NovelStartApparently, Nicholas was terrified and furious when the ruffian was complaining about Skylar. So, he
violently slapped the man in his face as he yelled, “Shut your damn mouth up!”
Nicholas’ expression turned pale and was trembling in fear when that happened.It was a far cry from
the calm and composed man he presented himself to be just moments ago.
It turned out that he was present during Dudley’s birthday five years ago, so he obviously knew just
how terrifying of a man Skylar was. He could not believe that the ruffian was bold enough to offend
Skylar. He was not pleased that the ruffian managed to drag him into the same mess with him.
“Mr. Wexler, why…” The ruffian asked while cradling his stinging cheek.
Obviously, Nicholas was in no mood to be bothered to deal with him. So, Nicholas nervously
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtapproached Skylar with a smile and said, “Mr… Mr. Stone, there must be some sort of
misunderstanding here, right?”
Nicholas gave Skylar a polite bow which shocked everyone present at the moment.
“What… What’s going on?”
“I can’t believe Mr, Wexler was treating Nathaniel’s son so politely.”
All of the protestors that were just moments ago worried for Nathaniel and Skylar were incredibly
shocked at the situation. The ruffians were also speechless by the situation as well.
Although Nicholas was new to the real estate industry, the properties he owned were worth billions and
still held quite the reputation in the city. This was exactly why the ruffians were so arrogant. However,
they were all baffled when Nicholas was being so polite to the son of one of the protestors.
“A misunderstanding?” Skylar glared at Nicholas. This made Nicholas worried as he nervously
apologized. “I… I’m really sorry, Mr… Mr. Stone…”
He decided to apologize to Skylar regardless of what really happened.
However, Skylar did not let him off the hook just because he was polite to him, so he questioned. “So,
is that man working for you?”
“I…”
Before Nicholas could finish his sentence, Skylar gave him a few tight slaps across his face.
Nicholas’ cheeks were instantly imprinted by Skylar’s palm print as he coughed out a puddle of blood.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that he had also spat out some teeth.
“He was bold enough to threaten my father’s life and yet here you are asking me if this was a

Skylar glared menacingly at Nicholas as he said that.
Hearing this made Nicholas even more nervous as his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.
Suddenly, Nicholas knelt down in front of Skylar and begged for mercy. “Please forgive me, Mr. Stone. I
didn’t know that your father is one of the property owners here! If I had known this sooner, I would’ve
hosted him tremendously well and won’t dare refuse any demands he wanted!”
“This…”
Nicholas’ reaction had once again shocked everyone present. They were all baffled as they stared at
Skylar.
They knew that Nicholas was an extremely wealthy man and his polite gesture toward Skylar was
enough to shock everyone. However, they were surprised when Nicholas was begging for his life after
he was slapped by Skylar. This made them wonder if Skylar was hiding some terrifying secrets about
his identity.
