Everyone in the bar turned their gaze to Scott, including the bearded man and the woman who was the victim of his slap."Who the fuck are you? Did you even know what you just did to me?!" the bearded man glared at Scott."Yeah, I did. I threw an empty glass at someone who deserved it," Scott said, smirking while raising his chin."You fucking bastard! You're going to regret this stupidity, pal!""Will I? I'm not sure about that."Scott's facial expression and tone clearly showed that he was belittling the bearded man. Of course, this made the bearded man unhappy. He lowered his hand holding his head and found the blood there. He looked back at Scott and grinned."Come here, you son of a bitch! Let's duel like men!" the bearded man challenged."Okay," Scott replied, his hands still in his pants pockets.The bearded man took off his sleeveless vest. Now his large body with a broad, hard chest was visible under his black tank top.The people near the door started to move away. They knew
Scott knew he was in trouble. He had to get away from Evelyn, and fast.“You don’t owe me anything. I just did what I thought I had to do. That’s it,” Scott said, letting go of Evelyn’s hand.Evelyn looked at him, confused, but Scott didn’t care. He brushed past her, leaving her there. Meanwhile, Luisa was making her way back to their table, glancing occasionally in his direction.Evelyn watched Scott’s retreat with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why he had said that. But something else bothered her more: Scott had walked away, refusing her offer to treat him to a drink and stay with her for a while.She felt slighted, especially since she’d put effort into her appearance to work at that bar—to chat with customers, share drinks, and earn good tips.Scott must’ve had a pretty strong reason to turn down an offer like that.Right now, though, Scott wasn’t thinking about Evelyn’s reaction at all. His focus was on Luisa. He quickened his pace, ignoring a few patrons who tried t
Scott was shocked by what the blue-haired man did. He threw Evelyn like he was throwing a plastic bag into a river. Now Evelyn was flying in front of Scott, towards him. He really wanted to catch Evelyn, but he was still holding Luisa.So what Scott did was put his wife's weight on one hand, while he extended the other; he caught Evelyn with his outstretched hand.Luckily, he managed to catch Evelyn, although he had to bend over a bit and that made Luisa's legs touch the sidewalk. At least he didn't have to sacrifice one of them. He also breathed a sigh of relief.But it was too early to be truly relieved. Because, taking advantage of the situation where both of Scott's hands were holding Luisa and Evelyn, the blue-haired man attacked him, launching a straight kick to his chest.Scott didn't have time to dodge. It was also impossible for him to block the attack because both of his hands were unusable.The hard kick hit his chest. However, luckily, he managed to raise his inner strengt
The Blue Devil was stunned by the black flames that engulfed Scott's body. He'd never seen anything like it, and for some reason, he felt his own death was imminent.As his body was pulled down by gravity, Scott braced himself for a strike. The Blue Devil knew he wouldn't have time to dodge. Scott's deadly attack would hit him, inflicting a deep, grievous wound.Pow!Boom!Two blows landed in a split second. The Blue Devil shot back up, higher and higher, then plummeted down, crashing onto the pavement.The impact was so hard, a small crack appeared in the concrete. He vomited blood, staining his pristine white face.At that moment, a taxi emerged from the right side of the road. Scott saw it and immediately stopped it.The taxi pulled over. Scott approached the front door, and the window rolled down."Can you wait a minute? I need you to take me to the Royal Starlight Hotel," Scott said, looking at the taxi driver.The driver nodded, but he looked confused. He glanced at the sidewalk
Evelyn looked at Scott with a questioning gaze."Your wife? The woman with you at the bar, she's your wife?" she asked.Scott nodded. Without hesitation, he moved closer to Evelyn and took her hand."Hurry up. It's a woman thing that I don't really understand," Scott said, pulling Evelyn towards the door."Wait, wait!" Evelyn protested, trying to pull her hand away, but to no avail.Finally, they both left the room. Evelyn didn't have time to grab her phone from the nightstand. She didn't even have time to put on her high heels.Shortly after, they arrived at the hotel room occupied by Scott and Luisa. Using his key card, Scott opened the door and ushered Evelyn inside. Upon entering the room, Evelyn saw a woman lying on her back on a wide, large bed. From her facial expression, she seemed to be in pain.'So, she is Scott's wife?' Evelyn said to herself.Scott closed the door and locked it. He quickly approached the bed and checked his wife's temperature by placing his hand on her for
Scott turned to look at the person who had just spoken so loudly. From his appearance, Scott guessed he was a hotel employee. And that was right. The man was the hotel's operations manager. He happened to be in the lobby and detected a suspicious crowd on the street in front of the hotel."Get out of here. If you don't, I'll call the police!" said Robin, the hotel's operations manager.His steps were firm and confident, indicating his fairly high social status. The two hotel security guards behind him raised their hands holding guns, aiming them at the motorcyclists surrounding Scott."I have no business with you. You'd better go back to the hotel and take care of your work. This is my first and last warning," Jake said.Jake's gaze at Robin was very cold. Scott could feel that what he had just said wasn't just a bluff."Motherfucker! Scum like you are ruining Ravenshire's image as a tourist city. We'll see if you can still act up in front of the police!" Robin said.After saying that
"Lower your weapons. Now!" the Blue Devil commanded.The purple-haired man and the green-haired man stared at each other for a moment, looking confused, but they did as the Blue Devil ordered.Scott glanced at the two of them, his eyes still blazing. Then he looked at the Blue Devil. Slowly, he stood up."Scott," the Blue Devil said, a smile playing on his lips, the pistol still in his hand.Scott stared at the Blue Devil silently, waiting for him to say something. Or was he just greeting him?"Whatever Jake and my men have done, I hope you can forget about it. Besides, I've already killed him," the Blue Devil said, ending his speech by turning to look at Jake, who was now lying lifeless on his back."Master?" the green-haired man looked back at him, seeking an explanation.The Blue Devil looked at him coldly, saying, "You came all the way here, made a fuss, without asking my permission first. Do you still have the guts to question my decision?"The blue-eyed man's eyes widened. He im
In the hotel room occupied by Scott and Luisa."You can relax now. Your wife has taken medicine. Her condition will improve on its own. She just needs rest," Evelyn said.Scott sighed in relief. He looked at his wife who was sleeping. The compress prepared by Evelyn was still on her forehead."Are you sure she'll be okay when she wakes up?" Scott asked."Well, I've done what I can. It's up to you whether you want to give me a proper appreciation or not," Evelyn replied sarcastically.Scott glared at her. He knew Evelyn was upset because she was suddenly asked to handle Luisa's condition, but he was also annoyed by Evelyn's rude behavior."Thank you for helping me," Scott said, but from his tone, he sounded reluctant to say it."You're welcome," Evelyn replied, smiling wryly.Scott tried to ignore his annoyance with Evelyn. Now he approached Luisa, observing his wife closely.Luisa's face was still a little pale, but much better than before. Her body temperature was no longer so high.
