Chapter 357 Calling My Bluff
Now that Simon was kneeling in front of Donald, being utterly humiliated by the latter, how would they explain such a bizarre turn of events?
Donald stared at Simon, who was still kneeling on the floor, and went over to him, saying, “Raise your head.”
Simon did as he was told.
His face had turned as pale as a sheet, and beads of sweat clung to his forehead.
“Can I have this fish?” Donald asked.
Simon nodded profusely to him. “S-Sure you can! I’ll get someone to cook it for you!”
“How many more expensive and rare fish are there in Grand Myer Hotel?” Donald queried.
Simon froze. “There’s more than a dozen of them.”
“I’d like to have all of them. Can I?”
When he heard Donald’s request, Simon’s body shuddered, and he felt goosebumps all over him. What kind of fetish does this man have?
Despite what he had in mind, he merely nodded. “Yes, of course.”
With that, Simon bellowed, “Slaughter all the expensive and rare fish we have in the hotel and cook all of them right away!”
Everyone in the hall was utterly dumbfounded.
Beatrice was also in shock at that moment. This Donald Campbell seems to be quite a mystery to me!
“Slap yourself now,” Donald ordered calmly.
Hearing that, Simon did as told. He did not even dare to ask how many times he was supposed to slap himself as he smacked his face continuously and ruthlessly.
After dozens of slaps, Simon’s face was red and swollen. The corner of his mouth was bleeding as well. Even though his eyes were filled with humiliation and disgrace, Simon did not dare to speak up for himself.
“All right. That’ll do,” Donald uttered.
Simon eventually stopped, forcing an ugly and pathetic smile as he stared at Donald eagerly.
“Get lost.”
Relief washed over Simon as he got up and fled the room immediately.
Once he was out of the hall, Simon leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
Everyone in the hall turned to look at Donald, trying to figure out what had just happened.
Beatrice asked, “What exactly is going on here?”
Seeing that Beatrice had a decent personality, Donald replied seriously, “Tristan is actually my subordinate.”
If Donald had kept his identity a secret, everyone would still find him mysterious.
However, since he came clean about his true status, the others thought he was bluffing instead.
It was because Tristan was no ordinary man.
Before he went to West Epea, he was an extremely influential figure in the underground world in the country.
The most incredible thing Tristan had done was when a wealthy heir from the nearby island state entered Pollerton with his cruise ship, throwing his weight around and humiliating Zayne and the others with his arrogant attitude, Tristan had destroyed the wealthy heir’s cruise ship, which was worth over two billion.
The people of Pollerton were not only shocked by this incident, but they also learned how frightening and powerful Tristan was.
Yet, Donald had just claimed he knew Tristan.
Everyone thought he was joking around.
“Be serious!” Beatrice glared at Donald, rendering the latter speechless.
Why won’t they believe me? I’m only telling the truth here!
Therefore, he could only say to them, “Fine. I was just going to record Simon’s words and actions and then give them to Lana so she can send them to Tristan instead.”
As he spoke, Donald pretended to wave the phone in his hand.
“Tristan is that kind of person who couldn’t tolerate anyone who defied him. Everything Simon did was against Tristan’s management regulations, so he wanted to punish Simon,” Donald explained.
Everyone immediately understood what was going on.
Smiling, Adrian shook his head. “You scared me! I thought you were really so powerful! It turns out that you’re just pretending to be one.”
Mason, too, heaved a sigh of relief. “So that’s how it is. I was still wondering what exactly happened.”
“Turns out he’s still a loser.” Linda rolled her eyes in disdain.
Meanwhile, Kevin said in a sarcastic tone, “You’re quite a bluffer, aren’t you? Telling us you’re acquainted with Tristan. What a joke indeed!”
Skylar chimed in, “That’s right! How shameless you are!”
As he witnessed the true nature of those people before him, Donald found himself at a loss for words.
When I told the truth, none of you believed me. And when I lied, you mocked and ridiculed me! Humans are so complicated.
It was not long before a waiter wheeled a food cart into the room, loaded with piping hot, expensive, and rare ornamental fish.
Everyone stared at the dozens of fish on the food cart, feeling speechless and stunned.
