Later that night.Gabe and Mia had already eaten outside, so they were full. Nevertheless, they sat down at the dinner table to talk with Bertha and her family.“Don’t take any food to Freddy,” Gabe told Carrie.“He can’t bear hunger,” Carrie said.“He’s not a child,” Gabe indifferently replied. “Let him starve a little. Let him experience some pain so that he’ll pay attention the next time we speak.”“I agree with Gabe,” Mia said, so there was nothing Carrie could do.“What about the maid?” Bertha asked. “After Freddy touched her, she ran out of the house and hasn’t come back. If she tells Russell Lynn what happened…” Just thinking about it made her heart race.Even Gabe and Mia didn’t want that to happen.“We will find her and talk with her,” Gabe said. “However, I think Freddy should also apologize to her. Otherwise, it will be hard for her to move on and act like nothing ever happened.”“If it’s just an apology, I will make Freddy apologize to her,” Carrie said, even though her eg

Bart had many fights in his life, but he was never beaten or humiliated like this before. He didn’t have any injuries on his torso, but only his face was beaten to a pulp. So, even talking and crying hurt him a lot, enough to make a grown man like him cry due to the pathetic state he was in.Gabe and Mia came downstairs and met Bart.Bart was not expecting to meet these two. He wanted to avoid them, but that didn’t happen.“Bart… aren’t you a strong man?” Mia asked him. “How could you get yourself beaten like this?”Bart could only lower his head in humiliation. “Please help me. I need 4 million dollars, Mia. Russell Lynn can arrange that for me, right? It’s not for free. I’ll pay him back eventually.”“Four million dollars?!” Mia’s eyes enlarged. “What the hell? You said as if it’s just four dollars. Nobody would give you that kind of money.”“Please, Mia. Even if I sell my company, I won’t get enough money,” Bart begged her. “Please help me just this once.”“If we help you, you’ll

“Hmph,” the bear-like man snorted and leaped forth at them. “I didn’t come here to see your drama. Just give me the damn ring!” He punched at them. “Terra Fist!”Mia wanted to block his attack, but Gabe reacted faster and countered with the knife-like thrust of his hand.BUDOOM~~!!The impact released a disturbing shockwave that didn’t destroy anything but still made even solid objects wave up and down like energy passing through sea waves. If both of them hadn’t contained their strength, especially the bear-like man, the neighborhood would have already been destroyed.Gabe’s own fist started turning into mud, shocking him as well as Mia.“K-Kya,” she cried out in horror. “Gabe! You arm!”The opponent did not give them a second to think. He tried to grab Gabe’s face. “NO!” Mia screamed, and it sent a shockwave that pushed the bear-man like man many steps away.“The heck?” The bear-like man was startled. (My body instinctively moved back from her scream?) His gaze shifted toward her.

“I can’t wait to have you iron my clothes, Logan!” Gabe quickly changed his words as he declared openly to Logan. “And your men will be mowing the lawn and catching any rodents that come in without permission!”Being compared with rodents made Logan’s men very angry, but some of them, the angry ones, were already fighting Ulf and were kept busy with his physical and verbal attacks.“This won’t end with your victory,” Logan slowly unsheathed his sword, “but with me tearing your tongue out by the roots, slitting your throat across, and then burying your body in the forgotten sands of a distant sea where there are no birds nor worms to ever feast on your rotting corpse. Your identity will be erased from this world. Nobody will remember you. In a few weeks, they will completely forget about you.”“A good way to threaten your opponent,” Gabe replied with a poised smile, “but I’m not a baby or an upstart for me to shiver in my boots, no, clothes after hearing your words. Logan.”Gabe knew

Logan leaped forth and twisted his sword anti-clockwise, creating a swirling energy that sought to devour her. “Heavenly Swan Devouring Dragonfly!”Mia tried blocking the attack, but it proved too strong, and the top half of her body was utterly burst into pieces.“Did Elder Logan win?” Logan’s underlings excitedly said.Logan, however, swiveled back.“Camouflage Shock!” Mia thrust her palm at him.Logan managed to thrust his sword just in time.The impact was equally strong because Logan didn’t have enough time to put energy into his thrust. However, he was able to release a pulsing energy through his sword that struck Mia’s palm and blew her away.“Krgh,” Mia somersaulted and safely landed in the distance. Her right hand was bleeding.Logan jumped at her and moved his sword in a zig-zag manner, creating a spark of lightning through his sword. “Ragged Swan Shock!”Like a bolt of lightning, his sword came straight at her face.She dodged just in time, but with a swift twist of his wris
