Chapter 206 You would have to Die
Mateo squatted down on the floor, his hands on his head. He was full of remorse. He had guessed the beginning of the whole thing, but failed to guess the ending. When Mateo was facing Maximilian's fist at this moment, his legs couldn't help trembling. He stared at Maximilian with imploring eyes.
"Bro, I was wrong. I know I went too far. Just give me a number, and I will give you whatever money you want!"
"You think you can make up for this with money?" Maximilian waved his fists with a sneer. Both his fists rained down on Mateo, who kept screaming painfully. Maximilian specifically selected where to beat hard. Those were all body parts that would suffer intense pain after being beaten.
The great pain made Mateo passed out, but soon he was woken up by greater pain.
Mateo had passed out and woken up again and again. After that, Mateo collapsed on the floor like a pile of mud.
As for the bruises on his face and body, they looked brutal. Mateo appeared like a broken doll.
What had happened left Andrew and the others dumbfounded for a while. It was when Maximilian turned around and walked up to Victoria that they came to their senses.
Andrew and the others rushed to Mateo in panic. When they saw Mateo's misery, their guts were trembling violently, their blood pressures soaring, as if blood was about to shoot out from the top of their heads. "This... is so awful. Maximilian, you went too far. How can you do this to Mr. Mccarthy? This is Mr. Mccarthy, a giant in medical industry in the province!" Andrew said, his hands shivering.
"How dare you say anything at this moment? When this trash made those improper requests a while ago, what did you guys do? Do you have any self-esteem? Have you ever treated Victoria as a member of the Griffith family? You are all accomplices, a group of scumbags who hold a candle to the devil." Maximilian rebuked angrily.
"How dare you teach us a lesson? If Victoria hadn't got herself into trouble, we wouldn't have to fawn on him! Now you're making the situation worse, and the whole Griffith family will be on the receiving end of Mateo's rage!" Darian roared, stamping his foot.
At this moment, Andrew and the others even wanted to end their own lives. All troubles would vanish once they died, but if they were alive, they had to face Mateo's anger. Mateo might torture them to death slowly in 100 ways.
"Aren't you good at finding excuses? Don't you keep mentioning the Griffith family! Victoria has made painstaking efforts to help the Griffith family, but how have you guys treated her? You Griffith family could have gone broke without her!" Maximilian roared with rage.
Franklin heard Maximilian's words and flew into a fury. He pointed at Maximilian's nose and said, "Stop talking nonsense, loser. You are not the one who decides whether the Griffith family is broke or not. Boss Mccarthy is the one! Since you have offended Boss Mccarthy, kneel down and apologize to Boss Mccarthy at once!"
"This loser has to make an apology together with Victoria. What a loser couple! You two are nothing but pests. If Boss Mccarthy doesn't forgive you, go hang yourselves together!" Iris called out in a shrill voice. Slap! Maximilian slapped Iris across the face. Iris staggered and sat on Mateo's body.
"Ouch! You fucking..."
Mateo rolled his eyeballs in pain and passed out again.
Iris was so scared that her face turned pale. She thought she had ended Mateo's life.
"He won't die. It's your turn." Maximilian waved his hand, and then the sound of slaps broke out.
Stars were dancing before Andrew and the others' eyes due to Maximilian's slaps. They were stunned. This loser Maximilian, who had been looked down upon by them all in the past, were now slapping them. That infuriated Andrew and the others.
Although infuriated, Andrew and the others just covered their cheeks with their hands and glared at Maximilian, not daring to continue arguing with him at all. "Maximilian, you went too far. It's OK to slap me, but it's an outrageous behavior of yours to slap my father and my uncle!" Franklin said, glaring at Maximilian. Slap! Maximilian remained silent and gave Franklin another slap on the face.
"Fuck! Do you think I'm made of clay? Do you think I don't dare to slap back, right?" Franklin growled and took a swing at Maximilian. "Pathetic." Maximilian stared scornfully at Franklin, who was rushing towards him. He lifted his leg and kicked Franklin in the stomach. Bang! Franklin flew away and hit hard against the wall. Even the wall shook.
Andrew and Darian's lips were twitching. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to stare at Maximilian. They looked like a pair of punch bags.
Iris shrank to the corner of the wall. If possible, she even wanted to drag Mateo in front of her and use his body as a human shield.
"Maximilian... Calm down. As Victoria's uncles, it's not that we didn't care about her, but we really had no choice. Boss Mccarthy gave a message, and many of the cooperative partners broke their contracts with us. We could only make such an unwise decision in despair."
Darian explained weakly. He raised his eyes and observed Maximilian's expression secretly. Seeing that Maximilian said nothing, Darian hesitated for a moment and steeled himself to go on.
"You may have no idea about Boss Mccarthy's power. He is the medical giant in the province. He has connections everywhere. You beat him up today, and our family will definitely be battered later. Tell us, what can we do about it? The whole Griffith family can't just live on air because of this."
"Besides, you are also a member of the Griffith family. Your wife, kid, father-in-law and mother-in-law all live off the Griffith Group. If our company shuts down, your family can't live a good life either." The more Darian said, the more excited he got. He felt his words were touching and sensible, and could probably persuade Maximilian.
Seeing that Maximilian wouldn't raise a hand to anyone again, Andrew reckoned that Maximilian might be open to persuasion, but not to coercion. So he started to persuade him too.
"You have to think about Sissi. Her treatment requires a large sum of money. If the Griffith family goes broke, what are you going to do with Sissi's disease? The medical fee is so high, and you can't pay for it easily."
"Victoria, think about it. The bankruptcy of the company will do good to no one. It's not like we want to force you to do something. Beggars can't be choosers. There are occasions when one must yield." Victoria had gone silent for a while. She had mixed feelings in her heart. After a long consideration, Victoria let out a sigh slowly.
She held Maximilian's hand and said in a low voice, "I'm a little tired. Let's go home."
"Fine. I have something to tell them. One moment please."
Maximilian walked up to Andrew and Darian. He lifted his foot and kicked both of them hard in the stomach. The two of them flew away and lay down with Franklin.
Maximilian pointed at the people lying on the floor and said in an extremely cold voice, "Each of you, listen up. He who dares to take advantage of my wife again, even if he was the king, he would have to die!"
