Stronger Every Time I Die
Zac pondered. If Arthur won't let me off easy, I'll make sure he doesn't have it easy either! In the crowd, some people quickly started inquiring towards the door, while others began to condemn Arthur. After all, this was a private matter between two people, yet it took up their public resources. The crowd would have enjoyed the spectacle with great interest, as long as it didn't affect their interests! Amid the chaos, Arthur casually put away his phone. He glanced at those who were blaming him and those who had just tried to shoo him away at the door, quietly noting their faces. Arthur was not one to forgive and forget, especially after being wronged and reborn. He always believed in retaliating. Arthur said leisurely, "Don't worry, the chairman of Cloudia Corporation hasn't left." This statement shocked everyone! The chairman of Cloudia Corporation hadn't left? What did he mean? Did he mean the chairman was still at the banquet? But they hadn't noticed any imposing new faces. Zac seized the opportunity and scoffed, "How do you know the chairman of Cloudia Corporation hasn't left? Did you see him?" His tone was undisguised with scorn. Arthur went quiet, "I saw him." I saw myself. Zac almost laughed out loud. He replied, "Oh? Then tell us, where is he? We've all missed him, yet you saw him?" Xavier, who had been pretending to be out of the loop, also chimed in, "Are you going to say you know the chairman of Cloudia Corporation?" "Hahaha!" Xavier's remark triggered a burst of laughter from Zac and his group of followers. The onlookers couldn't help but roll their eyes at Arthur. After the surveillance video ended, two men in black had already let go of John and Zac. Now, Zac only wanted to vent his fury! John was also infuriated, seeing his child hurt by everyone, he felt like he had a thorn in his side! In his frustration, John regained his composure and said, seemingly concerned for Arthur, "Arthur, enough with the nonsense. You've already held us up, and if you don't leave now, you might scare off the chairman of Cloudia Corporation. I can't guarantee they won't kill you out of spite." The crowd muttered, "Killing someone would mean prison." But John's words made them itch to act. If he really scared away the chairman, they were eager to kill him. Together, they could easily handle a powerless Arthur. Seeing the crowd's angry eyes, John was satisfied. Anger is good! It would be best if they killed him in their rage! However, Arthur remained calm and said, "You don't even know the first or last name of the chairman of Cloudia Corporation, yet you mock me?" "We don't know, do you?" Zac immediately retorted. Then, as if he remembered something, a wicked smile appeared on his face, "You better not tell us you are the chairman of Cloudia Corporation!" This remark immediately caused uproarious laughter! Xavier went further, "Hahaha, if he really claims that, it'll knock my socks off!" Arthur raised an eyebrow, not hiding anything, and declared. "You're right, I am the chairman of Cloudia Corporation, Arthur!" As he spoke, Arthur straightened his back, standing tall among the crowd like a majestic pine, proud and unyielding. His demeanor exuded authority, as if he looked down on everyone. It was a ludicrous assertion—after all, he was just a young man who had barely come of age. Yet, somehow, the crowd found his presence remarkable! The onlookers couldn't help but remember Yoder's words. Arthur stood tall and unbothered, radiating a calm confidence. Having dealt with Zac's little tricks, next up was the matter with the Gray family and their keen interest in Gray Corporation. The people, momentarily stunned, burst into laughter led by Zac. "Haaha! Arthur, are you still half asleep? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zac mocked mercilessly. "Yeah! Arthur, are you so desperate for recognition that you've lost your mind? You actually dare to claim that? If you're really the chairman of Cloudia Corporation, then I must be the president of a country! You sure have a way with tall tales!" Xavier taunted, his eyes gleaming with blatant disdain, reminiscent of their past bullying. John struggled to hide his amusement, "Arthur, I know you're delusional and naive, but there are too many of us here to be entertained by your fantasies!"
