Shaun was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he had never gotten his hands dirty before. However, that was about to change that day.
Seeing how Nolan fiercely approached him, he jumped off the chair and grabbed a bottle from the table.
He pointed it at Nolan and said angrily, "I'm telling you not to force my hand! Otherwise, I'll never let you go!"
Nolan didn't stop walking, and he coldly said, "You have to keep your word. Since we had a bet, you have to admit defeat! Crawling around the hall naked can save you from being tortured later. It's the best option you have now."
Shaun furiously swung the bottle in his hand toward Nolan's head. "To hell with defeat!"
When the crowd saw what was happening, they all screamed in fear. However, what happened next left them stunned.
Nolan grabbed the incoming bottle and pulled it away from Shaun's hand. Then, he swiftly smashed it on Shaun's head. The bottle shattered instantly, and Shaun's forehead was full of blood.
Nolan said, "As I've said, don't force my hand or even mess with me! Since you like to get dirty, I guess I just have to clean you up."
After Nolan said that, he did something that shocked the crowd. They all covered their faces and didn't dare to watch what happened.
With the broken bottle in his hand, he shoved it into Shaun's mouth. Shaun's eyes turned red in an instant as he screamed miserably.
After hearing Archie's reminder, Lincoln finally remembered Nolan wasn't an average Joe like they previously thought. Instead, he was a mysterious person with unfathomable strength and power.
No one dared to say anything.
Nick was the only one who was frowning slightly. He thought that Nolan was going a little too far.
Blake stood in front of Nick and chuckled. "Mr. Hance, I know you don't give a damn about me at all, and you have people supporting you. However, I should advise you not to offend Mr. Greene. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. Understood?"
When Nick heard that, he was a little stunned. He scoffed and said, "If he dares to continue going this far, I won't endure it any longer. As the hotel's manager, I have to be responsible for its reputation."
