The Protector III

563

Richard let out a cry in pain after some time.

Everyone gasped in shock, their eyes widened in bewilderment.

A youngster from the Black family had slapped the quasi royal household head from South Hampton!

How dare he?!

Talking back to someone his station was already disrespectful enough, but a slap across the face was a whole new level of disgrace.

At the same time, Meredith and Robert were about to faint at the sight.

Is Russell freaking crazy? He really hit Richard!

Russell had always been the most capable and obedient child among the youngsters of the Black family.

However, he defied everyone's expectations of him today. It was as if he had gone cuckoo.

Why did he do everything that Levi asked him to do?

The Caesars were equally surprised at Russell's bold strike.

What a lunatic!

They were under the impression that Robert wouldn't even dream of berating Richard, even if he were given the permission to do so.

Let alone slapping Richard across the face!

But Russell had done the unthinkable.

Richard cupped his slightly swollen cheeks and gave Russell an incredulous look.

The pain emanating from his cheeks made him grimace.

"Looks like we have a ballsy one here, eh?" Richard was oddly calm.

But everyone knew he was livid with fury.

Richard Caesar was someone who would not let anyone who enraged him off the hook.

In fact, he would fight till the point of life and death.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be an end to it.

But how could a powerless family like the Blacks fight against the Caesar family?

It would be like an egg dashing itself against a rock.

Hence, Russell knew things had gone to the point of no return.

It was either the Blacks or the Caesars who would survive.

He felt extremely apprehensive as well.

When he was trying to come up with an answer, Levi did him a favor by replying, "Yes, he is. So what?"

"You..."

Richard was about to speak when Levi interjected him.

"You asked for Russell to be slapped, and he slapped you back. It was fair and square," Levi grinned.

Timothy, who was used to act with impunity, held himself back from striking Levi because he did not know Levi's true identity. Otherwise, he would have slapped Levi across the face right then and there.

He was afraid of Richard knowing the incident from the night before as well.

Thinking that Levi was ridiculous, Richard burst into a derisive laugh, "Fair and square, you say?!"

He looked over at Meredith and Robert, "You guys have done such a good job in educating your younger generation! Hahaha!"

It was clear as day that Richard was mocking them.

Then he added, "We are all players of the survival of the fittest game. Weaker players like you are doomed to be trampled all over! Robert Black, I came all the way from South Hampton to Quebec for this marriage proposal, observing every formality required to honor your family, and this is how you repay me?"

Richard then proclaimed, "From now on, I am cutting off all ties between the Blacks and the Caesars! I will stop at nothing till only one of us remains standing!"

The Blacks were in an uproar at the proclamation.

All of them shuddered at hearing it.

Are the Caesars and the Blacks fighting to the death?

Doomsday for the Black family is approaching.

The Blacks paled at the proclamation.

We are all going to die just because of these two idiots!

Turning over to Levi, Richard sneered and said, "Young man, did you know you are the culprit for the wipeout of the Black family?"

The Caesars burst into a laugh.

The Blacks are so naïve to think that they could fight against us.
