Chapter 32: Mr. Side Character
The old man entered the room without anyone noticing. He glanced at the cronies and pull a chair for him to sit.
" Pardon this old man for intruding, but this old man was pretty interested in the situation here."
Noticing the old man didn't give any regard toward them, like every 3rd rate villain character in every novel, the cronies scream at the old man dissatisfaction.
" Hey old man, don't you have anything better to do? Don't you know we are doing important things right here?" A crony said to the old man.
" Yeah, don't you know who you are messing with? Not including the others, even the humble me is the son of the maple-leaf police vice-head. Quickly scram and don't forget to beg for mercy." Another crony said.
The other cronies also didn't keep silent. They take this chance to humiliate the old man and lick Mr. Wang's shoes. Deliberately insult the old man while praising Mr. Wang on their side.
Anna couldn't bear how those men humiliate the fragile-looking old man in front of her. She was ready to take the old man out of the room, but Ray has stepped in first.
Ray looked toward the cronies with expectancy in his heart. He has read many novels about the main character face-slapping the villain. And now, the chance is right in his hand, how could he be not excited about this.
" Humph, Ignorant. You guys could only bark on no bites." Ray said to the cronies, full of disdain.
It was really gratifying to see the shocked face of the cronies. The face of the cronies was red full of anger right now, if looks could kill, then Ray would have died a thousand times already.
Here it comes…
" Fool!!!! This young master gives you the last chance. Kneel and beg for mercy, if not you would receive the consequence."
The cronies have long forgotten about Anna's thing. The old and young man in front of them has insulted their dignities. And for spoiled 2nd generation like them, their face cannot be insulted by such a commoner.
Ray ignored the man's remark and continued in his face-slapping mood.
" Hehe, you guys could only boast the glory of your parents or connection. Really pathetic that lion parents would have dog kids like you guys."
These remarks darken the cronies' faces, but Ray wasn't about to stop yet.
" Don't say you guys, even your most treasured Mr. Wang, in my eyes is nothing more than a dog."
This time, Ray attacked the silent Mr. Wang. He was really angry now. He has kept his mouth shut, and hold back to not insult the young and old man before him. And the young man still insults him without holding back.
" Kid, if you still wanted your mouth, kneel and beg mercy for an apology right now!!!" Mr. Wang said with a darkened face.
" Hehe, you could still say things like that? I wonder how you will start to beg for mercy after this." Ray smiled and glanced at the old man.
" Open your eyes clearly, don't you know who this benevolence old man is?"
Ray said with a smug on his face. Aina has said that the identity of the old man is pretty special. He is either a member of a hidden family or a top brass in the government.
Eh… it seems something is wrong with that statement. Never mind, Ray decides to ignore the statement's peculiarity and choose to look at Mr. Wang and the cronies full of smug.
" Hehe, why don't you guys start to kneel now?"
…
Mr. wang: "…"
The Cronies: "…"
Anna: "…"
The old man: "…"
*Silence*
…
" Eh why you guys didn't say anything?" Ray starts to notice the oddities of the situation.
The old man took a deep breath and started to move toward Ray, whispering something to him.
" Kid, I'm really happy with all your thought about me. But I'm not what you think, this old man was not a member of government nor influential person, how could those guys know about this old man and kneel to me."
" Ehhhhhhhh!!!!"
The old man's revelation petrified Ray. If the old man wasn't someone like he thought was, then wasn't this really a catastrophe for him.
WAIT!!!! the scenario is wrong, wasn't this was planned for me to face-slap those b**ches?? How could it didn't go as planned?
[ Um host, Aina must remind host that the host was reincarnated here as a side character or mob. Not as the main character…]
' …… '
" Well, young lads, you don't need to worry though. Even if this old man wasn't an influential figure, just one slap from this old man could end those guys' life. How about it? this old man still owes you a favor." The old man said to ray with a 'Leave it to me' face.
'…'
" No, thank you for your suggestion, old man. But I need to think of a better solution."
" Humph, up to you then. But just remember that this old man could instantly wipe them out without anyone knowing." The old man once again said while winking his eyes.
' ……'
Ray was really speechless at the old man. Wasn't this old man supposed to be a hidden expert? why did his personality was… a little bit eccentric?
On the other hand, Mr. Wang and his cronies looked at Ray with displeasure. At first, they were still wondering about the identity of the old man, however, with the change of Ray's expression and the old man whispering with him. They could conclude that all of this was just a farce.
" Young man, we'll give you another chance. Kneel for mercy and give that woman for Mr. Wang, then we will let you off this time."
The cronies' demand keeps getting worse. Now they wouldn't even bother their thirst for Anna and directly state they wanted Anna to be Mr. Wang's woman.
" Hehehe, woman, you should be proud that Mr. Wang has taken a liking for you. Being Mr. Wang woman might be your biggest achievement in life."
Those cronies' words send shivers toward Anna's spine. She looked towards Ray and felt that the situation has become helpless now.
Well for her, her two daughters are her best priority, if this could ensure her daughters' wellbeing, so let it be.
Her only regret was she has fallen for the boy in front of her. Sleeping with another man might make the boy disgusted and would have no other contact with her.
*Clapping sounds*
All of a sudden, a clapping sound filled the room.
A beautiful mature woman in cheongsam came into the room and everyone couldn't avert their attention from this beautiful woman.
" Hey, how long did you want to continue this farce. Before was an old man, and now this lady. Do you think we are stupid or what?"
One of the cronies shouts full of irritation to Ray. Once was enough, and now the boy wants to deceive them again, does he take him as a-
*SLAP*
" Hey, What the-"
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
*SLAP*
" Eno-"
*SLAP*
The crony was shocked at the slap. He glared full of murderous intention at the slapper, but when he noticed the one who slapped him was Mr. Wang, all his displeasure straight away gone into the sewer.
" Mr. Wang, what do you mean by-"
Before even the guy finishes his words, Mr. Wang has pulled him down for a kneel.
" Ms. Eliza, I'm sorry if this guy's word has offended you. This guy was still a novice and didn't know who he was talking with. I promised you that I will teach him well after this."
The calm and aloof Mr. Wang was now full of anxiety. Like the cronies, he too at first was dissatisfied with the continuity of the farce. But when he noticed the identity of the lady, he knows that they had fucked up.
" Hoo, it seems you know my identity, Honorable Mr. wang."
The words were calm and even feel like praising Mr. Wang, but he knows that the woman was unhappy with him and the words were full of sarcasm.
" Hehehe, how could I not know Ms. Eliza. Ms. Eliza is the owner of Maple-leaf's biggest trading corporation, and also holds a high position in the government. This humble subordinate was just trash compared to Ms. Eliza." Mr. Wang said with sweat falling from his forehead.
" Well, if you know me the situation would be simpler then. My little brother there is the head chef of this restaurant. He has cooked for me and I feel satisfied with his dish. If you guys said that his dish was trash, then was I, the one who was satisfied by trash is trash too??"
The words before were directed toward Mr. Wang and his cronies like a blade on their neck. They could only be sorry for their shameless act and quickly kneel on mercy.
" Satisfied, of course, we are satisfied. Our words before were just joking and we just hope that Ms. Eliza didn't take it to the heart." The cronies said while kneeling on the floor.
Ms. Eliza glance at them with disdain in her eyes. To her, those spineless men were really unworthy.
" Then, how about your words in taking this beautiful woman here as Honorable Mr. Wang's woman?"
" Of course they all were kidding!!"
This time, Mr. Wang also kneel with his cronies, hoping Ms. Eliza wouldn't take things too far.
On the side, Ray was looking at them full of amazement.
[ Well, this is how you face-slap someone, dear Mr. Side character.]
