The few teenage girls, looking around fifteen years old, lay on the ground in disarray.
They had excitedly held up support signs and posters, running to meet their idol, only to be treated so rudely. Seeing this made Berloff Reed's blood boil.
Moreover, the arrival area was packed with people. If someone fell, it could easily lead to a stampede.
These young girls, even if they were a bit overzealous in their fandom, shouldn't have to face life-threatening danger at their age.Berloff shouted angrily and took a few steps forward, kicking one of the bodyguards in the leg.
Thud!
The black-clad bodyguard, caught off guard, fell to his knees.
"Kid, you must have a death wish!"
The other bodyguards, seeing this, were furious and swung their fists at Berloff.
Unfortunately for them, while they seemed fierce, Berloff's body had been transformed by the system's "Rebirth Pill," making him far beyond the strength of ordinary people.
To outsiders, Sandra's bodyguards appeared to have sharp moves and powerful punches, but to Berloff, they moved in slow motion, like a movie replay.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Within seconds, Berloff had struck each bodyguard in their vital points, leaving them clutching their wounds and lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Ah..."
The scene was chaotic, with girls screaming and causing a commotion.
"Someone help! Sandra's bodyguard is being attacked!"
"Protect Sandra!"
"Call the police! There's a thug trying to get Sandra!"
As the situation spiraled out of control, Berloff Reed took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, shut up!"
His voice boomed like thunder, startling everyone into silence.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that no one was making a sound, Berloff snorted and stepped forward to help the girls who had fallen. His gentle and considerate actions immediately calmed the female fans.
Oh, so this guy wasn't here to hurt Sandra...
Wait, isn't he really handsome? He's just too good-looking!
At that moment, Sandra's short-haired manager, with a face full of vigilance, stepped in front of the star and yelled at Berloff.
"Who are you? Why are you acting crazy and attacking Sandra's security?"
The manager's overbearing attitude made it seem like Berloff was some heinous criminal.
Berloff couldn't help but laugh in frustration.
"And you have the nerve to talk? These girls are fans of Sandra and came to the airport just to support her."
"You guys just pushed someone to the ground!"
"With so many people around, do you know how dangerous that is?"
Sandra, looking annoyed, adjusted her sunglasses and muttered under her breath, "Those girls fell on their own!"
"So annoying!"
"Brinley, we have another event to attend soon!"
Her manager, Brinley, patted Sandra's small hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, it's just a minor issue. I'll handle it. We'll leave soon!"
The two whispered to each other, but only Berloff Reed, with his keen senses, could hear them.
Berloff frowned and let out a few cold laughs.
These so-called popular stars who don't even care about their fans are truly bizarre!
In this day and age, it seems like anyone can make money in the entertainment industry, Berloff thought, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Ahem!"
Brinley, with a quick glance around, put on a pretentious tone. "It was just an accident earlier."
"Our Sandra is about to participate in a free charity performance to help children in impoverished areas. Everyone was just a bit anxious."
"Sandra is such a kind person; she would never condone her staff hurting fans, right?"
Hearing this, many of the die-hard fans at the scene nodded vigorously, tears of emotion welling up in their eyes.
"Woo woo woo... My Sandra is just too kind-hearted. She flew all the way back from the film set for a charity performance!"
"My idol is so compassionate, and that guy dared to throw dirt on Sandra. It's infuriating!"
"Exactly! It was clearly an accident just now, but that jerk deliberately slandered Sandra. He must be a hater sent by a rival!"
"We must protect Sandra! We can't let this trash's scheme succeed!"
"If it weren't for the security guards, Sandra would have been beaten up by that scumbag on the spot!"
...
Berloff Reed stood there with his mouth wide open, completely dumbfounded.
What the heck!
These people are unbelievable!
The short-haired manager in front of him casually stirred the crowd, and the brainless fans immediately concocted a dramatic scene in their heads, painting Berloff as a villain sent by rivals.
As for the cold-hearted, selfish star Sandra, she was instantly transformed into a pure and innocent angel.
This brainwashing ability is truly something else!
Soon enough, led by the brainless fans,Sandra's female supporters at the scene started hurling insults at Berloff.
What hurt Berloff the most was that even the young girls he had just helped up were now glaring at him with hostility, as if he were their mortal enemy.
Tsk tsk!
This fan obsession is like a cult, making fans lose their basic sense of right and wrong. It's really scary!
Berloff Reed's face turned from pale to flushed, standing there silently, helpless.
His manager, Brinley, glanced at Berloff with a smug look, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
Kid, you think you can take me on?
You're still too green!
"Sandra, let's go. The TV station is waiting for us to make our appearance!"
Brinley cheerfully pulled Sandra along, heading towards the airport exit.
"As for this kid, leave a couple of staff members to cooperate with the police and make sure he spends a few days in custody."
"Daring to assault our security in broad daylight, he needs to learn that there's always someone stronger out there!"Hearing this, Sandra gave Berloff a disdainful look.
"Idiot!"
"You're asking for it!"
Berloff laughed in anger.
These guys, taking advantage and still acting all high and mighty, they really don't know their limits!
Brinley and Sandra were so arrogant because they thought Sandra was a top-tier star, and Berloff was just a naive good Samaritan.
With Sandra's team's influence in the entertainment industry, they believed they could crush Berloff until he was crying for mercy, with no way out.
What they didn't know was that Berloff Reed was not only a young millionaire but also the second-largest shareholder of the Acat Group.
To top it off, the charity performance that Sandra flew to Silk City to record today was co-hosted by Acat Group's online video platform and a TV station.
Offending Berloff Reed could lead to unexpected consequences for them!
...
Soon, Sandra, surrounded by staff and die-hard fans, strutted away from the scene.
Meanwhile, Berloff was escorted by the airport security officers to an office to deal with the scuffle involving a few bodyguards.
The surveillance footage clearly showed that Berloff was only trying to help and had no intention of causing harm.
Moreover, Berloff's actions were measured, leaving no visible injuries, so the airport security quickly released him, resolving the matter amicably.
Back at No. 11 Bund, Berloff's expression turned icy as he made a call to Deandre,the president of Acat Group.
"Hey, Deandre, I need your help with something."
