After all, her defending a man to such an extent was illogical by any means.

In the circles of Lancas City, as big as it may be said, it’s also quite small.

Not knowing who Julius Reed was meant that everyone present would take Fernando Lee’s side.

If any rumors spread, it would damage both her and the Leocadia Family’s reputation.

“Although I don’t know this young man, to be able to make such a wager with Young Master Lee, especially at Leocadia’s birthday dinner, he must certainly be somebody!”

Bryson Stephen looked at Julius Reed, offering a slight smile as he said, “To be honest, I’m somewhat looking forward to seeing you win the bet. After all, no one in Lancas City has ever dared to slap Young Master Lee.”

Though the Lee Family might not be the top-tier family, at their level, everyone knows you don’t hit someone in the face.

No one would let emotion impair their judgment.

It was the first time anyone, like Julius Reed, had directly announced an intention to slap Fernando’s face.

Without a doubt, the consequences would be dire.

Fernando might not be very capable, but he was exceptionally petty at heart.

Even if Julius lost, Fernando would frenzy in his retribution.

“Since that’s the case, I certainly won’t disappoint you.”

Julius Reed turned to face Sophia Leocadia, “This white jade cup belongs to you now, doesn’t it?”

Sophia Leocadia did not speak, but looked towards Fernando Lee.

The cup was still in her hands, but after all, it was the property of the Lee Family.

“Of course! The birthday gift I gave to Leocadia is clear for all here to see! From now on, it’s her personal property,” Fernando said with extreme pride.

Giving away an item worth hundreds of millions so casually incited envy among the surrounding women.

Even though those young men and women present at the dinner weren’t short of money, compared to the Lee Family, calling them poor wouldn’t be too far off.

“Then now it’s mine.”

Sophia Leocadia, having received Fernando’s acknowledgment, turned to look at Julius Reed.

She was very curious about what he intended to do.

“This, sell it to me.”

Without waiting for Sophia to react, Julius Reed snatched the white jade cup and then violently smashed it to the ground!

Crack!

The once invaluable cup was shattered into two pieces.

An eerie silence fell.

Everyone’s eyes were wide open with shock as they gazed at the broken jade cup on the ground, feeling a sense of malicious glee.

Five hundred million gone in an instant, and it was a birthday gift from Fernando Lee to Sophia Leocadia.

How would he compensate for this?

Or would Fernando not unleash the Shadow Warrior?

“The means are a bit crude!”

Bryson Stephen, who was the closest, shook his head and sighed, “I thought you were somebody special, but now by resorting to such primitive tactics to escape your predicament, it’s truly disappointing. Do you think that by breaking the cup, you can avoid proving your loss? Not only do you have to honor the terms of the wager now, but you’ll also have to compensate with five hundred million and bear Young Master Lee’s wrath.”

It was clear, this was an act of desperation.

Thinking that by shattering the cup, he could lose the proof and avoid the bet?

That would be wishful thinking.

Sophia Leocadia also found it difficult to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

In her memory, this man wasn’t one to shirk responsibility for his actions.

If that were the case, why had he risked his life to save her from the truck only to leave quietly?

Or perhaps, over the years, people change?

She couldn’t articulate it or figure it out.

“Kid, you’re finished! Today, I’m not only going to knock your teeth out, but I’ll also ensure you spend your life as a cripple!” Fernando Lee said viciously as he looked at the halved white jade cup on the floor: “You’ll compensate five hundred million right now; if you can’t pay, get ready to rot in jail!”

This was no longer just about a wager; it was outright insult!

Fernando gestured with his hand, and the security guards by the door circled closer once again.

“What’s the rush?”

Just as everyone thought Julius Reed was a dead man, he bent down to pick up the two halves of the cup and brought them to Sophia Leocadia, “Take a close look, what do those two characters on the fracture say?”

With his prompt, Sophia Leocadia inspected it carefully, and then her expression changed drastically.

“This! How is this possible!”

Her mouth hung open, and her eyes went wide in astonishment.

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

Bryson Stephen also leaned over to look and likewise jumped in shock.

The broken surface bore four big characters: “Emperor’s Chamber Pot.”

Though the writing was crooked, the characters were still very clear.

And they were in simplified Chinese!

This was simply impossible during the Cassius Dynasty!

“Young Master Lee, I’m afraid you’re going to lose.”

Bryson Stephen looked puzzled, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

“How could this be?”

Fernando Lee hurried over upon seeing their abnormal reactions, and when he saw those four words, his face was filled with disbelief!

But how would he know that these were the very words Julius Reed had carved onto it at that time!

Using someone’s previously utilized chamber pot for a bet, wasn’t this just courting death?

“Young Master Lee?”

Julius Reed called out lightly.

“Ah?”

Fernando Lee blinked, his mind going blank.

It had been authenticated by experts, how could such a huge mistake occur?

Slap!

Before he could react, Julius Reed slapped him across the face!

Thump!

Due to the great force, Fernando Lee, who was completely unprepared, was knocked straight to the ground, clutching his face as his shock turned to anger.

“You dare hit me?”

He clenched his teeth tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

In front of such a large audience, being slapped across the face, how could he ever mix in these circles again if word got out?

“Young Master Lee, you should accept the loss according to the bet. So many people are watching, do you really want to earn a reputation for being untrustworthy?”

Bryson Stephen said sternly from the side.

Although he was in the same circle as Fernando Lee, they were rivals in love.

Now that someone could make Fernando Lee lose face, he naturally enjoyed seeing this.

“You just wait!”

Provoked by Bryson Stephen’s words, Fernando Lee took a deep breath and threatened Julius Reed fiercely, “I will pay you back double for this!”

“What’s the rush, I’m not finished yet!”

Julius Reed walked over, helped Fernando Lee up, and casually removed his hand from his face.

“What are you going to do!”

Fernando Lee asked with a face full of fear.

Slap!

Another vehement slap!

After this, the hall fell completely silent.

Who is Fernando Lee?

The most favored young master of the Lee family!

He swaggered through the capital city, and no one dared to slap him.

Let alone slapping, they didn’t even dare to criticize him.

But here in this small Five-river Province, in the ordinary coastal city of Lancas City, he was being slapped twice in a row by an unknown youth!

And with such force, now the palm prints could be clearly seen on Fernando Lee’s face, one on each side, very conspicuous.

Even the corner of his mouth was bleeding.

“There, I have finished hitting you. The car is mine now, right?”

Julius Reed shook his hands, looking at Fernando Lee with a smile on his face.

Hiss!

The people present took in a cold breath.

What’s meant by taking an inch and wanting a mile, what’s meant by not knowing whether one is alive or dead?

What Julius Reed was doing now was a perfect interpretation of those phrases.

“Don’t go too far!”

Even Sophia Leocadia quietly reminded from the side.

The Lee family was not an ordinary family, with Fernando Lee being slapped twice, the Lee family would certainly retaliate!

“Exactly, you’ve done your hitting, don’t get carried away.”

Bryson Stephen also couldn’t bear to watch any longer, he hadn’t expected the young man to really dare to slap those two times.

The incident had escalated to such a point that what Julius Reed had hit was not just Fernando Lee’s face, but the face of their whole circle.

“I’ll ask one last time, can Young Master Lee afford to lose? If you’re still a man, then please honor the bet. If you’re a woman… oh, I never hit women.”

Julius Reed stood beside Fernando Lee, asking with a cheeky smile.
