chapter 43 Drink or not

Baldwin opened the medicine packet and slowly poured it into a glass full of orange juice. Benjamin, watching with great satisfaction, thought of the Qi Family, a top-tier family on par with the Kang Family. But at this moment, the former young master of the Qi Family had to pour the medicine into his own wife's cup under his threat, and even send his wife to someone else's bed! "Haha, haha..." Benjamin couldn't help laughing out loud, extremely proud. Egbert, watching, felt envious. If he had power like Benjamin, he could also force Baldwin to drug April and obediently bring her to his bed! "This cuckold, to please young master Kang, actually drugged his own wife!" "Did he have a choice? Facing someone like young master Kang, he had no choice. Do you think he's still General Cheyenn's fiancé or the young master of the Qi Family?" "Hahaha, let's witness this scene, to see if this wretch's head will sprout green grass!" Everyone laughed as Baldwin poured the entire packet of medicine into the cup. Unexpectedly, after discarding the packet, Baldwin looked up at Benjamin and smiled, saying, "Drink this beverage, and I won't kill you today." Benjamin's smile froze instantly, clearly not expecting Baldwin to say such a thing. The others were also shocked, then burst into angry curses. "Qi, do you think you're still the young master from before? Daring to speak to young master Kang like this, you must be tired of living!" "Young master Kang kindly gave you some dignity out of old times' sake, and you don't appreciate it." "Exactly, even if young master Kang asked you to drug your own mother, you should do it!" "Young master Kang, shall we deal with this dog? Just a word from you, and I'm willing to do it!" Egbert also sneered at this moment, saying, "Baldwin, you just won't learn until you see the coffin! Daring to speak to young master Kang like that, I don't know who can save you now." Baldwin grabbed Egbert by the collar, pulling him close, and slapped him across the face. "April treats you as a friend, yet you harbor ill intentions towards her, that's heartless!" As he spoke, Baldwin slapped him again. "For the sake of pleasing the powerful, you betray April, even planning to harm her, that's unjust!" Baldwin delivered another slap. Holding Egbert like a dead dog, Baldwin quickly followed with another slap. "You deceived Uncle Qiao, Aunt Pang, and the entire Qiao Family of their funds, disrespecting the elderly, that's unfilial!" "When the company was struggling, you thought of crooked ways to embezzle funds instead of revitalizing the business, betraying your employees, that's disloyal!" Baldwin slapped Egbert several times, leaving him seeing stars, spitting blood. "People like you, who are unrighteous and unloyal, still have the nerve to speak in front of me?" Baldwin said coldly, holding Egbert. Everyone was shocked by Egbert's appearance, as the slaps had disfigured him. Benjamin sneered and said lightly, "Baldwin, does this amuse you? Do you think slapping Egbert a few times can scare me?" Hearing this, everyone around started nodding and mocking. "Egbert is just a rich second-generation from a small place, you think hitting him can scare Young Master Kang?" "Young Master Kang is from the capital, bumpkin, have you ever been there? It's a place where ministers are a dime a dozen!" "You're still too green to play tough, shaking mountains and frightening tigers. You can mess with Egbert, but do you dare lay a finger on young master Kang?" Baldwin glanced sideways at Benjamin and said, "I'm not trying to scare you; I'm telling you that if you don't drink this beverage, your end will be worse than his!" "How dare you, speaking to young master Kang like that, today you'll crawl out of here like a dog!" "And you threaten young master Kang to drink this beverage? You must be out of your mind. Do you think by beating up Egbert, you can intimidate us?" The young masters were cursing and swearing, but seeing the miserable state of Egbert, no one dared to step forward for a while. "Baldwin, what are you doing, put down Mr. Zhang!" At this moment, April appeared at the door of the private room, and seeing this scene, she was furiously enraged. She rushed in, yanked Baldwin's hand away, and Egbert's body thudded to the ground. April glared at Baldwin furiously and said through clenched teeth, "I never thought you would be this kind of person. Being jealous of him is one thing, but to actually hit him, do you even qualify as a man?!" Baldwin calmly replied, "I did nothing wrong by hitting him. He deserved it." April, infuriated by Baldwin, turned red in the face and yelled, "Do you have any idea how much effort Mr. Zhang put in to ensure I could secure the position of CEO at Qiao Group?" "Do you know the price he paid to make the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce compromise with me?" "Do you know Mr. Zhang personally invited a big shot from the Imperial Capital to meet me?" "He is my benefactor, our Qiao Group’s benefactor, and this is how you treat him?!" Baldwin's face was expressionless, utterly indifferent to April's furious words. Benjamin, however, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Baldwin, oh Baldwin, you are truly pathetic. Even your wife despises you. What's the point of living like this?" "Just jump out of here and I won't trouble you anymore!" After saying this, he pointed at the open window. "Hahaha, the young master of the Qi Family, reduced to a live-in son-in-law of the Qiao Family, and his wife is completely devoted to another man. This is worse than a dog's life!" "It's blinding my titanium alloy eyes! The young master of the Qi Family from the Imperial Capital has fallen so low, worse than a dog. If I were him, I'd rather be dead." "Baldwin, just jump. Seeing your pitiful life, we won’t even bother tormenting you. This miserable life of yours should just end." The mockery from everyone left April stunned, then her face flushed with anger. Biting her lip, she muttered, "You... don't listen to them. I spoke harshly, but don't lose hope." Baldwin glanced at April, then smiled and turned to face Benjamin. He picked up a drink and stood opposite Benjamin, saying, "My patience is limited!" At that moment, Egbert somewhat recovered and said to April, "April... this is the big shot from the Imperial Capital I wanted to introduce to you, young master Kang of the Kang Family!" "However, Baldwin seems to have misunderstood me. Finding me here, he rushed in and hit me, offending young master Kang..." "This man has gone mad. You shouldn't bother with him anymore." "Don't worry, I'll plead with young master Kang for you later!" April, touched by Egbert's consideration even in such a state, felt moved. Before she could respond to Egbert, April saw Baldwin confronting Benjamin. This scene made her shiver in fear, and she scolded, "Baldwin, what are you doing? Don't offend young master Kang!" "Is he someone you can afford to offend?!" Baldwin turned with a smirk and retorted, "What is he, that I can't afford to offend him?" After speaking, he slapped the table and coldly said, "Will you drink or not?"
