Chapter 1060: That’s Expected!
"What did you say?! Say that to me again, how could we, the Nicholas Consortium, ever lose to this Huaxia man! We are the Nicholas Consortium! Not some roadside weed!"
Upon hearing Camila's words, Felix's face darkened. This subordinate, so disregarding of his face!
The people around, upon hearing Camila's words, also showed disbelief on their faces. Could Felix's bodyguard actually be afraid of this Huaxia man?!
Is he making excuses for being unable to defeat the Huaxia man?!
In response, Camila sighed, knowing such things are hard to believe, yet it was true because the Huaxia man before him is the God of Death!
At this moment, Camila could only brace himself and explain to Felix, "I believe you should know, boss, that this world has mercenaries and assassins, right?"
"Hmm, I'm aware."
Felix naturally knew about these things, as he sometimes resorted to these people when certain matters were inconvenient for him to handle.
"This man has a nickname, called King of Mercenaries, also known as the God of Death!"
When Camila uttered these words, his face was already filled with reverence. Just one sentence seemed to exhaust all his energy.
"He... he is the God of Death?! The Mercenary King who has been in hiding for years?!"
Upon hearing Camila's words, Felix's previously indifferent face suddenly changed dramatically, and a look of fear spread quickly across his face.
Is Hao Jian really that strong?
Sofia, not far away, heard Camila's explanation with a face of doubt. As a woman who dislikes extreme methods, she was unaware of these worlds.
However, seeing the fear on Camila and Felix's faces, a smile appeared on her pretty face, relieved as long as Hao Jian was safe, no matter his identity.
"Hmm..."
At that moment, Will, who had fainted, suddenly stretched lazily, as if just waking up, rubbed his eyes, and stared blankly at everything within his sight.
"Father!"
When his gaze fell upon Felix, an expression of surprise unfolded on his face as he was about to stand, but just then, a hand silently fell on Will's shoulder, pressing him down.
"What's the hurry to get up? Since you're awake, let's have a good talk." Hao Jian glanced coldly at Felix, a slight curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Stop!"
From the moment Camila revealed Hao Jian's identity, Felix knew Hao Jian was not to be messed with, and he needed a way out.
He was unclear about Hao Jian's motive, but it seemed to relate to his son. After all, Hao Jian acted for Sofia, and knowing his son's character, the conflict likely involved Sofia.
Seeing Hao Jian pause, Felix hurried to speak. After all, who knows if Hao Jian would beat his son again?
"Will, apologize to this gentleman immediately!"
If this continues, it won't benefit either party. Felix hopes today's embarrassing event doesn't get out, as his reputation matters greatly to him.
As long as Hao Jian agrees, he won't pursue further actions, earning himself a good reputation, given Hao Jian caused a commotion at his party, even hitting his son, yet he wasn't angered and let him go, showcasing his magnanimity.
"What?! Father, you want me to apologize to this Huaxia man?"
The already somewhat confused Will now heard his father demanding an apology to Hao Jian, showing disbelief, but mostly anger!
Sofia stood not far away. If he apologizes to Hao Jian now, wouldn't it mean he lost to Hao Jian?! After years of pursuing Sofia, now being defeated by a Huaxia man from who knows where, Will's inner anger is understandable.
Thus he planned to explain to his father, only to find his father's face extremely dark.
"Alright..."
He had never seen such an expression on his father's face, in front of him.
Indeed, such a look from his father signifies immense inner anger! What could possibly make his father bow to this man?
He doesn't know that during his unconsciousness, his father learned of Hao Jian's identity and recognized Hao Jian's terror, prompting him to urge an apology to swiftly settle the matter.
The Nicholas Consortium is not Hao Jian's match now, even if they could face Hao Jian, Felix would avoid conflict. He's a businessman pursuing profits; clashing with Hao Jian entails losses Felix deems too great.
Despite fearing Hao Jian's identity, equally pressing is the financial loss from fighting Hao Jian!
Moreover, the Nicholas Consortium faces tumultuous times, and Felix's position has been unstable since Madison's death. Conflicting with Hao Jian would allow other shareholders to seize the chance!
"Hurry up!"
Felix saw his son saying 'okay' with his mouth, but his face was unwilling, and after a few minutes of stalemate, he still didn't plan to apologize.
For this, Felix was very angry, snorted coldly on the spot, and frightened Will into quickly regaining his senses, finally forcing out the words that had been stuck in his throat.
"Sorry..."
With his head down, Will gritted his teeth and forced out the most humiliating words of his life! His head bent directly to the ground after saying this sentence.
"Young Master Will actually apologized..."
"What happened to Felix?"
The unusual change in the scene was unacceptable to many people. In their eyes, Felix was a major shareholder of the Nicholas Consortium, and Will was his son. The identities of these two were arguably the most noble at the event.
But now? What they saw was these two noble people bowing and apologizing to a Huaxia person! And it was on their own turf, no less—this was Felix's estate!
Not to mention that this Huaxia person had brutally bullied his son before Felix's arrival! To swallow such anger, just what is this Huaxia person's identity?!
Just when everyone thought Hao Jian would accept Felix's apology, Hao Jian suddenly kicked Will in the stomach, sending him flying to Felix's feet.
"What are you doing?!"
At the sight of Will lying in front of him groaning in pain, Felix's enraged voice erupted in that instant!
And standing next to him, Camila, in response to Hao Jian's action, stepped out and stood in front of Felix, shielding him behind her.
Wearing a bitter smile, Camila had no idea of Hao Jian's strength. After all, the title of God of Death wasn't randomly bestowed—a normal person simply couldn't do anything to Hao Jian, even if they were powerful, they were not naively thinking they could contend with Hao Jian.
He himself had difficulty withstanding the offensive of those five brothers, but Hao Jian? Still maintained that fluid style, still kept that playful mindset, yet those five brothers of his fell one by one to the ground, and until now, showed no signs of awaking.
Now wanting to rely on him alone to protect Felix was somewhat difficult. He couldn't quite grasp Hao Jian's purpose in coming here.
If it was for a woman, that goal had now been achieved. Didn't you see Will was scared out of his wits? It was likely he didn't even have the courage to appear in front of Sofia.
Even if he dared to go, Felix wouldn't dare let him. Who knew if Hao Jian would be beside Sofia?
"Hehehe..."
Hao Jian grinned, his white teeth gleaming with cold light under the sunlight, speaking with a half-smile: "Felix, do you think an apology is enough to fool me?"
"To be honest with you, my trip to San Francisco this time isn't for tourism or anything like that; it's for you!"
"For me?"
As Hao Jian's words left his mouth, Felix was momentarily stunned. Why him? He didn't even know Hao Jian!
"For Felix?"
Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Sofia's pretty face immediately showed a look of curiosity. Hao Jian had told her before that he had something to do in San Francisco. Could Felix be his target?
But why? Why was Hao Jian looking for Felix?
She really wanted to ask Hao Jian, but she also knew that in this situation, she was not in a position to speak, so she could only wait and listen to Hao Jian.
"Sir, no matter what reason you're looking for me, I've remembered everything you did here today. I initially planned not to pursue it, but I strongly disapprove of the way you're handling things!"
"Sometimes, as businessmen, we earn peace and make money without delving too deeply, but with you being so aggressively pushing today, I just can't tolerate it anymore!"
"No matter how noble your status is, right now you are alone!"
"You Huaxia people have a saying, even a clay figure has a temper!"
Felix's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing coldly as they stared tightly at Hao Jian.
Upon hearing his words, Hao Jian shrugged indifferently, pointed at Will, and laughed: "Your son harassed my friend, giving him a lesson was necessary, but your guilt is even greater!"
"Sir..."
He hit his son and claimed it was necessary?! How could there be such a person in this world?!
Felix tried his best to suppress his anger, gritting his teeth, and waited for Hao Jian's follow-up. In his impression, today was his first meeting with Hao Jian!
"Haha, I think you shouldn't have forgotten, right? A few days ago, Madison went to Hua City and caused a scene there!"
"As for the name Hao Jian, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with, right?"
Hao Jian's cold voice slowly drifted out...
