1158 Completely Opposite
Nick didn’t notice the strange expression on the young man’s face and went on, “Kenneth, I have always treated you as my friend. But now that my brother has been bullied on your turf, shouldn’t you help me deal with it no matter what?
“Did you see that punk over there? He’s very arrogant. He…”
Nick pointed at Lucas, wanting the young man to call all of the restaurant’s security guards to capture Lucas.
But before he could finish speaking, an angry shout rang in his ears.
“Shut up!” that young man hollered at Nick furiously.
!!
After being yelled at and being stunned for a moment, Nick almost suspected that he had heard wrong.
Nick’s face turned red in anger, and he roared at the young man, “What did you just say, Kenneth?! You told me to shut up?! Are you out of your mind?!”
“You’re the one with something wrong with your brain! Otherwise, why would you have provoked Mr. Gray?” the young man retorted in a louder voice. “Idiot, not only will I scold you, but I will hit you too! Of all people, you offended Mr. Gray, and you even wanted me to deal with him for you. You must be tired of living!”
Then he raised his arm and slapped Nick hard in the face!
Smack!
The loud slap immediately stunned everyone.
Even Nick was dumbfounded by the sudden slap. In disbelief, he couldn’t react at all.
But the young man ignored Nick and hurried toward Lucas. He bent forward and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Gray, I didn’t expect that you would come to our restaurant. Had I known you were here, I would have come to receive you a long time ago and arranged for the best room and dishes for you!”
The young man was Kenneth Parker, the grandson of Damon Parker, whose family Lucas had subdued in California!
Kenneth’s action shocked everyone!
He had just slapped Nick, the future helmsman of the Waltons, one of the top eight families in DC, and then hurried over to Lucas and spoke to him so respectfully, as if he was afraid of displeasing Lucas.
The completely opposite attitudes were surreal to everyone. Did the general manager of this restaurant… mix up their identities?
No matter how they looked at it, they felt that a wealthy scion like Nick should be the one being treated with respect, while an ordinary person like Lucas didn’t deserve this treatment.
Lucas asked with raised brows, “This restaurant belongs to the Parkers?”
Kenneth hurriedly said, “Yes, Mr. Gray, the restaurant belongs to us, and we have opened branches in many cities in the US over the last few months.
“I’ll get you a supreme VIP card later. In the future, you can bring your friends to eat at any of our restaurants, and it’ll be entirely on the house! This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it, Mr. Gray!”
Lucas was surprised.
Although the restaurant looked rather ordinary on the outside, it definitely wasn’t a small bistro but a highly-rated one with luxurious decor and an expensive menu.
Over the past few months, the Parkers had opened numerous branches all over the US, so the scale of development was pretty fast.
It was no wonder that even Kenneth, a third-generation direct descendant, had come to DC.
In fact, strictly speaking, everything of the Parkers now belonged to Lucas.
Thus, even though Kenneth gave Lucas a supreme VIP card that allowed him to dine free at the Parkers’ restaurants, it wasn’t a big deal.
Lucas nodded without saying anything else.
After all, with so many people around, it wasn’t a good time and place to catch up with Kenneth.
Kenneth stood in front of Lucas carefully and attentively, just like a subordinate.
This scene astonished Leila and everyone else.
At this moment, Nick finally recovered from the shock of being slapped by Kenneth in public and roared furiously, “Kenneth Parker, you bastard. How dare you hit me?! The Parkers can get ready to go bankrupt and get lost from DC!”
Seeing how furious Nick was, Kenneth couldn’t help frowning.
Usually, Kenneth would be worried when a top scion like Nick lost his temper, and he would even be afraid of offending the Waltons and causing a disaster for the Parkers.
But the person Nick offended was Lucas!
The things Lucas had done before had long made Kenneth be in awe of him, so much so that he didn’t even dare to think about defying him.
It could be said that the reason the Parkers had such a status and the chance to develop rapidly now was all thanks to Lucas. Without Lucas, the Parkers definitely wouldn’t enjoy their current glory!
Furthermore, the Parkers were already loyal to Lucas, and Damon, the helmsman, had already instructed all members of the family to never offend Lucas and stand on his side regardless of who the other party of the conflict was.
It was the same even if the other party was the eight top families in DC!
Therefore, after knowing that the person Nick had a conflict with was Lucas, Kenneth yelled at Nick and slapped him without hesitation.
After hearing Nick’s threats, Kenneth was a little nervous. But when he saw Lucas’s calm expression, he was no longer worried.
With Lucas around, there was no need to be afraid of the Waltons.
“Nick, you don’t have to threaten me. I advise you to think carefully about whether you can leave here safe and sound after offending Mr. Gray!” Kenneth sneered, completely fearless when facing Nick.
“You’re great, Kenneth Parker. You’re really courageous today, huh? Just you wait. I won’t let you and your family off!” Nick shouted.
If the ten or so bodyguards he had brought were still able, he wouldn’t just speak harsh words. Instead, he would have gotten his people to destroy Kenneth’s restaurant and even teach him a hard lesson!
But Lucas had already knocked unconscious all the people he had brought, so all he could do was lash out at them while trembling with fury.
Kenneth glanced at him coldly. “Since you’ve said that, it seems I can’t let you off today!”
He ordered the security guards, “Hit him hard!”
“Yes!”
After receiving Kenneth’s order, the burly security guards of the restaurant immediately pinned Nick to the floor and beat him up, causing Nick to scream continuously.
Roger’s, Samuel’s, and Hayden’s faces turned pale.
They didn’t expect that Nick, a scion of the Waltons and the Waltons’ future helmsman, would really be pinned to the floor and beaten to a pulp!
They wouldn’t have believed this scene if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes!
It was crazy!
