“You bastard! There are so many women in Clovelly, yet you fancy a married woman? Didn’t you check her background before acting?” Aquila raged as he sat down and palmed his forehead.Suddenly, Esmeralda rushed in and saw her son kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. She screamed and ran to him tearfully. She then embraced him and stammered, "R-Ray, my dear boy...""Mom, you finally came. Dad would have beaten me to death if you hadn’t come." Ray started crying and acting spoiled when he saw his mother.Esmeralda glared at Aquila and scolded, "Aquila Brixford! Why are you beating our son? You can't deal with outsiders, so you take it out on him?"Aquila sighed helplessly and said, "Ask your rebellious son what he’s done. They’ve captured Ryder, and our family is facing an unprecedented crisis. Why would you still defend Ray?"Esmeralda ignored him and wiped her tears. She then pointed at Aquila and shouted, "He's just a guy with a little bit of strength. Do we fear him? Your se

While Xayne enjoyed his noodles, Frances was in a terrible mood from not sleeping well over the past few days. Her mood worsened when she saw Leslie harassing Stephanie.As an officer, she could not stand such behavior. She slammed the table and stood up, shouting, “Hey, dickhead! Let go of that girl!”Leslie was stunned as he turned to look at Frances with a hint of surprise. He grinned and said, “Oh, where’d you come from, beautiful? Why don’t you stop meddling in other people’s business and come on a date with me instead?”All four guys turned to Frances, captivated by her beauty.Frances was furious and could not bear Leslie’s insults. She wanted to charge in and beat him and his crew up, but Xayne held her back and said hushedly, “You’re a patrol officer. You can’t resort to vigilante justice. Let me handle this. I promise to do it lawfully.”Xayne stood up and stood before Frances. He smirked at the four big students and said, "Hey, kids, it’s not cool to bully women. I advi

Doug quickly said, "Frances, this kid is Mr. Lionel's son. He’s one of ours."He had already released Lesley at that moment. Frances was furious. "What do you mean, 'one of ours?!’ Doug, you're breaking the law! This guy harassed a student and insulted a law enforcement officer. We must take him in immediately!"Doug grimaced and pulled Frances aside, whispering fiercely, "Frances, I know you hate bullies, but Lesley is Mr. Lionel's son. If you arrest him now, you’ll offend Mr. Lionel. I’m not joking, got it?""Doug! You're a patrol officer, too. How can you bow to the powerful?" Frances looked displeased. She could not believe Doug would say such things, especially while in uniform.Doug sighed. "I understand that, but we have to be flexible sometimes. Besides, those girls didn't get hurt. I noticed Lesley was the one who got seriously injured. If we investigate this, your friend might get taken away. He could face charges for causing harm.""Xayne stepped in to stop Lesley and h

Doug narrowed his eyes and slammed the table. He stood up and shouted, "The audacity! What do you think this place is? Do you think you can threaten us?!"Xayne looked at him indifferently and said, "Eight minutes left."Doug shivered, suddenly feeling an intense chill emanating from Xayne. He had never encountered this type of feeling before. He began to doubt who Xayne was.While Doug was in deep thought, a colleague entered and whispered, “Mr. Doug, hurry up. Lesley’s getting impatient.”Doug frowned and said, "I know."At that moment, five minutes had already passed. Doug ordered his colleague, "Make him sign!"The colleague approached Xayne with a pre-prepared transcript, handed him a pen, and said sternly, "Sign it now."Xayne raised his brows and glared at the person. The man frowned and attempted to slap Xayne's head. However, Xayne suddenly grabbed the pen from the man and stabbed it into the man's palm.The man screamed in pain, retreating as he clutched his blood-soa

Immediately after, Cliff drew his gun and pointed it at Xayne, declaring, "Your actions give me the right to execute you!""Oh, really? Then go ahead and shoot," Xayne replied coldly while slowly approaching Cliff.The latter panicked as his gaze turned grim. “Stop! One more step, and I'll shoot!"When Xayne refused to halt, Cliff fired two shots. However, the latter was shocked when he realized Xayne had vanished. Soon after, Cliff realized his gun had somehow ended up with Xayne.Xayne aimed the gun at Cliff's head and asked, "Do you think I won't shoot?"This sentence sent shivers down Cliff's spine. He widened his eyes in terror and trembled, shouting. "Don't act recklessly! If you shoot, you’ll be murdering a patrol officer. It's a capital offense!"Bang!Suddenly, a gunshot echoed near Cliff’s forehead. Xayne's shot went straight past Cliff's eyebrow, hitting the wall and leaving a bullet hole. Cliff was so frightened that his legs went weak.Even though he had experience
