. . When Landon heard his name mentioned in their heated conversation, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn’t know how to respond to such a situation. It felt as though he was the cause of the argument between father and daughter, and that was not a pleasant feeling. Moreover, Landon picked up on something intriguing from their exchange. It seemed that the Anderson family had some sort of leverage over Ashley and her family, and Landon was curious as to why Ashley's family was so dependent on the Andersons for security. “Dad, I’ve told you many times about how Landon saved me back at school,” Ashley replied, trying to convince her father. “And I’m grateful to him for that; it’s the same reason I gave him such hospitality when he came to our house,” Martins yelled. “I also gave him a chance to prove himself! But I don’t think Landon can do anything to help us. Do you really believe that our family issues are something a single individual can solve? I understand that Landon migh
..When Landon heard Ashley’s story, everything finally clicked into place. He now understood what was really going on and why her father was so insistent on him joining the Deadly Path Of The South. Ashley’s father wanted to compare his strength with that of Hendrix. If Landon managed to defeat Hendrix in the competition, her father would consider him a worthy son-in-law.However, Landon could also sense that Ashley’s father was still skeptical about the whole situation. Even if Landon did end up defeating Hendrix, he was still just one individual—not a member of a powerful family like the Andersons. This was Ashley’s father’s main concern. He didn’t realize, however, that Landon was far more capable than he could ever imagine. Even the devil himself would find it extremely difficult to harm them if they were under Landon’s protection.Landon looked at Ashley and said reassuringly, “If protection from the Anderson family is the only reason you’re being forced to marry Hendrix, then
..“Aurora?” Landon called out, clearly surprised.“Landon, it’s so great to see you again!” Aurora replied with a bright smile, her excitement at seeing him evident in her voice.Landon, meanwhile, was momentarily stunned—not only because it had been some time since he last saw her, but because Aurora looked more beautiful than ever. He had always known her to be attractive, but today, she seemed to have an even greater allure. The simple gown she wore, which revealed little skin, was somehow more tempting than any extravagant outfit. Her V-shaped curves were impossible to ignore, and Landon couldn’t help but silently admit that God had done an exceptional job in creating her. However, he made sure not to let his dazzled state show too much.“Yeah, it has been a while,” Landon replied, flashing a smile. “I can see you’re all set for today’s outing.”Aurora blushed slightly, her cheeks tinged with pink. “Yes, I am.”“Well then, we’ll be seeing each other at the fun place this evening
..When Landon heard this, he instantly knew he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing while Aurora was in trouble. But just as he was about to get up, Mark beat him to it, taking the lead in the situation.“Who dares to harass Aurora? Do they have a death wish?! Mary, take me to Aurora!” Mark shouted, his voice seething with rage. Mary quickly led him to the restroom area at the club.Everyone else followed behind Mark and Mary, pausing their partying to ensure that Aurora was safe. Just as Mary had informed them, Aurora was indeed struggling with a man in the hallway outside the restroom.“Let me go!” Aurora screamed, desperately trying to free herself from the man’s grasp.“I’m definitely not doing that! Not after you slapped me! You’re coming to my bed tonight, whether you like it or not!” The man, dressed in a fancy suit, was holding Aurora’s arm and dragging her with him.Being a man, he was naturally stronger and easily overpowered Aurora.“Let her go!” Mark rushed forward and
..“What? He’s Don Sebastian?!”“My goodness, I’m getting chills now! Mark is in deep trouble!”“Of all people, he had to offend Don Sebastian.”The group of workers who had rushed to defend Aurora took a collective step back as they heard the middle-aged man introduce himself as Don Sebastian.Aurora saw the fear in their eyes and asked, “Who’s Don Sebastian?”“He’s one of the people in Autumnvale you definitely don’t want to offend. He’s the boss of one of the four crime guilds in the entire region. I’ve heard he’s so ruthless that he feeds those who cross him to his dogs,” Mary explained, dread lacing her voice.Aurora’s expression suddenly became grave. Although she didn’t like Mark that much, she couldn’t shake the discomfort she felt knowing he was in trouble because of her.“You better believe in the impossible!” Don Sebastian said with a nonchalant look.He turned to the young man who had brought them over and asked, “Ben, is this the guy who beat you up?”“Yes, Big Brother.
. . “Hey, why don’t you just let them go? You’ve had your revenge, so why take it this far?” When Don Sebastian heard an unfamiliar male voice in the room challenging his authority, he frowned in irritation. Everyone turned their heads to see who had dared to speak up. Among the group, they were surprised to find that there was still a man left who hadn’t fled the scene. Even Aurora was taken aback when she realized the person who had spoken was Landon. All the other men had run away in fear under Don Sebastian’s threats. She had not expected Landon to still be here, standing firm in the face of danger. The other women also turned to look at the speaker, their eyes briefly filled with hope. But as soon as they recognized that it was Landon who had spoken, that hope quickly faded into despair. They didn’t believe that Landon, of all people, could do anything to save them in this dire situation. Clarissa was the most disappointed of them all. At that moment, she was desperately
..Landon had taken down most of the men as if he were simply taking a leisurely stroll through the park. This display of effortless skill left all the ladies utterly astonished.“I never knew Landon could fight like that!” one woman exclaimed in amazement.“Me neither! From the looks of things, he might actually be able to save us!” another added, her voice tinged with hope.“Go, Landon! You’ve got this! Teach them all a lesson they won’t forget!” a third woman cheered, her voice full of encouragement.“Please, rescue us, Landon!” another woman cried out, desperation and admiration mingling in her tone.Landon could only look at most of the women as if they were a group of opportunistic gold diggers. The truth was, the only reason he decided to stay and fight against Don Sebastian and his men was because of Aurora, Mary, and the rest of his coworkers who had always treated him with kindness. He simply couldn’t walk away and watch them suffer.“I have to admit, you are quite skilled.
..Don Sebastian had been a crime boss for many years. He had enough experience to tell when someone was serious or not. The moment Landon threatened to crush his manhood, any trace of resistance he had left was completely washed away.“Okay! I’ll do it! I’ll get naked!” Don Sebastian cried out in a panic.The thought of losing his manhood drove him to the brink of insanity. What would life be like without it? The very idea of living without his manhood was unbearable. It would mean a dull, joyless existence. He wouldn’t be able to enjoy the pleasures of life, especially those involving beautiful women, which was his primary way of relieving stress. No matter what, his manhood was his top priority!“Good,” Landon nodded, his expression stern. “Now, get naked.”Don Sebastian began to comply, stripping off his clothes piece by piece.Landon then turned his gaze to Mike, Don Sebastian’s brother, and ordered in a stern voice, “You too, get naked as well!”Mike had witnessed what Landon h
