The Flower Snake's actions were utterly natural, betraying no hint of premeditation.
According to the original plan, once the red wine was spilled on Julius Reed's head, a conflict would inevitably ensue.
The Flower Snake's few underlings were right behind him, ready to take action should a conflict occur.
At that moment, Radley Ridge would step in as the mediator, demanding Julius Reed to bow and apologize.
The script was written perfectly, ensuring not only the humiliation of Julius Reed but also an opportunity for the Flower Snake to showcase his strength to Quella Radcliffe.
However, at the very instant the wine glass left his hand, Julius Reed, who appeared almost comatose from drunkenness, suddenly opened his eyes! He shifted slightly, his right hand shooting out!
The red wine glass, mere centimeters from his head, was now firmly grasped in Julius Reed's hand!
"Bro, sorry about that, the glass slipped," Flower Snake said with an awkward smile.
