Chapter 660: Chapter 698: Humiliation
“I… I am yours.” Anna Smith’s eyes welled up with tears, but she said it softly.
“Louder, tell him louder!” The man frowned and commanded.
Anna Smith’s chest heaved intensely, but she still said loudly, “I am yours.”
“That’s right, co on, give a kiss.” The man wasn’t done yet.
Anna Smith showed a look of humiliation, but she still turned her head and pecked the man’s face, yet tears couldn’t help but stream down.
“Why are you crying? What is it, you feel wronged just for kissing ?” The man glared at her suddenly.
Anna Smith hurriedly wiped her tears and said, “No… I’m not crying, sothing got into my eye just now.” Then she forced a smile.
“Haha… that’s a good girl. Tonight, I’ll treat you well. Co, let’s have a good drink first.” He gave Jack Carter a mocking smile, held Anna Smith, and went upstairs.
As soon as those people left, John Davis cursed angrily, “Damn! Jack Carter, are you a man or not? Why didn’t you fight back? If you did, we would’ve beaten the crap out of them.”
Jack Carter took a deep breath and said, “I don’t want to embarrass Nancy Johnson, and besides, that guy is quite powerful, we can’t afford to provoke him. I can handle it, but I can’t drag you guys into it.”
John Davis retorted, “What kind of bullshit is that? Aren’t we brothers? Brothers shouldn’t talk about implicating each other or not.”
Qian Laoshi coughed lightly and said, “Johnny, don’t be so impulsive. Little Dave is doing this for our own good. It’s not so easy to just hit soone nowadays. Even if we hit soone without power, we’d still face legal troubles. Moreover, that guy clearly looks rich. If we hit him, we’d be in even more trouble later.”
Qian Laoshi is already married, with a six-year-old child. Familial responsibilities have made him less impulsive, and he considers the consequences of things, so he’s beco more tactful in handling matters.
“What’s that guy’s deal?” Jas Brown asked.
Jack Carter said, “His na is Henry Forman. He’s in business, pretty wealthy family. Most importantly, he has a cousin who’s in organized cri. If we fight him, both the legal and illegal sides could co after us. I’m not afraid, but people like Mr. Smith have families and kids.”
“No worries, I’m single. I’ll go with you to beat him up.” John Davis thumped his chest.
Jack Carter gave a bitter smile and said, “But you have parents. If anything happens to you, how sad would your mom and dad be? I can’t bring harm to everyone.”
John Davis lost his temper instantly. Though he’s a bit of a rebel, he’s a devoted son. If sothing happened to him, who would take care of his parents?
Jas Brown praised, “Little Dave is right, we must consider the consequences.”
John Davis replied defiantly, “So we’re just going to watch Little Johnny get bullied? I’m not happy about it.”
Jack Carter forced a smile and said, “Don’t think about it, didn’t you all say you’d introduce to soone later? The old goes, the new cos. I’ll definitely find soone better. Co on, let’s drink, let’s drink.”
By this ti, the drinks had arrived. Everyone could see that Jack Carter didn’t want to bring it up anymore, so Jas Brown changed the topic and said, “Little Dave is right, we’re here to have fun today, let’s drink heartily.”
With Manager Johnson speaking up, John Davis mumbled sothing, didn’t say more, and everyone started drinking.
Though they started drinking, there was indeed a heaviness in the air, as the earlier incident had ruined everyone’s mood. But with Qian Laoshi, the seasoned party-goer, adjusting the atmosphere with jokes and dirty stories, the mood soon lightened up.
Jack Carter didn’t want everyone to worry about him, so he put on a brave face, drinking with everyone, occasionally putting on a big laugh, but everyone could tell how fake his laughter was. Imagining if this had happened to any of them, how awful they’d feel too.
They all had a military background, and there’s no one in the army who can’t drink. In no ti, each person had downed four or five bottles. While it didn’t make anyone drunk, there was a lot more trips to the bathroom as soone kept going in and out to relieve themselves.
“How co Little Johnny hasn’t co back after so long?” Just as everyone’s spirits were lifted, John Davis mumbled.
But then, there were so chaotic noises from the second floor, with Jack Carter’s angry shouting mixed in. John Davis’s eyes turned red, shouting, “Little Johnny’s in trouble.” He jumped up and rushed upstairs.
Qian Laoshi quickly shouted, “Don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive!”
Jas Brown slamd the table and shouted, “Let’s go, all of you up there!”
Everyone heard Jas Brown’s command and imdiately rushed upstairs, Honest Willis giving a bitter smile and hurriedly following. If a real fight breaks out, he’d better watch out so nothing major happens.
Rushing upstairs, they saw a few people kicking Jack Carter, who was curled up on the ground, clutching his head, while Anna Smith was by his side loudly begging, “Stop it, stop it! I beg you, stop it!”
John Davis was initially at the forefront, let out a roar, and charged at those people, but a figure rushed past him, a flurry of punches was heard, and by the ti he got close, the people beating Jack Carter were already piled together.
“Little Dave!” The one who rushed over was John Brown. In this kind of fight, he didn’t want the security guards to take on any responsibility, so naturally, he had to act first, kick those people away, and quickly helped Jack Carter up.
Jack Carter’s face was covered with shoe prints, his nose and mouth were still bleeding, he looked really miserable seeing Jas Brown co over, he quickly spread his arms to stop everyone, saying, “Manager Johnson, it’s nothing, it’s nothing, let’s leave.”
“No way! I’m going to beat the shit out of these bastards!” John Davis, seeing Jack Carter beaten so badly, was already boiling mad, completely disregarding the consequences, still wanting to hit those people.
“No, no! Austin, I know you are helping , but we can’t afford to ss with them, let’s hurry and go.” Jack Carter quickly hugged John Davis, pushing him towards the staircase.
“Fuck, you fucking think you can leave?” Henry Forman yelled out at this ti, he was also involved in beating Jack Carter earlier, and was kicked aside by Jas Brown, now he got up and shouted.
Jack Carter quickly turned around, stretching his arms to block Jas Brown and others, forced a smile and said, “It’s my fault, it’s not their business, if you have a problem, co at .”
Henry Forman, gritting his teeth, looked at Jas Brown, with a sinister look, said, “Beat and now you want to just leave like this?”
Jack Carter quickly said, “I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving, just let them leave.”
“They can leave, but he’s not allowed to leave.” Jack Carter pointed at Jas Brown.
Jack Carter was startled and said anxiously, “This isn’t Manager Johnson’s business, I’ll take responsibility for everything.”
“Oh? He’s a manager?” Henry Forman didn’t take any manager seriously, there were managers all over the place, besides, drinking free beer in the lobby with a security guard like Jack Carter, what could be impressive.
He glanced sideways at Jas Brown, patted the dust off his body, and said with a sinister face, “Alright, if you want to leave, it’s easy, you and whatever manager kneel before and kowtow three tis, then crawl from upstairs to downstairs, and I’ll let you go.”
“Fuck you!” John Davis cursed angrily.
Henry Forman coldly looked at John Davis and said, “And you, sa thing, kowtow and crawl down, don’t bla for not warning you, today if you kowtow and crawl down, I won’t hold you accountable, otherwise humph, you’ll know what it is like to beg for life and not be able to find death.”
Jack Carter’s face turned even more ugly, pleading, “I beg you, let them go, you can do whatever you want to .”
At this mont, the security guards and the lobby manager of the restaurant rushed over. The lobby manager imdiately greeted Henry Forman saying, “Mr. Harris, give the brothers a break, let’s just let this go.”
Henry Forman looked at the lobby manager, snorted and said, “Your face worth how much?”
The lobby manager forced a smile and said, “Yes, yes, my face is not worth much, but the fact is if things get out of hand, there’s not much benefit, I still have Brother Bob’s shares here.”
“What’s this, using Brother Bob to pressure ?” John Harris glared at the lobby manager.
“I don’t an to pressure Mr. Harris, after all, Brother Bob and Brother Blackjack have a good relationship, it’s not good for everyone’s face when the ti cos.”
Henry Forman frowned, he also understood the aning of the lobby manager. If he makes too much of a fuss here, then he would be quite tactless. Now even those mixing in the underworld are not all about fighting and killing, what everyone is after is money. For so businesses, they might compete, but for their actual business, they take good care. Like this hotel, if guests co without safety assurance, who would co to eat here? So often hotels with so underworld background are actually more secure inside, as long as you haven’t offended them.
But letting Jack Carter go without punishnt, Henry Forman certainly isn’t willing, he said, “Alright, I’ll sell Brother Bob so face, but I’ll only let this kid do one thing, then I’ll let him go.”
The lobby manager also knows Henry Forman is giving him face, imdiately said to Jack Carter: “Brother, Mr. Harris is already giving face, hope you recognize this.”
Jack Carter quickly said, “Fine, fine, whatever needs to be done, just co at .”
Henry Forman looked at Jack Carter and said, “You really are quite loyal, I admire you, then I’ll give you a chance, go get a bread roll.”
The waiter didn’t understand but still quickly brought a bread roll, and Henry Forman sneered, threw the roll on the ground, turned to Anna Smith and said, “Stomp this bread roll for .”
Anna Smith bit her lip, slowly walked over, and stomped the roll a few tis.
Henry Forman laughed and said to Jack Carter, “Kid, eat this bread roll and I’ll let you go.”
“What?” Jas Brown and his people all got furious, although it seed simpler than kowtowing and crawling out, but this was a bread roll stomped by Jack Carter’s girlfriend, and if he ate it, it would be a bigger humiliation, suddenly all got angry and shouted.
