Chapter 112 Big Teddy Seeks Help

"I... I promise to leave Tina immediately!" Royce's lips trembled, and cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Eric shook his head coldly. "Yesterday, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You angered me. Do you think a few words can appease my anger? Do you think this can be resolved without paying a price?"

"Mr. Phillips, how can we appease your anger?" Jones asked.

Eric turned around and looked out the window. "Cut off one of your son's fingers. Teach him a lesson!"

"What?!" Jones and Royce were shocked by his words.

"Mr. Phillips, isn't this too harsh?" Jones gritted his teeth.

"If you think it's too harsh, then leave. No one asked you to come here. It was you who came to me begging," Eric said calmly.

Jones's expression became even more unpleasant. He knew that he had no bargaining power with Eric. Moreover, if he didn't agree to Eric's conditions, Jones's Group would be done for. But severed fingers couldn't be restored. Jones gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! We'll do as Mr. Phillips says."

"Dad! No, we can't!" Royce protested.

"What are you yelling about? Who made you offend Mr. Phillips? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. This will teach you a lesson! I'll do it myself!" Jones said fiercely.

Jones immediately grabbed the fruit knife from the table.

Amidst a chilling scream, Royce's pinky finger was ruthlessly severed.

Royce winced in pain, sweat beads forming on his forehead.

Eric walked up to Royce, picked up the severed pinky finger, and threw it into the nearby trash can.

Jones and Royce were dumbfounded; they were contemplating taking the severed finger to the hospital for reattachment.

"Forget about reattaching the finger. Otherwise, how can it be considered a lesson?" Eric said calmly.

Jones and Royce could only seethe in anger. They dared not speak up.

"Mr. Phillips, we have done as you instructed. Regarding the ban..." Jones said.

"You may leave. The ban on Jones's Group will be lifted after three days," Eric said calmly.

"Three days? Mr. Phillips, can you lift it today?"

Jones knew that if it was not lifted soon, Jones's Group would suffer substantial losses.

Eric's gaze grew stern as he coldly said, "When I say three days, it means three days. There's no room for bargaining!"

Jones nodded and left with his son in a sullen manner.

After this incident, the post that Royce had made on the school forum defaming Eric suddenly disappeared. It was apparently deleted by Royce himself.

No one in school knew the reason behind the deletion.

The next morning at New York University

Outside Tina's classroom

"What do you want?" Tina glanced at Royce in front of her.

Royce had a pale complexion, and his left pinky finger was wrapped in gauze.

"Tina, I've come to break up with you," Royce said in a low tone.

Royce felt extremely unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice. Just thinking about Eric's background made him feel scared!

"What?!" Tina exclaimed in surprise. "Royce, are you joking? You pursued me for so long, and now that I've agreed, you want to break up with me?" Tina stared angrily at Royce.

"There's no reason. From today onwards, I have nothing to do with you. Tell Eric not to bother me again."

After saying this, Royce quickly turned around and walked away.

"Are you kidding me?" Tina stomped her foot as she watched Royce leave.

Then Tina paused for a moment and recalled what Royce had just said.

That line was, "Tell Eric not to bother me again."

"Could it be Eric's doing? But... how could he possibly contend with Royce?" Tina was filled with doubts.

However, when Tina thought about Eric coming to her house yesterday, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Inside Eric's classroom

Eric stared blankly at Sharon's back.

At this moment, Big Teddy suddenly patted Eric on the shoulder and said, "Eric, that jerk Royce has already deleted the posts on the forum. Did you confront him about it?"

"Well, sort of." Eric nodded.

"Eric, Royce deserves a beating. You should make him post an apology on the forum to make things right," Big Teddy suggested.

Eric smiled and didn't say anything.

After this incident, Eric believed that Royce would never dare challenge him again.

"Oh, Eric, there's something I need your help with." Big Teddy scratched his head.

"Just tell me what it is. Don't hesitate." Eric patted Big Teddy's shoulder.

"Eric, my cousin got dumped by his girlfriend, and he's been heartbroken ever since. I have a good relationship with him, so I want you to help teach that despicable woman a lesson," Big Teddy said.

"Why did she break up with your cousin?" Eric asked.

"Because she found him poor and started dating a wealthy guy instead." Big Teddy shrugged.

Upon hearing Big Teddy's words, Eric remembered his ex-girlfriend, Wendy. She also left him after finding someone wealthier.

So Eric could empathize with this kind of situation.

"Alright, I will definitely help you with this," Eric agreed without hesitation.

In the afternoon, Eric drove his Lamborghini straight to the entrance of New York School, as that girl was a student at New York School.

The green Lamborghini was parked in front of the school gate.

Eric looked at the photo on his phone. It was sent by Big Teddy, and the girl in the photo was Big Teddy's cousin's ex-girlfriend.

After looking at the photo, Eric got out of the car and leaned against his Lamborghini, waiting leisurely.

Since Big Teddy's cousin's ex-girlfriend knew Big Teddy, he didn't come. The task of teaching this woman a lesson was left to Eric alone.

It was dismissal time.

"Wow! Such a cool sports car!"

"I wonder who owns this wealthy car!"

"I'd do anything to sit in this car!"

The students screamed with enthusiasm when they saw the Lamborghini.

A female classmate approached Eric, who was leaning against the Lamborghini, and struck up a conversation.

"Can you give me a ride home? I live alone." The attractive girl, with heavy makeup and big eyes, hinted at Eric seductively.

Eric glanced at her and calmly said, "I'm not interested."

Disappointed, the girl smiled begrudgingly and walked away.

Eric stood there for about ten minutes, during which at least ten more attractive girls approached him to strike up a conversation.

The less attractive ones probably lacked the confidence to approach him.

But all of them were rejected by Eric.

Just then, a man and a woman walked out of the school gate.

The woman wasn't ugly, but she couldn't be considered beautiful either; she was just average.

As soon as Eric saw her, he was intrigued.

That woman was his target for the day. She was Big Teddy's cousin's ex-girlfriend!

The man by her side had a big backcombed hairstyle and seemed to be her new boyfriend. He even had a bunch of keys hanging from his waist. Compared to poor people, such a man could be considered wealthy.

The man and woman quickly arrived there.

Upon seeing the Lamborghini, the woman took several glances at Eric and the car.

"Hello!"

As she passed by Eric, he took the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation.

Eric held the key to the Lamborghini, smiled, and said, "I don't know where you're going, but let me give you a ride. My car is right here."

After saying that, Eric pointed to his Lamborghini.

The man with the big backcombed hairstyle naturally had an unpleasant expression when he saw Eric hitting on his girlfriend.

If it were anyone else daring to hit on his girlfriend like this, the man would have definitely walked up and grabbed him by the collar, ready to fight.

However, once the man saw the impressive Lamborghini, he didn't dare say a word!
