Qiao Weiwei, upon hearing this, was also very indignant and said coldly, "Mr. Tom, I know you are very rich, but this is not a place where you can do whatever you want. If you want to protect your goddaughter, then let her stay obediently in bed, lest she cause trouble by coming out!"
How could Qiao Weiwei endure such insult? Her early personality was quite fiery, and now that Mr. Tom had said such outrageous words, she naturally couldn't tolerate it.
"Oh, you're quite feisty." Mr. Tom, seeing the stunning beauty of Qiao Weiwei, could hardly contain himself. He had a fondness for Eastern beauties, and the moment he first saw Qiao Weiwei, he had decided to win over this magnificent woman.
Meng Xiahia, standing beside him, was incredibly angry and coquettishly pleaded with Mr. Tom, "Godfather, look how dare she speak to me like that! You must teach her a lesson for me!"
"My darling goddaughter, that's a given." Mr. Tom patted Meng Xiahia's hand, then coldly looked at Qiao Weiwei and said, "I always keep my word. You won't be leaving today. If you really want to leave, you can, but then you'll have to face the backlash from the large group behind me, Mr. Tom. I wonder if you can withstand it!"
Everyone present gasped. Although Qiao Weiwei was the president of the Muzi Chamber of Commerce, she was still a bit outmatched when it came to opposing the large group behind Mr. Tom.
Qiao Weiwei, who had been about to retort, was stopped by Li Se. He smiled and said, "Weiwei, leave it to me. Anyone who dares to take advantage of you with their words will not have an easy time."
"Alright," Qiao Weiwei nodded.
However, many people who heard Li Se's words were speechless. He wouldn't let Mr. Tom have an easy time? Good heavens, how arrogant could this young man be? Perhaps he was just trying to impress Qiao Weiwei, unaware that this was suicidal behavior.
Everyone felt there was nothing more to say, only that Li Se was extraordinarily arrogant. But the more arrogant he was now, the more miserable his fate would be later.
The group following closely behind Mr. Tom were all enraged.
"This is too presumptuous! How dare you say you won't let Mr. Tom have an easy time? Who gave you the courage to say such things?"
"Ignorant fool! This is like a newborn calf not fearing a tiger. How dare you utter such rebellious words in front of Mr. Tom?"
"Kneel down and apologize, then eat the crushed cake! That's what you should do!"
"..."
They remained highly disdainful of Li Se. In their eyes, Li Se simply hadn't been beaten down by society. Did he really think he could be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Tom just because he had some money?
He had no idea what "awesome" meant!
Mr. Tom also laughed, a laugh full of disdain. "What, you want to make things difficult for me? Come on, come on. I'd like to see how you plan to make things difficult for me. Young people nowadays, they just don't know the immensity of heaven and earth when they speak. Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Godfather, I think this kid probably just has a small company and thinks he's very important, which is why he's so arrogant. He has no idea that his meager assets are mere pocket money in your eyes," Meng Xiahia sneered repeatedly. Li Se was just too ignorant; otherwise, he wouldn't be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Tom. If he had knelt down and apologized earlier, and eaten the crushed cake, none of this would have happened.
"Pfft..." Many people couldn't help but laugh. In their opinion, just as Meng Xiahia said, Li Se was being so audacious because he had a small company.
Or perhaps he thought that with Qiao Weiwei as his backing, he would be safe. Little did he know that the Muzi Chamber of Commerce still had a significant gap compared to the large group behind Mr. Tom.
After all, the group behind Mr. Tom was an international conglomerate with branches worldwide; it was a completely different league.
Li Se ignored their discussions and repeated his earlier statement, saying, "If you all kneel down and eat the crushed cake, I might forgive you. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
"How dare you..." Meng Xiahia pointed at Li Se's nose and started scolding him.
*Slap!*
But before she could finish, Li Se slapped her, sending her flying. He said with displeasure, "I hate it most when people point at my nose when talking. Because you are a woman, I'll only give you one slap. If there's a next time, I'll break your fingers!"
Silence! An unnatural silence!
Everyone was stunned, hardly believing what they were seeing. Mr. Tom had already appeared, yet this young man remained reckless, even striking Meng Xiahia right in front of Mr. Tom.
After all, Mr. Tom had already stated that this was his goddaughter. Now, to hit his goddaughter in front of him was no different from slapping Mr. Tom in the face.
Mr. Tom's face turned dark. To dare hit his goddaughter in front of him was to completely disregard him.
"Good, good, good..." Mr. Tom said "good" three times. He stared at Li Se with a sinister gaze. "You are the first person to provoke me like this. You little brat, I will make you regret being born into this world. Jack!"
As his words fell, a very tall black man emerged. He stood at least 1.9 meters tall, with incredibly developed muscles, giving a striking visual impact.
For foreigners, they placed more emphasis on physical strength. It was clear that this man named Jack, judging solely by his muscles, could unleash immense power.
Many people secretly felt a pang of worry for Li Se. The comparison between the two created a stark contrast, mainly because Jack was so burly, like a bull.
Li Se, on the other hand, appeared rather lean.
"Are all you Eastern men this thin?" Jack asked contemptuously as soon as he appeared.
These words were akin to a blanket generalization, and many people present were unhappy because they were all Chinese, and now Jack was calling them all thin.
Of course, compared to Jack, they were indeed much thinner. They dared not refute him, as they knew they couldn't defeat him, and they also couldn't afford to offend Mr. Tom.
"Kid, after I'm done with your woman, I'll let Jack have a turn with her. I wonder if she'll enjoy it."
Mr. Tom narrowed his eyes, looking quite excited.
These words immediately drew dissatisfaction from many. No matter how you looked at Qiao Weiwei, she was still a beautiful woman of their country. Now, this Mr. Tom intended to torment her, and even let Jack have his way with her, which was no different from torment.
