Howard Wagner glared at Billy Zane with wide-opened eyes. However, at this moment, a figure was slowly crawling toward Billy Zane. They heard the figure bark, "Woof- Woof, woof- Woof, woof, woof-"

"Robert! You-" Howard Wagner exclaimed.

Howard Wagner felt extremely pained when he saw this scene. They had been spirited and full of mettle when they set up Zane Corporation back then. Howard Wagner could never forget the enthusiasm on Robert Drey's face when the man closed deals with ten suppliers in one sitting many years ago. However, now, reality had crushed Robert Drey's spine and caused him to crumble completely.

"Hahaha-" Billy Zane laughed with satisfaction. Then, he turned his gaze toward Howard Wagner and Bruce White and continued, "See that? He's a good friend of yours. Are you very angry? Do you want to beat me up?"

Billy Zane was in high spirits and had a playful expression on his face. Howard Wagner clenched his fists, visibly furious. At this moment, Bruce White, who had not spoken until now, took a step forward and stood in front of Billy Zane.

Bruce White looked down at Billy Zane with his six-foot-tall frame and asked, "Do you really like to make people kneel?"

Billy Zane let out a cold laugh. "That's right, so what? What can you do about it?"

"Since that's the case, you can spend the rest of your life kneeling!" Bruce White shouted.

Boom!

Bruce White instantly shot two kicks toward Billy Zane's knees.

The people around them heard two cracks that sounded a lot like bones shattering.

Gasp!

Billy Zane gasped. What he felt next was unbearable, heartrending pain in his knees.

His legs could no longer support his body and he immediately knelt on the ground with a thump.

"Ahhh!!!" Billy Zane wailed. Another wave of pain, this one more intense than the previous one, spread from his knees to the rest of his body when his shattered knees hit the ground. The immense pain caused Billy Zane to howl pathetically.

"Bruce White, I'll annihilate you! I'll f*cking destroy you!!!" Billy Zane, who was now kneeling on the ground, let out a continuous stream of roars. Large beads of sweat fell from his forehead. He looked extremely downtrodden.

It was over. Billy Zane knew that his knees had probably been destroyed and, just like Bruce White had said, he would have to spend the rest of his life kneeling on the floor.

"Ahhh!!!" Billy Zane screamed. His embarrassment turned into fury the more he thought about it. He wanted to skin Bruce White alive. He roared furiously at the followers behind him, "F*ck him up! Destroy him! Destroy him!!!"

Billy Zane's followers looked at each other, then clenched their teeth and charged at Bruce White. However, Kirin instantly reacted and sent everyone flying backward with two slaps.

"Fatso, thank you for still believing in me. Don't worry, everything I said just now was true. You'll slowly witness my power from this day forward. I can help you even if what you want is to become the king of Porta," Bruce White said calmly as if what he promised was an insignificantly small matter. At this moment, Howard Wagner had already been scared silly. He was so shocked that he forgot how to speak.

Bruce White did not look at Billy Zane again. He sent Billy Zane flying into the wall of the hotel with a kick. The massive sound of the crash startled all the guests in the venue. The crowd, who had been sucking up to Thomas Zane all this while, quickly turned their heads to see a face they did not expect to see again.

It was Bruce White.

The color of Thomas Zane's face—as he was being crowded around by the guests—became darker when he saw Bruce White. Peggy Vade's expression as she stood beside Thomas Zane also changed. There was now a look of intense disgust on her exquisite face.

At this moment, several of Thomas Zane's bootlickers started to curse at Bruce White.

"Bruce White! You are the sinner of Zane Corporation, yet you have the gall to come back?" one of the workers questioned.

"F*ck off! Don't think we don't know about the shady crimes you've committed in the past. Zane Corporation doesn't welcome scum like you!" another person commented.

"Tsh! Do you think you haven't done enough harm to Zane Corporation? Now you want a cut of the company's IPO? Scram! F*ck off as far away as possible!" someone else shouted.

Many of the older workers whom Bruce had thought of as his right-hand men in the past were distorting the truth and cursing at him to get the attention of Thomas Zane.

Bruce White immediately became public enemy number one and was cursed at by everyone who saw him.

However, he was not afraid despite having become the public's enemy. He did not even furrow a single eyebrow. It was as if he did not hear whatever they were saying at all.

The looks on the faces of Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade became impossibly sinister as they faced this unperturbed Bruce White.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense as more and more of Zane Corporation's older workers stepped out to reprimand Bruce White. The attending guests finally remembered Bruce White's identity when they saw how Zane Corporation treated him with such animosity and the way they regarded him as their enemy.

It was just as the older workers had said. Bruce White was public enemy number one of Zane Corporation. Back then, Bruce had been one of Zane Corporation's directors. However, he had lined his pockets with the company's funds and had committed secret underhanded dealings which nearly caused Zane Corporation to go bankrupt. If not for Thomas Zane rallying with Peggy Vade at that critical period of time to bring Zane Corporation back from the cusp of devastation with their best efforts, how would Zane Corporation be as prosperous as it was today?

In the eyes of the crowd, Bruce White was the sinner while Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade were Zane Corporation's saviors.

The guests started to discuss this matter amongst themselves. One of them said, "Bruce White sure is shameless. He must have come back wanting a share of the pie when he saw how well Zane Corporation has developed and grown."

"A share of the pie? Him? He must be dreaming. What right does he have to show his face here?" another worker commented.

"Hehe... Would he be standing here if he was not shameless?" someone else asked.

The discussion was completely biased against Bruce White. All the attending guests started to follow the lead of the older workers and reprimanded Bruce White. However, everyone soon noticed that their words did not affect Bruce White at all.

Bruce White continued to walk forward at his own pace. The fierce aura he exuded instilled fear in everyone around him. Several of the guests who had not spoken sparingly did not actually want to cause any trouble. Thus, they intelligently made way for Bruce.

Finally, Bruce White stood directly in front of Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade, Kirin and Howard Wagner beside him.

Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade who were still standing on the stage looked down at Bruce from above. There was a strange glimmer in their eyes.

"Why? Are you not going to welcome an old friend when he visits?" Bruce White asked Thomas Zane and Peggy Vade with a faint smile on his face. Though he was standing beneath the stage, the aura he exuded was more powerful than the couple's auras combined.

A killing intent burned in Thomas Zane's heart as he looked at this Bruce White who had suddenly appeared before him. However, he did not flare up. There were many guests around and he had to consider the influential guest who was going to arrive later. Instead, he said with a cold smile, "Bruce White, you're as arrogant and self-centered as always."

Peggy Vade also added overbearingly at this time, "Bruce White, we no longer want to pursue what happened back then with you. Today is a celebration of our company, Zane Corporation's IPO. We do not want any trouble. If you're smart, you'll leave quickly."

Bruce White laughed playfully. A moment later, his voice was bleak, "Oh? Zane Corporation is your company?"
