...
On an international flight.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters.
"You old man, for heaven's sake, why are you bringing ashes on the plane? If you don't want to live, don't drag us into it."
Curses echoed from the first-class cabin, pulling Ken's thoughts back to reality.
Turning his head, he saw the overweight man in the adjacent seat hurling insults.
With a Mediterranean hairstyle and a bulky physique, the man resembled a ball of flesh squeezed into the chair.
The person being insulted was the elderly father of Ken's comrade.
In his twilight years, with white hair, he was on this flight specifically to bring his comrade's ashes back to their hometown.
"You old piece of crap, wandering around with an urn, don't you want to live? Get lost!"
Not only did the overweight man mock and insult, but he also shoved the comrade's father to the ground.
"Sorry, sorry."
The comrade's father nodded apologetically, humbly apologizing while tightly cradling his son's ashes, afraid of any mishap.
"Apologies won't do. Don't you know this is an airplane? Bringing a dead person on board. I'll let you carry him, let you carry him!"
Growing angrier with each insult, the overweight man even started physically assaulting the elderly man.
Passengers, witnessing the arrogance of the overweight man, dared not speak up.
Beside the overweight man was a young woman, old enough to be his daughter.
She wore heavy makeup, exuding extreme allure, and her overpowering perfume filled the entire plane.
At this moment, she pressed her body against the overweight man, cheering him on.
"I heard the Titanic sank because of dead people. This old man carrying ashes on the plane deserves to be beaten. Beat him well, and slap him a couple of times for me!"
The overweight man raised his hand, flaunting a mechanical gold watch on his wrist, arrogantly declaring:
"You old man, utterly ignorant of the rules. Bringing a dead person on a plane. Today, even if I beat you to death, you won't die in vain!"
But just as he was about to swing his hand, a pair of hands firmly gripped his wrist.
"Who's that?"
Enraged, the overweight man turned abruptly, facing a pair of eyes as deadly as a killing machine.
Ken Buckle's eyes were bloodshot, filled with raging fury.
Soldiers risking their lives, defending their homeland, facing the brutality of war, preparing for a peaceful rest in death, should not be subjected to such humiliation.
Ken Buckle, furious, didn't hesitate. He slapped the overweight man hard across the face.
The forceful slap left a bright red imprint, instantly swelling half of the man's face.
The glamorous woman widened her eyes, screaming:
"Why are you hitting people! Who gave you the right to hit people!"
"Hitting people? I'm capable of killing!"
Ken Buckle clenched his fist and struck the overweight man's face again.
"Look down on soldiers, insult their spirits. Can soldiers be insulted by someone like you?"
The glamorous woman was stunned, retreating without daring to intervene.
At this moment, two people suddenly stood up from the adjacent seats, both robust individuals, likely skilled fighters, the overweight man's personal bodyguards.
"Stop!"
Shouting angrily, the two rushed forward. The first one received a direct punch to the face, blood splattering as he fell unconscious.
The other bodyguard, still bewildered, received a powerful kick from Ken Buckle, sending him flying more than ten meters into the economy class, breaking several ribs, and rendering him unconscious.
Ken was ruthless, dealing with the bodyguards before continuing to beat the overweight man, causing chaos on the entire plane.
Taking advantage of the situation, the glamorous woman checked on her boss.
"Daddy, daddy, are you okay?"
The overweight man gasped for breath, rubbing his bruised and swollen face, pointing at Ken's nose as he shouted:
"You bastard, dare to hit me! Do you know who I am? I am Marinopolis' Fat Master. You're dead! I'll kill you!"
The overweight man, a stubborn man who cried to his mother when beaten, couldn't grasp the reality. He displayed an air of invincibility, continuously hurling threats and insults.
"You dare hit me. Have you lived long enough? Wait for me after we land. Don't you dare leave. I'll kill you, you bastard!"
A brawl on an airplane couldn't be ignored by the cabin crew and air marshals. They rushed into the first-class cabin to mediate, but their attempts at diplomacy failed, turning this flight into a chaotic ordeal.
Ken remained silent, knowing that someone might end up dead once they landed.
Insulting an elderly father.
Such scoundrels shouldn't exist in the world.
Prosperia's Marinopolis International Airport."Make way!""Get out of the way!"Dozens of thugs rushed into the corridor, moving with urgency as if facing a formidable enemy.Passengers who had just disembarked hurriedly made way. Most of them were unaware of what was happening, but the sudden appearance of so many thugs left many feeling bewildered.After the plane landed, the overweight man blocked the exit arrogantly, cursing loudly and displaying an extremely arrogant attitude."On my turf, you bastards better prepare to die. Once my brothers arrive, I'll make sure you two won't leave here alive!""Dare to lay a hand on me. Both you and the old man, don't even think about leaving here alive."The glamorous woman assisted the overweight man in blocking the door, hands on her hips, confidently ignoring the persuasions of the flight attendants. They refused to let anyone pass.All the thugs arrived, and the arrogance of the overweight man became even more overwhelming.A group of pe
Randolph was scared out of his wits long ago, hastily kowtowing and pleading:"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I apologize, I was wrong. Please spare my life."Ken merely cast a faint glance at him, walking and saying:"Those who offend Prosperia, no matter how far, shall be punished. Those who defy military authority shall not be forgiven."Randolph's head banged on the ground with a thud, and all his pleas were in vain."Commander Buckle, I beg for your mercy, spare my life this time! I won't dare again!""Another time?"Without turning his head, Ken left behind a single word."Kill!"The order was given, and the armed personnel briskly loaded their weapons, uniformly chambering rounds and aiming at Randolph's head and all the thugs causing trouble."Bang! Bang! Bang!"The thunderous gunfire echoed through the sky.Randolph and the thugs were all executed by firing squad.This scene left all the passengers dumbfounded.Ken, who gave the order to open fire, nonchalantly sat in a
Cousin Samuel Nixon, a well-known playboy in Marinopolis, was usually arrogant and unruly, leaving a trail of romantic debts throughout the city. Despite being a useless person, he was the first heir in line for the Nixon family. Amanda was unwilling; Samuel Nixon was nothing more than a dandy, utterly undeserving!"Samuel, talk to Aunt Three and tell her about the chosen man—how handsome he is, how much money he has, and what background he comes from."Ellie grabbed Samuel Nixon's hand, humble and sycophantic, not at all like an elder but more like a flatterer."Hehe, you'll know soon enough. The carefully selected candidate is truly exceptional, a one in a hundred."There was a clear hint of sarcasm in Samuel Nixon's words.Mother Ellie couldn't sense it, but Amanda understood perfectly.This exceptional man was undoubtedly a worthless waste.Once publicly revealed, Amanda was destined to become a joke in Marinopolis."Daughter, as I said, elders wouldn't harm you. I truly hope that
The banquet hall fell unusually silent, as if everyone was witnessing Amanda's humiliation.However, in Ken's eyes, it was not so.Amanda, the woman who once shielded him from bullets.Watching her now, helpless against the forced marriage imposed by the family, Ken felt a moment of empathy.Nixon family head, Alfred Nixon, held a microphone and said, "This is all Old Nixon's decision. If you have objections, take it up with him."The crowd buzzed again, and mocking congratulations echoed everywhere."Congratulations, congratulations! The Nixon family has chosen a son-in-law.""That's right. I heard he's even a door-to-door son-in-law. This is a great thing."Ken's identity was exposed."What is this? Isn't he just a beggar?"The whole place was in an uproar, discussing how they had chosen a complete waste."This isn't choosing a son-in-law; it's choosing scum for Amanda, right?"Listening to the guests' comments, Amanda's face turned ashen.At this moment, her mind was completely bla
Amanda never expected that, in her most helpless moment, the very person who made her a laughingstock would step forward to defend her—it was truly ironic."Oh my, I'm really moved. How does it feel to be protected by a vagabond? Hahaha."Samuel Nixon began mocking again.Amanda gritted her teeth. She knew very well that the one who caused her humiliation was none other than Samuel Nixon and his father, Alfred Nixon.Both she and Ken were just tools being manipulated.She didn't hate Ken, but she harbored intense resentment towards Samuel Nixon. For the sake of family fortune, they could be so heartless."Wife, from now on, no one can bully you."Ken's words were decisive, echoing like a devil's proclamation throughout the banquet hall."Oh, well, no one can bully her yet? Let me do it. What can you do to me?"Samuel Nixon taunted arrogantly, his tone mocking, "You, a vagabond, think we chose you and suddenly you're someone important?"But what happened next left everyone stunned."Sm
As Ken drove, neither of them spoke a word. The atmosphere inside the car became unusually eerie, continuing until they reached the Bayview Estates.Pulling into the parking lot, Ken, like a professional bodyguard, opened the car door and escorted Amanda out.Amanda hugged herself, wearing a dress, feeling the cool air. Ken, in a gentlemanly manner, took off his own coat and draped it over Amanda. This gesture brought a warmth to her cold heart that she had never felt before."Let's go. I'll take you home."Ken looked around, then pressed the elevator button.Amanda silently stood by. At this moment, an SMS arrived on her phone. It was a personnel transfer order from the Nixon company."Starting today, Chief Technology Officer Amanda is on unpaid leave, awaiting company assignment.""Unpaid leave!"Amanda's eyes widened, and after a moment, she understood.Ken hit Samuel Nixon, and the Nixon family would never let it slide.Unpaid leave was just the beginning. There might be a storm o
After much contemplation, Amanda sighed, "Mom, let it go. It's come to this, just leave it be."Ellie shouted, "No! I absolutely won't allow such a person to enter the gates of our Nixon family. If this gets out, where can I put my face?""Amanda, don't worry. Tomorrow, Mom will find you someone—a rich second-generation with power and influence. Anyone would be better than this useless guy!"Amanda helplessly exclaimed, "Mom!"Saying this, she dragged Ellie into the house.Ellie, shouting and crying, said, "Get out! Get out!"Amanda, now also in tears, used all her strength to pull Ellie inside. The sounds of mother and daughter crying echoed from the house.At this point, Ken couldn't stand still. There was a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and he dialed a number on his phone.After a brief ring, a rabbit's voice came from the other end, "Speak, what's the matter?"Getting straight to the point, Ken said, "Three minutes, I need all the information on Nixon Group."The rabbit, se
Nixon HouseAlfred Nixon was sitting in the Nixon family sipping his coffee, quite pleased with how he had handled Amanda and her departure.Outside the courtyard, Samuel Nixon rushed in, looking anxious. Alfred Nixon frowned, displeased with his son's appearance."Samuel! What's this disheveled look? How can you inherit the Nixon family acting like this?" Alfred scolded.Samuel caught his breath and hurriedly said, "Dad, something's wrong. Carl Charles from Charles Group insists on signing the contract only with Amanda. He even threw me out. I don't know what kind of magic potion Amanda used on him!"Alfred Nixon's face darkened. "Do you know how much effort our Nixon family put into securing this project? Now, he refuses to sign the contract? I don't care what means you use, but you must get this contract signed. If the contract falls through, you'll take the blame!"Samuel Nixon's face turned pale. He thought he had stumbled upon a windfall, but it turned out to be a hot potato."W
