How surprised they both were when they saw two figures coming. Carson immediately ran to Alisson and pulled her into a hug. His face showed great anxiety.
Alisson stared at her husband's face with an incredulous look. A small smile spread across his face. Her expression was filled with hope. "You... you're back?"
Alisson's voice sounded hoarse. Carson stared at Alisson's face with a complicated look. His heart ached when he saw his wife's scarred face.
Carson nodded. "I came."
He stroked Alisson's face and smoothed his wife's messy hair.
"I'm sorry," he said guiltily. "I'm sorry."
Alisson couldn't hold back her tears. She tried to smile. However, her smile was not so clear because her face had swollen. Her feelings at the moment were complicated. She was so happy that Carson had returned safely. However, on the other hand, she also felt unfortunate because her current condition was very messy.
"Carson ...." Slowly, Alisson closed her eyes. She was losing consciousness.
Carson's body trembled as his wife lost consciousness. A wave of anger exploded in her heart. He carried Alisson's body and laid her on the bed. Carson took off his leather coat and covered his wife's exposed body.
Carson stood up and continued to watch Alisson's face with guilt. He was the cause of her going through all of this. If he had come earlier, Alisson would not have gotten this badly injured.
When he saw Carson's back moving up and down, Joel swallowed harshly. Although Carson was only a tiny military officer, surviving on the battlefield for five years must have made Carson have fighting skills, even if only a little.
Carson gritted his teeth and turned his head, glaring at Joel. He walked over to Joel and slapped him across the face.
A loud sound resonated in the room. Joel's face turned red, and his head felt dizzy. Joel staggered and fell on the floor.
When he spat, two teeth mixed with blood came out of his mouth.
Joel glared at Carson. "Damn it!" he shouted, though his voice was unclear.
He intended to get up, but Carson quickly slammed his knee into Joel's face.
"Argh!" Joel whimpered in pain. His two front teeth were broken again. His nose was also bleeding fresh blood. "How dare you?!"
Fear began to creep into Joel's heart. The man in front of him was powerful.
At the same time, Joel also felt confused. He was sure that some time ago, Carson was not in South River, but in just hours, he had appeared in this place.
"Insolent! You don't know who I am?" Joel snapped. He tried to use his identity to bully Carson.
However, that didn't change anything because Carson didn't care. He grabbed Joel's hair and slapped him hard.
"Coward! Asshole!" Joel looked at Carson with a hateful gaze. He then shouted, "I swear I'll fuck your wife in front of you!"
Hearing that his wife's honor had been desecrated again, Carson became even angrier. Joel's words were like fuel poured on the fire, making it flare up even more.
The man saw Alisson in a deplorable state. He loved Alisson so much that it made him grab Joel's hair.Carson raised his hand and slapped Joel's face with the back of his hand. He repeated it so often that Joel's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Even that wasn't enough. When Joel tried to crawl from there, Carson kicked Joel's leg, making the man whimper until he coughed.
"You... son of a bitch."Joel squeezed his hand tightly. His eyes had glazed over, but that did not satisfy Carson
The jerk used all his strength to talk. Although his body was trained, he was like a chicken in front of Carson.
"That son of a bitch is you. You dare to touch your wife." Carson quickly smashed Joel's head repeatedly.
Joel's skull cracked, but Carson didn't stop the action. With the strength of a hammer, he hit Joel's head again.
Although blood flowed from the wound on Joel's head, Carson did not stop his actions. He banged again and then slapped Joel, whose cheeks were already swollen.
"Stop it..” Joel begged. He couldn't take another punch.
His body trembled violently. He had never been in such a position. Because of the blow, his head felt like it was being stabbed, and Carson pulled his hair. Although he had been practicing martial arts, it was worth nothing in front of Carson, who had fought hundreds of battles. With a punch to the ribs, Joel spit out a lot of blood.
Carson slammed him to the floor with just one hand.
"You still want to defile my wife, huh?" said Carson. He looked like he wanted to swallow Joel whole.
Joel felt goosebumps as Carson gave him a murderous look.
Joel curled up on the floor. He whimpered in pain. Blood continued to drip from his scarred face. In fact, his teeth slipped out of his gums. Joel cried out in fear. "My brother will kill you!"
"You think I'm scared?" challenged Carson.
The murderous aura that surrounded Carson gave Joel terror. "If you don't let me go, I guarantee your whole family will be destroyed!"
Carson snorted. "Just think of yourself."
"You're a coward. You're a military man who oppresses civilians!" said Joel. "If my brother finds out you hurt me this badly, he'll cut your body into a thousand pieces!"
Carson threw his cell phone. "Call your brother! If necessary, call all the Ramos family members to fight me!"
"You asked for it, yes." Joel quickly dialed his brother's cell phone number. He occasionally glanced at Carson to make sure that the man didn't attack him suddenly. "You'll regret it."
Joel saw that the call was connected. He deliberately activated the loudspeaker.
"Who is this?" The voice from the other side sounded harsh. It was the voice of Wayne, Joel's oldest brother.
"Brother! It's me!" Joel spoke immediately, his sentences not sounding clear.
"Joel? What happened to you?" Wayne was worried about his brother, who sounded injured. "Brother, someone beat me up!" Joel said, occasionally glancing at Carson with fear.
"Damn it! Who dares to bother my brother?" growled Wayne. "Where are you now?"
"I'm in my private room," Joel replied. "Don't forget, bring all our guards. He's solid!"
There was a harsh snort from Wayne's mouth. "You're the one who hurt my brother. Just wait. You'll be finished soon!"
The call was disconnected.
Carson immediately snatched his cell phone from Joel's hand and put it back.
"You'll be finished soon," Joel threatened. "My brother has many bodyguards on his side."
Carson laughed. "You will see later who will be the last person left."
Hearing that, Joel became worried. He was worried that his brother didn't bring all his bodyguards. However, when remembering some of Wayne's bodyguards who had above-average abilities made him calm down a little.
Carson stood up and returned to the side of Alisson, who was still unconscious. When he saw his wife's condition, his anger returned. He sat beside Alisson and gently grasped his wife's hand. "I won't let anyone hurt you again."
Hearing Carson's words, Joel couldn't help but smile. That line is so cliché. Any man would say that once they saw their woman being hurt, but in reality, they were the one causing the pain.
Fifteen minutes later, Wayne arrived with the entire Ramos family escort. He brought the entire bodyguard of forty people.
His face was still haughty when he first arrived. However, when he saw how badly Joel was hurt, his face instantly turned red with anger.
"Damn it!" Wayne shouted. "Guards, finish him off!" he ordered.
The bodyguards nodded and walked up to Carson with savage gazes. Some of them stretched their fingers.
"Only this much?" Carson laughed mockingly.
"What an arrogant ass." Wayne took offense at Carson's remark. "Although it's not much, they can kill you in one blow!"
"Get him!" Wayne ordered.
Ten people came forward and attacked Carson at once.
Carson dodged their blows with ease. Each blow knocked his victim unconscious.
Wayne swallowed when he saw his guards lying on the floor. He got goosebumps instantly. In less than a minute, his forty bodyguards were lying helpless. They had severe injuries.
"How could you?"
Wayne realized that his brother had mentioned the wrong person. The person who could overthrow so many people in seconds was no ordinary person. Wayne pointed at Carson with fear. A figure like the man before him could not be from Sout River. "Who are you?" "Who am I?" Carson pointed at himself. "Just ask your brother." Wayne glanced at his brother. "Who is he? Tell me the truth."Joel looked uneasy. He glanced at Carson with horror on his face. "He... he's Alisson's husband." "Bastard!" Wayne scolded. "You're making such a big deal out of a woman?!" he snapped. "Where's your mind?" he continued.Wayne became frustrated. He rubbed his face roughly. His face turned frantic. His arrogance disappeared like it never existed. "Stay there, don't come any closer!" said Wayne, who saw Carson walking towards him.Carson grinned. "Now you're scared, huh?" "Says who?" Wayne argued. Even so, his voice trembled with fear. In all his life, he had never seen anyone scarier than Carson. "If you
Roger Skylar is an essential figure in the dragon army. His name had echoed in this vast world, stirring the hearts of every opponent he faced. When he saw how Carson underestimated Roger, Sergio seemed to know a way out. The man before him must have been just an ordinary Centauri to not recognize a power like Roger Skylar. Sergio was too happy to laugh, but he was also in pain. He felt his sternum shatter, and Sergio was unable to even stand up. Wayne also dared not move from his place because Darwis was still watching him. He took his cell phone from his coat pocket and immediately called Roger Skylar. "Mr. Roger, you're in South River, right?" asked Sergio hopefully. He heard that Roger had just arrived in this city because he was going to attend the wedding of one of Holy Dragon General. "Yes, what is it?" came Roger's not-so-friendly voice to Sergio. "Sir, there are members of the military bothering me," Sergio complained in a pleading voice. "I told him you were my master,
Alisson's eyebrows twitched. Her forehead suddenly wrinkled. Slowly but surely, Alisson opened her eyes. She saw the figure she loved so much sitting in front of her and looking at her lovingly. "Even in dreams, you are so sweet," Alisson sneered. The smile that she always remembered, the smile that always appeared from the fragments of her dreams for the past six years. Six years after her husband left, there was no way he was coming back, right? Alisson buried her head back into the pillow. With a slightly rambling voice, Alisson added. "If you're only coming to leave again, don't ever show up in my life again." Carson's whole soul was in turmoil. Was Alisson so miserable that she couldn't believe this was real? Was she that miserable? Carson's heart shattered into tiny pieces. He felt he had failed as a husband. He gently caressed Alisson's face. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Carson shed his tears, but he quickly wiped them away. His voice was soft and filled with
Darwis had tracked the video sender's cell phone and provided Carson with the coordinates. In addition to the coordinates, Darwis also provided details of the property owner. Carson punched the steering wheel hard when he found out the house belonged to Lucy, his wife's cousin. He used Roger's jeep and drove it at high speed. With military plates and special sirens, all passing cars immediately pulled over and gave way. A text message with a link came in, followed by a short message written by Darwis.“General, mayday! Look." Carson immediately pressed the link connected to the live broadcast on social media. His anger peaked when he saw the contents of the video. Meanwhile, Lucy forcibly brought Charlotte to the rooftop of her house. Her little bare feet stepped onto the house's rooftop, which was hot from the summer sun. Lucy forced Charlotte to walk barefoot even though the child looked in pain. Then, she tied Charlotte to a chair. The child's face was slightly swollen and red
"Savage!" Carson immediately ran over to Lucy and slapped her hard. Lucy, who was busy greeting her audience, did not notice Carson's arrival. "Bastard!" cursed Lucy, holding her cheeks that were red from Carson's slap. Carson kicked the cell phone used for live broadcasting and destroyed it instantly. "Who are you to slap me!" Lucy shouted angrily. She was the daughter of the Baker family, raised in comfort and security. Not a single person dared to treat her badly. Carson ignored Lucy's question. He walked over to Charlotte and looked at the child's condition. "Lotte... dear ...." Part of Charlotte's face was crushed, and her head was also bleeding. Carson's heart broke when he saw how bad his daughter's condition was. He took off his shirt and used it to bandage the wound on his daughter's head. "Hang in there, baby." He said. Carson looked at his daughter with regret. If only he had arrived earlier, his daughter would not have been injured like this. A wave of anger exp
Charlotte's eyebrows quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned to see a strange man sitting in front of her. Charlotte tried to get up, but her whole body ached. Charlotte initially felt a little scared, but when she remembered that the figure in front of her was her helper, her fear instantly disappeared. She then asked, "Uncle ... did you help me?" Charlotte asked. Her voice was so weak. "Thank you," she continued.Seeing Charlotte finally wake up after a period of unconsciousness, Carson felt very happy. However, when he heard his daughter call him uncle, Carson was so sad. He took Charlotte's hand and touched it gently. "Dear Lotte, this is Daddy," Carson said. He smiled with emotion. He couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears. His heart was filled with happiness when he finally met his daughter. The expected meeting would be filled with joy, but instead, he had to see his daughter, who was seriously injured. "Sorry... I'm sorry." Charlotte was shocked to
After medical treatment, Charlotte's condition improved somewhat. Seeing her daughter in pain while being treated it hit Carson hard. Charlotte's words were still ringing in Carson's head. He promised himself that he would protect Charlotte with everything he had. Even Heaven would fight Carson if it were to protect his beloved daughter. "I'm going home with my daughter and wife first. You drop us off.""Yes, sir." Darwis nodded, and he agreed. He went down first to prepare the car to take Carson's little family.After giving orders to Darwis, Carson approached Alison and Charlotte again. "Who was that man?" Alison asked. She was curious why the man was always helping them."He was my friend in the military. "We are good friends." Carson lied a little. "Really?" Alison was a little sceptical."I'm not lying. Come on, let's go home." Carson invited Alison to go home. Alison nodded. She got up, and Alison winced slightly as she felt her body still sore. She helped Charlotte to get
"You're ...." Paula just wanted to scold Carson. She still hasn't forgiven Carson for what happened in the past six years. It's just that suddenly the phone rang. Paula didn't finish her sentence and chose to pick up the ringing telephone. When she heard the one word that came out of it. Paula's heart immediately beat faster. Sweat dripped from her forehead slowly. Paula even fell silent for a minute. Her face looked pale and panicked. "Did you hear what I said?" The voice on the other side of the phone snapped at Paula. The person on the other end was angry that Paula was not responding. The woman on the phone was Alison's grandmother or Paula's mother in law. Her name was Nora. Paula swallowed. She calmed herself down first before answering. "Yes, I heard that, ma'am." "That's good. You should come here now because Mr. Marshal’s wedding has been advanced to tomorrow. Hurry up, I don't have time." Nora lowered her tone slightly after Paula's reply, but in part about asking Pa
