Rolling his eyes, Austin sneered disgustingly from where he stood, “Has to be a joke, you hand out an insignificant pill and you expect for it to work like magic! It's no different from what the great Doctor Stone did!" He spoke up while glaring at the occupants of the room,Madam Ruth harboured misgivings within her, and Austin's statement further proved her worries to be true, Having had enough of Austin's unnecessary shades and tantrums, Adam covered the distance between them and glared at him with an impassive expression on his face, he tilted his head to the side and appraised the smug man before him,Drawing himself to his full height, he spread his legs apart and with a gleam in his eyes dared to challenge Austin,“In a few minutes, Madam Ruth will begin to feel better and become healthy, and when that happens, you're going to publicly tender my apology that you still haven't given, and you're going to free Mira from your claws,”He added that for good measure and to also ril
Sir French was a man of integrity and loyalty and so Austin's adamancy rubbed him the wrong way, and so without giving it a second thought, he stormed to where Austin stood and dealt a blow to his chin, causing the latter to stagger back and gape at him with bulged eyes, his chin turning a dark shade of purple, The women gasped out and stared with eyes wide open,“Oh my God! Mr French, what has come over you?!"Madam Ruth exclaimed loudly, her hands over her mouth as she gaped, her eyes darting between the two men,Sir French with his nostrils flaring scowled up at Austin's face who was chagrined, his eyes blazing with intense hate but Sir French didn't mind his anger as he looked at him dead in the eyes,“You ought to know your place, Mr Adam isn't one to talk to in that manner, you have belittled him and yet he has said nothing, but I won't stand by and continuously watch him being insulted”Mira and her mother exchanged a curious and confused glance between themselves, and Madam R
Adam having left the hospital room with Sir French, decided to head back to Sage Robinson's base and check on Amber, he was still expecting So0hia who still had not shown up, He and Sir French were going to depart at that point, but we were just having a little chit-chat, with Adam appreciating him for his help back at the hospital. It had been unexpected, but it was still appreciated all the same. The two men shook their hands, clasping themselves on the back, but before they could disperse and go their separate ways, the car park was suddenly surrounded by a total number of what looked like five military vehicles,Adam and Sir French exchanged a curious look between themselves, while Sir French quickly took out his phone from his pocket, facing Adam, he uttered,“I don't know what's going on, but I think I smell trouble” and shrugged.Adam barely responded as he watched the parked vehicle, the vehicle looked menacing and rugged, and he wondered what the occupants of it would look
Austin let out a loud laugh that was filled with mockery, as he pointed at both men mockingly,“What? Cat got your tongue?!" Both Sir French as well as Adam ignored him, choosing to rather have identical smirks on their faces.Adam arched his brow at Austin, his voice was filled with subtle warning as he spoke,“Mr Parker, you don't want to do this"Austin scoffed and howled once more before his laughter morphed into an outburst,“Who are you to tell me what I choose to do, you fool?”He glanced at the army of men waiting behind him for his command before he smiled smugly at Adam once again,“Or is it because I'm yet to give the command that'll ruin your life?! Because I'm waiting for you to do the right thing and get on your feet to lick my boots?!” He further taunted, his eyes gleaming as he spoke.A crowd had already gathered at the parking lot when they had seen the fierce-looking vehicles and men and had begun to whisper amongst themselves, some had even dared to move nearer so
Every pair of eyes was on Adam and the approaching armed men, and Austin was already jumping in his mind, envisaging his inevitable victory,Sir French had changed his stance, as he had readied himself for a fight, he wasn't going to go down without a fight nor leave Adam to face these men all alone,“Ah!!!"“Hiya!!!"The men screamed as they sprung up to action brandishing their swords,Sir French and Adam both leapt into the air and in sync thrust out both their legs and hit the torso of four men, who fell to the ground in shock. Both men bent and swept up their abandoned swords for themselves, taking two each and crossing them to their chests,“Whoa!!! I did not see that coming!"“Take it easy, the fight has only just begun. The odds still aren't in their favour"Some of the spectators exclaimed as they watched with keen interest, Austin, who hadn't expected such a defense, stumbled a little with bulging eyes, his mouth almost agape while his eyes darted between both men. He sucke
Austin gulped a little, with his breath pausing a little as General Olson stared at the hand, shifting on one foot, he ran a hand through his hair, as he tried to avoid eye contact with the military man,He couldn't understand the man's current attitude and it baffled him, General Olson was the first man he had reached out to, seeking his help for revenge against Adam, through his family's influence he had been able to get his contact,General Olson had informed him that he had been indisposed but had assured him to help out with some men and stop by if he had the chance, to finish whatever the men started and Austin had been satisfied, so he didn't understand the man's attitude.As though a switch had been flipped on General Olson, he smiled broadly and clasped Austin's outstretched hand into his, giving him a firm handshake,“It's good to meet you Mr Parker, General Sventin speaks highly of you”Austin expelled the breath he didn't know he was holding as he grinned widely and nodded
General Olson left Adam’s side and stormed over to Austin’s side, his face blazing as he walked over, standing a few feet away he gritted his teeth through his set jaw,Austin's words were like a blow to his personality, he was only here because of General Sventin’s request, and even though he had been reluctant to come over he did so out of respect to the highly decorated general, and he wasn't regretting that decision as it had brought him across Adam’s path once again.Austin was oblivious to General Olson’s anger, his own anger and disgust had blinded his vision as he glared at the General; this was supposed to be his victory moment, the opportunity to have the pauper lick his feet, but all of that had been taken from him.“No one dares stand or dares to question the general, everyone knows that!”Someone in the crowd muttered, and a few people nodded,Austin was obviously deaf to their words as he further grated on General Olson’s nerves, still jabbing his finger at Adam’s path,
Austin stumbled backwards, his entire face ashen as he gaped disbelievingly at General Olson, his jaw and chin ached and his hand involuntarily flew to the aching area, his previously set jaw was loosened, Everyone in the crowd was stunned to momentary silence, their mouths hanging open, the people's previous confidence in Austin wavered as they stared on,“That's surely going to leave a terrible bruise"“With that blow, Mr Parker is going to lose a few teeth”"I hate to be him right now! Such disgrace aq humiliation, imagine just how much the table has turned in his disfavour”One by one the people began exclaiming amongst themselves, gaping in disbelief. For certain with the kind of blow that had landed on Austin Parker, his chin and face couldn't remain the same again, some of them mused to themselves, shaking their heads in disbelief and pity.Tears had gathered in Austin's eyes, and he shamelessly let them fall, no matter how much he tried to hold them in, his aching throat woul
