"You're dreaming!" Ava exclaimed, stepping forward. "Even if we don't do business with you, we can't agree to your terms!"
"I'm talking to your boss. If you dare to interrupt me again, I promise to shut you up permanently." Peter said, his eyes narrowing.
"You..." Ava shouted again.
"Ava!" Harleen stopped her.
Taking a deep breath, Harleen's eyes showed determination. "I'm sorry, Mr Peter, I don't need to consider it anymore. We won't agree to your conditions. As for what measures you'll take, that's your business, feel free."
"Ms Knight..." Thelma Perkins hesitated upon hearing Harleen's decision. She was well aware of the severe consequences this would have on Ozin Tower. Without international top-tier brands, what would support Ozin Tower as the premier shopping center?
The faces of the other staff also changed slightly.
"No need to say more, my mind is made up." Harleen said firmly. She understood that the other party was not here to negotiate but to demand concessions. Constantly giving in would only lead to further demands.
"Have you thought this through?" Peter's expression turned cold. As the Marketing Director of Oshi Cosmetics and backed by the Gater family, he was used to being treated with respect and admiration wherever he went globally. He hadn't expected to face such resistance in a small place like Ozin.
"Ms Perkins, please inform the counter to remove all products from Oshi," Harleen didn't respond to him but turned to Thelma Perkins and said.
"Alright... alright," Thelma nodded slightly, though she knew the consequences of such an action would be severe, she had to follow her superior's orders.
"Very well, young lady. I can't wait to see what you..." Peter's anger surged, but he didn't finish his sentence.
But a loud slap resounded in the next second, and he was thrown to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone turned to look at Billy simultaneously, their faces filled with shock. After all, this was a member of the Gater family.
Thelma Perkins, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but twitch her lips. Ms Knight's husband was as formidable as ever.
"Good hit!" Ava called out again. "Mr Gardner, give him a good beating!"
"You dare to hit me?" Peter climbed to his feet, his eyes spitting fire, and pointed angrily at Billy.
Just then, two more slaps rang out, and Peter was thrown again, blood spraying from his mouth.
"Damn!" Finally, two burly men reacted and rushed towards Billy, both of them skilled in martial arts, with a Battle General-level cultivation.
Two muffled sounds echoed as the two men were also thrown back, their faces filled with horror. They were martial artists themselves and understood the level of strength they had encountered. They realized that Billy was at least at the Battle God late-stage.
"Who are you?" Richard Matthews stared at Billy and asked with fear. He was well aware of the capabilities of the two bodyguards, but they had been defeated so easily without even touching their opponent.
Likewise, Billy slapped him, just like Peter, sending him flying several meters away, blood gushing from his mouth.
"You collude with foreign influences, you'd better count your blessings." Billy said in a cold tone.
