Chapter26 Survival of the Fittest
“What? Don't agree, kid? That's just how the world works. It's survival of the fittest. Even if the boss finds out, he would support what I did,” Caleb sneered, looking scornfully at Ethan. “Look at yourself. You’re not worthy of this beautiful woman, only Evan is.”
Evan also condescendingly glanced at Ethan before coldly laughing at Chloe. “Alright, beautiful, I've run out of patience. Since you refuse to accept my conditions, I won't force you, but he will suffer the consequences.”
With a cold smile, he pointed at Ethan. “Break his legs and throw him out.”
Evan's gaze was arrogant. With his status and position, he didn't even acknowledge ordinary people.
Inside, even if something went wrong, it could be resolved with some money.
“Men!” Caleb called out coldly.
Whoosh!
In an instant, several security guards appeared behind Caleb.
“Did you all understand Evan's orders? Hurry up and get rid of this trash.” Caleb looked at Ethan as if he were looking at a corpse.
“Don't mess around!” Chloe's face changed, “Lay a finger on him and I will call the police.”
Caleb sneered disdainfully, “Call the police? The police station is full of Evan's people. What difference would it make if you called them?”
Upon hearing this, slight panic finally appeared on Chloe's face. She could protect herself now, but she couldn't protect Ethan.
What should she do?
Should she call someone for help?
Seeing Chloe's panicked expression, Anastasia, who was unsatisfied just a moment ago, suddenly felt triumphant and sneered, “B*tch! You were so big-headed, right? Show me how arrogant you can be now? Watch your man get beaten to death! You will also be utterly toyed with by our Evan!” She said coldly, her eyes filled with hatred.
Caleb waved his hand coldly, “Hurry up and get to work. Clean this scum up!”
“You...” Looking at the security guards approaching with batons, Chloe's face turned pale.
“Don’t worry, Chloe. I'll handle this.”
Ethan held onto her and looked at Caleb calmly, “Have you thought this through? Do you really want to be someone else's dog?”
“You got a death wish, kid? Kill him!” Caleb was infuriated and shouted before grabbing a security baton and swinging it toward Ethan.
Bang!
Ethan dodged, the baton striking the table hard and leaving deep cracks to appear on the tempered glass surface. Caleb’s hand throbbed with pain.
He didn't expect Ethan to actually dodge that attack. Before he could react, Ethan grabbed him by the throat and slammed his head against the table!
Shatter!
The tempered glass shattered completely, shards flying everywhere along with a strong, red color of blood. Ethan didn't stop there; he grabbed a chair with his other hand and struck again.
Caleb's head bust open, his spine fracturing!
“Arghhh!” he let out a sound akin to a pig being slaughtered.
The next moment, Ethan kicked him out and said, “F*ck off!”
Thud!
Caleb fell to the ground, eyes rolled back with his life dangling by a thread.
Those around them were also shocked. No one expected Ethan to be so ruthless!
Chloe was taken aback as well, a hint of astonishment simultaneously rising in her heart.
Didn't Ethan say he couldn't fight, but just had a little more strength?
Was this... really just a little more strength?
“It's your turn.” Ethan looked at Evan and Anastasia.
At this point, both of them were immobilized with terror.
“You dare lay a hand on me? Do you know where you are?” Evan shouted in panic at the stunned security personnel. “What are you standing there for? Get him!”
Only then did the security guards react and rush toward Ethan.
Many customers in the restaurant put down their chopsticks, turning their heads to see what was happening.
“What's going on? Someone dares to cause trouble at Sunrise Restaurant?”
“Do they not want to survive in Novaria?”
“This is Sunrise Restaurant, the top luxury restaurant under Cloud Group!”
“If anyone dares to make a scene in here, it's equivalent to a death sentence!”
No matter the reason, whoever makes the first move wouldn’t end well!
Besides, those security guards weren’t to be trifled with.
Just as many people were preparing to see how Ethan would be beaten up, their jaws dropped in astonishment!
They saw him dodging left and right, effortlessly taking down his opponents without any injuries!
On the other hand, Evan and Anastasia were dumbfounded.
The customers in Sunrise Restaurant were all wealthy, so the security here is top-notch, being at least military-level!
Despite that, he took care of them that easily?
Was he even human?
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ethan was fine, but then seemed to realize something as her heart sank.
By publicly beating up Caleb and the security guards, it was obvious that the situation had escalated. Not only would Evan go after Ethan, but Sunrise Restaurant's business and reputation would be affected, with Ethan held responsible.
However, it wasn’t his fault. After all, he did this to defend himself.
Oh no. She can only use her connections now...
Chloe bit her lip.
Although she didn't want to, there was no other way now. Otherwise, Ethan would be in serious trouble!
Ethan, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and looked at Evan with a smile. “By the way, what was it you said earlier? Survival of the fittest? Kneel down and apologize? Disable me?”
Feeling the coldness in his smile, Evan suddenly felt weak in his legs and stammered, “You... Don’t you dare mess around, I... I... I...”
He felt his throat dry up, struggling to speak clearly. He didn't want to end up like Caleb!
However, at that moment, the door suddenly opened.
There was a commotion as a group of elegantly-attired men and women entered, led by a seemingly-extraordinary man. It was clear that they had a remarkable status.
As soon as the man appeared, the scene’s atmosphere instantly changed. Everyone's face showed a hint of respect and fear.
The man was none other than Kevin, Sunrise Restaurant’s owner.
“Can someone tell me what's going on here?”
Today, he happened to be discussing business with a few out-of-town friends. When it was time to eat, he wanted to have a meal at his own restaurant.
But who could’ve expected that as soon as he walked in, he would see this chaotic mess resembling nothing like a top-notch restaurant. It simply destroyed his reputation!
Hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help but let out cruel and cold laughter.
This was Kevin, a prominent figure. Whoever angered him was going to suffer a very unpleasant fate.
