Chapter 101 Punishment
Klay, after receiving a slap, fell to the ground, with one tooth knocked out and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!
With this slap, everyone present was stunned!
What just happened? Did my eyes deceive me?
Klay, holding his swollen cheek, asked innocently, "Josh, did you... make a mistake?"
Josh approached and kicked Klay.
"It's you! You're the one causing trouble on my turf. You deserve a lesson!"
Klay screamed in pain, clutching his leg and rolling on the floor. "Josh, why?!"
Yes, why indeed?
Klay's subordinates were also confused.
They had all heard about Josh's reputation. He is quite influential in Houston!
They were excited when they saw that the friend Klay brought was him. They were feeling indirectly connected to Josh through Klay.
But the first thing Josh did when he arrived was to beat Klay!
This contrast was unacceptable!
Josh approached Ryder and bowed with a flattering expression. "I didn't know, Mr. Clark..."
He suddenly caught a glance from Ryder, instantly understanding what it meant.
He quickly changed his words. "Ryder, it's truly an honor to have you here tonight! Please enjoy yourselves with your friends. It's on the house!"
"How can that be?" Ryder smiled generously. "Isn't this person wealthy? Let him foot the bill!"
"Makes sense!" Josh nodded in realization.
But inside, he was nervous. He broke out in a cold sweat and cursed at Klay!
Ever since offending Ryder and hurting his own left hand, he had developed a psychological shadow of Ryder.
He would wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares about Ryder.
He couldn't afford to provoke him!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly today.
Otherwise, without rhyme or reason, he might have ended up hurting himself again!
Ryder's polite attitude made his eyes widen involuntarily. He couldn't believe it!
Sarah was confused. "How did Ryder and Josh meet? Looking at their relationship, it seems Josh respects him a lot," she thought.
And then there's Klay, feeling so wronged and bitter at the moment!
He told someone to hit someone but ended up getting hit himself!
If it weren't for Josh, how could he endure such humiliation?
Of course, even if he had an arrogant personality, he knew that it was impossible to teach Ryder a lesson tonight.
It would be best to swallow his pride temporarily and seek revenge when the opportunity arises in the future!
So Klay staggered to his feet, forced a smile, and said, "I see. So Mr. Ryder knows Josh. My apologies. Let's go now, let me treat you tonight. Let's just forget about this, okay?"
Josh looked at Ryder, waiting for his response.
Ryder's gaze fell on Klay. "Do you know what your most unforgivable mistake is?"
"Ah?" Klay was suddenly stunned. He did not understand what was going on!
"Disrespecting my wife!" Ryder's dark eyes flickered coldly, like a hawk eyeing its prey. "Do you think treating me will be enough?"
Klay's body trembled involuntarily!
He had thought Ryder was worthless, but he turned out to be this beautiful woman's husband!
Regret flooded over him when he thought of the things he had just said!
Now he was in trouble!
"Then... what do I need to do for you to forgive me?" Klay asked cautiously.
"It's simple!" Ryder smiled gently. "All you need to do is sing a song! You used to love singing 'Smack That', right?"
Klay was surprised.
He knew Ryder was mocking him with that song.
But what could he do?
It was just a song, and it would be over in two or three minutes!
So he quickly nodded, "Singing is fine! That's my specialty!"
Five minutes later
On a cleared table, a secretary held a microphone and knelt on it.
A "rope" made from the pants of Klay's employees was tied around the leg of the table and connected to Klay's shoulder. Klay, who was shirtless and wearing only boxers, carried the "rope" on his shoulder!
At this moment, Klay's face was filled with embarrassment, conflict, and humiliation!
He never expected that "Smack That" would come with a scripted version!
Ryder sat on the sofa, took a sip of beer, and said, "Let's get started!"
The music began!
Klay forced a smile, holding back tears as he started singing. As he sang, the secretary used the rope to whip him.
The secretary kneeling on the tea table slapped his own buttocks while singing along.
At the same time, Klay's male employees stood in a row beside him, holding up their pants.
The situation was incredibly awkward!
Josh couldn't help but burst into laughter.
There were some people taking videos on their phones, ready to post on TikTok!
Even Sarah, at first, thought Ryder's behavior was a bit vulgar! But now she covered her mouth and laughed.
Klay was already drenched in sweat, his legs weak. He was so angry that he almost swore, but he could only vent his grievances in his heart. He dared not show any negligence in his actions. If he didn't perform well, Ryder might make him sing another song while sitting on the coffee table naked, which would truly be humiliating.
Three and a half minutes passed. Finally, the song "Smack That" was finished!
The private room erupted in enthusiastic applause!
Klay was so exhausted that he couldn't get up from the floor, his tongue hanging out!
Ryder stood up and walked over to him, giving him a thumbs up. Then he sneered, without even looking back, and left the private room.
Sarah, Josh, and others followed suit.
