Chapter 396: 396: Slapping Lisa Jones in the face!



“Hasn’t the Jones family publicly claimed that this award ceremony was specifically organized by the Martial Department for them?”

“Could it be that the Jones family was lying? This award ceremony was not held to honor the Jones family at all, they are falsely using the prestige!”

There was a buzzing of discussions among the crowd, and doubting gazes fell upon Lisa Jones.

However, given Lisa’s status, the crowd restrained from going too far.

Faced with the crowd’s doubts, Lisa’s face turned increasingly sour, as though a dark cloud loomed over it, refusing to dissipate.

She had never expected that she would suffer such a great humiliation in this small Sayon; it was an utter disgrace!

Who was she? The daughter of the third branch of the Jones Family of Capital City, forget about in Sayon, even in the bustling Capital City, she was someone who stood above countless others.

These damned natives of Sayon dared to mock her right in front of her face?

This was simply unforgivable!

With that thought, Lisa’s eyes widened in fury. She stared at the crowd and sternly rebuked: “All of you shut up! When did it become your place to comment on the Jones family’s affairs? Are you trying to make an enemy out of us?”

Ehm…

Following that outburst, the crowd prudently closed their mouths, not daring to say another word.

“Ants remain ants! Trash!” Lisa Jones contemptuously swept a glance over the crowd, then continued: “Think carefully before wagging your tongue, beware of bringing trouble upon yourselves without realizing it!”

A threat!

A blatant threat!

With those words, the crowd couldn’t help but feel infuriated, but due to Lisa’s status, they could only though they did not dare to speak up.

After berating the crowd, Lisa Jones turned her face to look at Jayden.

This time, there was no pretense of amiability, only an indifferent look on her face.

“Commander Jayden, I don’t know when our Jones Family offended you, but your attempt to humiliate me today in public is well noted. When the opportunity arises, the Jones Family of Capital City will make sure to seek an explanation from the Military Department,” Lisa Jones stated categorically.

Hearing her words, Jayden laughed dismissively: “That kind of talk will probably carry some weight if the head of your Jones Family was the one saying it, but you, you’re simply not qualified!”

“Jayden! You…” Lisa Jones was momentarily speechless, her face reddening with humiliation.

At this moment, Will Jones from the side interjected, “Commander Jayden, could there be a misunderstanding? Weren’t we invited here by the Military Department today? And now, you’re being difficult on every front…”

Will Jones trailed off, looking expectantly at Jayden.

“Yes, indeed, I did invite you here but in your point of view, does that seem like I’m being unreasonably difficult? Are you implying that I’m abusing my power?” Jayden sneeringly countered.

“I dare not, I dare not…” Faced with Jayden’s formidable presence, Will Jones involuntarily shivered and quickly apologized.

Looking at the cowering Will Jones, Jayden let out a cold huff, cursing, “You’re nothing more than a lapdog!”

Having said that, Jayden immediately turned around, and the instant he turned, the anger on his face vanished and was replaced by a beaming smile.

Next, as if he was a different person, Jayden respectfully approached White Mitchell.

“Captain…” Jayden was about to speak but suddenly recalled the instruction given by White Mitchell, he quickly corrected himself: “Mr. Mitchell, today’s events were due to my poor arrangements. I apologize for causing your discomfort.”

Mr. Mitchell?

And he’s using a term of respect!?

What the…?

Bam!

An anxious and terrified Will Jones watched Jayden, standing in front of White Mitchell, so respectful and deferential. His head was buzzing as though something had exploded within it.

What on earth was happening?

Why had Jayden, who stood so defiantly before him, suddenly changed his attitude?

More importantly, the man he was facing was White Mitchell, someone he had always looked down upon.

What was going on with the world? Why did it seem like everyone of importance ultimately sided with White Mitchell?

This was true for the three bosses of Sayon, Cooper in Capital City, and now even Commander Jayden, the grandest figure in the Military Department!

Was White Mitchell a magnet? Why was it that everyone was drawn to him, scrambling to curry favor?

With a ghastly expression, Will Jones felt an extreme pang of humiliation, as if he’d swallowed a dead rat.

It wasn’t just him. Even Lisa Jones, from the Jones Family of Capital City, couldn’t stay calm at this moment.

Jayden had just publicly humiliated her, and now he was narcissingly pleasing to White Mitchell.

Wasn’t this a clear slap in her face!?

At this moment, the rage in Lisa’s heart had reached a terrifying level.

Unable to endure any longer, she yelled at Jayden, “Jayden! What do you mean by this!? Are you purposely trying to annoy me!?

Even if I’ve offended you, you don’t need to please this useless loser to get back at me, do you?

Is this how your Military Department operates? Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!”

Upon hearing these words, Jayden’s complexion darkened. He turned around and snapped, “Shut up! Mr. Mitchell is an honored guest of our Military Department, not someone you can slander!

Men, throw these few out!

If they dare to resist, lock them up!”

You-

Lisa was utterly infuriated. If not for the fear of Jayden’s strength, she would have lost her temper and lashed out by now!

On the other hand, Will Jones, coming to his senses, looked cautiously at Jayden and spoke with some resentment, “Commander Jayden, could you be mistaken? This guy is just an adopted son in our family, with no real background at all.

You may have seen the commotion he caused in Sayon, but everyone there knows that he’s not behind any of it. He’s just a paper tiger.

Now that his wife has handed the Nezzi New City project back to our family, he’s nobody. Commander Jayden, please look clearly. Don’t let him confuse you.”

Slap!

Right after Will finished speaking, Jayden slapped him across the face without hesitation, “Shut up! If I hear another word against Mr. Mitchell from you, I’ll end you!”

This….

Will Jones, dumbstruck by Jayden’s slap, was left staggering and staring at Jayden.

At this moment, Jayden’s eyes emitted a sharp light as he addressed the crowd, “Everyone, now that things have come to this, I won’t beat around the bush. There are two reasons why the Military Department held this commendation ceremony.

One, there have been rumors recently that the Military Department eliminated the Weiden Family to please some so-called noble family from Capital City.

I have to make it clear today that we’ve never intended to associate with any noble families in Capital City, nor do we have the slightest regard for them.

Two…”

Jayden paused for a moment and walked respectfully toward White Mitchell, “This second reason is to commend Mr. White Mitchell!”
