Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 657: Insisting on Compensation…

The two dolts stood frozen in place, pointing at Huang Shi, unable to utter a word, because they couldn’t even begin to imagine who Huang Shi was. This...this was just too awesome, far beyond the level of their own awesomeness. How could Huang Shi be so formidable? It was utterly inconceivable!

Both Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu were so shocked by what they saw that they didn’t know how to express their astonishment. That audacious local thug, the one their two idiot fathers had had no way of dealing with, was acting like a mouse before a cat at the sight of Huang Shi. How...how could anyone believe that what was happening before their eyes was real? Huang Shi was the Crown Prince of the Huang Group, wasn’t he? So why would these hooligans be terrified of him like this? It was truly beyond belief!

"Do you understand why I bumped into you just now? Why I asked for twenty million from you?" Huang Shi glanced at Huang Dalong, whose cheeks were swollen red, and asked indifferently. Huang Dalong had slapped his own face to this extent; he really asked for it today. Out of all people, he had to mess with the Boss’s two dopey fathers-in-law; he must be completely blind. Now that he was involved, he naturally had to settle this matter for the Boss, otherwise he would be failing miserably as an underling.

"This..." Faced with Huang Shi’s question, Huang Dalong was baffled. Yeah, why did Huang Shi suddenly bump into him, causing such a ruckus? There must have been a reason. What on earth did Huang Shi mean by all this? Huang Dalong simply couldn’t figure out what Huang Shi was getting at.

All of a sudden, Huang Dalong’s eyes fell upon the two beauties flanking the nouveau riche and he remembered that they had gone to fetch someone. They had come together with Huang Shi; didn’t that mean that Huang Shi was the person they found? So that meant those two nouveaux riches and the beauties, who had lunch with Huang Shi, had an unusual relationship with him. If that were so, didn’t it indicate that Huang Shi came specifically to stand up for those two nouveaux riches?

Fuck me sideways, wasn’t that exactly the case? In his wildest dreams, he never imagined the two nouveaux riches had anything to do with Huang Shi. If he had known earlier, he would have never tried to extort those two, no matter what. Goddamn, he was practically digging his own grave!

With this realization, Huang Dalong suddenly saw the light. No wonder Huang Shi had bumped into him out of the blue and demanded payment; it was clearly to defend those two nouveaux riches. He lamented that he hadn’t considered Huang Shi’s identity earlier, thinking the person causing him trouble was courting death, failing to see that it was indeed Huang Shi. Now it turned out that he was the one troubling himself. Since Huang Shi had put it that way, if he didn’t understand how to act now, he really was a pig!

"Elders, I’m truly sorry for what happened just now. It was all my fault for scaring both of you, please forgive me. Also, please accept this card. Although the amount inside is not much, only a few million, I insist that you take it as an apology for my ignorance and for not recognizing a prominent figure!"

Having figured out what had happened, Huang Dalong immediately rushed over to the still dumbfounded Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian, bowed deeply, then slapped himself fiercely across the face before promptly offering Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian a sincere apology. Without a second thought, he took out his bank card and forcibly placed it into Mao Dawang’s hands, making sure he uttered not a single curse word at that moment. Saying anything else would surely anger Huang Shi, and he did not want a repeat of their previous ordeal.

In Huang Dalong’s view, Huang Shi had bumped into him and asked for twenty million simply as a pretext to protect the two nouveaux riches. The twenty million was a figure meant to show him they shouldn’t be extorted. Caught in anger, he had been blind to this, but if he failed to find a satisfactory resolution now in the current circumstances, he was truly doomed.

The events of the day clearly showed that Huang Shi was stepping in for the two old men, so he decided to immediately offer an apology to the nouveaux riches and, what’s more, to compensate the two old men financially. Only by doing that could he nullify the impact of the earlier incident and satisfy Huang Shi, ensuring he wouldn’t get angry and securing his own safety. With these thoughts, Huang Dalong’s tearful and sincere apology to Mao Dawang gained urgency.

"Please, you must forgive me. It was all our fault today. We had too much to drink and offended you. I beg you to forgive us. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to hit us..."

Mao Dawang, seeing Huang Dalong’s demeanor, became even more bewildered. This...this was too incredible. What exactly was going on? In the blink of an eye, not only was there no more talk of compensation from him, but there was also an apology and a few million yuan in compensation to him instead. The difference before and after Huang Shi’s arrival was too drastic!

"No more talk of us paying compensation? I vomited on you just now," Mao Dawang said, still stunned, thinking that today’s events clearly showed the fault was his. He had vomited on Huang Dalong, and now Huang Dalong was the one coming over to apologize and offer compensation in the millions. Huang Shi’s influence was astonishing!

"What are you saying? How could we possibly ask you for compensation? Our behavior was entirely at fault earlier; it was a minor issue. Instead, our attitude caused you such a fright. We realize our mistake now. Are you saying you can’t forgive us? If not, I’ll keep slapping my face to make amends, as long as it calms you."

Upon hearing Mao Dawang’s words, Huang Dalong nearly burst into tears, thinking, how could these two old nouveaux riches not let it go after just a few harsh words? He had done everything he could, and they were still unyielding. Huang Shi would definitely be angry if this continued, and if he got angry again, Huang Dalong genuinely didn’t know what to do. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Huang Dalong, and he continued to plead with the two nouveaux riches to forgive him, slapping his face even harder to show his sincerity.

"Gentlemen, are you hurt? Maybe we should accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."

"We’re truly sorry for what happened earlier, please forgive us."

Huang Pi and Qingpi had been stunned for a moment, but once they saw the Boss rush over to the sides of the nouveau riche, they realized why Huang Shi had set his sights on them. It all made sense now, these wealthy newcomers were Huang Shi’s guests, and how could they have dared treat his guests like that? It was an affront to Huang Shi himself - they wouldn’t have dared do such a thing even if they had a hundred guts! It was a direct challenge to Huang Shi’s authority.

The two men glanced at each other and hurried over to Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian to plead for mercy. Their attitude was incredibly deferential, begging the nouveaus not to pursue the matter any further. If the Boss was already behaving like this, then what were they, mere minions of the Boss, worth? Considering this, they quickly helped Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian, fearing that something might go wrong with the elders who had been drinking, reasoning that if anything else were to happen to them now, they might as well jump into the sea.

"Dawang, let’s end the matter here for today, what do you say?" Ye Xiangqian, watching from the side, also felt uncomfortable with how things were progressing. The trouble had initially been his and Mao Dawang’s fault, after all. They drank too much and failed to control themselves, accidentally spitting on Huang Dalong. They had never expected such a turnaround after Huang Shi arrived. But seeing these thugs looking so pathetic now, he thought it best to let it go, and more importantly, Ye Xiangqian didn’t want to waste any more time there.

"Right, Dad, let’s just leave it at that. It’s not a good look to be here like this. Let’s go back and rest," Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu also felt it wasn’t appropriate to stay there. Despite those thugs bullying their fathers just before, the thugs had already been dealt with. There was no point in dwelling on the issue. Plus, both their dads had had too much to drink and should rest instead of wasting time here.

"I wasn’t planning on making a fuss. You’re right, girls, it’s all good. Let’s go back and rest. As for this card, take it; I don’t need it. Money is no object to me," Mao Dawang agreed with Ye Xiangqian and his daughters, sensing that it wasn’t dignifying to remain there. Getting photographed in such a disheveled situation would damage their reputations. With that thought, he shoved the bank card into Huang Dalong’s hand, dismissing the money as inconsequential; after all, these local snakes had suffered enough, and it was time to move on.

"Ah, we really shouldn’t, sir! You must accept this money!"

"There’s no need, I have plenty of my own money."

"It’s just a small token for the fright, you must accept it, no matter what."

"Really, there’s no need."

"If you don’t accept it, it means you haven’t forgiven us."

"I’ve forgiven you, now take it back quickly so we can leave."

...

Mao Dawang and Huang Dalong were shoving the bank card back and forth between them. As far as Mao Dawang was concerned, the matter could be laid to rest there. He was the one who had spat on Huang Dalong, and it seemed hardly right for Huang Dalong to compensate him. To Mao Dawang, money truly meant nothing. Huang Dalong, on the other hand, was panicking at the refusal. He worried that Mao Dawang hadn’t truly forgiven him, so there was no way he could accept the money back. Not satisfying Huang Shi after all the effort made would mean all of it had been in vain. How could that be allowed!

Just then, Lin Feng finished his phone call and came out to find the private room empty. Never did he expect to walk out and see a crowd standing there, with Mao Dawang and a man pushing a bank card at each other. He was extremely puzzled—what on earth had happened?
