Soon, Augustus and his men arrived. The former walked through the door and exclaimed, "Tony! Who dares to despise Gutwrencher Sect? Tell me!"
Immediately, Tony hurriedly dashed toward him. "My lord, these two men made me call you..."
With that, Augustus cast his gaze in the direction Tony was pointing. The color drained from his face when he saw Flaxseed and Jared.
"It's me. I despise Gutwrencher Sect. What are you going to do to me?" Flaxseed walked toward Augustus.
Upon seeing his arrogant reaction, Tony bellowed, "How dare you speak like this to my lord? You just wait—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Augustus interrupted him and slapped him hard across his face! "A**hole! How dare you disrespect Mr. Flaxseed?"
After giving Tony a piece of his mind, he immediately put on a wry smile and apologized, "Mr. Flaxseed, I didn't know you were here. I'm sorry that my subordinate disrespected you."
Tony's jaw dropped when he saw how courteous Augustus was when the latter was talking to Flaxseed!
All the guests, too, were stunned by the turn of events. Turning their attention to Flaxseed, they were in absolute awe of him.
Knowing everyone had started looking up to him, Flaxseed basked in his moment of glory.
Jared walked over and said, "It's not a matter of respect. Your subordinate wanted to take over the Simmons family. I don't care if that's your or your subordinate's idea, but listen carefully—the Simmonses and I go way back. If anything happens to them, you'll be the first person I'll look for."
"I know nothing about this, Mr. Chance. But don't worry, no one would lay a finger on the Simmonses as long as Gutwrencher Sect is around!" Augustus promised right away.
"Get your men out of here!" Jared waved a dismissive hand.
Augustus instantly instructed his subordinates to retreat.
After spending some time sprucing the place up, the wedding continued.
After the incident, Jared and Flaxseed stole the limelight from the newlyweds at the reception.
All the guests kept going over to their table to toast them in order to get in their good books.
