Allegra opened her eyes warily just in time to see Allen walking toward them, the rest of the Mercks trailing behind him.The three loud slaps a while ago gave her a tremendous shock, so when she saw them, she grasped Isaac’s hand unknowingly.Everyone, including Sean, was baffled.“This is the end for them both!” Edward growled, his eyes bloodshot.However, what Allen did next shocked everyone greatly.He stopped in front of Allegra and dropped down on his knees.The other members of the Merck family followed suit, all looking distressed.Allegra sat upright in her seat, her hand flew to her mouth, startled.“What in the world is Mr. Merck doing? Has he gone nuts?” Edward tugged at his hair like a crazed man.The Merck family, down on their knees, what an astounding sight!“Oh, beautiful Allegra, it’s my fault. It’s all my doing. Please forgive me. Please spare the Merck family!” Allen started crying.The Merck family lost their financial resources, clients, and even proper
Sean scowled and kicked Allen in the face.“Allen Merck, you untrustworthy bastard! Bankrupt! Are you telling me what I endured was all for nothing?”Sean left a shoe print on Allen’s face. When Allen finally looked up, his eyes were blood red. He cackled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Nox. As long as I’m alive, I’ll surely torture those two rascals. Whatever I owe you, I’ll—”“To hell with you!” Sean kicked Allen once more, right on his chest, and left in a hurry.After Alec saw the guests off, he went back in, where the Gould and the Booth family were waiting.“Tsk, shameless bitch. Never thought she could hook up with the Kane family,” Edward chided.“Don‘t say that, Edward. After all, Allegra is my granddaughter. We’re undeserving of her now that she has gained fame and riches.” Alec smiled sarcastically.Margaret frowned. She hesitated and commented, “Father, based on my understanding of her, I don’t think Allegra would hook up with someone much older than her. She could even
Isaac kept quiet. However, Allegra sensed something out of place.Why would the head of the Kane family, who was well-known throughout Southland, be so cautious around Isaac?Watson left after a while. Before leaving, he invited Allegra over for a meal the next day. Allegra was surprised to receive the invitation.“Isaac, did Mr. Kane just invite us to his house tomorrow?” asked Allegra, looking surprised.“Let’s accept his invitation and go for a tour around the provincial capital after that,” replied Isaac, smiling.Allegra suddenly remembered her intention. She exclaimed, “Your friend, Bob, is really something. Quick, give him a call and invite him over for dinner.”She gave Beefy Bob all the credit for what happened. And, of course, Isaac was not interested in revealing the truth.Beefy Bob arrived at dinnertime. Nevertheless, he looked like he had ants in his pants throughout dinner. He did not eat much and sweated a lot.It was because of Allegra’s attitude. She treated h
“Bella, can you tell me how you got your wounds? You know I’m pretty good at fighting. I can help you teach a lesson to those who bullied you. But you have to tell me what happened.” Isaac kneeled in front of Isabella.Isabella sobbed as she said, “The teacher hit me. H—He said that was my punishment because I could not finish running three miles. Th—The teacher hit many of my friends. B—But, nobody dared to say anything.”Isaac frowned deeper. He carried Isabella in his arms and left the house.Carmine Elementary School had a tranquil environment. Isaac led Isabella and Allegra straight to the school office.Mia Carling, the head teacher, was a bespectacled woman in her middle age. She looked calm as she listened to Isaac.“Mr. Owens is a relatively young teacher. He may have been too energetic and increased the physical training load to new heights. But, this works well to discover hidden potentials in our children.”“But it’s never heard of for children aged six or seven to fi
“Who are you to discipline me? Do you even know who I am?” Charles was momentarily stunned. Then, he pointed his finger at Isaac’s nose, smirking.Isaac seized his finger and bent it upward.“Argh! Ouch!” Charles did not expect Isaac to have this agility and strength.The pain was too unbearable for him to remain standing.“Enlighten me.” Isaac pushed, and Charles staggered. Charles tried to shake off the pain. He thought he was merely caught off guard.He yelled furiously, “I am Charles Owens, the fourth generation of the Owens family to enroll in the military. My grandfather fought in the self-defensive counterattack war as one of the guardsmen. I joined the army when I was eight! How dare you challenge me? I will make you regret your decision!”As the atmosphere grew more intense, Allegra’s heart throbbed faster. She tugged Isaac and said rapidly, “It’s okay. Let’s go.”Isaac gave Allegra a soothing look before kneeling and asked Isabella, “Isabella, how did he hit you? Tell
“I love getting myself into trouble. Come on.”“Sir, you don’t know Mr. Owens’ identity, do you? I advise you not to act rashly. Children will recover in a few days, leaving no scar,” said a bespectacled man to Isaac.“That’s right. Nothing good will come out of it if you go up against Charles.”Isaac ignored them. He held Isabella’s hand and said, “Isabella, remember this. If someone bullies you, don’t hold it in. Find ways to regain your dignity instead.”They went to the field.The sun was slowly emerging. On the empty field, Isaac and Charles stood facing each other. The parents and several men wearing combat uniforms stood in a circle around them.“Alright! I won’t go easy this—”There was a swooshing sound as Isaac swooped forward like lightning. A slap landed on Charles’ face.“I wasn’t ready, you bastard.” Charles flew into a rage. He swung his fists toward Isaac.Isaac dodged Charles’ punches and returned him with an uppercut punch. Charles shrieked and fell a few ste
The leather belt was sturdy and long. Isaac whipped Charles without hesitating.The onlooking parents inhaled sharply, but most of them beamed with delight.“According to you, this is not abuse, but this is just me disciplining you, am I right? Have a taste of your own medicine!”Isaac whipped Charles for a second time, and Charles’ uniform ripped open. A red mark appeared on Charles’ exposed skin.“Argh! I—It’s painful, you bastard! I swear—”Isaac whipped Charles again.“Remember this feeling. The pain is how it feels when you whip children as young as six or seven years old. I’m sorry if I hurt you, as I can’t control my strength,” said Isaac as another whip landed on Charles’ body.Charles howled in pain with every whip.Mia’s face was as white as chalk. Her hands trembled as she called her superior. She was scared Charles would lose his life if this incident went unreported.Carmine Elementary School had never seen someone this violent for decades!At the sixth whip, Cha
“Nonsense! You scoundrel, who dares to accuse me of abusing their children?” yelled Charles. He was leaning on someone else’s shoulder for support.The onlooking parents muttered among themselves, but eventually, no one spoke up.Isaac snorted and said to the parents, “Listen up. We are all parents to our children. Your family backgrounds are decent enough to send your children to this school. Have you ever thought about the trauma your children will have after getting beaten up for no apparent reason at a very young age? They will grow up with the trauma of being powerless to retaliate whenever they get bullied. Because of your cowardice, they will suffer from psychological trauma and perhaps grow up dysfunctional. Who else is the culprit but you? Think hard about it.”Isaac made his point clear. The parents lowered their heads. Some of them sighed, while some of them wept.Suddenly, one of them looked up at Charles with reddened eyes and said, furious, “I have a complaint to make
