Chapter 479 You're Fired!

The once chaotic and noisy private room went dead silent, except for some constant moans from Theodore's guys, who lay on the ground. And Theodore sat on the ground in pain, clutching his stomach.

The place was a total wreck!

Only Rex stood tall in the middle of the room!

Rex casually tossed the sofa aside and scratched the back of his head like nothing happened!

Right then, Theodore's angry face showed a hint of fear!

For almost twenty years, he'd fought countless battles in Jakarda City and had a crew of skilled fighters.

But Rex, with such incredibly insane combat skills, was just hard to believe.

On top of that, Theodore felt humiliated!

In all these years, he'd never been so embarrassed and defeated as he was today!

It was worse than eating dirt!

He couldn't stand it!

He glared at Ryder, pointing with a shaky finger. "If you’ve got the guts, just wait! Give me twenty minutes! Tonight, I'm gonna kill you!"

With that, Theodore quickly pulled out his phone and made a call. "Drop whatever you're doing and bring everyone to the biggest bar in Jakarda City! Yeah! Everyone, and bring weapons! Tonight, I'm gonna kill a few people!"

He angrily hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, and stared at Ryder. "If you’ve got the guts, don’t leave!"

Ryder glanced at his phone, sat back on the sofa, and smiled faintly. "Alright, I'll wait a bit longer. After all, you're destined to lose tonight!"

Ryder's actions left Lily's relatives totally confused!

On one hand, they were shocked by Rex's combat skills, and on the other, they were terrified of pissing off Theodore even more!

Dragging this out was definitely gonna cause big trouble!

So, these relatives all wanted to distance themselves from Ryder. "Ryder, you must have a death wish! This is your mess, don’t drag us into it!"

"Exactly! We've always respected Theodore, no intention of crossing him!"

"Theodore, should I help you up first? Don’t worry, we'll make sure Ryder doesn’t slip away!"

"Ryder is so arrogant and clueless. We won't let him get away with this!"

Seeing her relatives' attitudes, Lily's eyes turned red with anger. "At a time like this, you're still targeting Ryder? Have you ever thought about what to do if Ryder can fix this?"

Susan and Philip firmly said, "What are you dreaming about? He's just a manager at a construction company with no connections or money in Jakarda City. How can he fix this?"

"In my opinion, you're just being foolish! Anyway, choose whatever you want! You'll regret it in the end! And we all saw what happened earlier; it was Ryder and his guy who bullied and provoked Theodore first, not the other way around!"

Even Betty sighed and said, "Lily! Listen to me, break up with Ryder quickly! It's for your own good. Being with someone who likes to court death will only drag you down!"

Everyone's words left Lily feeling deeply disappointed once again!

She always thought that her family and relatives, though not perfect, had always been somewhat harmonious!

But now, the varying comments from them only served to deepen Lily's disappointment even more.

She had nothing more to say, nor could she persuade them either.

Just as the tension in the room was at its peak, the door swung open!

A middle-aged man in a suit, wearing glasses, and decked out in brand-name items walked in!

When he saw the mess in the room, his forehead veins bulged, and he scolded, "Adam, what's going on here? I asked you to come and resolve the issue, and this is how you resolved it?"

Hearing this, Adam's face changed slightly, and he walked over to answer seriously, "Mr. Collins, I'm sorry. This is all my fault!"

The man in glasses in front of Adam was none other but the general manager of this bar—Larry Collins!

Larry cursed, "I gave you this task, and you couldn't even complete it, and now Theodore is involved. Get out of here, I'll deal with you later!"

After scolding Adam, Larry quickly ran over to Theodore, smiling apologetically. "Theodore! Please have a seat. I'm really sorry I'm late! My apologies!"

Theodore glanced at Larry, his eyes flickering slightly.

Larry used to work for Josh in Houston, and after Josh invested in this bar in Jakarda City, Larry became the general manager here!

For the first few years, he was diligent, doing whatever Josh asked!

But in the past two years, as Josh got busier with business in Houston and rarely paid attention to Jakarda City, Larry, with no one to supervise him, gradually became bolder and more ambitious!

He embezzled funds, often gave freebies to make connections, and even bullied the bar staff using his position!

He was so arrogant and excessive, yet no one could stop him!

Theodore had long wanted to take over this bar, so several months ago, he secretly tempted Larry with various offers.

Larry quickly accepted his offer, stating that although the bar was Josh's on the surface, it wouldn't stop it from being under Theodore's control!

It was only a matter of time before Theodore took over this bar!

Theodore said to Larry in a slightly reproachful tone, "Larry! Your employee is quite ignorant. He knew that Ryder was opposing me, yet he still helped him, even mentioning Josh to scare me! How do you think we should go about solving this?"

"Theodore, don't worry, I've got it covered!" Larry's eyes turned cold, and he turned to scold Adam: "I've tolerated you for a long time! From now on, you're fired!"

Hearing this, Adam's face turned pale, and he protested, "Mr. Collins, I've always been very capable at my job, whether it's performance, attitude, or working hours, I'm number one. On what grounds..."

"Shut up!" Larry interrupted Adam. He arrogantly sneered, "I don't care what rank you are! In this bar, I have the authority to dismiss whoever I want to dismiss."
