Irene couldn't stop sobbing for what seemed like some minutes. Alessia had to console her.“It's ok. You can talk now, and everything will be attended to,” Alessia assured her.Irene nodded once, finally wiping off the tears from her face.“Thank you so much. Last month, the government started an eminent domain plan. The Watson family was in charge of the relocation and resettlement work in their area. However, they underpaid the compensation to the community residents and resorted to violence to coerce them into signing agreements.”What!Kevin knew the Watson family so well. Though he was surprised that they could do such a thing. The Watson family were nothing some years ago. They gradually rose to the position, and not without his help. They have assured him countless times that they were going to make sure they fulfilled the people's desire.Kevin made sure they rose to the promotion. But he couldn't have imagined how they could have changed. Now, they were not only greedy; they
“I will make sure of that. No one will go unpunished,” Kevin promised.Irene's smile widened. “Bless you, Lord Phoenix!” She chanted.She felt a surge of happiness. She has been struck with sadness for a while now. She has even thought she was going to die, but at least she should save her daughter.Irene has suffered so much that, in fact, getting food was a problem for her. This was why she was starting to seem like a beggar.Thank goodness Howard woke up suddenly and wrote the note before he went unconscious again. Or what would she have done?Kevin dipped his hand into his pocket and retrieved his black card. He stretched it to Irene.Irene was shocked as she beheld the card. It was the black card from a prestigious bank.“Take it,” Kevin encouraged. “I have unlimited spending on it. Use it to cover the medical expenses.”Irene's hand shook as she took the card. “Thank you so much, Lord Phoenix,“ she expressed from the depths of her heart.Who would have thought that help would co
One of the men threw a punch at Kevin, which he dodged, swiftly moving around two more men who threw punches at him. He finally caught one of them and punched him in the jaw. The man shuddered and dropped to the floor.The men stopped slightly to look at the lifeless bodies of the men that were on the floor.Then they attacked again, at the same time. Kevin turned around quickly, dodging a punch and quickly punching another man beside him. The man went reeling back and landed on the front screen of the car.Kevin jumped up and kicked two guys, also sending them reeling backwards.Kevin moved swiftly and with expertise around the men, dodging each punch and giving his.No one could withstand Kevin's punch and kicks. They were left incapacitated and unable to move after. The three men moved backwards at once when they saw the situation of things. The other men were scattered here and there. Two were in the car, and it didn't even look like they were breathing.They feared for their liv
While the nurses prepared the VIP room, Irene and Alessia moved to the rooms that Lisa and Howard were initially in.Irene rushed inside the room.There were two beds beside each other, only separated by two chairs.Irene moved to the first bed, where Howard was. Alessia watched her from the door. She was so moved and sad by the situation. Howard seemed to be doing fine, in a vegetative state, but Lisa was heavy on the machine.“Excuse me,” Someone said behind Alessia, and she turned to the person. “The VIP room is ready. We will move them now.”Alessia nodded once and turned to Irene. “We should leave now and let them do their jobs,” he suggested.Irene nodded once and stepped back. “I just hope my daughter is alright.”“She will be; I'm sure of it,” Alessia assured. “But you need to get some food and get changed as well.”Irene shook her head briefly. “I'm not going to get anything until they start something, and I'm sure my family is doing well,” she said stubbornly.Alessia pulle
Everyone was shocked. The residents looked at Kevin, trying to see if they recognised him and wondering why he stepped out.The boss regarded Kevin for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. “Are you kidding me?”Kevin scoffed. “You know what lowlifes like you forget? That a good man will always remain no matter what!”The man huffed. “It looks like you are ready to fate the same fate as Howard. Everyone adjusted backwards. They were terrified and still feared for their lives, even though it seemed like there was suddenly someone like Howard.Kevin walked closer to him slowly. “The only one that will face any shit here is you,” he muttered, stopped walking as he was now standing right in front of the leader, and slapped him hard on the face.What!Everyone was shocked.The impact of the slap forced the man to the floor. He felt dizziness take over his form immediately, and his ear hurt as well. He placed his palm over his left cheek as pain coursed through him.What sort of slap
Kevin punched the man eventually and let him go. Jake kicked the last man in standing and hurried over to stand beside Kevin again.The hooligans were on the ground, writhing in pain.Kevin moved closer to the leader of the hooligans again. “I'm Kevin.”“Kevin! Kevin!” A young boy started to chant; soon the rest joined in.Jake smiled. He was happy. Kevin was truly the Lord Phoenix. His skills were unimaginable. He also had a pure and kind heart. He was irreplaceable. At that moment, the only thing he had in mind was to serve Kevin till he breathed his last.“What do you think you are doing?” the leader snapped, and everyone stopped chanting. “The Watson family will never let anyone off the hook. This young man has implicated the whole of you, and you will all be punished!” He yelled.Kevin slapped him again and shut him up with the next word he was about to say.The leader felt dizziness take over him again. He turned to the other side and tried to rub his aching cheek.“Is this how
“Hello Jack!” A rich baritone voice boomed. “How is the work going?” The voice asked happily. “So, has the matter been resolved? It should be by now because I have no time for long talks!”Kevin scoffed. “It looks like the Watson family needs to be taught a great lesson. I will do the honour. I will teach you the lesson you guys deserve!” He muttered coldly.“What!” The voice on the other end was shocked. “Who is this? Who are you?”Kevin ignored him and stretched the phone to Jake. “Tell your boss I will be coming for all of you!”Jack took the phone with shaking hands.“Did you hear that? Or do you want me to repeat it for you?” Kevin demanded suddenly, in a deep tone. He clenched his fist and swung it, almost hitting Jack but stopping almost immediately.“Yes!” Jack responded shakily.“Good! Watch your back!” He gave his last warning, turned around, and started to walk away.“You see that? You better don't dare!” Jake yelled as he hurried after Kevin, a wide smile on his face.He w
The residents praised Kevin until he got inside the car and Jake drove off. Kevin saw how happy and relieved they were. The people were strained already. The Watson family was just being greedy and deserved to be taught a great lesson.Kevin placed a call to Alessia. She picked it up immediately.“Hello Boss.”“Yes, how is it going at the hospital?”“Well, I've moved Howard and his daughter to the VIP room. And in fact, the doctors are currently attending to Lisa as we speak,” she explained.Kevin released a sigh. “Good. And the guy?”“He's safely in the basement of my house,” she assured.Kevin nodded slightly. “Good. I'm sorry, Alessia. It looks like we might have to postpone our lunch date. I will make it up to you soon,” he assured and hung up.He looked up at Jake. “Stop the car!” He said softly.Jake looked up, confused. “Is there a place you are going? I will drop you off.”“Where I am on doesn't concern you. I'm getting off the car. You should go back to Falcone State; there's
