Chapter 236: Killing One To Warn Others

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Of course, Lucas saw the nervous reaction of the receptionist.

Perry’s heart skipped a beat too, and he immediately understood that things definitely weren’t as simple as what the receptionist had told him.

The other people, who were surrounding them and watching the situation, immediately seemed interested because the receptionist’s account was completely different from that of William. Their claims were worlds apart, so one of them had to be lying!

But was the liar this filthy and smelly beggar-like person or the fashionably dressed receptionist who sat at the front desk of the Ocean Bathhouse all day?

Everyone watched the scene with interest. Every now and then, some of them would urge Perry to retrieve the surveillance camera footage to let everyone see what exactly happened.

As soon as Perry saw how nervous the receptionist was, he already knew that his staff must have made a mistake. Otherwise, how could they have asked him to produce the surveillance footage? If William and the others had done something wrong, wouldn’t the surveillance footage expose them?

But at this moment, the surrounding customers all started clamoring and asking for the surveillance footage to be shown, which really put Perry in a spot. It seemed that he had to let Lucas intervene and settle the problem.

Perry walked to Lucas and said softly, “Rascal, you injured one of my security guards today and even broke the door of our bathhouse. As long as you get lost immediately, I won’t hold it against you for what happened today and can pretend that nothing has happened. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this place unscathed. Consider it clearly!”

He clearly wanted Lucas to take the initiative to drop the matter and let it go, but he acted haughtily like a snob. He was commanding Lucas and even threatened him.

Lucas wasn’t the type to let himself be threatened. Besides, his father-in-law and sister-in-law had just been insulted. If he chose to pretend that nothing happened and just leave, what would that make him?

Lucas sneered. “Your staff made a mistake, but you framed my father-in-law. Now that everyone is asking for the surveillance footage to be shown, you’re trying to threaten me because you’re afraid that the truth will be to your disadvantage. What right do you have to do that?”

Lucas’s voice was extremely loud. He was deliberately trying to make the watching customers get a clear idea of what was going on.

When Perry saw Lucas say that out loud, showing how unrelenting he was, his face became extremely sullen as he glared daggers at Lucas.

Indeed, the surrounding people also understood by now that Perry was actually threatening Lucas. Clearly, there was something wrong with this matter. They couldn’t help but start discussing among themselves.

“Oh my god, I thought it was their fault and that they’re deliberately trying to extort this bathhouse. But it seems that Mr. Perry doesn’t dare to show us the surveillance footage. He must be lying then!”

“Yeah, he refuses to admit to his mistake or apologize. He even went on to threaten others. He’s being such a snob.”

“Oh gosh, I thought that the Ocean Bathhouse provides excellent service, but it turns out they’re so two-faced. If I get dirty and come here someday, will they treat me like a beggar and chase me out?”

“Yeah, that receptionist was so full of confidence and gusto that I thought they really got bullied, but it turns out they were the bullies. I’ve really had enough! It seems that I have to go back and talk to my friends about this. From now on, we’d better avoid this place, lest we get framed by them. It’d be hard to explain then!”

...

There was a sudden twist in the situation, and the reputation of the Ocean Bathhouse was greatly tarnished.

Perry was naturally glum. But since the matter had already happened, and the situation had escalated out of his control after so many mistakes, he naturally wouldn’t admit to them!

No matter what, he had to put the blame on William and the others and then chase them out!

“Hmph, you people deliberately came here to twist the facts and slander the Ocean Bathhouse, yet you still have the audacity to cause a stir here. You’re really arrogant!

“Security, break this man’s limbs and throw him out. Strip those two women naked and throw them out too! I’m going to use this as a warning to everyone. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will end up the same.”

Perry’s words were extremely ruthless, and his methods were vicious. Having their limbs broken and stripped naked would be immense suffering and humiliation!

But this also caused the surrounding people not to dare to discuss the matter loudly. If they messed up and got into trouble too, what would happen?

Many customers here were ordinary people here to enjoy a bath and massage. They always thought that this place was just a simple bathhouse, but they never expected the manager to be so vicious and ruthless. There was definitely a complicated reason behind it.

Many of them were terrified, and they made up their minds that they would never patronize this bathhouse again!

After hearing Perry’s orders, the security guards immediately gripped their electric batons tightly and surrounded them.

There was a cold, murderous look in Lucas’s eyes.

Lucas didn’t take the threat of having his limbs broken seriously at all.

But Perry actually had the audacity to say that he wanted to strip Cheyenne and Charlotte naked and then throw them out to humiliate them. That was something that Lucas absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

As long as he was here, no one would be able to do anything to them.

When the battle was about to begin, someone behind the surrounding crowd suddenly yelled in a clear voice, “Stop! I’ll fight anyone who dares to lay a finger on Mr. Gray!”

The person who spoke quickly pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and walked over. He was bespectacled, slender, and tall, looking extremely harmless.

But those who knew him were aware that he was Joe Daniels, one of the few people in Orange County not to be provoked.

When Perry saw Joe, he immediately shuddered and asked softly, “Joe, why are you here? Is the service upstairs unsatisfactory?”

Joe pushed Perry away and walked toward Lucas. He bent forward and asked, “Mr. Gray, these dimwits didn’t hurt you just now, did they?”

When he saw how respectful Joe was to Lucas, Perry inhaled sharply!
