Chapter 236 A Different William
William's heart turned cold, and his eyes flashed with anger.
As soon as Robert finished speaking, a loud slap echoed through the vast first-floor lobby of the company!
William's right hand made intimate contact with Robert's right cheek with a resounding smack.
William put all his strength into that slap!
Robert had just stood up when the slap sent him staggering.
For a moment, there was silence. Someone like Robert, who had been in many fights, was stunned.
But this slap made his head buzz.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Several security guards were particularly excited. William's appearance had relieved a lot of their pressure.
Of course, many were deeply shocked.
Was this really Mary’s husband, William, the so-called wimp?
He was incredible!
Now, he was practically their hero!
The employees quickly recovered from their brief shock and realized that William's actions were completely unexpected!
He acted without hesitation!
And he was facing about seven tattooed thugs who clearly came to cause trouble!
Several female employees now looked at William with admiration; they thought he was so manly!
Looking at the other male colleagues present, each one chose to shrink back when faced with trouble, but only William stood at the forefront!
Others were murmuring.
Somebody complained, "What's he showing off for? If he pisses them off, we'll be the ones in trouble."
Someone remarked, "A wimp trying to be a hero, Ms. Smith is doomed."
Another added, "Let's see what he can do. He's really overestimating himself."
William ignored these murmurs.
However, Mary broke free from William's embrace, furrowing her brows and glaring at him angrily. William was being too reckless; if something happened to him, what would she do?
Mary was worried about William; there were security guards here.
"Are you okay?" Mary asked worriedly.
William shook his head and smiled.
Robert also came to his senses; this was the first time someone had dared to kick and slap him!
If word got out, how could he show his face?
Robert was furious, glared at them with bloodshot eyes and shouted, "You little punk, you dare hit me? Fine! I'll break your hands!"
The guys behind Robert were also stunned by William's actions, looking at each other in disbelief.
William showed a look of disdain, shielding Mary behind him, and said coldly, "So what? One more touch of my wife, and I'll slap you again!"
Since the conflict had already started, there was no need to act weak.
"Bring it on." As soon as Robert finished speaking, there was another crisp slap.
William naturally backhanded him again, clean and swift!
Awesome!
That was everyone's thought.
"Wow, these days, some people actually ask to be slapped!"
William shook his right hand, looking innocent.
"Damn it! Kill him. Throw him in the river," Robert ordered. He was completely enraged; he was utterly humiliated today. If he let him get away with this, he might as well quit!
And his face was now swollen like a bun, causing the surrounding people to burst into laughter.
Someone yelled, "Protect Ms. Smith!" Several security guards immediately rushed over, standing in front of William and Mary.
No kidding!
If these guys went crazy and Mary got hurt, they would all lose their jobs.
Robert urged, "Damn it! Go! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"
Robert, holding his face and waving a steel rod, charged at the security guards, starting a brawl!
William, knowing his limits, saw that Mary was being protected by the other security guards and prepared to retreat.
But then, a thug with a rod charged at Mary!
This made William furious.
He stopped his retreating steps, stepped out from the crowd, and grabbed a stun baton from one of the security guards' waists.
"Step back, we'll handle this!" the security guard advised.He didn't understand what William was doing, but then saw William walking towards the enraged Robert with the stun baton!
Robert was still shouting, "Beat them to death! Teach them a lesson..."
Before he could finish, he saw the stun baton in William's hands sparking with blue electricity, and William unhesitatingly jabbed it into his stomach!
Robert, hit by the stun baton, convulsed, his mouth twitching and eyes rolling back as he was repeating his words incoherently.
William smiled, watching Robert with his eyes rolled back and hair standing on end. Robert collapsed to the ground.
Everyone was stunned, shocked by the scene before them!
They never expected the table to be turned so quickly!
Was this a performance?
Then, William went around and zapped the remaining troublemakers one by one. No one could stop him because he moved so fast.
Seeing the seven troublemakers lying on the ground convulsing, William calmly tossed the stun baton aside, clapped his hands, and looked disgusted.
So strong!
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Mary, who stood there with her cherry-red lips parted, looking at William in disbelief.
Although Mary had seen William fight before and knew he was skilled, couldn't help but wonder on what was happening now?
He single-handedly took down these thugs!
And he only used a stun baton.
Could it be that he dealt with Isaac the same way last time?
William felt countless eyes on him and turned to the security guards, saying, "What are you standing around for? Call the police."
"You, you’re dead meant. My boss won't let you off," Robert warned, lying on the ground, trembling, managed to squeeze out two sentences.
"No one can threaten me," William said as he straightforwardly bent down, picked up the stun baton from the ground, and very politely jabbed it at Robert again in front of everyone!
Everyone was stunned, especially Brenda, whose eyes were wide open.
William really acted without hesitation!
Impressive, impressive!
This farce finally ended with Mary handling the situation.
Back in the office, William sat down amidst applause and praise from everyone.
In the past, these people had always looked down on William and criticized him.
Now, being praised and admired was incredibly satisfying!
"William, come to the office with me for a moment," Mary said suddenly, looking somewhat troubled.
William had just sat down but got up again amidst envious murmurs and followed her out.
In the chairman's office, an angry voice echoed through the entire floor.
Keith Carter criticized, "William? Who gave you the right to interfere with our BK Pharmaceuticals' internal matters? You're just Mary's husband. Do you understand the rules and regulations of our company?"
Keith angrily scolded William, his face darkening. He said, "Ms. Smith, I don't care how you handle this, but people like him are not welcome in our company! Also, all responsibility for this incident lies with William and has nothing to do with our company."
Keith Carter was furious; he was the newly appointed vice chairman, backed by the Miller family!
Today's incident was orchestrated by the Miller family, specifically by Jessica.
Keith had just hired some thugs to cause trouble to tarnish BK Pharmaceuticals' reputation.
As for why Jessica targeted a small company like BK Pharmaceuticals, Keith didn't dare to ask.
But now, William had resolved the situation!
And according to his subordinates, he single-handedly knocked out seven thugs with a stun baton!
This was simply absurd!
Before coming here, Keith had investigated and found that William was just a freeloader.
What was going on with William?
Mary sat in the chairman's swivel chair, looking at William in front of her.
"Mr. Carter, let me handle this. William acted to protect the company's employees, so the company should take responsibility if there's a problem, okay?"Mary interrupted Keith's accusations against William.
Keith had just parachuted into the company a few days ago.
She only knew that the Carter family had some status and influence in Lindwood City.
The Carter family was also a member of BK Pharmaceuticals' board.
Now, BK Pharmaceuticals had received a billion-dollar investment from the Jones Group from Imperial City, and many people were eyeing this lucrative opportunity.
"No, I disagree! The company has no responsibility for this!" Keith was furious, continuously berating William, "The company doesn't belong to you alone! You're just a puppet put forward by the board, and you have no say in this. Today, if it turns out that people really got sick from our drugs, what then? Your husband beat them up; what if they make a fuss?"
"So, he must bear all the responsibility," Keith shouted, slamming the table.
Mary furrowed her brows slightly. She knew this had nothing to do with William, but if Keith reported this to the board, it would be beyond William's ability to resolve it.
"Are you done?" William said dismissively and shrugged, looking calmly at Keith in front of him.
"What's that attitude about?" Keith's face darkened. He criticized hatefully, "Look at you, you're just a wimp kept by Ms. Smith. Be respectful when you talk to me!"
Keith stood up, adjusting his suit collar, looking arrogant and domineering.
However, in the next second, William walked up to him, coldly staring into his eyes, and said, "Who sent you?"
