The Hero

Chapter 155 Stop Egomu There

Thorin's insolent rejection makes Luca's mimicry change.

Luca's father always looked down on the "gang" Thorin was proud of and proud of. His parents always considered them below his standards. And then there is Javier, who has sacked Luca's father because Mr. Pangani is tall and mighty far below Javier's pedigree!

Now, under a hierarchy like this, Thorin sneered at Javier as if he was his superior?! How did this guy go crazy?

At this rate, he might as well strip himself of his own before wandering the seedy streets to match his level of madness!

Luca opens his mouth, ready to shoot down Thorin, but Javier raises his hand and stops him.

The lack of opposition from Luca made Thorin even bolder, and his rant became even more unimpeded. “Listen, beautiful. A beautiful lover like you should make herself known in the entertainment industry, dear. You deserve to be in the spotlight, showered with millions of compliments! You know, I myself have invested in some rising stars before - and I tell you, these women are all new, nobody at the time, okay? There's no one. I hired some famous directors, attracted some talented scriptwriters, and bing-bing-boom, they are now famous! Famous like never before! Babes are pulling the rankings!

“Film I co-founded a while ago also became a national blockbuster hit. I'm sure you've heard it before. 'Don 'ell? Ring a bell? I'm telling you, that movie broke the box office by 11 million, okay? Do you know how much my investment is compared? 3 million! Do you believe that? From 3 million to 11-it's 8 million in return! After removing all the other fees and dirt, I still have a profit of about 4.8 million, okay? Oh, but get this! Lead actress? She won the Seirous Best Actress Award! That's an international award there, guys!

“At the time he returned, the boys were the ones who flocked to make him their leader! They have to queue!

“I also contacted this famous director-Roman Polaski, you know? That person is an international household name! The script is also top-notch, and now, I am looking for acting talent. I got the male lead, of course. Ever heard of Baelli Park? Mannean actors are famous there! All we need is a female lead. We have world-class directors and phenomenal scripts, but we have yet to find an actress with grace and a dignified aura to amaze and amaze. You're-you're perfect for the role. The dignified charm that you put out and your perfect beauty! You are an excellent candidate to consider!

“So, what are you saying? If you are interested, we can arrange a casting audition somewhere. If that role seems like a good fit for you, I will directly choose you as the female lead! Worried about your acting? Well, who cares about acting right now? All we need to sell is good looks and a sexy and beautiful body. Everything else does not mean jacksh*t!”

Luca squirms in his chair. Thorin was there as his friend, and now his friend humiliated him.

"Sorry, but you're talking to my wife here." Javier suddenly spoke up. "Don't you think you crossed the line by telling my wife all this right in front of me?"

“Missing limits? Cross a-ha!” Thorin grunts. “Hey, listen here, homie. Yeah, I'm gonna call you homie for Luca. You think this is over the line? You haven't seen anything. This is normal for me, man. This is the life I used to live—If you have money, you have the right to speak. You poor shit? Push it. That's what I've done, smartass. I have money, so I have to talk to him, and I speak frankly about whatever is in my head.

"you? You've got a jacksh*t, so close that trap and listen to the guy with the moolah. You don't like how it feels? Well, it sucks to be you!”

Javier's excitement bubbled up. "Wow. Are you always this great in conversation?”

Thorin's ego is swollen. “What, triggered by the way I speak again, snowflakes? Yeah, that's me. I'll even be transparent about my agenda for your sake: I'm definitely trying to snatch your wife from you right in front of your face. If you don't like it, show it your money, Slick. Let me see your bank account .. If you have one. Come on, humiliate me and keep your slipping manhood in front of your wife. Continue on!"

He truly felt the superiority he felt. Shit, this is a textbook example of hubris.

Javier giggling. "Yes God. You really like the smell of your own farts, don't you?”

Thorin sneers. “What should I do when my fart smells better than someone else's cologne without trying? No one can beat me anyway. Dear God, sometimes I feel very tired to win and be at the top.”

He's unbearable. A completely irresistible piece of dirt that had just begged someone to reset his face. However, before Javier could rise to the occasion, there were others on the move.

Luca grabbed Thorin's hair and banged his forehead against the table.

Bang out!

The porcelain dishes that were unfortunate enough to be around were smashed to pieces.

But Luca's not done yet. He picked up a bottle of wine and smacked it into the back of Thorin's head. A burst of red wine flowed down Thorin's tangled hair, a deep red color covering the blood flowing out from his new wounds.

As he was silenced for a while, Thorin's head was lifted off the table by his hair. Holding the jagged tip of the broken bottle nearby, Luca leaned over to Thorin and growled, growling, “You showed another ounce of disrespect to Javier again and I'll make you swallow this broken bottle whole. Want to bet?!”

Luca's face is wrinkled. He looked exactly like a scary, intimidating, and badass mafia at the same time.

Thorin slaps Luca's hand from him. He pressed the back of his head with his other hand before pulling it back so his eyes could see.

“Job. Luca Pangini, you jerk!” he growls. “You put your mother's hand on me on a secluded sucker, huh? Greatable. F*cking great! ”

He jumped to his feet, looked apoplectic, and turned away from them. He then left.

Luca watched her leave, his mouth half-open, as if forming a reply. But in the end, he said nothing.

He turned to Javier and raised his wine cup. “I'm so sorry for the embarrassment, Javier. He never had the best judgment. Here, this is my apology.”

He drank his wine at once.

Javier grinned, his eyes looking at Luca as if he was reading his mind. Luca began to feel a panic crawl over him.

“Good rescue, Luca. Exact time,” said Javier.

Luca felt a chill run down his spine.

He remembered what his father had told him at home. That he should risk his life for Javier— figuratively and literally. 'Your sacrifice will be reciprocated in a way you never imagined, son. As long as you don't die from that sacrifice, of course.'

However, instead of protecting Javier, Luca rushes to protect his friend. All that thunder is nothing but a pretense. His hidden motive is to save Thorin from an even worse punishment.

And Javier saw the motive.

What kind of retaliation would he suffer for this? Javier is the type of warlord who will make a father sacrifice his son in exchange for a good relationship. How would such a person react to the fact that his subordinates had stuck out his neck and engineered a ruse just to protect his friend?

Luca recalled how dissatisfied he was when his father told him that. When he asked his father what would happen if he were to disobey, his parents replied, 'If you ever get past that person ... Son, just end your life honorably before your family suffers its wrath.'

Luca laughed then, as it sounded like a hyperbolic joke. But his father had not joined him.

Luca Pangani won't laugh now either. He had been wise enough to know that the truth was no joke. And now, having passed Javier to protect his friend, Luca feels an unprecedented fear.

“See, Javier,”

Javier waved nonchalantly. "No-no. It's over now. No violations were committed,” he said. “We will replace our wasted red wine and move on. Of course, you still have to be punished for this, Luca. Your punishment is... pay for this food.”

To be honest, Javier was too rich to worry about the cost of dinner. He just wanted to calm Luca's fear. Although he really wanted to teach Thorin a painful lesson there, Luca flew out of the left court with a harsh punishment, bluffing, and a, but in the end it is not too painful to save his friend has been an eye-opening experience. For once, he had seen the other side of the past, the arrogant young man. Luca instinctively protects his own people and will use tricks to protect them.

Javier wasn't too impressed with Luca's performative tricks, but his loyalty to his friend? It deserves a compliment. And that's why he's willing to give the other cheek and let this imbroglio pass.

Javier's answer did calm Luca's biggest fear. He sighed in relief and replied, “Alright! Thank you, Javier. Dinner is on me!”

The previous fever returned to the room, along with the goodwill of the participants. It was as if the ordeal never existed at all.

Outside the restaurant, however, things were different. After getting into his yellow Lamborghini, Thorin is enraged. "F*cking child ab*tch!"

God knows if he's referring to Javier or Luca. He kept cursing and scolding himself to the fullest extent as he started the car and drove down the freeway towards the capital.

Now, that's his home territory. His seat of power.

If that remote bastard Javier dares to show up at Medb. Well, he'll take it as a very pleasant experience.
