Chapter 198 Challenging The Highborn
Chapter 198 Challenging The Highborn
As people watched in shock, Peter stamped on the young man's face, breaking his teeth in the process. As the man squealed in pain, Peter turned to charge at the other two men.
There was no turning back for Peter. He intended to go berserk that night. First it was Evan's dumb challenge, then Darren's dumb face, and now it was Robin's dumb men. Peter tried excruciatingly hard to control his temper.
But now when he saw his good buddy Brandon being bullied by the so-called highborn of the capital, he couldn't stand it any more. His anger was on the verge of exploding.
He needed to vent out his frustration.
Peter charged at the two men and swiftly struck their heads with a barrage of blows.
Before the two men could even feel anything, they fell to the floor, unconscious.
Both their eyes and faces were swollen. Blood dripped out of their mouths.
Brandon and Flora smirked, delighted that this happened.
Those villains had been so harsh and mean when they bullied them, but now they were able to find retribution. They quietly hoped that Peter would beat them harder.
The debutantes around them stood still, in awe.
'Who is this gentleman? He's so cool! So brave!'
They all started to swoon at the sight of Peter defeating the bullies. 'He's a real man, ' they all thought in unison.
"What are you doing? Stop that! Do you have any idea who I am? Do you know who's behind me? Who the fuck do you think you are to do this to my men? I'll have you skinned!"
Eddie shouted harshly after coming to his senses. They underestimated Peter's power.
"Why should I listen to the likes of you?" Peter dismissed him entirely. He kept hitting them as he taunted them at the same time, "Or are you the president of our country?"
As Eddie knew that Peter would never listen to him, so he threatened him indignantly, "Boy, you have guts! Wait here, you motherfucker! I'll make you eat your fucking words."
The he yelled to a young man who hadn't been beaten, "Go get all our men!" Peter yelled back, "What? You think sending more men could stop me? You'll only send them to their deaths, dumbass!"
The young man didn't waste any time and ran immediately.
"Get as many as you can!" Peter screamed, hoping that the young man could hear his last taunt. He slowly walked towards Eddie.
"What the hell do you want?" Eddie asked with fear and stepped back as Peter approached.
"What do I want? I want you, of course!" As he answered, Peter raised his hand and punched Eddie on the face.
Eddie raised his arms in an attempt to defend himself, however, he was too late. Peter's fist already made its way to the side of his jaw.
He could hear his own bones crack piece by piece, as he felt an entire side of his face sink.
Eddie cradled his face and whined miserably. He was in so much pain that no words would come out of his mouth — just pure, unadulterated torture.
"Fuck! You know what? I always look down on arrogant rich people like you. What a scumbag! You even want to lay your finger on other people's girlfriends?
Who the fuck do you think you are? Son of a bitch! I'll teach you a fucking lesson! Do you think women like being snatched away? No! They like being loved and cared for!"
Peter berated him, throwing him to the ground and stepping on the back of his head.
Flora finally felt like someone valued her.
The other debutantes swooned at his speech.
Women like being loved and cared for.
Even though it was a simple sentence, they were impressed and surprised that a man was able to know that. Moreover, he was able to teach another man in public. They were close to tearing up.
Eddie let the blood that pooled in his mouth drip out. He now had a reason to loathe Peter, after being stomped on incessantly.
He couldn't make a sound since the bones that shattered from his jaw were already stuck on his throat.
Peter kicked Eddie further, and then he looked at Flora, asking, "Young lady. Who are these men?"
Flora was still in a daze, from watching the fight and from Peter's speech. It took her a second to reply to him.
The people around them listened on. 'Aren't you one of them, highborn gentlemen of the capital? How is it possible that you don't know them?
What's more, if you don't know them, why did you beat them half to death? What a crazy man!' they thought.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After a short period, Flora realized that the situation was getting worse. "Gentleman, thank you, really, for all your help. But I suggest you leave as soon as possible. They are the men of Darren Bai, a powerful man of the capital."
A drop of sweat slid down the back of her neck. She was getting anxious. She wanted to diffuse the situation quickly. Peter had beaten them so ruthlessly that she thought he was a powerful celebrity, while in fact, he wasn't. This would only spell trouble for her.
"Darren's men, huh?" Peter said in surprise. "So this piece of shit isn't the boss, but the dog!"
Peter got angrier and added a few merciless kicks on Eddie's side. "You come out here and run your damn mouth and bully people around. Now I know why. You literally are a son of a bitch. I won't spare you."
Lying on the ground helplessly, Eddie was unable to make any reaction. Tears welled up on his eyes.
When Peter was satisfied, he gave out a long sigh. He looked at Dora and asked her, "Dora, you don't know them either, do you?"
Peter thought that since these men were Darren's, then Dora should have known them.
However, Dora shook her head. "I don't know them."
She only knew the people of her class. How could she know their dogs? Even though Dora appeared to be friendly, she was in fact not affable to everyone. She treated Peter kindly only because of Amelia.
She looked down on these disgusting thugs.
Eddie didn't notice Dora until Peter spoke to her. He gaped at her in shock.
Dora didn't know him, but he knew Dora.
Why was she here? Why was she with this fierce guy?
Eddie's expression changed.
Even though Dora didn't belong to the eight grand families of the capital, her family was just as prominent. She was so mysterious. Even the people from the eight grand families respected her.
At this moment, the assistance that Eddie had sent for arrived. The young man led more than a dozen husky men. All of them rushed to the scene.
Their eyes went straight to Eddie's motionless frame, lying in a pool of his own blood. "Eddie, what happened?
Fuck! What have you fucking done! You're dead!
Go on! Kill him!"
They charged at Peter quickly.
However, their amateurish skills were too weak for Peter. All of them were immediately struck down with one blow.
All of them flew out. Some were knocked and landed on the furniture, but most of them fell straight to the ground. Everything happened way too fast.
The spectators had their mouths wide open.
'Is he a man like you and me? I bet he's God! In the flesh! He's way too strong!'
The chaos in the ballroom had caused a stir. The highborn and the owner of the club were already informed, and headed to the area. Soon enough, they all came out to check what had happened.
The owner didn't dare to show up. He hid himself behind the crowd with sweat piling on the collar of his shirt.
The guests tonight were too important and influential for him to dissatisfy. He'd better stay away.
The highborn gentlemen like Evan, Robin, Darren and Morgan all wore a cold face, their teeth clenching one another in anger and worry.
Someone wanted to fuck their party up, after they worked so hard on it too. It was too humiliating!
After they showed up, the crowd in front of them made way for them. In the center of the crowd were Peter, Eddie and his men.
Amelia felt her head ache after she saw Peter. Why did it have to be him again? Why was he always causing trouble?
