Once Broken, Now Unstoppable

Chapter 8: This must be a misunderstanding

Chapter 8

"Sure babe." Rex nodded and then looked at Thomas angrily as if the very sight of him before them was enough to ruin the mood.

"Trash! Since you're shameless as to not know the immersion between heaven and earth, dare follow us again and I will tell the guards to break both of your legs!"

After saying those threaten words, Rex didn't wait for Thomas's reaction as he directly walked towards the door which lead to the fourth floor which was guided by three hefty security men and swipe his card, making the door open.

"And you guards, don't you dare just let him walk in or else..." But just like last time, he didn't immediately step in and even threaten the guards if they allow him in to follow them then he will report them to their manager about the security incompetence.

The guards nodded hastily.

Thomas who was behind, witnessing all these couldn't help but smirk lightly as if enjoying the way Rex acts like a spoiled brat throwing tantrums.

Sighing softly, Thomas looked around the third floor for at least a minute but seeing that all the things here didn't catch his fancy he decided to head to the fourth floor and check.

Walking towards the fourth door, the guards watch as Thomas came and didn't react, waiting to see what he was about to do and when they saw him pull out a Diamond Membership Card, they lightly gave a light bow to him and watch him step into the fourth floor, the door slowly closing behind them.

"Fuck! We are lucky we didn't act rashly without waiting for him to pull his card or else we would have offended a VIP customer." One of the guards mutters, wiping the nonexistent sweat on his forehead.

"We're lucky we didn't act rashly. That fool with a gold card wants to make us lose our jobs." The leader mutters, anger flashing in his eyes as he curse Rex in his head.

Meanwhile, Thomas who finally reaches the fourth floor caught a glimpse of Rex and Jessica in the calligraphy and painting area seemingly trying to select the best one for tomorrow's event.

Hearing the door opening they turn to see who enter and were immediately shocked and slowly the shocked turn into anger.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Jessica couldn't help it but walk faster to Thomas, her high heels clicking on the floor in crisp sounds. "You fool! What did you give them this time to let you in! Aren't you shameless?"

Hearing her words, Thomas's eyes turn cold as he snort, looking around before replying, "like I said, this isn't your home."

"How dare you talk back at me? Are you tired of living?" Jessica, so angry lift her hand and brought it down in full force with the intention of slapping Thomas.

But unlike back when Thomas will cower or let himself be humiliated, he casually grabbed her hand, squeezing the wrist lightly, "this is the last time I will tolerate your rubbish, woman."

He has have enough, back then he tolerate her because he was madly in love, have no place to lay his head and couldn't bear being chased out of the house. But now, after being cuckold by the very lady he loved, he will be a fool to tolerate her, she should be lucky he didn't snap and kill her out of anger and pain.

"You... You! You dare fight back against me?!" Jessica's eyes widened as if Thomas figuring back was something incredible that she never believe will happen.

"You think I wouldn't do worse if you step on my nerves again?" Thomas said coldly, his face as chilling as the frost as he looked at the woman he once love like a total stranger.

"Bastard!!! I will kill you!" Jessica scream, the anger she has been feeling since seeing him which has buckle up in her chest for a while exploded, rising her foot, she kick directly at Thomas's stomach, if the kick was to successfully land, then for sure the high heel sharp point will definitely deal with Thomas a fatal injury which will be hard to recover from or even lead to his dead.

Seeing this, Thomas sneered, he has had enough!

There was no need to be polite with a donkey that didn't appreciate the kindness of a human dragging it to the stream!

Lifting his hand up, Thomas wave it with full force directly at Jessica's face.

Pa!!!

The crisp slap rank through the hall and Jessica couldn't bear the force from the slap as it knock her directly to the ground, sending her crashing right into the floor, on her smooth, white tender cheek was five bloody red fingerprints which has appeared there and there was even sign of the cheek swelling up.

"Thomas you shameless man! You dare lift your hand against a woman! Are you truly a man?! Are you tired of living and want me to use my family force and deal with you?!" Rex eyes immediately turn red in anger as he yelled at Thomas. For Thomas a nobody to slap his woman right before him, a rich wealthy young master with a gold tier membership card and powerful backing, wasn't this pouring him spit?

If words of this get out then surely the friends in his circles will mock him to no end!

But at the end he didn't charge at Thomas, remembering the beating he took from Thomas back inside the room, if not for Jessica's sneak attack, he would have surely been humiliated.

"No fighting in this hall!" Due to the commotion, the security team of the fourth floor head the commotion and rush toward this place.

"Fools! What were you doing since?! Why is it now you're arriving?" Seeing the arrival of the security guard's, Red immediately shouted angrily, despite feeling happy inside, finally, he will use them to deal with Thomas this time.

"I'm sorry sir, it's our error in our duty for not arriving in time." The security guard who seeks to be the leader bowed and apologize.

"Dereliction of duty?! Is it your dereliction of duty that let a beggar into this floor?!" Rex refused to let the matter die easily and pointed towards Thomas, "this waste is poor, broke and cheap. You can see it from his clothes! How then was he able to step into the Gold Membership floor?!"

"No membership card?" Several of the securities were shocked. If Thomas really sneaked in without a membership card, it would be a serious issues and they the guards will face severe punishment.

"Sir, are you sure? This must be a misunderstanding." Noel Andrew the security manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead despite how chilling the place was.

"Misunderstanding my fart!" Rex was so angry that he pointed at Thomas and added, "this wastrel of a man here is a security guard in a low level company and I bet he doesn't earn more than $100 a month there! Yet he was able to follow us to this floor! I told your security guard's at the second and third floor not to let him in but here he is! Is this how lazy your guards are? That anybody with no make caj swagger to a VIP area? Then why is it a VIP area?! I want an explanation, now!!!"

"I'm sorry, sir. If what you say is true, the Soaring Eagle Pavilion security team will provide a reasonable explanation and ensure a satisfactory resolution." The guard manager, Noel Andrew, bowed deeply in apology.

Everyone capable of becoming a member of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion either hailed from a wealthy family or possessed immense influence. Mere security personnel like them wouldn’t dare provoke such individuals without solid reasons. Mishandling such situations could also damage the Pavilion’s reputation.

Noel turned toward Thomas, his expression darkening as his gaze landed on the man’s cheap clothes. His tone grew colder as he spoke, "Please show me your membership card, sir." His voice carried a distinct weight, as if he had already judged Thomas guilty. If this man had really sneaked in, Noel planned to teach him a lesson—one that would serve as a warning to other lowly people with similar intentions.

"Sure." Thomas replied casually, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a card. He handed it over without the slightest change in his expression.

Noel took the card and examined it closely. The moment his eyes registered the intricate pattern on its surface, his pupils contracted sharply. His hands trembled, and he nearly dropped the card in shock.

A diamond membership card?!

Impossible!

This was a privilege reserved for the true elite—local tyrants of entire cities. How could this man, dressed in such plain clothes, possess one?!

"Is there a problem with the card?" Thomas asked, frowning slightly. He began to wonder if the receptionist had scammed him.

"Huh? No! No problem at all, sir!" Noel stammered, his voice shaking.

"It's impossible!" Jessica suddenly screamed, her face twisting with rage. She had been waiting for Thomas to be humiliated. But this?! No way was she accepting this! "Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"

"How could he—a useless nobody—own even the lowest membership card of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion?!"

Jessica’s voice dripped with disbelief and venom. "He’s just a lowly security guard at some company! Even his manager doesn’t earn as much as you do, Mr. Noel! How in the world could he afford this?!"

She hadn’t seen the level of the card and assumed it was just a cheap, fake entry-tier membership.

"Miss, there’s no mistake." Noel's tone turned firm, his earlier hostility replaced with deep respect. "The card in this gentleman’s hand is indeed a Diamond Membership Card of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion."

He had worked at the Pavilion for ten years. There was no way he wouldn’t recognize it.
