Warwick shook with anger. Everyone from the Owens family was mourning his son’s death, but this bastard did not bother hiding his glee.“Elder Thomas, I won’t ever forgive myself if I allow this bastard to live another day.”Elder Thomas gave him a reassuring look. Then, he pointed at Isaac and scolded, “Garten! You are guilty of injuring my students and mutilating Charles. Today, I’m here in the name of justice to punish you as you deserve.”In the name of justice?Isaac noticed the hem of Elder Thomas’ robe was flapping even though there was no wind. He sensed Elder Thomas’ spiritual energy emanating from him. Isaac stood and laughed. “How can the likes of you represent justice? Hey, old man. Here’s a piece of advice. It’s not too late to take back what you said. Those who brag about being just are usually the first to get hurt.”Elder Thomas squinted. He furrowed his brows and hollered, “You’re playing with fire.”With a powerful leap, Elder Thomas lunged at Isaac like a missi
Warwick’s eyes widened. “Goodness! How are you feeling now?”“It’s bearable, so don’t worry. I won’t break my promise to you. I, Daryl Thomas, will definitely take him down,” Elder Thomas assured. Only he knew how difficult it was going to be.Eli was right about Isaac—Isaac was not ordinary at all. Since Elder Thomas made a promise to the Owens family, he decided that he would go after Isaac again only when he was ready.The Owens family was the main source of income for the Divine Fists School. They must maintain their reputation.Warwick was relieved to hear Elder Thomas’ determination. He gritted his teeth. “Thanks in advance. When my brother returns, I’ll remind him to visit you and Mr. Hawkins.”As night fell, crowds swarmed the pedestrian streets in Aurum County.Harper, Emma, and Serena had just exited a mall. Emma’s hands were full of new clothing Serena had bought for her.Although they were not branded clothes, Emma felt happy all the same. She could not remember the
Serena was startled. She turned, and as soon as she saw Wilson walking toward her with his bodyguards, she leaned closer to the wall in fright.Seeing Serena looking around in bewilderment, Wilson laughed. “Stop looking around. Are you wondering why there’s no one else here? It’s because I reserved the whole place! Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”“Dad! Mum!” Serena looked toward the entrance.Her parents had just left. She hoped they could hear her.“Seemed like your parents left with their friend. There’s no point shouting—they can’t hear you.” Wilson looked proud of himself.Serena was overwhelmed by fear. She pulled out her phone and attempted to call for help.Wilson lunged at her and snatched her phone away. He threw the phone on the ground and stomped on it until it cracked.“What… do you want from me? Stay where you are!” Serena was on the verge of bursting into tears. She could see the lust in Wilson’s eyes.“What do I want? I want to be your boyfriend, to be nearer to y
"Let her be, freaking bitch. Let's go." Wilson snorted and went back to his car.Allegra was home late after registering her new company. There was still tons of work to do. She was exhausted.She was about to take her bath when she received a call."Is this Ms. Allegra Booth? Do you have a cousin named Serena Booth? She is currently admitted at Aurum Grace Hospital due to drowning. You should come now."Allegra was horrified. She changed her shoes and ran out."Ally, where are you going at this hour?" Eugene came out of his room."Serena drowned in a river. The hospital gave me a call—I'm going to check on her."Eugene was dazed. "I thought she went on a shopping spree with her family. How did she end up in a river? Hey, don't go alone. Get Isaac to go with you; he's making a call outside." Eugene advised, "It's not safe for you to drive alone at night."Isaac was making an international call and hung up immediately when he heard Allegra. They drove off in Allegra's new car.
Isaac went back. His eyes met Serena's as soon as he opened the door."Mister, I'm afraid." Serena bit her lips, tears welling in her eyes."Silly girl. He's just a thug. There's nothing to be afraid of." Isaac patted her shoulder.Serena lowered her voice, "Wilson reserved the whole cafe before my parents and I entered. I have no idea how he found out.""He reserved the whole place?" Isaac frowned.If so, there were only two possibilities; either Wilson had been stalking Serena for some time, or someone aware of Serena's plans had leaked her whereabouts to Wilson. The first scenario seemed less likely as Wilson could have acted whenever Serena was alone. Therefore, the second scenario was more plausible.Suddenly, Isaac thought of Margaret. Harper mentioned bringing Emma to the provincial capital during lunchtime."Stop worrying. I'll talk with him and demand an apology." Isaac broke out of his thoughts and smiled softly.Serena shook her hands violently. "Don't go, mister.
Isaac slapped Wilson again. Blood spurted from Wilson's nose as he fell onto the bed."Since it's your territory, everyone here should know you well, Mr. Kenne!" Isaac chuckled.Wilson's hair stood on end when he saw Isaac's smile. He was fearful. "Wh—what do you want? You'd better think thrice before you do anything, Isaac—"Isaac slapped him again."Shut up!"Wilson almost blacked out from the third slap. There was a sudden pain on his scalp as Isaac tugged his hair.Isaac dragged Wilson along by his hair all the way to the living room. He found a piece of cardboard and a pen and thrust them in front of Wilson."Write 'I am Wilson Kenne and I am a son of a bitch.'""Over my dead body! Ouch!" Wilson screamed.Isaac treaded on Wilson's ankle and pressed down harder.Wilson cried out for mercy, "Okay! Okay! I'll write it. Let me go!"Under pressure, Wilson wrote what was asked of him in horrible writing.Then, Isaac made Wilson take the cardboard as he dragged him out.Isaa
Wilson's body was as stiff as a board as he looked up at Serena. Voice raspy, he apologized, "I—I'm sorry.""I don't need your apology, jerk," Serena scolded before walking away.After Isaac and Serena left, Wilson stood up slowly. His face twisted into a menacing expression as he gasped for air."One more look from you, and I'll hunt your families down. Scram!" Wilson screamed at the onlookers hysterically.The onlookers backed up, terrified.At this moment, several black cars swooped into the hospital.The first car was a Range Rover. Behind it was a stretched Maybach and three Audis.The cars stopped right at the entrance. Twenty men in suits hurried toward Wilson. Mr. Bleu, in a black velvet robe, got off the Maybach, followed by Horace in a gray suit."Isn't that the King of Aurum County, Horace Kenne?""It is. I saw him once. Let's get out of his way. This man is intimidating."The guards pushed the crowd back.Horace and Mr. Bleu walked up to Wilson.Horace's mouth t
Edward judged the situation before him and started laughing. "You're truly amazing, Mr. Kenne! You must've enjoyed the night.""Hah! Yes, indeed." Wilson smiled coldly.Edward snickered as he presented the gift. "You must be tired. Here, I brought you some supplements. These are highly nutritional."Wilson took the gift box and thrust it on the floor. He stared at Edward before asking, "Eddy, did you do it on purpose?""What do you mean?" Edward realized something was not right."Guards! Beat him up!" Wilson bellowed. Five guards entered the room."Mr. Kenne, what is going on? Ouch!"The guards promptly started beating Edward up."Throw him out when you're done. Loser." Wilson spat and lay down on the bed.Half an hour later, Edward limped out of the villa covered in bruises. In the car, he pressed hard on his bleeding nose with one hand as he dialed Randall's number with the other.He was confused. Everything had gone well yesterday, but why was Mr. Kenne acting differently
