Chapter 351 A Fatal Blow from James
He lifted his head, eyes all bloodshot, veins popping out of his neck. Just saying this one simple sentence felt harder than facing death for him.
The five rich dudes were totally baffled by Walter's words, each one staring at him like he’d grown a second head.
Especially Ivan and Keith, who had just seen Walter's burning hatred for James not too long ago. How could things flip so hard in less than two hours?
They exchanged looks, thinking they must be tripping. Otherwise, this whole scene was just too wild, like something out of a bad movie.
But James didn’t even flinch, like he hadn’t heard Walter at all, just kept strolling along like he owned the place.
Seeing James ignore him, Walter got super pissed. He’d already swallowed his pride, and James still wouldn’t give him the time of day. James ought to have a death wish.
He glared daggers at James’s back, fuming. No one had ever humiliated him like this before. James was the first.
The five rich dudes didn’t know what kind of dirt James had on Walter, but they were pretty impressed by James’s guts to ignore him. They also thought James was asking for it, knowing Walter’s temper, he might just snap and kill him.
Walter’s eyes were bloodshot. He was breathing so hard he had to gulp in air. He wanted to rush up and pound James into the ground, but he didn’t dare.
Thinking of Derek still lying in bed needing treatment, he had no choice but to suck it up. He sped up, caught up with James, and blocked his way.
"Wait, you wanna hit me?" James said with a mocking grin, seeing Walter’s angry face. Guys like Walter needed a good smackdown.
"It’s over, Walter’s definitely gonna lose it and hit him."
"Totally, look at Walter, he’s fuming."
"This is gonna be good."
The five rich kids started chatting, all thinking Walter was definitely gonna blow his top and hit James.
James wasn’t scared at all. His face stayed the same, still smirking at Walter, waiting to see if Walter had the guts to make a move.
"Dr. Smith, I’m sorry. Please come back with me and treat my grandpa."
Just when everyone thought Walter was gonna lose it and hit James, he did something even crazier. He bowed to James, tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing this, James actually started to respect him a bit. Looked like Walter really cared about Derek.
"Honestly, I’m not sure I can cure Derek, but seeing how sincere you are, I’ll give it a shot," James sighed, acting all reluctant.
Walter’s face froze hearing James’s words, staring at him hard, "What did you say? You’re not sure you can cure Derek?"
At this point, the bodyguard next to him coughed twice, signaling him to chill out.
He was about to blow up, taking deep breaths, feeling super pissed.
"What, you don’t want me to go?" James said with an infuriating smile.
Walter was fuming. Just looking at James's smug face made his blood boil.
But thanks to Derek's orders, he had to suck it up. He swore he’d never felt this humiliated in his life.
"Dr. Smith, I’m really sorry. Please come back with me. My grandpa’s in serious trouble." Walter forced the words out, the humiliation making his eyes well up with tears he couldn’t hold back.
James laughed, "Why are you crying? I didn’t say I wouldn’t help, I was just messing with you. Look how scared you are, poor guy. Come on. Cheer up. Chop-chop."
With that, James stepped forward, pinching Walter’s cheeks with a nasty grin, "That’s better, let’s roll." James chuckled and started walking ahead.
Walter, though, was seething. His body was shaking, ready to blow any second.
The five rich kids were totally floored. What just happened flipped their world upside down. Walter got pinched and humiliated by James and didn’t even fight back. The world had gone nuts.
Even the two bodyguards were struggling to process it. They’d been with Walter the longest and knew his temper inside out.
Walter turned around, glaring at the five rich kids, "If any of you blab about today, you know what I’m capable of."
Scared out of their wits by Walter’s beast-like glare, they quickly shook their heads, signaling they hadn’t seen a thing. Only then did Walter headed off to catch up with James.
On the way back, Walter sat next to James, not saying a word but boiling inside.
He thought he was hiding it well. But how could he hide it from James?
James didn’t care at all. He’d decided to treat Derek because of Edwin and Derek himself, not because of Walter. Even if Walter hadn’t come to apologize, he would’ve gone to treat Derek anyway.
Besides, Walter was a nobody to him. Five years ago, he could’ve toyed with such a small fry at will. Now, five years later, his strength had skyrocketed. Even without his family’s power, he could still teach Walter a lesson.
He was actually curious about how Walter would try to get back at him. So, when they arrived at their destination, just before getting out of the car, James suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’d already agreed with Dr. Wheeler. Even if you hadn’t come to apologize, I would’ve gone to treat Derek. Didn’t expect you to be so sincere, I’m kinda touched."
With that, he ignored Walter and got out of the car. After he left, Walter’s face froze, his mouth twitching violently. After a few seconds, he let out a thunderous roar, "James, I won’t let you get away with this. How dare you mess with me!" Walter roared.
He yelled and screamed in the car, punching the window in his rage, shattering it.
