Chapter 70 Now It's Time For You To Apologize To Me!
"What did you say?” Henry’s face turned pale and then flushed. He despised it when others used terms like "son-in-law" or "mooching off rich women" to describe him.
Ryder just used the same words to insult him. He even designated a new rich woman for him in front of Elena. Wasn't he trying to trick him?
"What exactly is this despicable and filthy woman worth? A sewer whore, perhaps?" Ryder rolled his eyes. "I spoke clearly, and yet you insist on making me repeat myself. Is it pleasurable for you to listen to these words? Or is it that you have a masochistic streak deep down?"
"You..." Henry was so furious that smoke seemed to come out of his ears. At this moment, he disregarded his usual elegant and cultured image in front of others and angrily cursed Ryder with a red face. "You lowlife from the bottom of society, I will kill you today!"
As he spoke, he attempted to throw a punch at Ryder.
However, Elena grabbed hold of him. "Henry, don't act on impulse!"
"How can I not act on impulse? This waste is just too arrogant! If I don't teach him a lesson, I won't be able to rid myself of this hatred!" Henry suppressed his anger forcefully.
"It's definite that this waste will be dealt with, but personally getting involved would elevate him far too much!" Elena glanced at Ryder, coldly saying, "Didn't you bring a group of rude security guards this morning? Acting all high and mighty because of their numbers? Now, I'll show you what it truly means to have the numbers on one's side!"
After she finished speaking, she took out a stack of money from her Hermès handbag. It was approximately sixty thousand dollars.
Holding it above her head, she shouted loudly, "Listen up, everyone! I want to teach a lesson to a poor person. Anyone who helps me today will receive a reward of one thousand dollars in cash! First come, first served, no one will be turned away!"
The business was booming at Polka Bar, and there were various entertainment venues nearby, such as hotels, pool halls, and internet cafes.
Therefore, in the vicinity, there were many idle ne'er-do-wells!
A significant part of them hadn't eaten a proper meal for quite some time.
For them, one thousand dollars was a considerable temptation!
After all, if they went out to extort protection money from elementary school students, it would take at least a week to earn that much!
So, Elena's shout immediately attracted the attention of many people and gradually gathered them.
Among them, some were skeptical, wondering if someone had drunk too much and was shouting nonsense.
But when they approached and saw that Elena was the protagonist, they instantly believed! After all, Elena's reputation in the Polka Bar was still quite prominent.
When she was in high school, she spent her days here, smoking, drinking, fighting, and keeping boys. Relying on her family's wealth, she spent money like water, and no one dared to provoke her, making many poor people envious.
It was only rumored that after she graduated from college, Elena found a son-in-law and got married. This somewhat reduced her "glorious deeds.”
In the end, with Elena's fame, it wasn't likely that she was playing games with them.
Therefore, within a short time, more than fifty people gathered.
Some were smoking, and some were chewing gum, exuding a rebellious aura.
This group of people formed a circle at the entrance of Polka Bar, conveniently leaving Elena and the others in the front.
Elena and the others thoroughly enjoyed this feeling, squinting their eyes slightly and raising their heads. It was as if they were proclaiming something to Ryder.
"We rule this area and command all these heroes!”
Ryder's face remained impassive as he turned to George and whispered, "Are these thugs your men?"
George shook his head awkwardly and replied, "Mr. Clark, most of these guys are just troublemakers who dropped out of school after graduation and couldn't find jobs. They can't handle hardships, and while my subordinates may not be the best, they aren't so weak."
"You're right. If they were all like this, I might consider taking back the money I invested in the security company, haha!" Ryder chuckled.
George forced a wry smile.
Elena observed Ryder and George whispering to each other.
She crossed her arms and sneered, "Are you scared now? Trying to negotiate with your friend to run away? Let me tell you, it won't work! Do you see all these people I've gathered? Even if each of them spits at you, they can drown you!"
The thugs behind her shouted while waving their fists, "Drown you!"
At this moment, Scarlett was filled with excitement. Elena truly lived up to being the woman she admired the most. It was so magnificent and domineering! She even wanted to find an opportunity to hire these thugs to help her show off in the same way!
Allan, on the other hand, was exhilarated. In his opinion, even if George came over in the current situation, he would be frightened!
As for Ryder across from them, that worthless guy would definitely kneel in front of them in the next second and apologize!
However, half a minute passed.
Ryder's face remained calm and composed, as if he didn't regard these thugs at all.
After a long silence, Ryder asked Elena, "Do you really think that this money can buy them and they will wholeheartedly clean me up for you?"
"What else?" Elena, feeling pleased to the extreme, took out a cigarette.
Henry quickly offered a lighter and lit it for her. As someone who married into a wealthy family, he had long been accustomed to these minor details of life.
Elena enjoyed a drag of the cigarette, blew out smoke rings, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I know you're jealous! Jealous that people like us, who have money, can do whatever we want. As for poor people like you, just being able to survive is already the greatest grace! Do you understand?"
"Well said! You said it wonderfully!" Ryder clapped his hands and then said calmly, "Now that you're done with your nonsense, can we start with the apologies? I need to hurry home, so get a move on, one by one!"
His words immediately caused a stir.
Elena stared at Ryder with a dumbfounded expression and turned to her companions, asking, "Has this fool gone crazy? He actually wants us to apologize?"
Henry sighed and covered his forehead, expressing helplessness, "I've been alive for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a fool! No wonder he can get along with that stupid girl, Sarah. They're perfect for each other!"
Allan and Scarlett were laughing uncontrollably.
At this moment, this fool was still trying to act cool. It's hilarious!
Everyone laughed for a full minute, until their throats were a little hoarse, before finally stopping.
Elena flicked the extinguished cigarette butt onto the ground and stomped on it, laughing disdainfully. "If you can make me apologize and kneel down to eat this cigarette butt in front of everyone, then fine! But if you can't, I'll make sure you eat until you're full! How about that?"
"That's a great proposal!" Ryder's eyes lit up, and he patted George's shoulder beside him. "In that case, I'll trouble my friend here to be a witness!"
As he finished speaking, George took off his hat. Facing everyone, an intimidating aura emanated from him, like a beast breaking free from its cage.
