Both men, young and old, were taken aback.
“Who are you?” the young man yelled, feeling embarrassed
Ignoring the young man, the man spoke to the elderly directly, “You'd better watch this kid so that he doesn't offend people who are out of your league.”
After that, the man disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing as the man showed him no mercy at all, the young man was prompted to go after him and argue further but was immediately held back by the elderly. “Let's just go home, Sir.”
The old man didn't disregard the message conveyed by the man. Instead, he started giving careful thought to the identity of the couple they
just saw.
After racking his brains for a long while, an image of a man became increasingly vivid in the old man's mind, and his features started matching that of the man he just saw. At that moment, he was overcome by astonishment with his mouth agape.
That was the president of Norton Corporation, Larry Norton!
As a shiver crept down his spine, the old man quickly yanked the young man and walked away.
It's time to really discipline this kid. If he spouts out anything inappropriate again, the entire family might be done for!
It turned out that the man who just warned them was none other than the leader of Larry's bodyguards, Caspian.
As Larry's personal bodyguard, Caspian always kept him safe by following him around closely.
Especially since Larry and Joan were taking a stroll that day, he was even more meticulous and kept a close watch on their surroundings at all times, which was how he noticed what happened just then.
“That kid must be mad.”
Caspian felt that the young man was not in his right mind. Otherwise, why would he try to steal someone else's girlfriend?
Fortunately, Mr. Norton was in high spirits and didn't mind what he had done, or else that kid would have been dead meat.
After resolving the hiccup, Caspian continued to follow Larry and Joan from a distance, protecting them dutifully.
