Novel Bin 574 Chapter 574
Their patience was running off! In fact, their patience had been off from the start, and not even God could explain why they hadn\'t already exploded at Eric.
Well, it didn\'t really matter much, but Eric would certainly not make this easy and simple for them. As if trying to test their temperament and patience, he suddenly looked at them one by one and smiled.
Yes, Eric just smiled gently and a bit arrogantly at them, as if mocking them for their patience with him, which clearly infuriated the main three, and the rest of the people waiting.
"What kind of dogshit gardener does this guy thinks himself is!? He is but a mere fu*cker who has come to waste our time!"
"Yes, yes, this waste doesn\'t deserve such treatment and attention! The guards should just throw him outside, after a good beating and never permit him to cause trouble again!"
"Yes, that\'s right! Just break all his limbs, he is embarrassing our profession and our community!"
Quite a few impatient people in the crowd, who clearly didn\'t like the way things were going, immediately started raising their voices and asking for Eric\'s lynching.
After all, on one hand, they were afraid that Eric might truly do what he said and take the workplace, on the other hand, they just didn\'t like him and thought that he had bribed the guard and the examiner.
It was quite the situation, which forced even the guard that brought Eric here to step forward and say,
"Everyone, me and this guy had a bet on whether he would be able to recover the \'Blood Rose\' and take care of it, with quite the wager.
For that reason, I decided to give him 5 minutes to try, and he still has one minute according to my clock! Just wait one more minute, and you will be able to personally witness his end!"
These words managed to calm and satisfy the crowd, as they now looked at Eric as if he was nothing more but a cripple walking.
As for Eric himself, he didn\'t lose the smile on the corner of his face, he just looked at the people around him without much of an expression, before he suddenly seemed to fall into deep thoughts once again.
This time fortunately it didn\'t last more than a few seconds before he asked,
"Oh right, Mr. guard I remember that I told you the stakes of my bet, but you actually didn\'t say yours!
It couldn\'t be that you were hoping to take advantage of my good heart, were you!?"
Not only the guard, but even the whole crowd around was shocked at hearing Eric\'s words, as Eric actually approached the \'Blood Rose\'.
If at first, the guard was a bit afraid that Eric might truly win the bet, right now he was fully confident of his own win, as he said in an arrogant and overbearing tone,
"Hahahahahah~! You still think you can win the bet little shit!? Well anyway, since you want to play it like this, then I might humor you as well!
If you win, I am ready to give you 1 million dollars and leave my job! How about it!?"
The crowd couldn\'t help but get startled at the stakes that the guard placed, while Eric actually clicked his tongue while saying,
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It seems like that old adage is true, when one ascends then even his dogs and chickens will ascend!
To think that even a guard of the Long Family Mansion can fork out 1 million dollars! It just makes me even happier and more expectant of this new workplace!"
People didn\'t know what to think of these words, as they were more concerned about the fact whether Eric would be able to win the bet or not.
"Aaghh~! Damn~!"
They only saw him approach carefully, and try to touch its stalk a bit, when he actually touched on a thorn and couldn\'t help but curse!
Seeing that happen many people in the crowd looked at him with gloating expressions, as they thought that he got what he deserved.
Eric didn\'t seem to mind or care about the thoughts, ideas, and problems of the people around him as he was fully concentrated on what was in front of him.
Forgetting the displeasing experience of being pricked by the thorn, he actually started blowing some warm breath over the \'Blood Rose\'!
Such an action not only startled everyone around him, but many of them started thinking that he was actually a lunatic, an idiot without a sense of what he was doing.
It seemed like today the Long Family had been dupped by him. Such a person deserved to be in a mental hospital and under the intensive care of drugs.
The next instant after they thought like this, they got completely shocked, stunned, and stupefied. They couldn\'t even believe their own eyes, as they saw the flower actually get better visible to the naked eye.
Just what kind of sorcery was this!?
How was this even possible!?
How could such a flower recover so fast that it was visible by the naked eye, just because someone blew some warm breath at it!?
It felt like it was nothing but a big joke! A big joke that made all of them feel even worse than a big joke, while the guard\'s face was gloomy, dark, and ugly like seeing his own funeral.
This must be some kind of illusion, this had to be some kind of nightmare otherwise, how could it be possible!?
No, he refused to believe this was real! He refused to believe that he had lost his bet to Eric. He refused to believe that he had been taken for a fool.
"Yoouuu~! How dare you harm the precious flower of our lady for your personal benefit!? You are a truly blackhearted and criminal person!
Even killing you a thousand times isn\'t sufficient as punishment for what you have done! Men grab him and throw him to the dungeon, I will personally deal with him later!"
Fortunately, this guy was a quick thinker, and upon seeing that Eric was about to win their bet, he immediately started framing Eric and throwing him into the dungeons.
After all, in this place, the only authorities were him and the examiner. Everything would happen as they claimed it would, the rest could only follow them.
The gardeners on the line for the position understood this truth as well, each and every one of them knew that this was the guard\'s trap, but they didn\'t dare to voice their thoughts.
Who would dare to court death in this place? They all knew what kind of existence was the Long Family. In face of one of their own, the Long Family would easily deal with them properly.
"Everyone you have seen how this criminal managed to cast the antidote upon the flower, and help it recover. You are all witnesses to his sick scheme!
This guy needs to be hanged by his feet and lashed hundreds of times. Only like that can we only hope of punishing such a sick bastard that would even harm a harmless flower!"
While the crowd didn\'t say anything, they were all thinking to themselves,
\'Just how much more shameless can one be!? Isn\'t he ashamed of himself for the bullshit he was spouting!?\'
Forgetting about all the nonsensical and fake justice act, the fact remained that if Eric had actually managed to infiltrate the Long Family Mansion and poison the flower then it would be the security guards\' responsibility.
Furthermore what kind of poison would act so quickly on a flower. In fact, many of the gardeners in line still couldn\'t believe that the flower had recovered.
If it weren\'t for the weird situation, created they would have already started to question Eric about his method, and even prostrate and recognize him as a teacher if he so willed.
Eric himself didn\'t seem bothered by all this bullcrap, as he just heard everything with a calm and cool countenance.
"Right, right, Mr. Guard is certainly right! I am what he says I am, in fact, the one to have made the flower recover was Miss Wei QingPing.
What other genius besides her would be able to do so!? Aren\'t I right Mr. Examiner!?"
Not only didn\'t Eric feel frightened by the current development, but he was even giving more ideas to the guard and the examiner.
While both of them felt that there was something wrong with Eric\'s words, they did like the idea to give credit to Wei QingPing, as the examiner said in a matter of fact voice,
"At least you understand your situation and can look at the matters appropriately! It\'s true that Miss Wei QingPing is the one to have saved and recovered this flower.
I will now announce with immediate effect that Miss Wei QingPing is the winner of this night, and she will be officially employed by the Long Family Mansion as our main gardener!"
The crowd was left with weird and complex expressions as they had never thought that even a sacred place like the Long Family Mansion would have such kind of rotten people.
They had neither the strength, wealth, nor ability to go against the big bully. So, they could only look at Eric in pity, as he had kicked a metallic plate today.
As for Eric himself, he just laughed in mockery towards the guard and the examiner, as he turned towards the guy who had just handcuffed his hands,
"Bro, sorry to trouble you but could you lead the route to the dungeon!?"
The said guard was stupefied by Eric\'s behavior, but he did do as he was told, while Eric followed behind. At one moment though he stopped and then said in a joking voice,
"Oh right, tomorrow when you come looking for me, bring me some nice breakfast!"
