Chapter 204 He Seems To Have Quite A Background

Chapter 204 He Seems to Have Quite a Background

"Thank you, Stout, not necessary for now, maybe next time." Ava Jones twitched her lips slightly.

"Beautiful ladies, my skincare products are really good. You should…" Stout started again.

"Stout, there's a lot of food over there. Why don't you go wait for us there?" Billy cast a glance at him with an unfriendly look.

"This overweight guy can't even move as he sees beautiful women!" Billy thought.

"Alright!" Stout pouted and turned to head towards the food area.

"Ava, why are there so many people? And it seems like they're not all from our company, right?" asked Harleen.

"Ms Knight, take a closer look. Besides our company's people, you should recognize some others too." Said Hannah.

"What do you mean?" Harleen looked around the room. In a short while, her expression turned puzzled as she asked, "Why are there representatives from Ozin's Business Department here?"

SunPark Group's products had partnered with Ozin Tower, and as the Director of Marketing for the company, she naturally had interactions with them.

"Ms Knight, we're not quite sure either. Ozin Tower's representatives are here, and so are the top management from its other departments." Hannah explained.

"Moreover, besides Ozin Tower, there are representatives from a few other companies."

Harleen was taken aback once again. "Could it be a thank-you gesture for new and old clients?"

"But that shouldn't be the case. If that's the case, why wasn't I informed?"

"Ms Knight, do you know who the major shareholder of SunPark Group is?" Ava Jones continued, looking at Harleen Knight. "My colleagues and I are speculating that these companies might be under the umbrella of the major shareholder."

"Major shareholder?" Harleen shook her head. "I don't know either. I've never really paid attention to that. You've both been in the company for years, don't you know?"

"We know that the original major shareholder was supposed to be the Watkins family. But after their incident, we heard that it was transferred to someone else, but we're not quite sure." Ava Jones replied.

While they were conversing, they took a seat at a table in the hall.

"Hello, miss. It's nice to meet you!"

Shortly after sitting down, a well-dressed young man in a suit walked over with a beaming smile and addressed Harleen Knight.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Domi Tropper, the General Manager of Prospera Group. Could I have the pleasure of dancing with you?" asked he.

An intrigued glint flashed in his eyes. He swore she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, without a doubt.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know how to dance." Harleen replied with a polite smile. She certainly knew how to dance but didn't want to.

"Don't worry, it's quite simple. I can teach you." The man named Domi Tropper smiled.

"Sorry!" Harleen spoke again, "My husband doesn't like me dancing with other men. You should find someone else."

"Hmm?" Domi Tropper raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You're joking, right? You don't seem like someone who's married. Why mention a husband?" He assumed that it was just a flimsy excuse.

"He's my husband," Harleen said calmly, reaching out to hold Billy's arm, looking blissful.

Domi Tropper's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This gentleman, if you're interested in pursuing Ms Knight, you're out of luck for the rest of your life. You might want to find other targets." Ava Jones chimed in.

"I don't know your surname, sir?" Domi Tropper ignored Ava Jones and turned to Billy.

"That's enough. Don't bother with these thoughts. There's no woman here you're looking for. Leave." Billy picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Excuse me..." Domi Tropper's tone turned cold.

"I'm sorry, but if you don't want any trouble, leave immediately." Billy spoke up again.

"You look quite impressive, huh?" Domi Tropper's temper started to rise.

With his background and position, he rarely encountered people who didn't treat him with respect.

"Sir, I advise you to leave early. Otherwise, you might…" Ava furrowed her brows slightly.

Smack!

Before she could finish her sentence, Domi raised his hand and slapped her. Ava Jones's face immediately displayed a handprint.

This man named Domi Tropper had pent-up anger, and Ava Jones happened to step into it.

"Ah…" Ava Jones exclaimed in shock.

Billy hadn't anticipated his sudden aggression, and a chill surged from him.

"How can you slap her?!" Harleen sat up straight, her voice filled with anger. "You're such a jerk!"

"She doesn't know the rules, so she needs to be taught a lesson." Domi Tropper spoke coldly.

"Kneel and apologize!" Billy's voice turned heavy.

"Wow, such a lofty tone!" Domi Tropper sneered. "What did you say? Say that again..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, he flew across the room after being hit, somersaulting several times before crashing onto the floor, blood trickling from his mouth.

"Such audacity! To speak without any manners in front of Mr Gardner, I can see you're tired of living!" Stout, holding a plate of cake, spoke casually.

"Don't want to die? Crawl over and apologize. Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly even your mother won't recognize you." Stout continued.

Ava Jones and Hannah Hill exchanged astonished glances. Both of them were surprised by the strength of Stout whom they had once dismissed.

As the commotion reached the onlookers, people around gathered to watch.

"Isn't that Domi Tropper from Prospera Group? How did he end up getting beaten?"

"Yeah, I heard his uncle has quite the background in Ozin. Is that true?"

"Of course, it's true. I heard he's related to someone important in the Special Patrol Squadron!"

"That's impressive. He's probably not going to let this go easily."

...

The bystanders engaged in discussions and speculation.

"How dare you touch me!?" Domi climbed up from the ground, his anger evident. "I'll cripple you!"

With those words, he raised his hand and rushed towards Stout. He possessed some skills, barely reaching the True Master realm of a Warrior. He believed that the surprise attack from earlier had only worked because he was unprepared. This time, he aimed to cripple one of Stout's legs while activating his full strength.

"Oh, a Half-Step Warrior, not bad!" Stout mumbled with a piece of cake in his mouth.

"Watch out!" Seeing his nonchalant attitude, both Ava and Hannah shouted simultaneously.

Bang!

Stout remained unmoved in his spot. He then swung his hand, unleashing a gust of wind that sent Domi flying once more. After crashing into several tables and leaving a bloody wound on his head, Domi lay sprawled on the ground.

A collective gasp rippled through the onlookers; evidently, no one had expected Stout to possess such skills. Surprise registered on Harleen's face as well. It was her first time witnessing Stout's actions, and she couldn't believe that this rather rotund guy had such prowess.

"Didn't Billy say he's a doctor? He lied again!" Harleen thought.
