Face-Slapping System

As a worker from Mark Jonalds before, Roland was naturally aware of Tiansen's existence.

Tiansen was the vice manager of the Mark Jonalds branch a few blocks away.

It could be said that Roland's experience with Mark Jonalds became more like hell due to Tiansen's existence. He was the type of person that bosses around everyone a lot.

Knowing that Roland would not say anything, he would always boss Roland around without care for the latter's opinion. Of course, as a responsible worker that needs money, Roland could do nothing other than to follow his orders without fail. He also just thought that it was normal for a vice manager to boss him around.

"Tell me everything in detail," Roland ordered as he looked at the man kneeling in front of him.

He had never caused trouble for Tiansen. Could it be that he was also tasked by Councilor Brown or Bryan to cause trouble for the Sparkling Buds?

The man started to tell Roland everything that he knew.

It turns out that in order to increase the sales of his Mark Jonalds branch, he decided to hire some thugs to cause trouble in Sparkling Buds.

Their plan was quite simple and was in line with the recent horror in Fore City, the cultists.

In order to shift the attention of the public, they planned to create chaos in Sparkling Buds and make it as if the cultists were targeting the place. When chaos ensued, it would be then the perfect time for their Mark Jonalds to shine once again. They can promote the place as safer than Sparkling Buds that were being targeted by the cultists.

In fact, this was truly a good plan. If Roland did not manage to stop it, the daily sales of Sparkling Buds would surely be affected. After all, the infamy of the 'cultist' was also high at this time so it would not be a surprise if people stopped coming to Sparkling Buds due to their fear of the cultist.

In fact, this man was not the only one that was hired by Tiansen. He was only the first one to arrive. Later, two more would come to wreak havoc in Sparkling Buds. They would continue to do this until no people would dare to come to Sparkling Buds anymore.

Hearing the full details of their plan, rage could not help but boil down on Roland's head.

There were just people that wanted trouble even though he had already forgotten about them. Tiansen was such an example.

'You wanted trouble right? Then, I'll give you trouble,' he thought as he waved his hands in the air.

"Call the vice manager over," he ordered.

Gustav was the manager of Mark Jonalds before. He would surely have a lot of information regarding Tiansen and the Mark Jonald branch.

A while later, Gustav finally came.

He was still all smiles when he came, however, his smile immediately disappeared when he saw the man kneeling in front of Roland.

Gustav's life has been quite happy these past few days. He could finally give his wife and daughter the life they deserve. As a man who values his family over anything, this was the best thing that happened to him his entire life.

Hence, he has been very grateful to Roland due to this opportunity.

Previously, he has been treating Roland as his younger brother that he needs to protect. However, after a few days, Gustav came into a realization that Roland was no longer the kid he used to be. He no longer needs protection and was instead the one protecting others now.

When Roland went to pursue the Razor's gang, Gustav did not hesitate to follow along to offer some help even though it was dangerous. However, reality was often cruel. It was then that Gustav realized that Roland was already on another page. He already has a lot of capable men under him.

When he saw someone kneeling in front of Roland, Gustav immediately realized that someone was causing trouble again. And for Roland to call him here, it meant that he might be of some help.

Last time, he told them information about Razor. He wondered what kind of help he could offer this time around.

"Do you need my help, sir?" Gustav said respectfully.

Gustav did not dare to get too casual with Roland. He already learned his position and Roland was his boss. He could not call him casually anymore. It was better to be self-aware of the status between the two of them.

However, upon hearing that, a frown appeared on Roland's face.

"Why are you calling me that all of a sudden? Stop with the formalities with me. You're my brother, so act like one." Roland stated with a smile.

Gustav smiled wryly and began to explain his reason. The change in their status and why it was normal for Gustav to call him 'sir'.

"Well, okay. But just use it during formal occasions. If it's just us, then just talk to me like you usually do. Anyways, I need your help this time," he said as he began to explain everything that had happened.

"What? How dare that incapable trash have some designs to Sparkling Buds," Gustav's enraged voice echoed the moment he heard what had happened.

'Incapable trash?' Roland could not help but look at Gustav and his sudden outburst.

He did not know that Gustav was such a capable trash talker as well.

"Ahemm- I apologize for my outburst earlier. I just really did not expect Tiansen to have the guts to do this."

"That kid is just a coward who likes to bully others in a lower position than him in Mark Jonalds. That kid is very incapable that I even wondered how he got hired as the vice manager. I often scold him for his mistakes but he just wouldn't learn. He's very incapable." Gustav said, shaking his head in the process.

"Anyways, Roland, can you leave this matter to me? I assure you that I won't let this guy off the hook easily," Gustav added with a hint of anger in his voice.

Roland thought for a bit and finally nodded his head.

"Alright, but I want to see and know the process," he said.

"Sure thing. And as for you, didn't your leader educate you?" Gustav said, looking at the man that was kneeling in front of Roland.
