Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“What are you still standing there for? Show your gratitude to Mr Gardner!” Fred reminded Sophia.

“Th-thank you, thank you so much!” Sophia looked at Billy gratefully and bowed.

Being a store manager for a top luxury brand was not an easy job to come by. It was definitely a great position with several times higher income than regular employees.

“No problem. I believe you can handle it!” Billy responded with a smile.

At this moment, an ear-piercing ringtone sounded and Rita became alarmed. She picked up her phone and saw that the call was from her company. Finally, she answered the call.

In less than one minute, she collapsed in despair. Her company informed her that they were terminating their contract with her effective immediately and all of the programs and advertisements she had recorded would no longer be aired. They also warned her not to continue working in the entertainment industry as she had been blacklisted by them-no other company would dare sign with her now. Her company had invested heavily in promoting her career but now they were cutting ties just like that-unless there was immense pressure on them, they wouldn’t have done such a thing.

“Lucas, please help me! Talk to the company, ask them not to blacklist me…” Rita stuttered, crawling towards Lucas.

Lucas frowned at her words. He instinctively glanced at Billy, having a strong sense of foreboding. Earlier on the phone, Billy had mentioned three things and two of them had already come true.

“Lucas, please help me…” Rita continued to plead.

“Get out of here!” Lucas was too annoyed to deal with her. Then he turned to Billy and asked, “Who are you?”

“No hurry, it’ll be your turn soon.” Billy replied nonchalantly before turning his attention back to Sophia. “Miss, can you show me some clothes now?”

“Sophia! What are you waiting for?” Fred urged her.

“Oh? Of course!”

Less than twenty minutes later, a group of the Meyer family members led by Roger Meyer rushed over.

“Dad?!” Lucas ran over after seeing his father arrive. He didn’t expect his father to come in person, and a vague sense of unease rose in his heart.

Roger kicked his son down. Perhaps feeling unsatisfied, Roger kicked him twice more and snapped at him, “Are you trying to kill the Meyer family? You ungrateful son!”

“Dad…” Lucas looked confused.

“Shut up!” Roger roared and walked quickly towards Billy.

Without hesitation, he knelt down directly on the ground. The rest of the Meyer family followed suit.

“Mr Gardner, I’m sorry. I apologize on behalf of my son.” said Roger. Then he turned to Lucas. “You ungrateful son! Why are you still standing there? Go beg Mr Gardner for mercy!”

The onlookers were petrified immediately; they stared at them with their mouths open wide in shock. The head of the mighty Meyer family actually kneeled publicly for a young man, which was too unbelievable! Chanel’s representative was also shocked. He knew Roger well as the current head of the Meyer family and an influential figure in Ozin society. He finally believed what his boss had told him on the phone and thus he silently congratulated himself for making the wisest decision earlier.

“I… I’m sorry, Mr Gardner. Please forgive me.” Lucas crawled to Billy and kowtowed vigorously, shivering all over. Based on his father’s reaction, now he knew that he had offended a big shot.

“Weren’t you going to teach me a lesson just now?” asked Billy.

“I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”

“Mr Gardner, as an apology from the Meyer family, here’s some compensation for you and Ms Knight. I hope you can accept it.” Roger trembled as he took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Billy.

Twenty minutes ago when Derek called him, he was so alarmed by the news that even his phone fell off his hand. After all, Derek was currently one of the most influential people in Ozin; even Master Eight has to bow down before him. But Derek told him that the person his son offended was someone for whom even Derek himself would show great respect. That was not someone the Meyer family could afford to offend.

“You Meyer family is rich!” Billy said lightly as he looked at the eight zeros on the check.

“Do you think money can solve everything?”

“I…” After taking a deep breath, Roger’s eyes flashed with a determined look. And, he broke Lucas’s arm.

With a crisp sound, Lucas’s right arm immediately drooped down.

“Ah-” Lucas let out a scream like a slaughtered animal, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

“Mr Gardner, do you think this will work?” asked Roger with pleading eyes.

“Billy, forget it. Let them go!” Harleen walked over and looked at Lucas’s miserable state, feeling a bit sorry for him. While speaking, her heart was also extremely shocked. Although she knew that Billy’s identity was definitely not simple, and he knew many people with status in Ozin, she didn’t expect that just one phone call from Billy could make the head of the Meyer family panic like this. She was very curious about who Billy just called.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Billy nodded slightly and looked at Roger.

“This time, consider it a lesson for your son. If I find out he’s bullying people again next time, you should know the consequences!”

“Thank you… Thank you, Mr Gardner. From now on, I… I will definitely discipline this rebellious son well!” Roger bowed and expressed his gratitude.

“Mr Gardner, please take this money…”

“Enough already. Take your son and leave. Don’t disturb me while I’m shopping with Harleen!” Billy couldn’t accept his money.

“Okay… okay, we’ll leave right away!” Roger quickly responded. For him, sacrificing his own son’s arm for the peace of the entire Meyer family was quite a lucky break.
