Chapter 123 One Comes, One Gets Beaten
Michelle, seeing the three men blocking the elevator suddenly pouncing toward William with fierce expressions, screamed in fear, "William, be careful!"
But William wasn't afraid. He secretly felt fortunate that he learned martial arts from Sharon; otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle this situation.
Throwing a punch, he directly hit the nearest man who didn't expect William, an impoverished person, to strike first. By the time the man saw William's fist coming, the fist, as big as a sandbag, had already landed on his face.
The punch landed directly on his face, delivering a tremendous force that knocked him down, blood gushing from his nose.
The other two no longer had time to care about him and were already locked in a fight with William.
Left punch and right punch, William defended himself while single-handedly taking on two opponents without falling behind.
These spoiled children have no fighting skills, resorting to reckless brawling. Catching a loophole, William kicked one of them directly in the abdomen, sending him flying far away. After falling to the ground, he clutched his stomach in agony.
With only one opponent left, after a few rounds of exchanging blows, William switched his attack to palm strikes and sent him flying far away.
In less than ten minutes, William had defeated all three of them, leaving only the trembling female companion standing at the elevator entrance.
Ben and his companions were shocked by William's strength.
"This... this poor man actually knows martial arts?" Ben was greatly shocked. It was unexpected that they couldn't defeat him. This was truly surprising for him.
"Are you coming too?" William said calmly, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
The three individuals took a step back in fear and looked at William with obvious trepidation.
"Let's go, Michelle. Now we can take the elevator," William said with a smile.
"Okay, okay," Michelle nodded dazedly. She didn't expect William to know martial arts, let alone be so impressive. After a brief shock, she felt a sense of joy in her heart.
Following William into the elevator, when the doors closed, Michelle admiringly said, "William, I didn't expect you to know martial arts. You were really cool just now."
"I learned from my cousin," William said, enjoying Michelle's admiration and secretly feeling grateful that he had learned martial arts from Sharon. Otherwise, today would have been difficult to handle.
After William gave Ben and his friends a lesson, they were quite resentful. "This poor guy can fight!" one of his companions said in disbelief, holding his bleeding nose, feeling humiliated after being beaten in public.
"Yeah, this guy is so bullying!" another companion complained, clutching his stomach.
"Let him be arrogant for now! Later, I'll show him what I'm capable of!" Ben clutched his stomach, his eyes filled with resentment, unable to believe that he had been beaten by a poor person.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and William and Sophia stepped out one after the other. They saw several security guards standing outside the elevator.
"Please present your invitation to attend the party," one of the guards reached out and stopped them.
"These are our invitations." Michelle instinctively took out two invitations from her bag and handed them to the guard in front.
These two invitations were arranged by Noad, wanting William and Sophia to experience the high society of New York.
After checking the two invitations, the guards quickly let them in. "Go left and straight ahead to the party hall."
Following the guard's instructions, Michelle took William's arm, and they soon arrived at the party hall.
By this time, many people had arrived, both men and women, numbering over a hundred. They were all young people between the ages of 20 and 35. There were not only the young ladies from New York's top wealthy families but also handsome young men from nearby cities.
The entire hall was spacious, easily covering over five to six hundred square meters. The decoration inside was also luxurious, with a small live music performance.
Many people were listening with great interest. Of course, there was no shortage of various self-service delicacies and fine wines.
Michelle and William's appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, the reasons for their gazes were completely different.
People were looking at Michelle because of her beauty. When she appeared, all the beauty pageant contestants in the entire hall seemed to pale in comparison.
As for William, people were looking at him because he was dressed very casually, and not just casually, he was wearing inexpensive clothes, giving off the impression of a poor person.
Yet, these two mismatched individuals were affectionately holding hands.
"William, many people are looking at us," Michelle said, feeling a bit embarrassed, and quickly pulled William to a corner where no one was around.
William smiled and didn't mind at all. He had no interest in the so-called young elites here. After all, none of them had his wealth or influence. He had come here solely to accompany Michelle.
"Hello, by the way, come and take a look at our industry! I don't pay much attention to my clothes," he thought.
"William, Michelle, you're here." A crisp voice woke Michelle and William up. Both of them turned their heads and saw Noah wearing a purple off-shoulder gown, holding a glass of red wine, and smiling at them.
"Noah, you're here too." Michelle was delighted to see Noah.
William was not surprised that Noah was here, after all, her family was considered a second-tier wealthy family in the South district. He just nodded slightly to greet her.
"William, I heard you filmed the second season of 'Wilderness Life', and it rose to first place before it even aired. You should easily secure the top ratings next time. Congratulations!" Noah's attitude toward William was different from before.
Previously, her family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was William who persuaded Antony to invest, so she had always remembered this favor.
Although William came from a poor neighborhood, she no longer looked down on him like she used to. Instead, she regarded him as a true friend.
"Thank you, you look beautiful today too," William smiled and replied. Since she considered him a friend, William naturally considered her a friend as well.
"Look how nice this is." Michelle was the happiest.
The three chatted and laughed. The number of young people in the banquet hall increased. They either chatted in small groups or approached each other for conversation. It was the easiest for young people from prestigious families to find suitable partners in such occasions.
"Noah, why are you here? Why don't you introduce your friend?" The man who suddenly interrupted was a tall and handsome man, and it seemed that he knew Noah and was quite familiar with her.
However, Noah was not fond of him. She looked even a little disgusted.
"Merrick, what are you doing here?"
The tall and handsome man was Merrick Daras, Noah's ex-boyfriend, the one who broke up with her as soon as he learned about her family's impending bankruptcy.
He came over now to greet Noah, but it was obvious that his eyes were scanning Michelle up and down, making his intentions clear.
"You have a friend here, why don't you introduce her?" Merrick was shameless, even directly ignoring William's presence and approaching Michelle. "Hello, I'm Merrick from the Daras family in the West district. Can we be friends?"
Michelle didn't want to pay any attention to him; the farther away from this scumbag, the better.
But Merrick seemed completely unfazed by her indifference and even reached out to shake hands with Michelle. Seeing this, William couldn't help but frown. He realized that if he didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't leave.
He immediately reached out and grabbed Merrick's hand, exerting a slight force, and said, "Hello, my name is William Brown, and I am Michelle's boyfriend."
While speaking, William suddenly increased the pressure on Merrick's hand, causing his face to turn pale and contorted in pain.
Merrick didn't want to lose face in front of the two beautiful women, so he increased the strength of his handshake as well. However, no matter how hard he tried, William was able to suppress him firmly, causing his hand to become more and more painful.
In the end, unable to bear the pain any longer, Merrick surrendered.
"Ouch, let go, it hurts!" Merrick cried out in pain.
Noah and Michelle saw this and were delighted. This scum deserved to be taught a lesson.
