CHAPTER 336 I'M JUST SUPPRESSING THE FIRE, NOT EXTINGUISHING THE STOVE

Chapter 336 I'm Just Suppressing the Fire, Not Extinguishing the Stove

Lachlan's slap, although he had held back some of his strength, still made Penelope dizzy. On the side of her face were five large finger marks.

At that moment, everyone was stunned and confused! No one expected Lachlan to be so arrogant as to slap Penelope in the face.

Penelope sat on the ground, holding her face and slowly getting up. She looked shocked and stunned.

"You... how dare you hit me?" Her voice became high-pitched as she pointed at Lachlan and shouted.

As the granddaughter of a famous doctor and Jieyson University's campus belle, she had never been slapped before by anyone. Every man who saw her would try their best to please her. But today, this man in front of her actually slapped her in public?

Penelope glared at Lachlan with eyes that could kill if looks could do so; he would have been cut into pieces by now.

"Jerk! How dare you hit me!"

"Are you even a man for hitting a woman?"

"You're such an uncivilized scumbag for hitting a woman!"

Penelope gritted her teeth as tears filled up in anger and frustration in her eyes.

Maxwell and other rich second generations also looked surprised; they couldn't believe what just happened. The slap left them all dazed.

Lachlan sneered coldly, "Being civilized is only reserved for reasonable women! As for trash like you... you deserve nothing but a good smack across your face!"

"I've been restraining myself from doing this until now because I thought I could control my temper around people like you."

"But it seems like I was wrong."

From start to finish, Lachlan had no intention of stooping to her level. Regardless of what Penelope and her friends said about him being poor or making him take a taxi, it was all within Lachlan's tolerance.

While their actions carried a sense of disdain and contempt, it didn't amount to excessive humiliation.

However, when this girl took out a dog leash just now to humiliate him, that changed everything altogether!

He couldn't tolerate it anymore; he needed to teach this girl how humans should behave!

In Lachlan's mindset, there was never a concept of not hitting women. He had never considered himself a gentleman. Apart from facing his wife and child, he saw himself as a thug.

If someone provoked him, he'd strike back, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, treating everyone equally.

"Jerk! You're such an asshole!"

Penelope felt the fiery pain on her cheek from the slap, and the internal humiliation and grievance made her burst into tears. Pointing at Lachlan, she cursed through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with anger and a changed tone.

At this moment, Maxwell and the other rich kids, as well as the security guards, snapped out of their daze. They all glared at Lachlan with fury in their eyes.

"Damn it! You piece of crap actually dared to hit Penelope? I'll make sure you pay for it!"

"Hit him! Beat him to death! I'll cover for you if anything happens!"

Maxwell pointed at Lachlan and barked orders at the security guards.

"Yes! Kill him!"

"What the hell is wrong with this guy? How dare he hit Penelope?"

"He even hits women. Is he even a man?"

"Make sure he can't be a man anymore."

The other rich kids also shouted angrily, full of momentum as they joined forces with the security guards to surround Lachlan.

Lachlan looked at these people with disdain in his eyes. In the next second, he slapped them one by one.

Smack! Smack! Smack...

Clear slapping sounds rang out along with flying figures. Like swatting flies, Lachlan slapped away these rich kids and security guards one by one.

For a moment, onlookers were all shocked and stunned as they watched this scene unfold before them.

"Who is this guy? He's too arrogant!"

"Yeah, so damn fierce!"

"Isn't that Dr. Pearce's granddaughter who just got beaten up by him?"

"Oh my god! That handsome young man isn't Maxwell from the Chambers family? He was also slapped away?"

"The guy with blue hair is Mr. Robertson's son from Cycloration Industrial..."

"This person is too aggressive; how dare he slap these young ladies and masters like that?! He's done for today."

"Yeah! The Chambers family is one of four major families here; others have some power too. This guy has really stirred up trouble now."

"How did this guy come here today? He probably won't leave here alive."

People chattered excitedly about what had happened while looking at Lachlan; some gloated while others showed sympathy towards him.

Although Lachlan felt satisfied right now, in everyone else's eyes, he was doomed.

After hitting so many rich kids today, it seemed like his life would end here.

Harlow and Romeo watched from afar as they saw how wildly Lachlan beat up those rich kids and event staff members; their expressions were extremely complicated.

"This bastard still acts recklessly," Harlow gritted her teeth.

She didn't know why she hated seeing such an arrogant behavior displayed by someone else so much but watching Lachlan made her itch inside.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch her own face. Text © owned by .

After all, she had been slapped by Lachlan before.

Romeo snorted coldly, "This guy thinks he's still in Edoland? Today will be a good show! Nobody shows him mercy here in the Capital!"

In Edoland, Lachlan had made many connections and had some capital to flaunt. But this was the Capital, where Lachlan's reputation and connections from Edoland would not work. Did he think his strength alone could carry him through?

Being physically strong did not always guarantee success. Even if he was powerful, he couldn't beat a violent machine. If things escalated too much here in the Capital, local forces could use their disciplinary departments or military power to take down Lachlan.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a stern voice rang out.

A man dressed in traditional clothing with an elegant demeanor quickly walked out of the hall.

"Mr. Pearce!"

"It's Dr. Pearce who came out!"

"This is going to be interesting."

"I wonder how Mr. Pearce will react when he finds out his granddaughter was slapped?"

The crowd began discussing as they saw the man walk towards them. It was Altha, president of Kreanford Traditional Medicine Association!

Altha glared at Lachlan with anger and asked sternly, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble at this exchange meeting?"

Lachlan looked back at him calmly and asked, "Are you Dr. Pearce? You sent someone to pick me up. But you don't know me?"

Upon hearing this question from Lachlan, Altha hesitated for a moment before asking suspiciously, "Are you Dr. Willis?"

Lachlan nodded confidently, "That's me! Hehe..."

Altha's expression changed rapidly upon hearing these words; he glanced over at Penelope beside him then snorted coldly.

At that moment, Penelope covered half of her face while walking over crying pitifully. She was holding onto her grandfather's arm saying, "Grandpa! This is who you asked me to bring back! How can I bring such an uncivilized brute home?"

"He hit me!"

"Grandpa, please help me!" Her voice carried grievance mixed with resentment.
