Dustin's phone suddenly rang on his way back to the Flame Dragon Dojo. Abigail's voice came through on the other side of the line when he answered. Her tone was anxious as soon as she spoke. "Sir, things are not good! There's some trouble at home!""What kind of trouble?" Dustin's forehead creased slightly with worry."I'm not sure of the exact situation, but there are a lot of people outside our house and two excavators. It seems like they are going to forcibly demolish our house.""Forced demolition? That's going overboard!" Dustin's expression darkened. "Try to hold them back; I'll be there immediately.""It's no use; they're starting—!" While Abigail was speaking, she seemed to notice something and cried out, "You bastards, how dare you lay a hand on my father! I'm not going to let you off!""Abigail, don't be rash!" Dustin tried to warn her, but she had already hung up. As they were clearly in danger, Dustin didn't hesitate when he turned the car around and sped toward Cent
"Good job; you gave them a good beating!""These bullies who only pick on the weak deserve to be punished!"The onlookers, who were all Abigail's neighbors, cheered and applauded when they saw that Abigail had won. They were often bullied by the gangsters and finally felt avenged. "Abigail, you're too impulsive. You shouldn't have laid a hand on these people!" At that moment, Mr. Robinson limped forward, his face etched with worry."Why can't I? They're bullying us. Do you want me to just take this sitting down?" Abigail frowned. She thought her courageous act would earn her father's praise. She didn't expect him to reprimand her instead. "Abigail, you're too young. You don't understand how evil society is. These men have people backing them. The situation will only worsen since you beat them up." Mr. Robinson had a pained expression."So what if they have someone backing them? Do you think I'm afraid? Not to mention, if I hadn't acted, would our house still be standing here?"
Abigail was shocked by how easily he had broken the baseball bat. It was thicker than her arm, for goodness sake! And that person had just snapped it in half like it was nothing? This man must be ridiculously strong!"Is that all you've got? How dare you attack my boss when you're so weak?" One of the bodyguards sneered disdainfully and sent a kick straight to Abigail's abdomen. Abigail was sent flying into the air and landed heavily on her back, almost 10 feet away. Blood trickled down from the corners of her lips, and for a moment, she could not even get up. She was all out of internal energy, and her body was exerted beyond its limits. She had no strength left to fight back. But her gaze was still firm; it was obvious she wasn't ready to admit defeat."Oi, bitch! Don't you ever, for a single second, think that you can pull this kind of shit with me just because you practice some martial arts! I am from the Charging Tiger gang, and we have countless experts among us. Defeating a
"Hey, punk! Where did you come from? How dare you meddle with my business!" Chad glared at him. He had yet to come across someone who did not tremble at the name of the Charging Tiger gang, but here was this insolent bastard who stood up for others and went against him. Did he have a death wish? "You will pay back 10 times what the house is worth for demolishing it against their will. And whoever struck them, chop your hand yourself. If you do what I say, I'll consider letting you go," Dustin said nonchalantly."Let us go?" Chad cackled and looked at Dustin like he was an idiot. "Hey buddy, do you even know what you're saying? Go, take a look in the mirror, man! You're not a hero, and you damn sure ain't going to be saving the damsel in distress today!""Where did this impulsive lad come from? Where did he get the courage to interfere with the Charging Tiger gang? Does he have no fear?" "I applaud him for his bravery, but he must not be too bright to be doing something like that!
"Why are you getting on your knees, Mr. Robinson?" Dustin was surprised by the sudden turn of events and quickly reached out to help him up. Though Mr. Robinson was just a regular civilian, Dustin had always viewed him as an elder who deserved respect."Mr. Rhys, I know that you're trying to defend us, but while you may be able to protect us this time, you won't be here to protect us forever." Mr. Robinson continued, "Using violence against violence will never solve the problem. Why don't we all take a step back? I don't mind suffering a little unfairness in life as long as we can continue on with our lives."Dustin was rendered speechless when he heard what Mr. Robinson said. When he put himself in Mr. Robinson's shoes, he had to admit that what Mr. Robinson said made a lot of sense. Dustin might be able to help them out this once, but he wouldn't be able to be there to help them out all the time. Peasants had their way of life. Since they could not afford to offend anyone, they h
Caught off guard, Chad stood frozen in place before he could react. When the pain finally hit him, he reached up to touch his head, only to find his hand covered in blood. There was a huge wound on his head!"You—How dare you hit me?" Chad stared at Abigail in shock and anger. "You are done for! All of you are! I'll—" A hard slap from Dustin shut him up and sent him sprawling to the ground. For a moment, Chad saw stars and bled from both his nose and mouth. Even two of his teeth were knocked out of his mouth."100 slaps, was it? Fine. We can do that." Dustin grabbed a fistful of Chad's hair and lifted him off his feet. Then, a torrent of slaps rained down on Chad's face continuously. Following a series of sharp slapping sounds, Chad's face became red and swollen, and he was on the brink of losing consciousness.Shocked by Dustin's violent assault, the onlookers gaped in terror. The person who was being beaten up was the son of the leader of the Charging Tiger gang! A person whose po
"Who would have guessed that the Charging Tiger gang would get here so fast? The young man's in deep trouble now!" "Well, he deserves it. I mean, why did he have to go and offend the son of their leader?" "Exactly. We, common folks, have our way of life. If he didn't have the power, then he should have laid low. See, now even his life is in danger." The crowd looked at Dustin as if he were already a dead man. The Charging Tiger gang had always been known for their arrogance and vengefulness. Anyone who offended them met a tragic fate—they'd either go bankrupt, or their family would suffer great tragedy. There has never been an instance like today, where the son of their leader had been beaten up, and so brutally, at that. Even when an ordinary gang member experienced injustice, the gang would go all out to demand a payback. So, now that it happened to their leader's son, it was inevitable that Dustin and the Robinsons' would bear the full wrath of the Charging Tiger gang. "Oh n
When Chad saw his father, he immediately ran over to him, stumbling as he went. He looked like a real mess; his face was swollen and bruised, and blood trickled down his mouth. "How did you end up like this?" Felix frowned, his expression darkening. As a leader of one of the four largest gangs in Millsburg, he was considered an underground overlord. His son had always been the bully, never the other way around. Now that his son has been messed with, it went without saying that he was fuming. "I didn't have a choice, Dad! I ran into the greatest idiot today who had zero respect for the Charging Tiger gang! He attacked me out of the blue! Look what he did to me! Look at my face! You have to get revenge for me!" Chad wailed miserably as he ratted on Dustin. "Who's the insolent bastard who dared to underestimate the power of the Charging Tiger gang?" Felix snarled."It's him!" Chad pointed his finger at Dustin and said, "He slapped me over and over! My head is still buzzing from the
