Meanwhile, in the Winslow Residence, Anselm and Hazel Winslow stood behind a tall and slender woman. She shielded them behind her while looking down apologetically as those in her family raged on. “This little bastard of yours has once again caused trouble. This time, he even involved a military man and made a huge mess!” “Our Winslow family has had a spotless reputation for years if not for you and your bastards, but we’ve let you stay with us because you’ve vowed to do whatever we ask you to do, but this we can no longer condone!” “The children playground’s director reached out to all his friends in the military, but none of them knows a man like the one those wealthy women described. Who knows which man that obnoxious little thing brought to cause such a mess!” “Because of this, our Winslow family is in trouble with very important people. Merely apologizing won’t fix any of it!” “Why are we still sitting around when we should’ve dragged them out and thrown them out of the gat
But that thought only lasted for a moment as a crisp sound filled the air. Smack! It was the short female staff slapping one of the women. She was fuming in rage as she pulled her hair roughly. “Over the past two years, you’ve pushed me around however you like. You pay me, but you order me around like I am your slave! I’ve looked forward to doing this for a long time!” The woman who was slapped shrieked loudly in pain and held the hand on her hair to lessen the pain she was feeling. “What do you think you’re doing? How dare you lay your filthy hands on…”Smack! The staff slapped her again and gripped her hair even tighter. “Stop talking so much. Didn’t you hear the military man? If I don’t do as he says, who knows what he’ll do to me.” “If you were the one in my shoes, wouldn’t you slap me as soon as he asked you to? So don’t complain and just keep your cheeks properly so i can slap them.” Seeing this, the second staff grew confident and pulled the woman closest to her by th
She turned to him and laughed dryly. “W-what? What we told you is what is shown on the surveillance camera. Do you really believe this little girl over five full grown adults?” Wade shifted his gaze to her with the most strange look. “I’m a military man, why would I believe a child’s words about a matter like this so easily?” “I can’t take the boy away without proof that he did what he’s being accused of. If the public finds out I punished an innocent young child without checking the facts, the military will be in trouble.” “You do know North City has enemies surrounding it. If they hear citizens are having problem with the military, they will seize the opportunity to attack.” “We wouldn’t want some strangers coming into our country to kill us, would we?” Upon hearing him, the three women sucked in a deep breath. Not because of what he said about neighboring enemy countries, but about him checking the surveillance footages. With such a concrete reason, the management would de
Everyone turned their heads to see a man in military uniform walking towards them with a girl clinging tightly by his side. When they saw her, the parents were first taken aback before one of them asked in fright. “Is that your daughter? Are these two your children?” Wade glanced at the boy being bullied. He had a nose bleed and the corners of his lips had split open. Most importantly, his face was beet red from the constant slaps he had received. Wade tore his eyes away from him and towards the mothers as he replied, “No.”Hearing him, they released a breathe they didn’t know they had been holding and quickly waved him aside. “Then this has nothing to do with you. In fact, aren’t you in the military? The military were put in place to protect citizens of North City.” “My son and his friends are been attacked by this punk right here. He waved that pipe in their faces. Had they not moved away when they did, he would’ve scratched them!” “Go ahead and take him. Beat him up for try
Inside the playground, a group of three boys who all looked to be around 8 to 9 years circled a boy of the 6 years. His eyes flickered from one face to the other, but there was no hint of fear in his eyes. “Didn’t we tell you not to come here again? My mommy says trash like you shouldn’t play with people like us.” “My mommy says he doesn’t have a father. He’s a bastard. Bastards shouldn’t play in the same place as us.” “Let’s just beat him to a pulp. Next time, he will think twice before coming here.” “What if he comes again?” “What do you think? If he comes again, we’d beat him again until he stops coming here. Now stop asking me so many questions and grab him.” Two of the boys hurriedly rushed over and held him down. As they did, the 6-year-old boy kicked and struggled to get away from them. The third boy smacked him hard across the face and snorted loudly. “Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Weren’t you taught well at home? Oh, of course. You don’t have a father. How c
Gabriel rolled up his sleeves and took on a fighting stance. Seeing this, Wade pressed his lips into a thin line and an impatient glint flashed past his eyes. He was only talking this much time because the person in question was his brother. Had it been another person, he would’ve long ordered Jordan to do something about him. He was just about to say something when Anna Hutton strolled over to Gabriel’s side and gently massaged his shoulder. “Your little brother has always been like this. While he does need to be taught a lesson for disrespecting you in public, there’s no need to do it in front of so many people.” “This is a Wilmer family problem. It should be resolved in the Wilmer family, so stop this and go home to sort yourselves out.” Gabriel scoffed lightly and immediately moved away from her, saying with a straight face, “He disrespected me in public. He should be taught a lesson in public. Otherwise, how will he learn not to be rude and talk back to his elders?” The f
Gabriel Wilmer was slightly taken aback by the sudden question. However, the disbelief at being figured out disappeared the very next second. So when the guests glanced at him, they saw his signature frown on his face and shook their heads in disbelief. A proud man like him would never stoop so low. These brother of his would say anything now that he was driven into a corner. “What is this punk talking about? Who in North City doesn’t know the Supreme Commander dines on the same table as Gabriel Wilmer and the four great families?” “If he doesn’t have what to say, why does he keep talking!” “Aren’t they more of them, Mr. Wilmer? Hurry up and call them so they can put this loser in his place!” “Just because he’s putting on that uniform, he thinks he can look down on the rest of us.” Seeing how valiantly they were all defending him, Gabriel flashed Wade a triumphant smile and casually slipped his hands into his pockets. “These are just a few of the men the Supreme Commander
Having the military men in the room with him, Gabriel found his confidence again and threw Wade a cold glance. “It’s a good thing you’re here, lieutenant. We were just about to call regarding these two weasels who do not know their place.” “I don’t know which division they belong to, but since every soldier in North City is under the Supreme Commander, I suggest you report them to him as soon as possible.” “If news gets out that there are insolent people like them around, the people will get agitated and our country’s enemies will use it to their advantage.”He spoke so calmly and convincingly that the guests couldn’t help nodding their heads in agreement. After all, Wade and Jordan had crashed the auction just when they were about to find out the identity of someone important. They wouldn’t let that slide since it came from lowlife punks like them. Anna Hutton sat down and glanced at the time on her wristwatch warily. “Before you report them to the Supreme Commander, you shou
As soon as he heard that, Julian Powell, Gabriel Wilmer’s assistant, suddenly felt a strong attachment to life and didn’t dare to take a step forward. Maybe it was the scary resting face the man with Wade had on or the authority that he knew came with the military uniform he had on. The corners of Gabriel’s lips spasmed in anger. “What are you doing? Do you think you can now talk back to me just because you’re putting on a military uniform?” Wade remained upright, his back as straight as a ruler as he let out a faint, but chilly smile. “If you already know, why do you still ask? Did you become a fool when I left?” Gabriel and everyone else was totally taken aback by his direct insult. Many of them in this room didn’t even know the Wilmer family had two sons. When they realized this person who crashed the auction had the last name Wilmer, they were confused. But they quickly realized the reason not many people knew of his existence was obviously because he was his older brothe
