Chapter 178 Beating the Dog

Lu Yang ignored Bai Hao, dismissing him as mere barking. He strode forward, intending to force his way in.

"Kid, you're really asking for it. I didn't teach you a lesson just now because of Young Master Xiao's face. Don't you dare be ungrateful!"

Hollidono said coldly to Lu Yang.

"Mr. Hollidono, you don't need to give me face. This kid has nothing to do with me; on the contrary, we have a feud. If you want to fight, just do it!"

Xiao Wuji said with a cold smile upon hearing Hollidono's words.

"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite!"

"Break this kid's legs!"

Hollidono directly instructed his bodyguard.

The bodyguard, who had been eager for action, immediately threw a punch towards Lu Yang's face upon hearing Hollidono's command.

If this punch landed, a normal person's entire face would be distorted.

However, Lu Yang was no ordinary person. Even ten such bodyguards would be no match for him.

Lu Yang reached out, grabbed the man's fist, and pulled forcefully. The man was instantly pulled forward, falling flat on his face.

"Fuck, I'm going to kill you!"

The bodyguard, humiliated by Lu Yang, scrambled to his feet and lunged at Lu Yang again.

But before his attack could reach Lu Yang, a group of people emerged from the hotel, led by a tall foreigner, Gates Barron.

The bodyguard immediately froze, daring not to move.

Accompanying Gates Barron was the Director of the Jiangbei City Construction Bureau. They had been discussing a pier construction plan and were about to leave.

Seeing the chaos at the entrance, Gates Barron's expression turned cold. After escorting the Director of the Jiangbei City Construction Bureau away, Gates Barron looked at his subordinate, Hollidono, and asked, "Hollidono, what's going on here?"

"Respected Mr. Gates Barron, this kid was causing trouble at the hotel entrance. I told the bodyguard to handle him, but it seems the bodyguard is no match for this kid!"

"I will immediately report this matter to the African embassy and have the relevant authorities handle it!"

Hollidono said quickly.

"You can't even handle such a small matter. You're becoming more disappointing by the day. Hurry up and clear the hotel entrance!"

Gates Barron said coldly and moved to go inside.

"Gates Barron?"

"I came to find you, and your people stopped me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

At this moment, Lu Yang shouted loudly at Gates Barron.

The wealthy individuals around them all sneered upon hearing Lu Yang's words.

"Is this kid an idiot? Can't he see Mr. Gates Barron is already angry? And he still says something like this at this critical moment? His brain must be waterlogged!"

"Yeah, he's young and doesn't learn anything good, yet he insists on acting tough. He probably just wants an autograph from Mr. Gates Barron!"

"Young people these days, I don't even know what to say!"

"..."

"This good-for-nothing is causing trouble again. He's truly fearless, insisting on confronting Mr. Gates Barron. Hurry up and call the authorities to arrest this trash. If he disturbs Mr. Gates Barron, the Jiangbei City Qinglong Bay project will suffer greatly!"

Bai Hao also sneered repeatedly from the side.

Gates Barron heard Lu Yang's words, turned his head, and gave Lu Yang a cold glance before shifting his gaze to Hollidono.

"In ten minutes, I want this kid to disappear from my sight forever!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Upon hearing his boss's words, Hollidono sneered and was about to call the relevant authorities.

"Gates Barron, have you forgotten what your boss told you?"

Lu Yang looked at Gates Barron and continued.

"Boss?"

Upon hearing these words, Gates Barron's expression changed drastically. He slapped the phone out of Hollidono's hand, which he had already connected, and quickly ran towards Lu Yang.

"You... are you the Mr. Lu that my boss mentioned?"

Gates Barron asked Lu Yang nervously.

His boss, Gulahang Deli, had personally called him this morning, saying that his boss's boss, Mr. Lu, was coming. Gates Barron naturally dared not be negligent and had instructed his assistant to wait outside, ready to report immediately upon Lu Yang's arrival.

However, his assistant had been insincere, long disregarding Gates Barron's instructions.

"I apologize, Mr. Lu. I didn't know it was you. I have offended you greatly, please forgive me!"

Gates Barron immediately said respectfully to Lu Yang, his attitude making a complete 180-degree turn.

He knew that his boss highly respected Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang was only a young man in his twenties, the methods he had displayed had earned his boss's admiration from the bottom of his heart, leading him to personally acknowledge Lu Yang as his superior. If he offended this gentleman, his boss would consider it lenient if he didn't kill him.

"Ignorance is forgivable!"

"But your secretary, tsk tsk, is indeed a bit..."

Lu Yang said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Gates Barron kicked his assistant, Hollidono, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"You good-for-nothing dog, why did I have you standing at the entrance? Wasn't it to wait for Mr. Lu? And now you've blocked Mr. Lu at the entrance and even had bodyguards attack him. What have you done?"

Gates Barron looked at Hollidono, who was on the ground, and questioned him coldly.

"Boss, I... I didn't know he was Mr. Lu!"

Hollidono tried to explain, stammering and unsure what to say, his heart sinking to the bottom.

"If you didn't know, couldn't you have asked? What the hell have you been doing here? Damn it, you've taken all these gifts, have you been using me for your own personal gain?"

Seeing the gifts behind Hollidono, Gates Barron became enraged again and kicked Hollidono once more.

The wealthy individuals standing nearby were utterly stunned by this unbelievable scene.

They couldn't understand Lu Yang's identity, which could make the extremely arrogant African magnate Gates Barron so respectful, as if a grandson treating his grandfather.

Bai Hao and Xiao Wuji were also astonished, their mouths agape, at a loss for words.

"What immense background does this kid have to make the African magnate Gates Barron so respectful, to the point of sacrificing his own assistant for him? This is too incredible!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen Gates Barron show such respect to a Chinese person. Even the Governor of Jiang Province wouldn't receive such honor!"

"This world is too crazy. A young man who appeared out of nowhere is completely dominating us wealthy individuals. Alas..."

"..."

The surrounding wealthy individuals whispered amongst themselves.
