Chapter 5678
“I wouldn’t have acted that way if I knew he was your important guest!
“But now I know. Please be the better person and give me a chance!”
Master Gatlin smiled faintly with his head lowered, thinking he would not be treated that harshly.
Aria Surrey completely ignored him when she approached Harvey York.
“I’m sorry, Sir York. I didn’t plan things through.
“I’ll make it a point to give you a proper explanation.”
Aria coldly glared around her.
Harvey was an outstanding man.
Not only did he take down the troublemakers of the Outskirts Budokan with a single slap, but he also dealt with the Surrey family’s biggest problem.
Aria was about to go crazy after thinking about just that.
Though, Harvey could not be bothered. He did not want to cause a scene in a small place like this.
“It’s fine. It’s just some small fry barking around,” said Harvey casually.
“There’s no need to ruin your mood because of this.”
Harvey was just about to leave.
It was a good thing for him to attend the auction and get a look at the legendary bead…
But he could not be bothered to stay after being provoked like this.
He could simply spend some time to figure out where the bead would go anyway.
Aria smiled when she heard Harvey’s words…
But she started to panic when he was about to leave.
She quickly approached Master Gatlin and slapped him across the face, not giving him time to react.
“Aaagh!”
Master Gatlin screamed in pain. A red palm print could be seen on his dignified face.
“Ms. Aria! I respect your family, but I also belong to Aenar Temple! You…” he exclaimed with a shocked expression.
Slap!
“Do you think you can just address me like that?!”
Slap!
“You’re threatening me with Aenar Temple?!”
Slap!
“Call them right now! See if they’re willing to protect you!”
Slap!
“You think you have nothing to do with the Surrey family just because you left it?!”
Slap!
“Without the family, do you think you can even get to where you are right now?!
“You think you’re impressive just because you had some accomplishments with the Surrey family’s support?!
“Let me tell you something! Unless Sir York forgives you…
“You should just die already!”
Everyone froze after seeing the sight before them.
‘The well-known Master Gatlin belonged to the Surrey family?’
‘He only got this far because of the family as well?’
‘No wonder the family would invest in the auction! Without it, the auction wouldn’t have even happened!’
‘And yet Master Gatlin still decided to go against the family’s important guest!
‘He’s just looking for his death right now…’
A sense of fear and uneasiness completely replaced Master Gatlin’s nonchalant look.
He knew without the Surrey family’s support, he would stand to lose everything in Aenar Temple. He would be completely trampled by everyone else if that were the case…
