The Son-In-Law’s Revenge

5

"Oh we'll see just how weak they are," he says with a smirk on his face.

"Well, I ain't waiting around to find out," Logan says as he walks up to him and lands a direct jab on his face, causing him to stagger backward. He glares at Logan and touches his nose only to feel the warm fluidity of blood. "What happened? You don't seem to have much to say anymore" Logan teases.

"Get away from him!" Chanel yells at him, stomping her heels on the floor in a tantrum-like manner. A smirk etches up on his face as he turns to look her in the eye.

"Oh, so you're worried about him?" He asks sarcastically, "Geez that hurts"

"How dare you raise your....... right!" Sebastian falls on the floor as he receives an uppercut from Logan.

Lucas by the way, isn't comfortable with what's going on. "There's too many people watching," he thinks. It's all the more severe since Logan just got out of jail a couple of minutes ago! Walking up behind him, Lucas whispers, "We gotta get the hell outta here. What if the cops show up?"

Logan thinks about it but is more interested in getting his revenge than escaping the cops.

Just then, the doors swing open and a group of bearded men with predominantly leather outfits, walk in. They are a gang from their matching appearance and their intimidating aura.

"Oh you guys are toast now," Sebastian says as he manages to get up to his feet. Sebastian's eyes lock on the gang leader.

"That's him over there!" Sebastian yells as his finger points at Logan. Immediately, Lucas and Logan are surrounded, circled like they were in a shark tank.

"Hey fry, whatchu doing messing with my homeboy?" The gang leader asks as he struts to the center of the circle. Logan shows no signs of intimidation, though he already realizes that he's in a world of shit.

"Oh, you know that motherfucker?" Logan asks him, pointing backward at Sebastian with his thumb, "I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to fuck you up too if you try to intervene" he threatens.

"You? Fuck me up?" The kingpin laughed.

"Boys? Teach this man some respect" he orders and immediately, the members begin to close in on the kill. Logan accepting his fate but refusing to back down without a fight, takes up a fighting stance with his clenched fists in an attack position.

"Hold up boys!" The gang leader orders as he stops and stares at the ring on Logan's finger, "Get back" he mutters. His gang members stop to hear him,

"But boss?"

"Get back now!" He ordered them.

Logan and Lucas glance at each other, and back at them.

What could have made him so scared?

At Lucas's house, Logan sits on the couch, staring at the ring on his finger and the inscription on it. It has an intricate design of serpent-like dragons, encircling a logo that reads "蛇(Shé)".

'What's this supposed to mean?' he thinks as he remains lost in thoughts.

While he gazes at the ring, Lucas walks up behind the couch and taps him on the shoulder.

"Where's your mind at bruh?" He asks, startling Logan a bit, as he strolls to the kitchen and grabs a can of soda from the fridge.

'Pshh..trrkpop!" The soda can fizzes as it's popped open and Lucas takes a sip from it.

"I'm still tryna figure out why those guys left us alone and even let us walk out of the hall unscathed," Logan says, "We were gonna be fucked up bad, had they decided to jump on us"

"I know right? I thought we were gonna be dead meat" Lucas responds.

Logan stares at the ring as he reminisces about what had happened at the wedding hall just a few hours ago >>>>>

*** At the wedding hall ***

"Let them go!" The gang leader says to his men, as they stare at him in surprise.

"But boss...?"

"Don't question me, just let them go" he orders.

The men seem mesmerized but decide to obey their boss and back up.

"Psst! What's happening?" Lucas whispers to Logan in the ear, totally surprised by the way the men are acting.

"I've got no idea, but I think we better leave fast before they change their mind" he suggests. As they both begin to leave, Sebastian's voice suddenly breaks the gloomy silence...........

"What the fuck are you doing, Papito? Get them!" He orders.

"I'm sorry man, but they have to leave," the gang leader says to him.

Sebastian remains silent in shock as he stares at Logan and Lucas walking towards the door.

As they both walk towards the door, Logan notices the gang leader staring at the ring on his finger. He confirms by taking glances at the ring and back at the gazing eyes of the gang leader, who seems so lost and terrified at the ring that he doesn't even take notice of Logan staring at him. The other members of the gang glare at them as they head out of the building...........

Back to present>>>>

"I've gotta find out more about this ring," Logan says as he clenches his fist around it and shoves it into his pocket.

"Where in the world did you get it from anyway? 'cause it certainly doesn't look like stuff you see in the regular jewelry stores," he says.

"Yeah, it's not as beautiful"

"And certainly not half as pricey" Lucas adds, which makes them both chuckle a little bit.

"It was given to me by some old Chinese man I met while I was in prison, " Logan says, "He saved my life from the horrors of prison"

"How so?"

Three years ago<<<<<<

At the prison complex. Logan, who is escorted by two prison guards, walks through the dark damp corridor. Looking at each side, all he can see are enclosures in front of which are huge steel bars, within which are prisoners in their orange coverall uniforms. Whistles and catcalls pervade the air as he walks past the cells. His face betrays his evident fear, as he stares naively at some of the prisoners.

"Hey kid! Whatchu looking at, white boy?" One of the inmates, grabbing the bars like a caged animal, yells at him with a glare most likely intended to intimidate him.
