CHAPTER 542: CHAPTER 542: PANDEMONIUM

Yet, the two groups of people directly bypassed her and Summer Xavier and started arguing, and they argued with real seriousness.

Greenhead: "Flora Lyons, if you’ve got the guts, come over here and let’s fight, stop hiding behind women!"

Blondie looked furious, "Chloe Abbott, shut your damn mouth! Who the hell is Flora Lyons? I am Justin Lyons! Call me Justin Lyons, understand? Call me by the wrong name again, and I’ll pound you!"

Chloe Abbott, "You’re the one who’s Chloe Abbott! I’m Ulysses S Grant! Do you even know ’Ulysses S Grant, the lone rider’?"

A kid next to Chloe Abbott reminded him, "Bro, I think the lone rider is someone else."

Chloe Abbott, "Shut up! Do I need you to remind me? Of course I know! I got it wrong on purpose."

Although both sides were ready for a fight, the scene was surprisingly amusing.

The boss and two employees ignored them and started tidying up the tables, looking completely unfazed.

However, Summer Xavier and Paige Sterling, standing in the middle, were not nearly as calm.

If those two wanted to fight, it would be fine if they went for it.

The issue is, they weren’t fighting; they were just yelling insults with arms akimbo like shrews.

Paige and Summer stood in the middle, taking in all the spit from both groups.

As their insults reached a peak, they started provoking each other with totally absurd taunts.

"Chloe Abbott, if you’ve got the guts, come over here..."

"Flora Lyons, if you’ve got the guts, come back here..."

"If you’ve got the guts, you come over first..."

"If you’ve got the guts, you first..."

Paige couldn’t take it anymore. She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and slapped a blow to the left and then a blow to the right, hitting both Chloe Abbott and Flora Lyons off balance.

The noodle shop suddenly went silent.

Finally, there was peace and quiet, and Paige’s face looked a little better.

Summer gasped, her mouth wide in an ’O’, looking full of admiration.

Paige thought she was scared and consoled her, "With me here, don’t be afraid of such petty scenes."

Then she added, "Let’s just have one final fight and get it over with."

Summer, "..."

Sister, you’re gonna scare the kids like that.

Finally, the two silly leaders came back to their senses.

It’s one thing not to hit people in the face; they still needed to save face as leaders, and Paige just hit their faces in front of their underlings and foes, making her as good as a sworn enemy to them.

But their attitude towards an enemy was quite bizarre.

Flora Lyons, "Woman, if you think such tricks can get my attention, you’re dreaming."

Chloe Abbott, "Woman, you’ve pushed my buttons, you know that?"

They were like products from the same factory, the same type of arrogant brutes.

Seeing their ridiculous looks, Paige slapped her left hand and then her right, once again dazing them.

Yet she wore a dull expression, like a veteran commander.

"Guys, please learn to speak human language."

Yet the two who were hit couldn’t stop using those cringeworthy, domineering lines once they opened their mouths.

So Paige struck again, leaving both of their faces swelling.

Flora Lyons started crying, "Woman, I showed restraint time and again, but you keep pressing your luck? Now I’ll give you thirty seconds to vanish from my sight, or I won’t hesitate to show you what I, Justin Lyons, am capable of!"

The toady next to him quickly pulled out a stopwatch and started counting. When the countdown ended, Paige hadn’t left yet.

To spare the boss’s dignity, the toady changed the time units to "3.9 seconds, 3.8 seconds..."

Everyone, "...", where on earth did these jokers come from?

Paige gave another blow to Flora Lyons.

The minion stopped counting, holding Flora Lyons’s swollen face and shivering, "Boss, why don’t we retreat?"

"Retreat? There’s no such word as retreat in my life motto as Justin Lyons! Go! Let this woman see what I’m made of!"

But nobody dared to move.

To be honest, they’ve always talked about fighting and killing, but in reality, they haven’t even killed a chicken. Their only claim to fame was cursing down a group of old folks occupying the basketball court.

Seeing how timid his underlings were, Flora Lyons was thoroughly embarrassed.

On top of that, Chloe Abbott was laughing at him from the side, and he felt utterly humiliated, "You bunch of losers! Whoever doesn’t step up is no longer under me!"

"Really, boss?"

The minions’ eyes lit up, and Flora Lyons thought he’d threatened them effectively, "Of course, so you..."

Before he could finish, most of them had already bolted, "Boss, the path of the underworld is too hard, we’re going back to study hard and improve every day. Take care on the road out there on your own."

Flora Lyons, "..."

Damn, these paid lackeys really are unreliable.

Those who stayed were only in it for the money.

Flora Lyons felt bitter inside, while Chloe Abbott laughed smugly and said to Paige, "Woman, do you see this wuss? He..."

Before he could finish, Paige swung another blow to his face.

"I told you to make way earlier, why didn’t you listen? Why did you have to force me to act?"

Then Paige pummeled the crowd, not sparing a single one.

One of the minions who had run away came back halfway, saw the scene, and quietly left again.

Damn, that woman is terrifying.

The noodle shop was in a pandemonium. Actually, calling it a brawl wasn’t accurate, it was just Paige single-handedly beating them down.

Originally, these two groups often stirred up trouble in the shop. The boss was annoyed but helpless, as calling the police didn’t help much.

But they had never really fought inside before, and seeing the fight start for real, the boss was dumbfounded.

Especially since the one doing the beating was a girl who looked quite frail, yet as the boss watched her dominate the scene, his jaw nearly dropped.

That’s no girl, that’s a freaking powerhouse.

The boss hurriedly tried to persuade Summer, who was watching Paige beat people with great interest, "Kid, try to talk some sense into your friend, tell her to stop, something bad might happen..."

Summer said, "Don’t worry, boss, my friend never loses a fight..."

Boss, "..."

Am I worried about your friend? I’m worried about my shop, damn it.

Why are these kids so impulsive? Why can’t they just sit down and talk through their issues instead of resorting to violence, sob sob.

Seeing that the boss was on the verge of tears, Summer reassured him, "Don’t worry, she knows her limits, she’s just teaching these students a lesson, nothing fatal."

As the boss continued looking distraught, Summer added, "Relax, relax, we’ll pay for any damages, won’t let you suffer a loss."

The boss’s face finally relaxed a tiny bit.

Summer chuckled, looking at the beaten-up crowd.

Guys, this life lesson from Paige in the pandemonium-style classroom ought to be unforgettable for a lifetime, right?

In the end, everyone was rolling on the ground in a heap, looking at Paige with terrified eyes.

At this moment, they felt what they were seeing wasn’t a woman, but a demon.

As Paige finished up, Summer handed her a glass of water, "Paige, have some water and take a break."
