Chapter 38 :Your perspective is too narrow.
"Do you want me to kneel and apologize?" Chasel Mills said calmly, looking at Clark Sims, who was writhing in pain.
Standing among the elite offspring, he regarded everyone around him as insignificant, exuding an air of superiority like a king surveying his domain.
Clark Sims, who had lived his entire life with a silver spoon in his mouth and had never even received a slap, was now overwhelmed by an intense wave of pain. He had never experienced such a severe blow before; at this moment, he was completely engulfed by his suffering, unable to perceive the sounds and movements around him.
Yet, Chasel Mills' calm voice still reached his ears with crystal clarity, causing Clark to shudder.
If he could make a choice now, Clark swore he would never have stepped forward again. No matter how much he loved Charlotte Walker, it could never compare to his love for himself.
Unfortunately, in this world, there was no such thing as a second chance!
Chasel Mills then lifted his gaze, surveying the elite crowd around him, and spoke again with a calm demeanor, "Do any of you want to step in and meddle further?"
At that moment, the elite offspring looked atChasel Mills as if they were staring at a devil. This was a man who dared to strike down the heir of the Shen family, completely disregarding the power dynamics and unconcerned about the consequences. A barefoot man had nothing to fear from those in shoes.
Faced with Chasel Mills' gaze, nearly all the elite members lowered their heads, unable to meet his eyes. They hurriedly scattered, eager to distance themselves from the tension in the air.
Fearing that he might be too close to Chasel Mills and fall victim to his schemes, just like Clark Sims had, Nora Mills prioritized her safety over trying to win favor with Charlotte Walker.Chasel Mills scanned the room and locked eyes with Nora. In her gaze, there was nothing but shock and panic.
Chasel Mills... how dare he? This was Clark Sims they were talking about! He was part of the Shen family, one of the most powerful families in Verdant City, alongside the Qin, Geng, and Yang families. He was even the heir to the Shen family's multi-billion dollar empire!
Chasel Mills had really gotten himself into deep trouble! Not only now, but even five years ago, when Chasel was riding high as the head of the North Qing Group he founded, he was still no match for the Shen family.
What could be done? Who could save him this time?Nora bit her soft pink lips tightly, as if the end of the world was approaching.
Chasel Mills nodded at Nora, signaling her to stay calm.
Meanwhile, Samir watched as Chasel Mills remained so composed, shaking his head in disbelief.
At that moment, he couldn't even find joy in Chasel Mills' misfortune. To him, Chasel was already a dead man walking.
With Chasel's personality, he simply couldn't survive in this society. He refused to bow to power, showed no respect, and dared to offend anyone. People like him had existed before, but without exception, their endings weretragically grim.
As he surveyed the room, the wealthy heirs and socialites shrank back in fear.
Finally, Chasel turned his gaze to Charlotte Walker, the only one who stood her ground, feigning calmness in front of him. He spoke evenly, "Charlotte Walker, are you satisfied?"You know my character, so you want to provoke me into offending Clark Sims.
Well, I'll give you what you want!
Not only do I dare to offend him, but I also dare to hit him, hurt him, and ruin him!
So what?
The Shen family means nothing to me.
"You really surprised me," Charlotte replied, taking a deep breath. She lowered her voice to a tone only they could hear. "But you've fallen into my trap, haven't you?"
"Five years in prison have changed you a lot. What surprises me the most isn't that you transformed from a bookish weakling into amartial arts expert, but that you've become so ruthless. That truly caught me off guard."
"However, in the face of power, all of this means nothing."
"No matter what, even if I don't go after you, the Shen family will never let you off the hook."
At these words, Chasel Mills shook his head and chuckled softly. "Charlotte Walker, oh Charlotte Walker, you're still so full of yourself!"
"I've told you before, the power and the big shots you admire are nothing compared to what I possess. Even your pride in your beauty and figure holds no appeal for me.""Besides, all those so-called elite kids you've enchanted—who dares to stand up for you now?"
"Right now, the only thing I find somewhat impressive about you is your brain; it's quite clever, I'll give you that."
"Unfortunately, your vision is too narrow."
"All you see is Verdant City, and at most, you've only glanced at Riverdale. How could you possibly grasp the vastness of the world?"
Charlotte Walker's expression froze for a moment. Then, as if feeling a mix of embarrassment and anger, she shot back, "Sure, the world is vast, and there are countless things beyond my reach. But what makes youthink you have the right to speak to me like this? You're going against me and have offended the Shen family. Do you really think you can keep going for much longer? No matter how big the world is, you won't be able to touch it."
"You still don't understand what I mean," Chasel Mills replied, shaking his head. "To me, the Shen family is nothing."
"You don't need to be nervous. Today, I won't lay a finger on you. I'm here just to deliver a gift."
Chasel Mills said casually, "Emmett Walker must have relayed my previous words to you. What I could give you back then, I can take back now.""You won't be able to touch the Qing Shui Mountain City project."
"But don't worry, this is just the beginning."
"You can use any means at your disposal. I'm looking forward to your counterattack. I hope your tactics won't disappoint me too much."
"Alright, that's enough talk."
"Until next time!"
With that, Chasel Mills turned away, no longer interested in the captivating expression on Charlotte Walker's face.
He was about to leave the venue when the manager of the Shen Hotel, having received a report, rushed in with over ten security guards."Stop right there!"
"How dare you attack Mr. Sims in public and then try to escape?"
These guards had no idea that just moments before, Chasel Mills had effortlessly sent six or seven security personnel flying, leaving them injured on the ground.
Now, fueled by anger, they charged at Chasel Mills, surrounding him.
They looked fierce and ready for a fight!
"Get lost!"
However, the only response they received was a calm single word from Chasel Mills.He didn't slow down.
Instead, he walked steadily and evenly toward the exit of the venue.
But then, something shocking happened.
The crowd barely saw how Chasel Mills made his move.
Yet, as each security guard, armed with rubber batons and stun guns, lunged at him, they were all sent flying backward in an instant.
Suddenly, a wave of wailing echoed throughout the entire conference hall once again.
