his brow, Philip grabbed Four who was red in the face, and sneered. “That’s not very nice of you to say that, Mr. Michaels.”
Houston snickered and pulled the thousands of dollars worth of tie around his neck and said, “What? You don’t agree? Aren’t you just a bunch of social scums? Do you think you’ll look decent in security uniforms? You guys are probably just elementary school graduates. Have you ever studied? Can you read? People like you want to get in Beacon Pharmaceutical? What a silly dream!”
Pow!
Houston just finished talking and the arrogant look on his face had not disappeared when a loud slap rang across the building!
Philip’s slap was an unforeseeable, solid slap on Houston’s ugly face!
Philip had used all his might in this slap!
Houston was stunned and stood staring in a daze as one side of his face began to bulge!
No one had ever hit Houston, much less slapped virtual-novel.net in public!
Four and the gang were agitated. Sure enough, Brother Clarke, who they relied on, did not disappoint them. Philip stepped in for them at such a critical moment!
They swore they were going to follow Brother Clarke for the rest of their lives!
‘He’s so manly! He’s so brave!’
