However, Jack moved his body slightly to the side, easily dodging the attack before giving him a quick kick that directly hit the man's chest.
The man coughed up blood as his body lifted several meters off the ground before hitting the ground. He felt a sharp pain radiating from every inch of his body, as if every bone in his body was about to break.
"Really, it's really not me!" How could Neil dare to admit that it was himself. If he did, wouldn't that mean he claimed to be a vile and petty person?
If word got out about him hiring some thugs to snatch the item after losing the auction, it would make the Hugo family's reputation crumble without a doubt.
"So, you don't have the courage to admit something that you're brave enough to do? What kind of man are you?" Jack slapped the back of his hand again on the man's face.
This time, Jack put more power into it, so it didn't take long for the man's face to swell.
"You, if you dare to hit me again, I will tell my father and he will never let you go ..."
"Slap!"
"I-I'm the young master of the Hugo family ..."
"Slap!"
Whenever Neil tried to argue, Jack would slap him in the face, sounding louder and sharper than usual.
"Yes, it's me!" Neil was about to cry and if he survives in this state, he will be slapped to death by Jack.
However, he immediately added, "But I only hired them to beat you up. That's because when we met before, we had some conflicts and I've held that grudge ever since. I just want to teach you a lesson and have absolutely nothing.The intention to snatch that glowing pearl from you!"
"I can hardly believe half of the things you say!" Jack looked coldly at his swollen face, waved his hand, and said, "All right. You better show up less often in front of me in the future. Since you don't know how you should act as a human and like to lie, I'll teach you a good lesson on how to behave like a human!"
"You ..." Neil still wanted to impulsively abandon some threat because it was an ingrained habit. However, after being glared at by Jack, it frightened him so much that he turned around and ran away.
After the bodyguards realized the current situation, he immediately climbed up from the ground and fled with Neil.
"That idiot. How dare he hit Neil?" Michael frowned as he was also a young master to a second-rate noble family.However, the boy was so brave that he actually hit Neil in public without fear of the Hugo family's retaliation.
However, he immediately thought of something else. Could it be because of how strong the status of the woman was? Without a doubt, Jack must stand in the shadow of the woman's protection to do what he did before.
"This time, you're not too humble. The mix of big and small forces from Eastfield has witnessed what you've done!" Lana said to Jack in a gentle tone while looking at him.
"Huh, if I don't show ferocity, I'm afraid they'll bother me like flies!"
"In addition, didn't you give me some kind of cover earlier? Your previous appearance scared them!" Jack lowered his voice as he said that. It sounds so soft that most people will find it very difficult to hear it.
"Hey handsome, you can also leave me your number. I know you're called Jack, right? I heard it before. Hey, don't go. I'll find you and don't worry, I can double the price. If you think I'm fat, I can also lose weight!"
"I was beautiful then!" Sharon's voice could be heard from behind them. Even though he was fat, his voice was still quite sweet.
After the car left, Sharon lowered her head dejectedly and saw the excess fat in her stomach. She said, "I was really pretty back then. However, I can't control my mouth!"
Quickly during the day, news of Neil being slapped and a mysterious woman spending 500 million to buy glowing pearls spread across the city.
Chapter 170
"Good lord! That's too outrageous!"
When Ivan returned home that night, he excitedly said, "Grandfather, father, I heard a very shocking news this afternoon!"
"What news?" Old Master Taylor, who rarely came out of his house, asked curiously.
"I heard a veteran slap Young Master Neil several times over and over until his face was swollen. This is too crazy!"
"Gosh, they're not sure who the veteran is? Oh my God, his courage is so great! Hugo's family happened to be a second-rate noble family so wouldn't he disrespect the Hugo family for slapping Neil's family? face?"
While Ivan poured himself a glass of red wine, he spoke in a very excited tone, "This is the first time I have heard such a masculine man. He really is my idol!"
"A veteran alone brave enough to slap Neil in the face and disrespect the Hugo family?" Theodore was a little unsure. He said, "Is your information reliable?"
"I should have heard it from the construction merchant. He said the man was very strong because he almost made Neil cry just from being slapped."
After Ivan took a large mouthful of red wine from his glass, he put it down and spoke emotionally, "The most important thing is that there is a glowing pearl auctioned today. The pearl was not an ordinary pearl and was as big as a ping. - pong ball. Based on what specialists have discovered, not only can it help a person sleep just by putting it next to their bed, but it can even slow down one's metabolism until it basically lengthens one's lifespan a little!"
"Something mystical is there in this world?" After Old Master Taylor heard that, he felt extremely excited because such a treasure would be very tempting for an old man like him.
He will be 70 years old and his body is getting weaker by the day. If he really had a treasure that could extend his lifespan, he might actually live a year or two longer.
"Huh, if we figure this out sooner. If we know, we can go to the auction to bid on it. Then we can put it next to your grandfather's pillow. Isn't that fun!" Theodore looked at Ivan as he lamented.
Ivan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, it's not just us who want treasures like this. Other wealthy merchants, first and second-rate noble families, and even the Drake family wanted one too! the people from the auction house did not even bother to tell a third-rate noble family like us. They had only personally contacted first and second-rate noble families, including the Drake family!"
"It is uncertain how some wealthy merchants knew the auction since they appeared as well. However, they were only there to watch as they were unable to compete with that family!" Ivan continued.
"really? Since the Drake family went and targeted such a treasure, it was most likely that the treasure fell into their hands, right?" Theodore said after pondering for a moment.
