Chapter 401 Burdensome
The fighters, fearing his wrath and somewhat wary of a few strong bodyguards, hurriedly backed away upon hearing this.
“I’ll go upstairs first then.”
“Hmm.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Angela looked at James a few more times, then went upstairs.
At times like this, it would just be a liability for her if she insisted on staying.
Seeing her leave, several bodyguards were about to follow.
James called out to them and said in a cold voice, “I told her to go back, did I tell you to go back?”
“Sorry, Mr. James,” the head bouncer apologized, then stood beside James with a few of his bodyguards.
James let go of Felix’s hand and bent down to pull a tissue from the table and wiped his fingers slowly and deliberately, “It’s late, I’m going to rest, you two take your men and leave.”
Felix took advantage of James’ lack of attention to help the injured Salim back up behind a group of beaters, then waved at them, “Go!”
“Wait.” James reached out, stopping them.
Felix gave a cold laugh, “Now you know you’re scared? I’m not that small-minded, as long as you kneel and kowtow to me and call out to your father again, I’ll let them back off, how about that?”
He thought James was so powerful, but it turned out he was just a man who used his family as a backer to run amok!
Those elders in the family bragged about James too much!
James ignored him, only to blush a little more coldly. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal the small, well-defined arms, then loosened the waistband of his bathrobe and retied it.
“Mr. James, how are the considerations going?” Felix felt hatred when he remembered the stifling he had suffered in the past with James.
He must get all that back!
James glanced up at him, moved his belt and kicked one of the most forward fighters in the face as Felix tried to shout again.
“If you do, then I’m not going to be polite! All of you!” Felix couldn’t stand to see this breezy look from James and felt that the other man didn’t give a damn about him.
James didn’t even change his expression for a moment, coming to beat up one or two. The fighters were very amateurish and only knew how to stab and smash people with knives and sticks.
Unlike James, who has studied Muay Thai, Taekwondo and Karate systematically, there are no fancy gestures and every punch and kick is aimed at a person’s most vulnerable position.
In a short while, a large number of the fighters fell, and the rest looked at each other, but no one dared to go up.
Felix’s face shifted, more than a tipped palette.
“Anyone else want to get on?” James gave the beaters a cool sweep and saw them backing away in unison before withdrawing his gaze.
He retied his somewhat loose belt and said absently, “Now can Mr. Felix and Mr. Salim leave?”
Felix told the beaters to hold Salim while he walked over to James.
“Mr. James, don’t mind me speaking harshly either: it’s good that your Harvey family is involved with human experimentation, not to mention being the same as before, or not going bankrupt. When the Harvey family is finished, what good will it do if you can fight?”
Felix chuckled at this, “Can’t say it’s useless as a battering ram either.”
He came up to James, “Why don’t you think about working for me as a fighter? I’ll hire you for twice the price of a regular guy!”
James never bothered with nonsense as he grabbed Felix’s hand straight away and cleanly snapped off three of his fingers.
Felix looked at him incredulously, his face covered in sweat from the pain, “You ……”
“You’re getting carried away before things are clear, kind of what you pay for.” James pushed him away and said coldly, “Are you going out on your own, or should I have someone throw you out?” News
Felix had broken two fingers and his whole hand was shaking with pain, but was resigned to suffering this indignity after James had lost his power.
“Mr. James, you’d better get your facts straight. If your Harvey family is involved with human experimentation, you’ll lose your skin, even if you don’t die! If you’re so arrogant now, aren’t you afraid that you’ll have to ask the Pearson family and the Brown family for help later?”
James is certainly not afraid.
People with a bottom line will always have a bottom line, independent of what other people do. And people who have no bottom line have always had no bottom line, independent of what others do.
There are too few people in the capital market who have a bottom line. 99% of them are wolves who jump at the sight of profit.
Even if he is polite to the Pearson family and the Brown family, when it comes to matters of interest, they will flock to him!
“Throw Mr. Felix and Mr. Salim outside, as for the others, let them climb out on their own.” James simply instructed the bodyguards before heading upstairs.
The bodyguards, who were explicitly James’ men, were worried that he would get suspicious and agreed to a promise, then Felix, Salim and their bullying, threw them straight to the door.
The fighters, having been beaten up by James, didn’t have the guts to fight and one by one they got up, or were helped by their buddies, and slunk away.
Angela returned to her room and didn’t sit down, circling the floor anxiously.
Felix and Salim had brought too many fighters with them and the five bodyguards were dissidents, she was really worried that something would happen to James!
Snapping.
The door rattled a little.
Angela stopped in her tracks, her whole body tensing as she looked towards the doorway, her eyes full of alarm.
It wasn’t until James walked through the doorway that her tense body eased a little. She stepped forward and looked his body up and down, and her heart fell back when she saw that he was unhurt.
“I’m fine.” James squeezed the back of her neck, his lips curving in a few invisible curves.
He was about to say what was going on down there when Angela suddenly covered his mouth and then took a black object out of her pocket and showed it to him.
James took the radio and looked at it for a few moments, his eyes went cold and he raised his hand to throw it away.
Angela snatched it back, put it in her hand and shook her head at him.
They had no idea what Ela and the others were trying to do now, not even who the big man was. The only way they could know what Ela was up to was if she did what she was told to do!
James stared intently at the radio in her hand, a dark cloud under his eyes, the hand hanging on the right side of his body tapping absently.
If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have had to get involved in all this!
Those who made things difficult for her, he would make them pay the price they deserved sooner or later!
Angela could see that he was in a bad mood and took the initiative to walk up to him, nestling in his arms and rubbing her face against his chest with a few gestures of affection.
“Off to therapy?” James reached around her and placed a light kiss in her hair, trying to suppress the violence that surged around his body.
“Well. Roland says my leg is almost healed and he’s got some specialists in vegetative medicine for my dad who’ll be here in a while.”
Angela had said all this to make James not worry too much, but when she finished, she found that he didn’t say anything for half a day.
