The man gritted his teeth as his eyes darkened. He pointed his finger at Gabriel and yelled, "Don't try to be a hero here! You better get out of my sight! Or I'll have security drag you out!" His words dripped with threats. Gabriel huffed, replying dismissively. "Try if you can!" he challenged the man. The man lost his temper as he stepped forward and grabbed Gabriel by the collar of his shirt. The waitress watched the scene before her, she trembled, worry filling her eyes. With his jaw clenched, the man growled angrily. "I hate it when someone dares to interfere in my affairs! I won't let that person sleep in peace." Hearing the man's threat, instead of being frightened, Gabriel chuckled. "Oh my god, so scary! I can't imagine it," Gabriel taunted, and then he burst into laughter. Gabriel's dismissive attitude infuriated the man, who immediately threw a punch at Gabriel's face. Gabriel staggered backward and fell to the floor. The man swiftly came over to him.

Thais Lancaster was in the VIP room sipping his wine. His finger swiped across his phone screen through a dating app.He intently examined each photo of the ladies, hoping to find someone who captivated him.After scrolling for a while, he finally found someone who caught his eye. Just as he was about to swipe on this attractive lady, a call suddenly popped up on his phone screen."What the hell!" Thais grumbled, but a second later, his expression changed as he saw that the caller was the general manager of the company where he worked.He furrowed his eyebrows, wondering why the general manager would suddenly contact him at this hour. It was unusual for a general manager to contact him like this.He pondered for a few seconds before finally accepting the call. Setting down his wine glass, he spoke politely."Good evening, sir. What happened? It's unusual for you to call me at this hour," Thais asked.“Thais Lancester, I announce that from this moment on, you are no longer a manager at

Gabriel huffed, he was giving Thais an indifferent stare. "Well, I can't help you. I don't have the power to make someone lose their job. What happened to you was entirely your fault, and I was only trying to teach you to be a better person by pressuring you to apologize to that waitress."Thais's eyes widened in disbelief. Gabriel ignored him and walked out of the restaurant with the mayor and his daughter.Still frozen with resentment engulfing him, Thais's hands clenched tightly, and he felt like he wanted to vent his anger by punching something. But since he was in a restaurant, he had to control his temper; otherwise, he would just make his situation worse.Thais took a deep breath, though his anger still built up. He walked out of the restaurant before he could hear more whispers of the people who had been watching him.Gabriel had returned to his hotel room. As he landed on his back on the bed, his gaze fell on the book on the table. He actually wanted to get out of bed to read

She exclaimed in worry and anger.“Patrick, what are you doing? Get your hands off him! Patrick!”Patrick gritted his teeth and glared at Gabriel as his eyes darkened. “I’m warning you to stay away from my sister! I arranged for her to be with a rich man, and you better not get in the way of their relationship!” The threatening words escaped his lips.Diana pulled Patrick’s hand away to release his grip on Gabriel, but he slapped her back roughly.“Stay out of my way! I already have wonderful plans for your future. As a manager at a big company like The Dragon Lord Group, you shouldn’t be dating a loser like him!” Patrick exclaimed.“He’s not my boyfriend!” Diana retorted.“Then who is he?”“Get out of my sight!” Gabriel forcefully slapped Patrick's

Diana shook her head, dismissing her brother's accusations. "No, he's not my boyfriend. I've told you many times, but why do you keep insisting? Please get out of here!"Patrick huffed. "What kind of male friend comes to your apartment? Do you think I'm dumb and don't understand all this?" His eyes darkened with anger. He pushed his sister aside, sending her head crashing into the wall and landing on the floor.Gabriel's eyes widened in deep worry as he watched Diana fall to the floor with a cut on her forehead."Diana!" He glared at Patrick.Diana hissed in pain as she held her forehead. She looked at blood in her palm, but her worry was bigger than her wound.Seeing her brother walking toward Gabriel, she quickly rose from her position.Patrick shoved his hand into his pants pocket, another one aimed the gun at Gabriel.Undettered, Gabriel showed a relaxed expression. He didn't raise his hands or plead with Patrick not to shoot him.His nonchalant attitude made Patrick frown. He won
