Hannah was completely stunned.
Her proud personality made her feel a level of humiliation she had never experienced before. But when she tried to throw out a harsh remark, she realized she didn't have the strength to back it up.
Duncan's and Wilson's expressions were also in constant flux. They were both inwardly frustrated, their faces burning with embarrassment as if they had been scorched by fire.
Jack's identity had clearly surpassed theirs.
Especially his role as the owner of Drakengard Games, which made their earlier mocking seem utterly hollow and powerless. In fact, they felt like the real joke now.
Suddenly, Wilson shouted in anger, "So what if you own Drakengard Games? My parents are involved in Ace Group, which is listed on the Growth Enterprise Market, worth ten billion! It's way bigger than your unlisted Drakengard Games!"
In the face of his inability to compete with Jack, Wilson tried to pull in his relatives for support.
The crowd reacted with surprised glances. They hadn't expected Wilson's parents to be involved with the decision-makers at Ace Group.
"Worthless!" Jack spat coldly. He had no respect for people who tried to ride on their relatives' coattails to boost their own worth, and he didn't even spare them a glance.
Being ignored like this pushed Wilson to a boiling point. "You bastard! What did you just say?"
"I said you're worthless. What's the matter, still hiding behind your parents at your age? Are you still nursing from the teat?" Jack's disdain and contempt were almost palpable, making Wilson seethe with rage.
Bella anxiously grabbed Jack's hand, fearing that Wilson might attack him. But no one dared to intervene.
After Jack's earlier display of strength against Wilson and Duncan, everyone was already intimidated.
Moreover, the energy Jack was exuding at that moment made everyone feel as if they should bow down to him.
Finally, in his fury, Wilson threw a punch at Jack, and Duncan, eager to please, also rushed in from the other side to attack.
