Chapter 667

Under Lionel’s command, and his crew from S–Star Group, who had been casually standing around with hands in their pockets, suddenly whipped out batons like magic tricks.

“You dare?

Warner stammered, his voice pitchy with terror. “Don’t you know our Bright Group’s standing in Skyrim? We’re second only to the Ashbourne family here! Do you have a death wish?”

“Haha! The Ashbourne family is the wealthiest, even toddlers know that name, but I’ve never heard of the “Bright family,”

Lionel chuckled, rolling his neck to loosen up, an unconcerned scorn spreading across his face. “But now, having seen it, it turns out you’re just a bunch of perpetual runners–up. Besides, outside of Skyrim, you wouldn’t even make the leader board, haha!”

With the boss laughing, the rest of the gang erupted in a chorus of jeers, with Arnold joining in, practically doubled over with laughter.

Even Bennett couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.

“You, you, you!” Warner sputtered, at a loss for words.

Zachary shot his useless eldest son a fierce glare. This clown was dragging the whole family name through the mud with his buffoonery!

“There’s still time for you to turn back, and that would save your face,” Arnold suggested, trying to defuse the situation. “Things could get ugly real fast. Given your age, and it’d be foolish if you ended up bedridden for weeks over a scuffle.”

“Everybody, attack!”

Zachary, unable to contain his fury any longer–intolerant of the Ashbourne family treating his dignity as a doormat–bellowed, “Today, we’re taking Chasel back with us, no matter what!”

“Damn! I’ve never seen anything with a thicker skull, but here we are! Boys, let’s show them what we’ve got!”

With Lionel’s roar, the S–Star Group surged forward!

The melee erupted, with black–suited bodyguards and the rough–and–tumble brothers of S–Star clashing in the parking lot, transforming it into a scene straight out of a street brawl.

Though the Brights were shielded by their guards, they were still jostled about in the chaos, their suits and hair a disheveled mess.

Warner fared even worse; trying to play the dutiful son defending his father, he was kicked, slapped, and struck several times with batons, wailing in agony as his suit was worn and his dignity shattered.

Arnold, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, was caught off guard when one of the Bright group’s bodyguard lunged at him with a raised fist

Before he could react, a cry of pain rang out!

In a flash, Bennett, swift as lightning, stepped in front of Arnold and snapped the bodyguard’s arm before stomping him underfoot with effortless grace.

“Colonel, your reputation is well–deserved!”

Arnold exclaimed, clapping until his hands were red. “In this field, only Thaddeus could match you!”

“Unfaithful Thaddeus, he’s that skilled?” Bennett’s eyes narrowed.

Arnold coughed awkwardly, that nickname “Unfaithful Thaddeus” had been his own creation and now it felt rather awkward to hear it. Well. Don’t forget, he’s a military man too.”
