Chapter 361
Suddenly, Jonathan’s gaze gradually turned malicious as he glared at
Emmanuel and shouted, “So, you refuse to heed my advice and prefer doing
this the hard way? If you don’t leave now, you’ll regret it!”
However, Emmanuel finally looked at Jonathan and chuckled. “I’m drinking
wine, and it’s a toast from the birthday princess! Come on, don’t make a fuss.
According to the cliches in TV dramas and novels, antagonists like you are
bound to have a bad ending!”
Jonathan’s face turned beet red in response. He, too, enjoyed reading novels,
but he always imagined himself as the protagonist. Now that Emmanuel had
pointed it out, he realized that he had been playing the role of the antagonist
all along. “Hmph, there’s a huge gap between reality and novels!” he retorted
coldly. “It seems you’re unwilling to show me respect!”
“Why should I show you respect?” Emmanuel laughed, adding, “I’m not part of
the upper echelons, and you haven’t paid me to show you respect!”
After hearing this sarcastic remark, Jonathan’s face turned red again, and he
immediately looked behind him.
Bam! A burly man in black followed his instructions and hurried over, landing
a large hand on Emmanuel’s shoulder hard. He intended to lift Emmanuel up,
but to his surprise, Emmanuel pressed down on his hand, rendering him
immobile.
“Why do you people insist on causing trouble? Especially you, Jonathan. You
provoke me for no reason, forcing me to beat you angrily. Isn’t this such a
petty demand? I’m 28 years old and rarely encounter such behavior!”
Emmanuel spoke honestly. He knew getting into fights could land him in jail,
so he avoided violence. However, after getting to know Mackenzie and
Claudette, his frequency of brawls skyrocketed! He eventually realized that
Mackenzie and Claudette, despite their beauty, were actually a
double–whammy in his life.
After hearing this, Jonathan laughed heartily and remarked, “Emmanuel,
have you been reading too many novels? I want to see you suffer! Toss him
out!”
The man who had grabbed Emmanuel’s shoulder earlier was Black Bear, the
undisputed judo king in Yeringham, and his specialty was body slam.
At this instant, Jonathan believed Black Bear could easily toss Emmanuel out
with a shoulder throw.
“Gah-” Even Black Bear’s patience was wearing thin, and he angrily yelled,
attempting to forcefully throw Emmanuel out. Crack! As he exerted force, the
sound of bones breaking reverberated throughout the room.
However, Emmanuel remained seated in a calm and composed way.

At the moment of impact, Black Bear suddenly felt a force pushing his wrist
down. So, he forcefully exerted more strength, only to realize that his wrist
had broken! “Ah! Argh!” he screamed, pricking the nerves of everyone
present.
Emmanuel had effortlessly broken someone’s wrist! Is he still human?
Then, he released his grip with mercy, and Black Bear stumbled back several
steps, clutching his broken hand. His face was filled with horror as he looked
at Emmanuel.
Jonathan, his face white with fear, backed away a few paces and stared at
Emmanuel. “No wonder you have been so arrogant. Your martial arts skills are
truly formidable!” During their previous encounter at the restaurant, he had
already sensed Emmanuel’s extraordinary skills, but he never imagined that
even the judo champion couldn’t match him!
In the meantime, Claudette sighed lightly and shook her head. “Listen, just
listen. Your words are so biased. Clearly, you barged in here to bully
Emmanuel, and when he retaliates, suddenly, he’s the arrogant one? How is
he the one bullying you people?”
Her righteous words instantly made Jonathan turn red with embarrassment.
Afterward, Emmanuel stood up and looked at the group of people standing
outside the door with a hint of resignation in his eyes. “Well, since you’ve all
called me arrogant, I guess I’ll have to act arrogant for once!” Otherwise,
wouldn’t that be unfair to me?
