Clarence asked himself that question in his heart.

“Who is he?”

Clarence’s voice pierced the dead silence.

Jeremy’s face was pale from fright. He went to tug on Clarence’s sleeve. “Clarence, don’t speak. This is Mr. Cooke, and he can crush us by just lifting a finger.”

Clarence frowned. “Are you from Beth City?”

Mr. Cooke had noticed Clarence. He should not have been concerned about Clarence, considering his status.

However, Clarence had caught his attention when he asked who he was. “Kid, you’re the culprit here, right? You only have a small clinic, yet you’ve caused such a huge stir.”

Clarence said coldly, “What does this have to do with you?”

The air froze.

Mr. Cooke narrowed his eyes. “What did you say?”

Then, he roared.

“Kneel!”

“Mr. Cooke…” The faces of Jackson and the gang changed. “Clarence doesn’t know who you are, so…”

“Shut up!”

Mr. Cooke scoffed. “Did I tell you to speak? If you say one more word, your family is finished.”

Jackson felt humiliated. He was angry, clenching his fists tightly.

However, when he thought about the Cookes’ terrifying power, he shut his mouth and did not dare to say a single word.

Mr. Cooke looked at Clarence in rumination. “I asked you to kneel. Did you not hear me? Are you deaf? Or perhaps you’re mute?”

Clarence laughed. “Who do you think you are? Am I supposed to kneel just because you tell me to?”

Everyone’s jaws dropped, and their eyes widened. They were looking at Clarence like they had seen a monster.

Jeremy had a look of despair on his face. ‘We’re done for…’

Julian, Jackson, and Chip’s faces were as gray as ash.

Selina had a pleased smile on her lips. She was looking at Clarence like he was already dead.

Peony and the gang clenched their fists. They were very anxious, and they all cursed Clarence in their hearts. They wanted to cut all their ties to Clarence. What if the Murphys got involved even though it was Clarence who had offended Mr. Cooke?

Miranda looked at Clarence’s back, worry flashing across her eyes.

The corners of Mr. Cooke’s eyes twitched. “What did you say? Who do I think I am? Say it again!”

Clarence shook his head with a smile. Then, he lifted his hand without warning and slapped Mr. Cooke.

Slap! “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me?”

Slap! “Who do you think you are? You’re asking me to kneel?”

Slap! “Do you think you’re all that just because you have a high status and power? I’m slapping you right now!”

Slap! “This is about the people’s grievances with Thirteen Hall, so what does it have to do with you?”

Slap! “Do you think I won’t dare to slap you for spewing nonsense here?”

Slap!

Slap!

…

Clarence slapped Mr. Cooke more than a dozen times in one go. He slapped Mr. Cooke from both left to right and right to left. As he was too fast, the others did not even have time to register what was going on.

Everyone was dazed!

They were all looking at Clarence, their jaws agape. Their eyes were widened and their eyeballs were about to roll out of their sockets.

They had never seen such a shocking sight before. It was even more shocking than an earthquake!

It was Mr. Cooke from Beth City, and Clarence was slapping him in front of everyone. He was doing it repeatedly as well.

Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats and almost escaped from their mouths.

“Ahh!”

Mr. Cooke’s face was extremely swollen now. He roared at Clarence. “You son of a b*tch, how dare you slap me! Don’t you know who I f*cking am…”

Slap!

Clarence slapped him again. “Who are you? Tell me! Come on, tell me. Tell me right now.” Clarence was not scared at all.

Since he had come to Clarence’s place to cause trouble, should Clarence be scared of who Mr. Cooke was?

Should he only start resisting when the enemy placed a knife to his throat?

“Kid, you’re dead meat! I’ll kill you!” Mr. Cooke clutched his face and backed away.

“Kill him! Kill him!”

More than ten bodyguards in black rushed out of Humanity Hall, charging at Clarence.

Cold light blazed in Clarence’s eyes, and he was about to take action.

“Stop!”

Suddenly, a frigid voice was heard. It was not loud, but it sounded dignified.

It was a woman’s voice.

Mr. Cooke’s bodyguards stopped in their tracks. They looked in the direction of the voices hesitantly. Then, they saw Leah walking toward them, coming out of the crowd. She looked at Mr. Cooke and said, “Cooke, how dare you kill my savior? Are you going to kill me as well?”

Mr. Cooke’s body shook as he looked at Leah in astonishment. “Master Sanders, why are you here?”

Selina’s pupils contracted. She looked at Leah in disbelief, like she had just seen a ghost.

‘Why is she here? Also, what did Leah say? Clarence is her savior? What a joke!’

“Master Sanders?”

Julian, Jackson, and Chip quivered.

In this great divine land, only a man could be addressed as ‘Master’.

There were not many women who were addressed as ‘Master’, not to mention, her last name was Sanders. Was she one of the Sanders family? Why had she snuck into Mediterranean City?

Mr. Cooke was in disbelief. He looked as if someone was holding him by the neck. “Master Sanders, what did you say? He’s your savior?”

Leah smiled gently. “Why? Do you think I’m lying to you?”

“No.”

Mr. Cooke lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at Leah.

Everyone in Beth City knew that this old woman was very powerful. Her power boggled the mind. Even Mr. Cooke’s grandfather would not dare to offend Leah.

This old woman’s husband was dead, and her son was also dead. She had already lost her hope, so she dared to do anything she wanted. Hence, no one dared to cross her.

Mr. Cooke was too weak to fight Leah head-on.

“If that’s the case, we’ll let this matter go.

“Okay.” Mr. Cooke lowered his head in humiliation.

Since Leah was here, he had to let Clarence go. However, this would not be the end.

They still had a lot of time in the future. He would one day get his revenge for what he suffered through today, and he would then inflict what he received today twofold.

Leah looked at Selina casually. “I don’t want to see any slanderous posts about Thirteen Hall online. If I do, you know what’ll happen.”

Selina was discontented, but she could only nod. “I understand, Master Sanders.”

Leah chuckled and looked at Clarence. “I heard that this is all over Bob Lawson’s condition, right? Bob was my friend. We had a friendship twenty years ago. After that, he went abroad to do business. After many years, he became the first millionaire in Maple Country.

“However, I didn’t think he’d be so pitiful in his later years. I’ve heard others say that you’re very skillful, so if you can cure Bob, could you help him for my sake?”

Leah was smiling amiably. She was speaking to Clarence like she was discussing the matter with him.

She was not forcing Clarence, she was only asking a favor for her old friend.

Clarence smiled. “I never said I wouldn’t treat him. I told Selina as long as she gives me ten billion, I’ll help.”

Selina shook her head in bitterness. “Clarence, I admit defeat.. I’ll give you the money.”
