Chapter 507: Chapter 507 Helping Him Save Face_1
“Presumptuous! How can you speak to General Caldwell like that!”
Stacy Cook was the first to react; no matter what, they simply couldn’t drink down two bottles of the Elixir of Life.
Who would be that foolish?
Let alone two bottles, even half a bottle would be lethal.
“So, you don’t want to keep your promise?”
Julius Reed sized up the two in front of him, scaring Stacy Cook so much that he involuntarily shivered with a chill down his spine.
The collective kneeling of the Cook Family at Twilight Mansion had left a huge psychological shadow over him.
Especially when Julius Reed defeated his strongest bodyguard, it nearly crushed Stacy Cook’s spirit.
“Kid, consider yourself lucky today, I’m letting you off this time!”
Tristan Caldwell pointed at Julius Reed, threatening, “Next time, you won’t be so fortunate!”
He said he would drink two bottles because he thought Julius Reed would be dead after half a bottle.
How could you be alive, or rather, sober enough, to watch him drink?
This bet, from the start, was a deceit!
An unfair deceit!
Now that they’d lost the bet, reneging was inevitable!
And the reason Tristan Caldwell chose to let Julius Reed off this time was that he too was frightened.
It was his first time seeing someone drink the Elixir of Life as if it were water.
“I don’t like being pointed at.”
Julius Reed lifted his head and suddenly stretched out his right hand!
Crack!
Tristan Caldwell’s finger was broken instantly!
“Protect General Caldwell!”
The bodyguards immediately stood in front of Tristan Caldwell, each staring at Julius Reed with deadly intent.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Hiss!”
Tristan Caldwell took a sharp breath in pain; the agony in his finger shot straight to his cerebral cortex, and he howled miserably.
“Ah… it hurts! Finish him… finish him for me!”
Shaking all over, Tristan Caldwell sat in the chair, his eyes quickly filling with blood.
At his fingertips, the broken bone was clearly visible!
“Seeking death! What are you waiting for, drag him out, and don’t cause trouble in the Northern restaurant!”
Stacy Cook then took command.
He hadn’t expected Julius Reed to dare offend Tristan Caldwell!
And to break his finger upon their first encounter!
This was a madman, a madman without reason!
“Liar!”
Julius Reed sighed, abruptly stood up, grabbed the wine bottle, and smashed it hard onto the head of a bodyguard!
Crash!
The bottle of Elixir of Life shattered instantly, and the bodyguard fell to the ground, his head covered in blood and glass shards.
Before the remaining bodyguards could react, Julius Reed, like lightning, reached them and pressed their heads together with both hands, then banged them hard!
Bang!
The two men passed out on the spot.
Even if by some chance they woke up, they would certainly be vegetables.
“What… what are you going to do!”
Tristan Caldwell, overcome with fear, even forgot the pain in his finger.
Whereas Stacy Cook was reminded of the scene that day at Twilight Mansion.
Everything seemed to be repeating itself!
“What are you standing there for! Go call security!”
Stacy Cook shouted to the servers around him.
“Quiet.”
Julius Reed punched out, filling Stacy Cook’s mouth with blood, his front teeth all falling inside.
“Shhh!”
He looked back at the servers: “Everyone’s eating, don’t disturb them.”
The servers nodded, standing still, not daring to move.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to move.
The lightning-fast actions of Julius Reed had thoroughly intimidated them.
Every one of them found their legs disobeying them.
Besides, they weren’t fools; helping Stacy Cook and the others at this time was like asking for death.
Why sacrifice themselves?
“I warn you! I am the general manager of Abernathy Group, and if CEO Carmichael finds out…”
Tristan Caldwell was shaking all over with fear, but he tried to remain calm and brought up Beckett Carmichael to intimidate Julius Reed.
After all, the reputation of the four great families was significant, and almost everyone knew about them.
A mere youth from Gonzalez City, didn’t he have any regard for this at all?
“CEO Carmichael, someone is calling you.”
Julius Reed smiled and looked behind Tristan Caldwell.
“Heh heh! You even dare to disrespect CEO Carmichael? Kid, let me tell you the truth, my boss Beckett Carmichael, that is…”
“Tristan Caldwell? What are you doing here?”
Just returning from the restroom, Beckett Carmichael saw that his seat was taken and thought it was Julius Reed’s guest.
It wasn’t until he got closer and heard the voice that he realized it was his own subordinate, the general manager of Abernathy Group.
Tristan Caldwell.
He was somewhat curious in his heart.
How did Tristan Caldwell know Julius Reed?
This didn’t make sense at all!
“CEO Carmichael!”
Upon hearing the voice, Tristan Caldwell also trembled and was extremely excited!
Beckett Carmichael was actually here!
As long as Beckett Carmichael was present, they would be fine.
Everyone knew that Beckett Carmichael had an Eli Yarrow under him, unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat!
Even if this young man opposite was formidable, could he be stronger than Eli Yarrow?
“What’s going on!”
Beckett Carmichael looked around, and seeing the three bodyguards lying down, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
Nando Brandon had just offended someone, and now his own manager hadn’t gone and offended someone as well, had he?
“CEO Carmichael, this kid broke one of my fingers and knocked out three bodyguards! And he even disrespected you!”
Tristan Caldwell, now seeing his big backer, felt much more at ease, and the pain in his hand grew stronger.
He looked at Julius Reed and sneered, “Kid, you’re dead today!”
“Mr. Reed, what’s going on here?”
Beckett Carmichael looked towards Julius Reed.
“Mr. Reed?”
Tristan Caldwell looked around: “Where is Mr. Reed?”
He thought his boss had run into an acquaintance.
But Stacy Cook’s heart skipped a beat.
No way!
This Mr. Reed, is it Julius Reed?
“It was just these two gentlemen who wanted to mess with me, tricking me into drinking the ‘Water of Life’ and even boasting that if I finished it, they would drink two bottles each. After I finished, these two went back on their word and didn’t want to play anymore.”
Julius Reed shrugged slightly, quite helpless.
“Bullshit! What kind of person am I! You think you’re worthy of making a bet with me? That was just a joke! You idiot, you took it seriously!”
Tristan Caldwell looked at his broken finger and cursed through gritted teeth.
However, what he failed to notice was that Beckett Carmichael’s face had already turned black.
Completely black.
Indeed, Beckett Carmichael’s guess was right.
His reckless subordinate had offended an important figure again!
“CEO Carmichael, you have to decide on this matter!”
Seeing the young man opposite looking fierce and menacing, Tristan Caldwell had no choice but to seek help from Beckett Carmichael.
“Goddamn it! I must be blind as a dog! Someone come here!”
Beckett Carmichael roared, and immediately several bodyguards came over.
“Heh heh! Hear that? You’re as blind as a dog for daring to offend CEO Carmichael and me too! Kid, you don’t get killed unless you act recklessly!”
Just as Tristan Caldwell finished speaking, he found his shoulder was being held.
“CEO Carmichael, what is this…?”
He didn’t understand what was going on, but Stacy Cook did.
It was over.
Beckett Carmichael knew Julius Reed.
“Mr. Reed, how would you like to handle this?”
Beckett Carmichael asked, bowing his head.
“CEO Carmichael… you!”
Tristan Caldwell’s eyes widened, unable to believe this was true.
“General Caldwell is also a person of status, help him preserve some dignity.”
Julius Reed pushed the ‘Water of Life’ in front of him towards Tristan Caldwell, looking at Stacy Cook who had already collapsed on the sofa in fear: “Two bottles each, as per our earlier agreement. After all, a personage such as General Caldwell and his friend should keep their word.”
