Chapter 100 Not to Provoke Him
As the deputy captain of the SWAT team, Chris had some skills, and these security guards were no match for him.
But Chris didn't dare to fight back. Because the ones who ordered the beating were from the Martinez family.
The Martinez family was a member of the Five-State Business Alliance.
The Five-State Business Alliance was very united; offending one family meant offending the entire alliance, and he couldn't afford that.
The Lewis family members kept begging for mercy.
Francis walked over, stepped on Victor, and looked down at him. "I've heard this old guy likes to brag. Last time, he made a fake invitation to attend Free King's succession ceremony, and now he's here at Scenic Villas boasting again. Get lost, or next time I see you, I'll break your legs."
Molly spat on Oscar and scornfully said, "Do you think my family is poor? Do you look down on me? Now you're the one kneeling on the ground after being beaten."
"Enough, don't waste words on these losers." Francis pulled Molly away.
Although Molly was a bitch, she knew how to make people happy and serve them well.
Moreover, she wasn't Francis' wife, just his mistress.
The two left.
The Lewis family members got up from the ground and helped Victor up.
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Grandpa, I told you not to come, but you insisted. Now you've lost your dignity."
"It's all that bastard Larry's fault!"
"Chris, are you okay?"
Chris waved his hand slightly and said, "I'm fine."
"Chris, we can't let this go. Isn't Daniel the secretary to the general of the Neon City military district? Call him for help. These security guards have no right to beat us."
"Let's talk about it after we get back." Chris wasn't a fool.
He thought this small matter shouldn't disturb Daniel.
Besides, Chris wasn't a direct descendant of the Ortiz family, and Daniel wasn't his real uncle.
Victor, covered in footprints, looked very upset and angrily said, "Damn Larry, playing tricks on me. I won't let him off!"
Victor came with high hopes but left in disgrace.
This was truly shameful.
Victor had lost all the dignity he had earned in his life today!
At the Lewis family mansion, Stella grabbed Chris and pleaded, "Chris, Victor has been beaten like this. If we don't take revenge, our family won't be able to hold its head up in Sunset City. We don't care, but you are from the Ortiz family. The Ortiz family is a prestigious family in Neon City. If this gets out, it will be a joke."
"Chris, call your uncle Daniel. The Martinez family is nothing. In front of the general, they have to bow their heads. Your uncle Daniel is the general's secretary, the closest person to him." Oscar was also furious.
If it were someone else, Oscar would have endured it. But this was his ex-girlfriend. If this got out among his classmates, he would be ridiculed.
"Damn Larry." Victor sat on the sofa, his face livid with anger.
"Chris, you see, you're also a victim in this. The Ortiz family must help us," Harry also spoke up.
Chris originally didn't want to get involved and thought it would pass if he endured it.
However, he also didn't want to be disrespected in the Lewis family.
"I'll call." He took out his phone and walked to the door. "Daniel, it's me, Chris. Yes, it's me. I was beaten in Sunset City by people from the Martinez family. I don't know who they are, but one seems to be called Francis. What? Will you check? Okay."
Chris's uncle Daniel was indeed the secretary to a general in the Neon City military district.
He didn't expect Daniel to agree so readily.
After making the call, he walked back in confidently and assured, "I've already called him. Daniel is looking into Francis' details. This matter will be resolved soon."
Victor's gloomy face finally eased a bit. He looked at Chris and praised, "The Ortiz family is indeed capable."
"Victor, you're flattering me too much," Chris said proudly, "Let's keep it a low profile."
"Yes, low profile." Victor nodded.
Then he angrily said, "Call Larry immediately. I want to break his legs and kick him out of the family."
Harry immediately called Larry.
After dealing with Victor's matter, Larry was in a good mood and returned to Mortal Clinic, thinking about how to explain things to Chloe.
However, soon, Harry called.
He scolded Larry harshly and told him to come back immediately.
Larry was puzzled.
So, he went back to the Lewis family again.
As soon as he walked in, Victor's cane came smashing towards him.
Larry deftly dodged it. "Victor, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"
"You bastard," Victor said, his face gloomy with anger. It was because he believed Larry's words that he suffered the greatest humiliation of his life, being beaten by a few security guards.
If this got out, it would be more shameful than being thrown out by a general in the military district.
Oscar stood up, pointed at Larry's nose, and cursed, "You bastard, you just want to make the Lewis family a laughingstock, don't you?"
"Larry, from now on, you are no longer the son-in-law of the Lewis family."
"Ungrateful bastard, spending the Lewis family's money and bringing nothing but shame to us."
A group of people berated Larry, making him out to be worthless.
Meanwhile, Larry looked innocent.
Frowning, he asked, "Victor, what exactly happened?"
"You shameless scoundrel," Oscar said, slapping him.
Larry raised his head and easily blocked the slap, saying calmly, "Even if you want me dead, at least let me know the reason, right?"
Julia cursed, "It's because you were talking nonsense in front of Victor that he wanted to hold a birthday banquet at Imperial Residence. Luckily, we went to check the place in advance, but we weren't even allowed through the gate and got beaten up by the security guards."
Larry looked at them.
They all looked very disheveled.
Chris had a slap mark on his face.
Julia's dress was covered in footprints, and even her stockings were torn, likely during the beating.
However, Larry was puzzled.
He thought, 'The security guards at Scenic Villas are usually very polite; why would they resort to violence?'
With just a word from Victor, Chloe would definitely not divorce him, but this unexpected incident had now occurred.
Larry quietly walked out, took out his phone, and directly called the president of the Five-State Business Alliance, "It's me, Black Dragon. I permitted Victor to hold a birthday banquet at Imperial Residence, but why did the security guards at the gate beat them up? I need an explanation immediately."
The Five-State Business Alliance was the most formidable business force in the Five-State area, and Larry was directly calling the president of the alliance.
The president of the Five-State Business Alliance, Nathan Nelson of the Nelson family.
A truly significant figure, someone whose influence surpassed even some families in Aurora Citadel despite not being based there.
Nathan trembled when he received Larry's call and said, "Black Dragon, I'll investigate this immediately and give you an explanation right away."
Larry hung up.
Then he waited outside.
He didn't go back into the mansion.
Because the Lewis family members had been beaten, going in now would only result in more scolding.
Soon, Nathan called back, "Black Dragon, I've found out. It was a foolish guy from the Martinez family who offended Victor. I've already ordered him to personally come and apologize. Black Dragon, this was my oversight, I'm truly sorry."
Nathan kept apologizing.
He even kept slapping himself.
The slaps were so loud that one could feel the pain through the phone.
"I hope this hasn't ruined my plans. Otherwise, there's no need for the Five-State Business Alliance to exist anymore." Larry coldly hung up.
After hanging up, he smoked a cigarette at the door.
Then he went back inside.
As soon as he entered, the Lewis family members started cursing him.
They even began to drive him out.
Larry smiled and said, "Victor, this was indeed my mistake. But why didn't you call me before going to Scenic Villas? I had everything arranged, but you should have informed me before you went."
"Bastard, still bragging at this point. I'll kill you," Oscar said, picking up an ashtray and throwing it.
Larry dodged.
The ashtray shattered on the ground.
Victor, his face livid with anger, trembling all over, raised his cane to hit Larry while cursing, "You, get out of here. From now on, you are no longer the son-in-law of the Lewis family."
Larry quickly stood up and fled.
Victor was still angry for the moment, so it was best not to provoke him.
Larry decided to come back after Francis came to apologize.
By then, everything would be fine.
He escaped from the Lewis family mansion, and the Lewis family members locked the door.
About twenty minutes later, the director of the Five-State Business Alliance in Sunset City dragged Francis and Molly to the Lewis family mansion, accompanied by the dozen or so security guards who had previously beaten Victor and th others.
