"Who is this uncle with a bit of a ruffian aura? He's so handsome when he's standing in front of that lady! "
"He's Mr. Mak from Mamy's. Don't you know? It's a restaurant that's super popular recently. Mr. Mak's chicken is delicious! "
"Mr. Mak is as tough as ever. However, he won't be chased out because of this, right?"
The guests' eyes lit up when they saw Meg stepping forward. Many of them were amused. Many of them couldn't stand the domineering behavior of Harvey and Roy. Everyone was discussing softly, and some ladies even started to form the Cutest Height Difference couple with glowing eyes.
"How annoying. Wouldn't it be better to just kill this kind of scum?" Barbara looked at Meg's back view, and a tinge of frustration flashed across her eyes. She thought for a while, and slowly put down her right hand that was already open.
"Who are you?! How dare you talk to me like that? " Harvey looked at Meg with a dark gaze. As the vice-president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce and the head of the Dodges Family, he had a very high status in Chaos City's business world. When had he ever been mocked in public?
Meg smiled, and said, "I'm Meg. Chaos City respects freedom of speech. Do I need courage to talk to you? Don't tell me you can raise that fat arm of yours and jump up to hit me on the chin? "
The banquet hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at the short and fat Harvey, and the banquet hall burst into laughter. Many people turned their heads away, and tried hard to control their expressions.
A stern-looking uncle took out a silk handkerchief, and helped the lady opposite him wipe her clothes apologetically. He said, "I've been through strict training. No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh. Unless … I can't help it."
Harvey's face turned green and red. The laughter around him felt like a loud slap to his face. He had never experienced such humiliation before. He clenched his fists, and coldly said to Meg, "Kid, you're playing with fire."
"Playing with fire?" Meg smiled. "My daughter is very good at playing with fire. If you ask sincerely, I don't mind letting her play with you for a while."
"You …" Harvey pointed at Meg, his hand trembling uncontrollably. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He looked at Meg and sneered. "Do you know how long she will be in prison for the crime of malicious assault?"
"Malicious attack?" Meg's face was full of doubt. He looked around at the surrounding guests and asked, "May I ask everyone, what happened just now, wasn't it a weak, pitiful, and innocent little loli who was facing a tall and fat young master who was trying to molest her and had no choice but to raise her small fists and resist?"
Meg looked at Harvey again and asked seriously, "Do you know how many years he can spend in prison for molesting an underage girl? How many strong men did he have to pick up soap for? As a harboring criminal, don't you have to stay in prison for a period of time? "
The guests' expressions were a little strange. Although it seemed to be the case at first, and it was indeed Roy who touched Barbara first and tried to take advantage of her.
But … this girl looked weak, but that was obviously an iron fist! How was she shy? KO 'ing a strong man with a punch. Among the guests present, there were not many who could do that.
However, Meg's analysis was reasonable, and he successfully took the moral and legal high ground. The words of picking up soap were even more wonderful.
Sure enough, Harvey and his father's faces changed color. They were used to being arrogant, and they were not used to meeting someone who was so tough.
"Father, I don't want to go to prison … I don't want to pick up soap …" Roy grabbed Harvey's sleeve. His face was pale, and he was a little scared.
Harvey calmed down a little. He looked at Meg, and said, "You … You're talking nonsense! How could my son do anything to her in public? But, everyone saw her hitting someone. Don't think that you can distort the truth just because you have a sharp tongue. Many people present can testify for us. You can't run away today! "
"Run? Why should we run? If you think that you can change the truth by relying on numbers, then you're overestimating your influence and the Gray Temple's ability to do things, right? " Meg said with a smile. If they were talking about connections, he was really not afraid. After all, he still had a hidden position in the city lord's castle, and was considered one of them in the system.
Harvey looked at Meg, who was unmoved by force or persuasion, and was so angry that his face turned red.
However, those few guards were frightened by Meg and did not dare to go forward. They had the mentality of watching from afar, and did not have the slightest intention to help Harvey.
"Boss is so awesome. He didn't do anything, and he already scared them." Yabemiya looked at Meg with glowing eyes. In comparison, he felt that his mouth was fake.
Elizabeth was also looking at Mag with approval in her eyes. Even though she was a little surprised by Mag's eloquence, which was a stark contrast to his usual friendly demeanor, it was still a good trait to be tough on outsiders.
"Tsk, seems like I don't even have to do anything." Camilla swirled the red wine in her wine glass at the railing on the second floor, and chuckled. From this angle, Meg was rather good-looking.
"Wrong? What's wrong with me? Why would I think that men are good-looking!? Men are all pigs! They're not good things! "Camilla shook her head quickly to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a sinister voice sounded.
The guests parted to create a path for Cyril, who was wearing a bright red robe and a green hat, to make his way in. He took a glance at Mag, and his brows furrowed slightly. What was this guy doing here?
Then, his gaze fell on Roy, who was still sitting on the ground with half his face swollen, and Harvey, who was blushing. His expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Vice-President Harvey, what happened to you?"
"This guy, he's an adult, and he even framed us, saying that he wants to lock us up in Bastie Prison," Harvey complained while pointing at Meg.
"Great, I finally got the chance!" Cyril's eyes lit up, and he turned around to look at Meg and Barbara, who was standing behind him. He frowned, and said, "You're not from the Aden Chamber of Commerce at all. How did you sneak in? Could it be that you're a thief who sneaked in to freeload? Now, you even dare to maliciously hurt Roy and slander the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce. Guards, tie the two of them up and send them directly to the Gray Temple! "
After all, Cyril was the president's son, and had always been seen as the successor of Family Moreton. After hearing his order, the guards who were watching at the side could no longer sit still, and surrounded Meg and Barbara. Some of them even took out ropes.
"Wait!" At this moment, a crisp voice sounded from outside the crowd.
At the same time, the voice of the emcee at the door sounded. "Director Gloria has arrived —"
