The boy, who appeared to be no older than ten, clenched his teeth angrily as he glared at the man before him.
"What is going on? What did the kid do?" A bystander asked."That kid dared to crush Moses Lake's golf ball simply because it hit him." Another person responded."He did? Tsk, then he's an insolent brat who deserves whatever he's going through!" A passerby chimed in.Dillon and Merlin listened to the conversation going on within the crowd and exchanged concerned looks.They noticed a basket filled with golf balls and markings on the road, indicating that Moses Lake had been playing golf there. Although the road was temporarily closed for construction, it was not intended to be used as a golf course by some arrogant bastardDillon had no idea who this Moses guy was, but he knew a rude and vile person when he saw them.Ignoring the ongoing chatter, Moses took another golf ball from someone nearby and placed it on the road, preparing to swing his club.He was a professional as the ball went straight to the kid's forehead. With the effort he used in swinging the club, it was clear that Moses intended to cause the boy serious harm.However, the ball never got to its target as Dillon suddenly appeared in front of the boy and caught it.Then meeting Moses Lake's eyes, he crushed the ball with a stoic look."What is it with people messing with Moses Lake today? Do they have a death wish?" Someone scoffed from the crowd."Even if they don't, it's an honor to be killed by him!" One of Moses Lake's fans muttered in admiration.An annoyed look came upon Moses' eyes as he looked Dillon over. Where did this bastard come from?He paid no attention to Dillon afterward as he took another ball and positioned it well.Almost immediately, two burly men who Dillon guessed to be Moses' bodyguards, walked towards him.They tried to touch Dillon, but the latter evaded them. Seeing this, Moses' eyes darkened as he issued the order, "If he moves again, break his legs."The bodyguards nodded and placed a hand on Dillon's shoulder. Unfortunately for him, Dillon held his hand, bent down a little and toppled him over his shoulder and before he could drop to the ground, he slammed his knee on the bodyguard's head, rendering him unconscious.When this happened, the second bodyguard took two steps backward while the crowd sucked in a deep breath."Who is he? Is he from a first tier family? How could he topple a man weighing up to 100 kilogrammes!" someone asked in awe."If he does belong to a top family, Moses Lake will know him. But the duo obviously haven't met before which means whichever family he comes from is below the Lake's family which means he is in a lot of trouble because Moses Lake is known for holding grudges!"Moses' eyebrow perked up in annoyance. He swung his golf club and placed it on his shoulder, then pursed his lips."What is it with you rich people and pride? If you keep doing that you're going to kill him." Dillon spoke out, not looking like he just blacked out a top boxer in less than ten seconds."Well, you made the wrong choice because you're going to die in my hands." Moses smiled halfheartedly, his eyes going to the unconscious man on the floor.He had spent a lot to hire that scumbag, but he was knocked unconscious by such a lanky trash like Dillon."I'll give any one of you who break his legs two million dollars!" Moses spoke to the other three bodyguards with him. He refused to believe Dillon's ability could let him take on three hefty men all at once.Even if he did beat one of them, the other two would grab and crush him before he knew it.Dillon stared straight at Moses and scoffed, seeing through him. He had boxed in some underground rings to earn money when he left the orphanage.He didn't win most times since the contestants often had improved strengths. His brain always knew what to do, but with no strength, it was impossible to win a fight no matter how smart he was.But now, he could feel the power coursing through his veins. His power had tremendously increased.Moses tore his eyes away from the scene as he reached for something beside him. Next time, this retard should know who to mess with!Krak! Krak! Krak!Those were the sounds Moses heard followed by grunts. He returned his attention back to the scene with a smug look.However, that smug look was wiped off his face when he saw the scene before him. The three boxing champions he had spent so much to procure, laid on the floor, unable to get up as Dillon had broken their right legs.But the scene didn't still deter him as he sneered and whipped out his phone to call a certain number. "Dad, I need your help. An idiot here has a death wish. Send me ten of your men.""Hey, you alright?" Dillon asked the boy.Meanwhile, the little boy stared up at him in awe and amazement. Like one who had seen his real life hero. But then found him extremely familiar."Are you Dillon Grendel?""Yes."Before Dillon could assimilate why the boy asked that, he rushed up to Dillon and hugged his leg, the only place he could reach."I'm Timothy Wolf! And I've been looking for you!" The little boy exclaimed happily, tightening his grip on Dillon's leg.Dillon tilted his head to the side in confusion. Even if he did have a child out of carelessness, that child wouldn't be this big, would he?Merlin rushed up to them in surprise. If not for the matter at hand, he would've taken the initiative to tease Dillon by asking if he had a child."Dillon, you should get out of here as soon as possible. The Lake family are a bunch of corrupt politicians. They have connections all over New York and will make your life miserable." Merlin said then paused when he recalled Dillon's new identity. "Okay, forget it. We'll just beat up whoever they send, right?"Just like Dillon, he too had taken an interest in boxing. But unlike Dillon who took the whole thing seriously as it was his way of earning money, Merlin merely used it to build up his body stature and get stronger.He had always enjoyed the thrill of beating up insolent people, but always refrained from doing so because of his family background. But now, the Grendel family would protect him. Hehe.At that moment, a bus drove into the place and ten people holding clubs rushed out of it and rounded the duo."Go down on your knees and apologize to me and maybe I'll tell them to break just your right legs." Moses spoke nonchalantly, like he was doing them a favour."Apologize to you, my foot! You idiot from the Lake family, you have no idea who you're messing with!" Timothy hissed, his iris turning into a darker shade of blue. Just like that of Dillon's.Dillon was dumbfounded. Did this boy's iris just turn to a darker shade of blue? Like mine? Moses was obviously angered by Timothy's words as he threateningly hit his golf club on the floor as he affirmed, “Since you three have a death wish, I'll grant it. After all, it's an honor to be killed by me.” He nodded at the group of men who had alighted from the boss. With their club, the men advanced towards Dillon, Timothy, and Merlin. Dillon quickly snapped out of his thought and glanced towards the men. The first person raised his club to hit Timothy, but Dillon reached out in time to stop him. With darkened eyes, he hissed, “No matter what, you should never hit kids with such tenacity!”Then he sent the thug flying towards the bus he came with. Such a show of strength stunned the rest of them, but when they thought of the advantage they had against Dillon and Merlin, they kept advancing towards them. Timothy, on the other hand, was prepared to take out anyone headed towards him, b
“I'll relay your message, young master.” Brayden nodded with a bow. “I noticed you got here in a taxi. I'd love to deliver any car of your choice to you. You just have to tell me which of them you want.” Dillon leaned forward and raised two fingers, “I want two cars. A Bugatti Veyron and a Jaguar XJ220. Deliver the Jaguar as soon as possible.” Brayden, who had taken out his phone to write down the cars Dillon called, paused and glanced up at Dillon. “Young master, the Jaguar you mentioned isn't an expensive car. Are you sure you don't mean to imply something else?” “The Jaguar is extremely fast and sleek, and it sells for a little amount compared to the rest of it. Besides, I'll be taking it with me wherever I go and since I would rather not be the center of attention by pulling up in a car worth more than ten million dollars, the Jaguar is a perfect fit.” Dillon calmly explained the reason for his choice. Brayden found it reasonable, so he nodded. “Noted, young master. What colo
The restaurant was a luxurious one which was often frequented by wealthy people.When the people inside saw this group walk in, they just concluded they were someone's bodyguard. But because of how scary the boss looked, they once again concluded that whoever they were guarding must be someone powerful. “I didn't know the restaurant would be receiving an important figure today. Who could it be?” “Where's the lobby manager? The lobby manager should know who he is.” Two people whispered to themselves. Suddenly, someone took in a deep breath when the group of people got into the elevator. “The one with the knife cuts on his face who looks very scary is the head of a notorious gang here in New York. They call him Rafter. But his real name is Joel Maximus.” His words sent fear into the spines of numerous people and one by one, they all returned to their seats. Everyone knew Joel Maximus. He was a hound dog for the rich and powerful. He was responsible for taking care of and commutin
“There was only him when I went down. I apologize for not bringing you the person who specifically hired me.” Joel apologized for not bringing James. The latter was gone when he went to drag Moses to Dillon. “Who was the second person?” Dillon thought he should inquire. “James Roderick. He's best friends with Moses Lake. They've been best friends since childhood.” Joel responded. James Roderick. The person who Rachel went off with and who had Dillon beaten to a pulp and almost killed him. As a result of that incident, Dillon missed days of work and later got dismissed from his job as a delivery man. Dillon was yet to pay him a visit. But he didn't expect they'd meet again this soon. “What do you think you're doing, you fool!” Moses asked, witnessing how Joel spoke to Dillon gently. He refused to believe his eyes. He had heard about Joel. Joel was considered to be extremely ruthless and didn't care about pleasing anyone. As long as he was offered money, he'd immediately become an
It was soon evening, so Timothy returned to one of the penthouses which belonged to the Wolf family, while Dillon and Merlin returned to their hostel at Yale University. The day's activity had them exhausted. Especially the two times they fought. Thankfully, by the time Dillon returned to the hostel, his roommates were all already fast asleep. He took his bath and went to sleep. It was soon morning, and he was awakened by the sound of his roommates laughing over something. Dillon didn't want to feel it was deliberate, but as he sat up on his bed, they stopped laughing and began whispering among themselves. “Who does he think he is beating up, Moses Lake? Does he know the influence the Lake family has in New York? They can crush him as easily as an ant.” One of them said loudly. “He returned pretty late yesterday. He probably hid out until he was sure it was safe to return to the hostel. Moses will come for him sooner or later.” The second commented. The hostel at Yale University
At exactly 1pm after the lecture, which should've ended an hour ago, ended, some group of boys advanced towards the back seat. Upon seeing him, other students naturally stopped what they were doing and glanced towards the back. Leading the group of boys was Zion, who walked with the aid of a clutch.Dillon, who had seen them walking towards him, paid a blind eye to them as he stuffed his bag with the books he used for jotting down things during the lecture.The things he always jotted down weren't for him, since he had a pretty good retentive memory. They were for Merlin to study with, since he found it difficult assimilating things in a rush. Furthermore, Merlin usually sleeps throughout his classes, solely relying on the recording he made of the lecture with his phone and Dillon's note. Dillon had woken him up as soon as the class ended, and the latter was still stretching his body when he saw Zion and his boys walking towards them. “Did you get into a scuffle with your roommate?
Just as Dillon parted his lips to say who he was, a familiar voice yelled out, “Chancellor!” Immediately, everyone in the room glanced towards the direction it came from. This person was a man in his late thirties, and he didn't look very familiar to Dillon. But while Dillon didn't recognize him, numerous students recognized him to be the Vice Chancellor. He hurried to the Chancellor's side and handed over the tablet, he clutched tightly, to him. The Chancellor took it, and his pupils dilated in surprise when he read the second email sent by the disciplinary committee. Apparently, their decision for expulsion was right, but they had put the wrong name. “The disciplinary committee sent a follow-up email stating there was a mix-up with the names.” The Chancellor began, his eyes going to Zion and Jethro. Then with a firm voice, he said, “From today henceforth, Zion Edward has been expelled from Yale University and is expected to vacate the premises in an hour. Failure to do so, the s
Dillon's action caused the eager eyes of the customers watching him turn to that of disdain. But what were they even expecting? A pig can't fly, can it? “What is that? Don't even come up with the stuff about forgetting your card at home, it's lame and old. Were you really planning on absconding with the food?” James hissed in amusement. “So you're not just poor, you're also a thief. That's probably how you managed to get yourself a new set of clothes. See, you should be thankful I warned you of him. Otherwise, you would've lost your job!” Rachel told the server who got Dillon's orders. The server also got nervous. She wasn't new to this job, but she hadn't really heard of anyone who tried to pull such a stunt in a place filled with so many people, so she wasn't wary of it happening. She was grateful to Rachel. Otherwise, her stupid oversight would've led to her being fired from a job that paid so well. While James and Rachel had other mocking things to say, Dillon kept wondering
