Donald was Joseph's distant nephew, and the company only employed him to become the head of security
because Joseph was the one who brought him in.
It was understood that he would never disobey Joseph's
order.
"Damn you! How dare you lay a finger on my uncle!
You're dead meat! Fellas, smack this kid and beat the crap out of him! I'll take responsibility if he kicks the bucket today!" Donald shouted angrily. He took out the rubber baton he carried with him and took the lead to deliver a barrage of attacks on Leon.
The other security guards also pulled out their rubber batons and rushed violently toward Leon.
"Be careful!"
Lily was rattled by the sight of what happened.
It was because Leon wanted to help her that the conflict with Leon happened.
Now that the situation was out of control, she became
anxious and had no idea what to do.
Donald was once well-known as a hired thug, and he had no problem going against five or six people and coming out unscathed. He previously did time for beating a
person up so bad that they ended up crippled, and he spent two years in jail before Joseph got him out.
"How stupid can he be to offend Mister Conrad? Knowing Donald's violent tendencies, that kid will be severely injured by the end of this!"
The sound of repeated whacking resounded through the air as the rubber batons struck Leon's body like raindrops during a storm. Leon hugged his head and groaned in endless pain. He initially decided to just endure the pain for a while because he was the one who first laid his hand
on Joseph. Unfortunately, the strikes became increasingly vicious, for they aimed at his tender areas as well as his lower body. There seemed to be no doubt that they intended to cripple him.
As if being beaten up was not bad enough, they had every Leon could not bear to have that happen.
To that end, he stretched his hand in search of something to grab and immediately managed to grasp a rubber baton that one of the guards held. Then, he delivered a kick to the security guard's chest.
"Arrgh...
The kick sent him flying, and he let out a scream before crashing into the wall behind him and falling heavily onto the ground.
"Darn you! How dare you fight back! Oh, you're asking
for it!"
Donald started gritting his teeth with rage and raised the rubber baton to whack Leon's head.
He was prepared to use all his strength, and his uncle's. voice even urged him from behind, "Kill him! I'll bear the consequences if he dies!"
If that strike were to land on Leon, the least that would happen to him was a cracked skull!
"It's over…"
Lily's pretty face turned pale. She could not bear to see Leon's tragic end and closed her eyes in despair.
At that critical juncture, Leon raised his left arm to block the rubber baton, which nearly dislocated as a result.
Credit was due to Leon's physique because any ordinary person would have suffered a broken arm if they were to shield themselves from the attack. Failure to protect. oneself would result in a concussion at best, and death or
near-death at worst.
"Don't blame me for giving you an eye for an eye!"
Leon threw a right hook and landed a strong punch on Donald's cheek.
Two of Donald's bloody teeth flew out of his mouth. Before he could even react to what happened, Leon followed up with a thumping kick on his chest.
The impact was very strong, and Donald flew through the air like a line-broken kite. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood after landing on the ground, and it was clear that his injury was much more severe than Joseph's.
Joseph shouted viciously, "Why are you guys just standing there? Hit him. I already assured you I'll bear the consequences!"
The remaining four security guards flew into a rage and attacked even more ruthlessly. They raised their rubber batons high to strike the joints and tender areas on
Leon's body.
Their attacks came so quickly and Leon decided that he was better off ignoring the barrage rather than shielding against every single one. He attacked them back in a frenzy, dealing punches and kicks at random.
In less than ten seconds, the four security guards were defeated by Leon's hands and collapsed to the ground all
at once.
"How…"
Everyone, including Joseph and Lily, were dumbfounded.
They could never have dreamed that such a skinny twig like Leon could defeat Donald and five other capable security guards.
Furthermore, none of Donald's injuries seemed to be minor. There were fractures all over and he vomited
blood. He did not even have the strength to stand up and simply slumped on the ground.
On the other hand, Leon stood tall, as if none of the injuries earlier were a problem to him.
"You've got balls, Kid, but being good at fighting doesn't count for anything! Everything that you did, including injuring the company's security guards, is a gross violation of the company's rules and regulations! You are hereby fired! Now get the hell out of my face!" Joseph lambasted with a ferocious look on his face.
