Untouchable Arnold Hayes

Chapter 3

Arnold rounded his eyes. He saw clearly as a burly hand grabbed his mother's long hair. The strong grab of the hair made his mother's head look up. Her face grimaced in pain. Meanwhile, several other people roughly stepped on his father's stomach.

"Let go of me. Please let me go. It hurts so much." Diana's howl sounded heartbreaking.

Her hands struggled to hold on to the hair that the villain was pulling so hard. But no matter how hard she tried to break free, she couldn't fight the villain.

Arnold's blood boiled at the sight of someone torturing his mother. They had gone too far, and Arnold wasn't going to let them. His eyes flashed, and he clenched his fists.

"Let them go!" Arnold's voice echoed. He could not control his anger.

Several people dressed in all-black immediately set their sights on Arnold. Their eyes were red with anger. Someone had interfered in this matter.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere." The man with the thick moustache looked at Arnold with anger. He was watching Arnold from head to toe.

"Let them go!" Arnold gave another warning to some of the people there.

The voice was familiar to Diana and Adam. They both turned around, knowing that the person coming was their son, who had been in prison for four years.

This was a shock. But they were happy to have Arnold back home. At this moment, he was also full of worry.

Diana could feel the man's hand on her hair loosening. She tried to get up, looking at Arnold's face more freely. "Arnold, are you out of prison?" a sense of relief washed over Diana.

Before she could get an answer or reaction from Arnold, laughter could be heard from the men in black. They couldn't control themselves when they heard Dimana's words.

"Oh, he's that trash? Apparently, that trash has gotten out of prison. He should be rotting there."

Arnold stared at them with piercing eyes. He knew that the men were criminals. They had been abusive to his parents. And Arnold would not let them leave here safely.

Arnold's blood boiled. He prepared to give those men their comeuppance.

"Whoever has harmed my parents will get his reward!" Arnold's voice was full of menace.

They looked at each other and laughed together. Their faces were not filled with Fear; instead, they thought Arnold was just a little mouse that needed to be poked.

"Are you threatening us?" Jack, the leader of the gang, reacted to Arnold's threat. He grinned again. After a split second, his face changed and hardened. "You should know that they owe us. They can't pay and deserve it!"

"Debt?" Arnold repeated the sentence.

"Yes, 1 million dollars. And your parents have been in arrears for several months." Jack emphasized.

Arnold was startled. His gaze fell on his mother and father, who were still in the custody of the criminals.

He could hardly believe it. Before he was in prison, everything was still fine. They even owned a few companies. And supposedly, they were able to get a million dollars without going into debt. And now, they were saying that his parents couldn't pay the 1 million dollar debt.

At this time, Arnold began to realize. That his home was different from four years ago. He remembered that the place he was stepping on now should have had a glass cabinet where some of their collections were kept. In fact, he didn't find anything there. The house looked very deserted, with some peeling paint on the walls. Everything was ugly and unkempt.

Arnold thought about everything. He didn't know what he had gone through during his four years in prison. But one thing was for sure: if his family life had gotten worse.

Arnold's gaze fell back on his parents. He looked at them more intensely. Now, Arnold realized that his parents looked older than the last time he saw them. His mother's hair, which had always received care, was now only tied up with a small, worn string.

But Arnold's eyes soon opened wide when he realized that his father had lost a leg. It was shocking to know that his parents were in such a bad state.

Diana shook her head at this point. The expression on her face showed Fear. "Arnold, don't listen to them. You don't need to be here."

"Go inside. Stay out of this, or you'll be dragged into this. They are very dangerous. They are related to gangsters." Diana said it was filled with Fear.

Diana knew that her son had just served four bad years in prison, and she didn't want Arnold to get into trouble again because of them.

"Come in and leave us alone." This time, her voice was full of force.

Jack laughed at the drama. He threw away the cigarette butt he had just smoked. "What your mom said was right. You'd better leave and stay out of this. Being a coward will be safer for you." He said it sarcastically. Cigarette smoke came out of his mouth as he spoke.

Arnold didn't move an inch. He was still staring at his mother and still didn't understand everything that was happening. "Is the 1 million dollars for father's treatment?" Arnold confirmed all that.

Diana could barely look her son in the face. She weakly nodded her head. "Yes, the money was for your father's treatment. And for our lives." She explained softly.

Arnold was shocked, but he was sure that this was all a repeat of the Waston family. It wasn't enough that they had put him in prison. And now, they were destroying his family.

Arnold went over and helped his parents to get up. Arnold also helped his father to get back into the wheelchair.

Seeing the suffering of his mother and father, Arnold's blood boiled. He held his mother's hand gently. "Mom, take dad inside. I'll solve this problem."

Diana refused. She shook her head firmly. "No, no, no. We don't want you to be dragged into this."

"Trust me. I will solve this problem. You guys go inside." Arnold slightly pleaded with his mother.

His parents' faces were doubtful. They didn't want anything bad to happen to Arnold again. "Arnold, don't put yourself in danger again. Let us solve this problem. We just need to submit, and they will leave after venting their anger."

Diana tried to reassure Arnold.

His mother's words made his heart heat up even more. "Mother, you don't deserve this kind of torture. Bring father in, and I'll sort it out." Arnold grasped his mother's hand tightly while his gaze was full of conviction.

Diana hesitated, but her son's words reassured her. In the end, Diana nodded even though she was still filled with worry.

Just as his parents went inside, the villains attacked Arnold simultaneously.

They approached Arnold and laughed. "You idiot! Do you want to go to prison for the second time? But this time, I'm not just sending you to prison, but to hell."

"Finish them off!" Jack gave the order to his five men.

They nodded simultaneously. The five men rushed at Arnold, ready with their punches and kicks from all directions. Knowing that Arnold would have no chance to dodge.

Unexpectedly, Arnold moved very quickly. Moving his arms and legs simultaneously, his attacks hit all five men with great speed.

His eyes quickly moved to Jack, who was still dumbfounded by the action. The man was not really prepared for the attack, so two punches landed hard on his chest and stomach.
