Chapter 271 The Gonzales Family of Imperial City
Was the Gonzales family powerful in the Imperial City?
Of course, they were!
Half of the martial arts students in the Imperial City came from the Gonzales family!
And they had groomed champions in various competitions!
So, everyone looked at William as if he was an idiot.
However, William patted Dashiell's shoulder, a cold smile on his face. "Mr. Gonzales, don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."
"What do we have to talk about!" Dashiell said, shaking off William's hand violently, his face filled with rage.
William shrugged and turned to Betty, saying helplessly, "See, he doesn't want to talk. This is what happens when you show someone respect and they don't value it."
After saying that, William turned his head to look at Dashiell, making Dashiell shiver all over in fear!
"You... What do you want to do!" Dashiell stammered, really panicked.
"Beat you up!" William said briefly as he slapped Dashiell directly, shocking everyone!
Everyone was stunned that William hit Dashiell without any hesitation!
"Your boyfriend is crazy, he must be crazy! Doing this is asking for death!" Emilia exclaimed.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her shock, and said coldly, "Betty, your boyfriend can do anything, but hitting Mr. Gonzales is too much. He's not only harming himself but also implicating us, don't you know? The Gonzales family's power in the Imperial City is unimaginable!"
"Shut up!" Betty said coldly to Emilia, glaring at her and scaring her into silence.
Betty's face turned slightly pale. She was worried about William since she had brought him to the dinner; any issues would deeply cause her guilt.
Thinking of this, Betty couldn't stand it anymore and was about to get up, but Harper beside her stopped her.
"Harper?" Betty asked, turning to look at Harper in disbelief.
"Sit down, I don't think he would do something brainless. Let's watch and see," Harper said with a smile, looking at William with a hint of curiosity.
William was becoming more and more mysterious.
What kind of confidence did he have to dare to lay hands on Dashiell?
Stunned by the sudden slap, Dashiell tilted his head and was unable to speak for a while.
Upon regaining consciousness, he glared at William angrily, growling like a beast, "You're asking for death! You will pay a terrible price for what you just did!"
This was the first time in his life that he had been slapped!
He was furious!
"Price?" William sneered. "Bring it on, I want to see what kind of lesson you can teach me."
"Fine, fine, fine! You said it yourself!" Dashiell said, trembling with anger. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number, demanding, "Get over here immediately! I got hit on your turf!"
"He's done for. Mr. Gonzales is really angry! Betty, look at what your boyfriend has done!" Emilia scolded, her eyes filled with panic.
Betty just glanced at her coldly and ignored her.
This made Emilia very angry, cursing inwardly, 'just because you're pretty, you think you're all that! Wait until Dashiell's people arrive, let's see if you can still be so calm!'
"You still have a chance to apologize. If you kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, and break your own arms, I'll let you go for Betty's sake! Otherwise, when my people arrive, you'll be carried out of Royal Orchid Fine Dining horizontally today!" Dashiell declared arrogantly.
Since making the call, he had become very confident.
William just looked at him as if he was an idiot and then sat back down next to Betty.
"Are you really sure? Do you want me to call my dad?" Betty asked with concern.
"No need. It's a small matter," William said, grinning and raising his eyebrows.
Betty rolled her eyes at him, scolding, "You're just showing off. Don't come crying to me later."
Soon, the door of the private room was slammed open!
"Who dares to touch Mr. Gonzales? Who wants to die?"
A violent shout came from the doorway, followed by a tattooed strongman leading three or four thugs into the room!
They exuded a chilling aura, evidently malicious, each one looking fierce and menacing!
As soon as they appeared, Dashiell and the others in the room stood up excitedly!
Tarquin, who had been mocking William earlier, shouted the loudest, "They're here. They're here. It's Oberon! Haha, that guy is done for! Oberon is the boss of this area, and he's ruthless!"
Dashiell sneered, pointing at William and ordering, "Oberon, break his limbs and throw him off the roof!"
With Oberon backing him up, he didn't believe there was anything he couldn't handle!
Oberon shrugged, exuding a powerful and domineering aura, and sneered, "Mr. Gonzales, leave it to me!"
After speaking, he followed Dashiell's gesture and looked over, instantly breaking into a cold sweat.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that William!"
Hearing this, Oberon immediately changed his expression, completely ignoring the stunned looks of those around him. He jogged over to William, bent over, and with a face full of flattery and sycophancy, greeted, "Mr. Jones, what are you doing here?"
"Mr. Jones!" the few guys behind Oberon called out as they bent over respectfully, grinning obsequiously.
'What the hell is going on?
Dashiell thought, dumbfounded!
Tarquin was also stunned, thinking, 'Mr. Jones? Oberon actually called him Mr. Jones! The world must be crazy. I must have heard wrong!'
Except for Betty and Simeon, almost everyone was shocked by Oberon's actions!
Even Harper, who had been aloof and silent, raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at William with intense curiosity.
William seemed to be much more formidable than he appeared!
Oberon's call of "Mr. Jones" made everyone's hearts tremble!
What exactly was William's identity?
And judging by Oberon's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was acting!
Betty's eyes mirrored her curiosity as William grew increasingly enigmatic.
She remembered that William had taught Oberon a lesson last time, and now he had subdued them in the blink of an eye.
Dashiell's face was so dark with anger that it seemed like a storm was brewing. He clenched his fists in anger, never expecting the people he called to betray him so quickly!
William also didn't expect Dashiell to call Oberon. When he saw Oberon, he was amused.
This was like a softball!
After exchanging a few pleasantries with William, Oberon immediately turned around, glared viciously at Dashiell and the others, and pointed at him while cursing, "Mr. Gonzales, what do you mean! You called me to hit Mr. Jones? If you don't explain this clearly, none of you are leaving Royal Orchid Fine Dining!"
Dashiell's face was icy cold. This was the first time he felt such blatant provocation and insult!
He said, though gritted teeth, "Oberon! Don't be ungrateful! The only reason you can stand here is because of us! If you dare do anything to me, it won't be long before you and your brothers have no place in Lindwood City!"
Oberon was taken back, his face flashing with hesitation. He understood what Dashiell meant. In Lindwood City, having money and connections was the key.
The reason Oberon was held in such high regard was because those rich kids often hired him to do some dirty work.
If he angered them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Oberon didn't mind himself, but he cared about his brothers!
He valued loyalty and righteousness!
So now, Oberon found himself in a dilemma. On one side was Dashiell's threat, and on the other was William!
He chose to follow William because he was good at fighting and wanted a protector.
But in front of Dashiell, could William hold his ground? This was something Oberon had to consider.
While Oberon hesitated, Dashiell's expression changed. He knew people like Oberon always cared about money. In this world, there was nothing money couldn't solve!
William was also waiting for Oberon's choice. He never fully trusted Oberon, and the others, so this was a test for them.
Suddenly, Oberon acted. He rushed over and grabbed Dashiell by the collar, shouting angrily, "Dashiell, don't be arrogant with me! Don't think that just because you have some money, you can insult me! I won't do anything that betrays my principles! Get lost! If you don't believe me, I'll bring my brothers and beat you up! Even if you're the heir of the Gonzales family in the Imperial City, I'm not afraid of you!"
Oberon cursed with satisfaction, but he didn't really dare to hit Dashiell. After all, Dashiell was the heir of the Gonzales family in Imperial City, which had connections and martial arts schools in Lindwood City as well.
If he hit Dashiell, Oberon and his men would truly be unable to survive in Lindwood City.
"Fine, fine, fine! Oberon, remember what you just said. I have plenty of ways to make you and your brothers in Lindwood City like stray dogs!" Dashiell said threateningly, shaking off Oberon's hand and glaring at him viciously.
After speaking, he turned to leave as he knew the current situation was very unfavorable for him!
However, a sudden voice exploded in the room.
"Did I say you could leave?" William, who had been lazily sitting the whole time, suddenly spoke. He walked over to Oberon, patted his shoulder, gave him an approving look, and then looked at Dashiell with a sneer.
