My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 136

Peter's slaps were painful. The pain stung and hummed on his cheek, leaving him dizzy and near numbness.

In all honesty, he wanted to beg for Peter's mercy. He wanted the pain to stop. But he couldn't dare to surrender, because Diego and other men were watching him. He was helpless. Deep inside, he wished that the torture would end soon.

"Stop!" Diego called. His eyes lit with rage.

Peter grinned at seeing the underground king flustered. "So much for a Golden City King. You can't stop me."

Peter laughed and slapped the poor man another time.

The man's cheek was red from bleeding. When Peter let go of his hair, the man laid flat on the floor and passed out.

"Excellent! Good for you!" Diego shouted. "You arrogant son of a bitch. You're dead! You hear me? You're not leaving this place alive!"

"Yeah, sure I am!" Peter laughed, before flipping Diego off. "Practice what you preach, man. So far, I haven't been impressed. A lot of people have tried to kill me over the years, but look where I am now.

You think this is brutal? You think this is evil? You don't know what I've been through. You wanna know why I haven't kicked your ass yet? Your tired, old ass wouldn't be able to handle me,"

Peter smirked and cocked his eyebrow, waiting for an angry retort.

Peter was good at dealing with men like Diego. The best way to discard men like him was through fear and intimidation.

This was why Peter chose to beat up his men first, to instill fear.

Then, he'd intimidate Diego to bring out his reckless and tactless behavior, to defeat him easier.

"Liam!" Diego shouted, eyes not once leaving Peter's face as a man started to walk from behind him.

"Yes sir." Liam passed Diego, and headed towards Peter.

Liam walked cooly, footsteps barely being heard.

Liam was the head of Strongway Boxing Gym. He was Diego's best fighter.

Throughout these years, Liam had enjoyed his reputation in the dark world. He was the boxing champion.

Nobody knew why Liam became Diego's lackey.

Peter looked at Liam as he walked.

Peter clicked his tongue. Men like Diego just didn't learn.

'Wow, Liam's his last hope? This is getting pathetic.

Diego is weak. How can he be the true ruler of Golden City?' thought Peter.

"A pleasure to meet you,"

Liam greeted Peter.

Liam was known to be very humble to his opponents, even though he was going to obliterate them.

"You, too." Peter stood still, not once faltering. He watched Liam's every move.

Peter was cautious — he knew that Liam wasn't the evil and wicked man that everybody claimed he was. Liam was skilled and highly talented, but he wasn't a madman.

Liam quietly hummed in reply. Then just as quickly, he charged at Peter.
