2025-04-07 23:39:31“My goodness!” A voice screamed out amidst gasps as they watched the men filled with terror, laid on their bodies in pain while they wondered what just happened to them.
Only then did the residents begin to disperse till there was none left, secretly watching behind their curtains. What just happened? They could not help but wonder, scared of the strange, homeless man. Only then did Reed move towards his brother, his heart filled with sympathy. “Please don't hurt me too” He said with a whimper. The man shook his head gently, “It's me, Vincent. I'm back” The man said with sadness laced in his voice. Three years ago, his brother was full of life and now? They turned him into a broken, worthless man. All because of him! How dare they lay their filthy hands on his brother? He seethed as he watched his brother's eyes widen in shock. The man could not believe his eyes. “You're back?” Vincent asked while the man nodded. Only then did he help his brother on his knees while Vincent's eyes welled in tears. “Let me take care of them. I'll be back soon” Reed said. However, the man shook his head firmly. “I can't let you go through what I went through. I'm the older one and I should protect you. The G-Thugs aren't people you should mess with. They are…” Only then did Reed remember who they were. They were the same people that had tortured him three years ago after Sharon had forged his signature just that they didn't have a popular name yet. Best known also for torturing people by imprinting the amount the debtors owed on their chests and making sure they got triple of what debtors owed whenever they could not repay. The moment suddenly became eerie. The residents’ eyes nearly popped from their sockets as they trembled in fear. Just a moment ago, they were worried. In a blink, they were in fear “Are troublesome,” Reed continued. “But I promise you that I'll be fine. Let me handle them” Vincent looked at his brother and for the first time in three years, he saw someone that had completely changed from who he was. He didn't seem like a fragile man. Finally, he nodded and helped the old man who had passed out to his house. From a distance, Vincent watched as Reed approached the gang leader and touched his leg, worsening the sprain. The man's filthy scream echoed through the air as he clenched his eyes in pain. Worried that anything could happen again, he went inside to pick up a knife. “Why are you doing this to me? I don't know you!” The leader yelled. “Of course you do!” Reed snapped. “You tormented my brother for three years after claiming I was dead” The gang exchanged glances, their faces now pale with shock. Had he risen from the dead? They confirmed that this man was gone! How could he be standing here now, powerful and unshaken? They couldn't even explain what happened earlier! However, the leader laughed hard through the pain. He still refused to believe that it was the same gullible man whose signature was forged three years ago by his girlfriend and got himself into a pile of trouble. “Do you think this is some sort of a comedy show? That bastard is long gone! Did you see what they did to him? I plan to do the same to that bastard over there as soon as I have my full money collected from him!” Reed's rage surged. He snapped his fingers, twisting the man's leg further. Only then did the man's screams grow louder. “It's me, Reed! The same man you planned to kill and once I am done with you all, you will realize the mistake you made by messing around with my family!” “How are you still alive? They said you were dead. The boss said you were a threat to him because your girlfriend may still visit you in jail. We saw your dead body” The leader stammered. Reed smirked coldly. “Do you really think I'm dead? I would have loved to kill you all and send you to that bastard, Cornell but it's not yet time” Reed turned to see his brother still watching from a distance. “I want you to get on your knees and beg that man” He said. The leader’s eyes turned frosty. Only then did a malicious voice became evident, “Just because you suddenly sprained my legs, you think you have some sort of power? You came for revenge and this is your big plan? You're still a loser” “Once a loser, always a loser!” “After all, you lost your girlfriend to a rich man. Even in a million years to come, you still won't be able to compete with him!” “In a few hours, Mr Cornell will be gifting his wife a golden sculpture to mark their third anniversary made by the best artist in town” “In fact, you'll think you're going after Mr Cornell, forgetting that he's not the only one involved in this. You'll be so mad when you realize Mr Harrison is also involved!” The leader said while the gang laughed in mockery. Reed's eyes darkened. “kneel!” He ordered again, this time more coldly, not wanting to hear anymore bullshit. “Why should we?” The leader sneered, slipping his hand behind his back to grab a knife. “You may have sprained my legs but not my hands, you crazy ex-convict” He yelled, lunging forward. However, Reed took a step ahead of them and immediately twisted the man's ankle, sending him crashing to the ground in agony. However, Vincent was worried his brother would go back to jail again while he thought of what to do. Meanwhile, the residents who were watching from their windows all stared in awe. They couldn't believe that Reed was back, stronger and mightier! “Please don't hurt us again. We're sorry” One of the men cried. He couldn't stand it anymore. “Wrong! That man over there is the one you owe your apology to” Reed thundered icily, pointing to Vincent. Vincent shook his head instead, “I don't want you to go back to jail. Please stop” “I promise you that I won't. They will be the ones to go to jail instead” He said and looked at them maliciously. Only then did they hurriedly fall on their knees, terrified of more pain. “Please forgive us. We will never bother you again” The G-Thugs all said at once as they clasped their hands in desperation . “Tell your boss I'll be back for him. Now, get lost” He said with a step forward with his voice cold as ice wishing he could kill them as he watched them scramble but he knew it would be too risky. The watching eyes could get him into trouble again. Sharon! Cornell! It's high time I paid you both a visit!

“Brother, are you okay?” Reed said the moment he turned towards his brother who almost stumbled while he managed to hold him firmly. “What… just happened?” Vincent asked, clearly flabbergasted as he held his brother's hands. Before the man could respond, he continued in a frightened voice, “They will definitely come back again! You should have watched them hurt me. They only did that because I had no money to pay for the month.”“They can't hurt us anymore. Trust me”Reed said calmly even though he was inwardly surging in anger, trying to convince his brother. The man shook his head as his eyes darted around. “A lot has happened three years ago. It's not the same as it was in the past. Those people work directly for a man named Harrison Rudolph”Immediately, that name rang a bell. Wasn't that one of the powerful magnates in the state? In fact, he ranked the fifth wealthiest man in the city. He was the same man who personally used his resources to build the city's bridge when it

Half an hour later, Reed arrived at Cornell Snow's residence and stared at it from a distance. Blood money. Lavished items. Underrated Criminals. Were the thoughts that crept slowly into him as he scoffed. He watched wealthy men glide their expensive cars into the private white mansion. He'd been here once to deliver a set of files to Cornell when he was still his subordinate . But now, he was here for a different reason- to surprise them with his presence and ‘gift’. They dared to throw a party after what they did? The thought of the bodyguard, the old man he helped earlier, crept into him again and he shook his head. That would be too easy of a punishment to give to someone that tormented his brother for three years. THEY WOULD BEG ON THEIR KNEES!Sharon! Cornell! Just you wait until you see me.

We thought he was a thief and…”“Do you have any solid proof of that?” She asked, her voice icy. Only then did the two men exchange glances and nodded hesitantly.

“It’s the demon” The male prisoners all said at once as fear enveloped them while they walked past the man who sat in a lotus position with his hands clasped together as if he was praying. However, he wasn't. He was simply communicating with the deities just the same way the old hag, Xavier had taught him in the past three years of being in prison. That moment, Xavier walked in with his head lowered and sat across from him. With his hands folded, he looked at Reed Twist whose expression he could not decipher. “How does it feel to leave the prison tomorrow?” He asked respectfully while Reed’s heart suddenly felt heavy as he clenched his fist. All his mind screamed was revenge against what they had done to him. The thought of the reason he was in jail came running in his mind as he stared into space, trying his best not to let his anger get the best part of him because things could go downhill. Three years ago, he was about to get married to his fiancée, Sharon of seven ye

The drive towards Reed's home seemed like an easy one as the car rolled its wheels down the busy road until they suddenly encountered a stuck in the midst of cars. Reed, who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open only to see what was going on because of the distraction he had encountered. “What’s going on? Is this how it has always been?” Reed asked, coldly as he watched the other cars horn so loudly, also oblivious of what was going on. “It's probably those street launders” The driver said in frustration. Wanting to know what suddenly caused the traffic, his subconscious made way to the very front only for him to see that the first car was delayed because they were currently being robbed and a desperate cry for help. Whosoever wanted to escape would be gunned down. Soon enough, he heard a loud gunshot that scared the driver into trembling.“I… was mistaken… it's those robbers”Anger surged within him because Reed knew they were only wasting his

All eyes darted towards the homeless looking man who looked at them with eyes full of disdain while he took long strides towards them stilled. At first, the robbers were shocked that someone like him could dare to interfere in their business. No one dared to interrupt and they must also wait until they were done with their business before everyone could leave. Then, it turned to a sneer. The young lady feared that this homeless man could make things go worse as she signalled for him to leave in a panic so she could take care of them. However, he pretended as if he did not hear that as he tucked his hand in his ripped out jeans. “Let this woman go,” Reed said calmly, as if none of what was going on mattered to him. However, the leader got infuriated as he pointed his gun at him with a loud glare that threatened to scare off the next vehicle and the next who had seen what was going on in fear. “Who the hell do you think you are, huh?” He asked. Just as he was about to pull the tri

The arrogant cries of Joanna filled the ears of Reed plus the desperate pleas of the old man from earlier.Just two minutes for him to die permanently. He thought as he picked on his fingers, realising how much dust he had gotten into them. “What's your decision, young lady because you have just a half and fifty seconds?” Reed asked again while the woman looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Then, she realized something.The rest of the family did not like her just because the man had taken a special likeness to her when her poor father- her uncle's younger brother had died. When she grew older, he made sure she lacked nothing and even handed the company and other properties to her. If Mr Smith Snr died now, the family would shift the blame on her and forcefully find a way to have the asset gotten from her even if she was the rightful heiress which was why she was doing everything possible to make sure the man stayed alive.

However, at that moment, the old man's voice sufficed. “Anna?”Immediately, she stilled. Time seemed to stop. Her breath ceased as if it was stopped by a stronger force. That voice….

Slowly, she turned around only to see that her uncle had called her..With a gasp of excitement, she ended the live video and rushed towards the man and embraced him tightly, not caring about the man who had taken a minute out of his precious time to save him. “Uncle, I can't believe I would hear your voice again” She muttered, tears streaming her eyes with a smile while Reed scoffed coldly.

“What? Yuck! How can I need someone like him?” Anna muttered with gritted teeth as she watched Reed from a distance with a deep frown on her face as if her uncle had said the most absurd thing.If she ever needed him, it's to get back the blank card and the bodyguard's contact she so much cherished!She appreciated what he did to them but her uncle was taking things too far, obviously! Her uncle had so much complimented that man that she was starting to wonder if he was not some long lost son of his. That moment, Reed's cab passed by and the thought of the old man quickly faded off his mind. It did not take a while later before he eventually got back from the cab, looking around strangely. Jelly street was one of the slum streets downtown but the people were genuinely happy with each other despite the fact that they were poor. However, it was not what it seemed like now. It seemed deserted as if the people had been sent away from their homes. Then, he hesitated, wondering if he w
