the sinful life of the emperor
Jack had no idea the blunder he has created by firing the young guard. He fired him since the guard didn't show his enemy Kiba in a bad light! Instead, he hurt his feelings by giving an unflattering account of his defeat!
How could Jack be not incensed?
An employee might suck in his job but even then he might retain his job if he is good at flattering his seniors!
It is the most basic human desire to be complimented and admired. This only increases when one has a high and lofty position. One might say one doesn't like to be complimented but in the heart, one always wants to be praised!
Otherwise, why would there be competition among women? Why would they spend money like water wearing new dresses at any event? It is because they want to be flattered! They want their vanity to be satisfied!
Similarly, man wants to be complimented as well! Why would men brag about the number of women they had? Or the duration they can last in the lovemaking? The accounts they say might be fictitious because all they want is to be admired! People waste their money just because they want to be complimented!
"Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like!"
Vanity was strong in everyone irrespective of gender or race! And vanity desire admiration from others! It only gets stronger in the high echelons of society.
The young guard instead acted against the desires of his boss' vanity! While Jack did think the young guard's behavior was strange, he didn't think much of it.
The world has no lack of senseless idiots who don't know what is better for them.
Alas, poor Jack had no idea how today's small incident would come to haunt him in the future. But that's a story for another day.
With the help of guards, Jack stood up. He was still feeling weak from the 'slap' earlier.
He wanted nothing more than slaughter Kiba in cold blood, but after the slapping incident, he knew he didn't stand a chance.
Still, how could he bear this anger?
He was born in a rich society with an unrivaled background in the city but now a guy without any background humiliated him one time after another!
Not only Kiba seduced his wife, but he even humiliated him in front of his sister and other high ranking officers of White Angel Corporation. If he let this go then he wouldn't be Jack!
"Kiba, just you wait. I will make you learn that no matter how powerful you are, it is useless in front of an entire Corporation!" Jack swore inside his heart," I will make you regret being born."
