Chapter 1450: I’ve Been Formally Trained
“Who is this mister? He looks so suave standing in front of that maiden!”
“The boss of Mamy Restaurant, don’t you know him? It’s the most popular restaurant recently. Boss Mag’s food is super delicious!”
“Boss Mag is still as tough as ever. However, would he get thrown out because of this?”
The guests looked with bright eyes at Mag who’d come forward. Many of them even laughed because they had disliked the tyrannical behavior of Harvey and Roy for a long time. Everyone was discussing it softly. Some young ladies were even looking at the cutest height difference with glowing eyes.
“What a bother. Isn’t it better to euthanize such a scum right away?” Babla looked at Mag’s back with annoyance flashing through her eyes. After a moment of pondering, she slowly lowered her right hand, which was already open up.
“Who are you?! How dare you talk to me like this?” Harvey stared at Mag with a somber gaze. As the Chamber of Commerce’s vice president and the head of the Dodges Family, he enjoyed a very high status in the Chaos City’s business world, so he had never been laughed at in public.
Mag smiled. “I am Mag. Chaos City respects freedom of speech, so how is talking to you something very brave? Perhaps you could still lift up that fat arm of yours and jump up to hit my chin?”
The banquet hall fell into a silence for a brief moment. People were staring at the short and fat Harvey, and then the banquet hall burst into laughter. Many people were turning their heads around, trying to control their facial expressions.
A mister in a severe outfit took out a silk handkerchief to clean the clothes for the lady standing opposite him apologetically. “I’ve been formally trained not to laugh no matter how funny things are… unless I really couldn’t control myself.”
Harvey’s face flushed and turned pale alternatively. The sounds of the surrounding laughter felt like slaps on his face. He had never been humiliated like this before. He clenched his fists, and coldly said to Mag, “Boy, you are playing with fire here.”
“Playing with fire?” Mag chuckled. “My daughter is very good at playing with fire. If you ask politely, I don’t mind letting her play with you for a while.”
“You…” Harvey pointed at Mag with a trembling finger. He sucked in a few deep breaths to calm himself down before smirking at Mag. “Do you know how long she is going to spend in the prison for aggravated assault?”
“Aggravated assault?” Mag innocently asked the surrounding guests. “Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, may I confirm that what happened earlier was a tall and fat young master trying to harass a weak and helpless lolita who had no choice but to raise her dainty little fist in resistance?”
Mag’s gaze landed back on Harvey as he gravely asked, “Do you know how many years he could be locked up for molesting underage girls? How many strapping men he has to pick up soap for? As an accessory to his crime, don’t you think you would be required to join him in there for a period of time?”
The guests’ expressions became a little weird.
It sounded like the truth initially, as Roy did try to touch Babla and take advantage of her first… yet while this maiden looked petite, that was a mighty strike, okay?! Which part of her was dainty? She KO’d a bulky 90-kg man with a single punch. Not many of the guests present were able to do that.
But after Mag’s analysis, it became very rational and successfully occupied the commanding heights of morality and law. And the talk about “picking up soap” was even too wonderful for words.
As expected, both father and son paled upon hearing that. They had been used to bullying people in their daily lives, so they couldn’t react to someone who stood up to them.
“Father, I don’t want to go to prison… I don’t want to pick up soap…” Roy said terrifiedly as he grasped Harvey’s sleeve with a pale face.
Harvey calmed himself down, and then told Mag, “You… You are sprouting nonsense! How could my son do anything to her in public? But everyone saw her beat him up. Don’t think that you can twist the facts simply because you are eloquent. There are many witnesses here today. You guys are not getting away with this!”
“Getting away? Why should we get away? If you think you can alter the truth because you have more people on your side, you might have overestimated your influence and underestimated the Gray Temple’s capabilities?” Mag smiled. If they were going to use connections, he really wasn’t afraid of him. After all, he was holding a secret position with the city lord’s castle—he was part of the system.
Harvey stared at Mag, who refused to accede to either threats or enticements, with an angry red face.
However, those guards were halted by Mag’s words. They didn’t dare to get involved in the big shots’ fight, so they had no intention to help Harvey at all.
Boss is so formidable. He scared all of them without having to do anything. Yabemiya was looking at Mag with glowing eyes. Compared to him, she felt as if her mouth was fake.
Elizabeth was also looking at Mag with admiration. Although she was rather surprised at Mag’s eloquence as he was completely different from his usual gentlemanly behavior he showed while he was with them, being tough to external threats was a good character trait.
Tsk. Seems like my help is not required. At the second floor’s railing, Camilla swirled the red wine in her glass as she chuckled softly. Mag looked rather handsome when she looked at him from this particular angle.
Something’s not right? What’s wrong with me? Why would I find a man attractive?! Men are all trash! They’re not good! Camilla swiftly shook her head to get rid of the weird thoughts in her head.
“What’s going on?” Right then, a sinister voice spoke.
The guests gave way for Cyril, who was wearing bright red clothes and a green hat, to come through. He threw a glance at Mag and frowned. What was this fellow doing here?
Then, his gaze fell onto Roy, who was still sitting on the floor with a swollen cheek, and Harvey who was flushed. His demeanor changed as he asked, “Vice President Harvey, what happened to you?”
“This fellow. They hit my son and then maligned me and my son. They even said they wanted to send us to Bastie Prison.” Harvey pointed at Mag and complained first even when they were the guilty party.
Great. This is the opportunity that I’ve been waiting for! Cyril’s eyes lit up as he turned and frowned at Mag and Babla behind him. “You are not in the Chamber of Commerce, so how did you make your way in? Perhaps you are a thief who came here for the free food and drinks? Now, you are even hurting Roy maliciously and slandering the Chamber of Commerce’s vice president. Guards, tie the two of them up and send them straight to the Gray Temple!”
Cyril was after all the president’s son, and had always been deemed the Moreton Family’s heir, so the guards had to act when they heard his orders. They surrounded Mag, and someone even took out a rope.
“Wait a minute!” Right at that moment, a melodious voice spoke up beyond the crowd.
At the same time, the host at the door announced, “Board Member Gloria has arrived!”
