Abigail was shocked by how easily he had broken the baseball bat. It was thicker than her arm, for goodness sake! And that person had just snapped it in half like it was nothing? This man must be ridiculously strong!
“Is that all you’ve got? How dare you attack my boss when you’re so weak?” One of the bodyguards sneered disdainfully and sent a kick straight to Abigail’s abdomen.
Abigail was sent flying into the air and landed heavily on her back, almost 10 feet away. Blood trickled down from the corners of her lips, and for a moment, she could not even get up. She was all out of internal energy, and her body was exerted beyond its limits. She had no strength left to fight back. But her gaze was still firm; it was obvious she wasn’t ready to admit defeat.
“Oi, bitch! Don’t you ever, for a single second, think that you can pull this kind of shit with me just. because you practice some martial arts! I am from the Charging Tiger gang, and we have countless experts among us. Defeating a small fry like you is a piece of cake for us!” Chad straightened out his suit, walked up to her, and looked down at her condescendingly. “You have only one option now, and that is to obey me. If you do not, I’ll make sure that you regret your decision.”
“Cut the nonsense! Just kill me already!” Abigail forced her words through gritted teeth, ready to embrace death.
“Kill you? Hahaha! You’re not getting out of this so easily!” Chad smirked. “Since you’re not doing as you’re told, I think it’s time I teach you a little lesson. Boys, tear her house down!”
“Yes, sir!” Upon his command, the two excavators that were stopped right in front of the house were immediately ignited. Then, accompanied by the roar of the machinery, they crashed straight through the courtyard fence, over the vegetable patch, and went straight for the house.
“Stop it! Stop this right now!” Abigail was livid. She struggled to get on her feet, but Chad kicked
her to the ground again.
Loud crashing noises could be heard as the excavators tore through the walls and broke
everything down. In no time, the house was tattered and unsteady; it was reduced to piles of
rubble, and fine dust rained down.
“Stop it!” Abigail screamed with all her might as tears streamed down her face. There was nothing
she could do but watch helplessly as her house was torn down. Her heart ached so badly, as though it was cut into pieces. At that moment, it finally dawned on her how essential a person’s
abilities were. Had she been stronger, this would never have happened.
The onlookers sighed as they watched from afar None of them dared to step up and defend the Robinsons, as the perpetrator was from the Charging Tiger gang. One would have to be a fool to
cross them.
Suddenly, an ear-splitting boom was heard, and the house collapsed instantly. Abigail was heartbroken. She could not accept that the place she had called home for so many years and held so many beautiful memories was now in ruins.
“Well? Have you changed your mind yet?” A malicious grin spread out on Chad’s face. “Destroying
1/2
the house was just the start. If you continue to refuse, then your father is next.” With that, he signaled his bodyguards, and they immediately understood what he meant. Without another word, they grabbed hold of Mr. Robinson and pinned him down on the ground. One of them stepped on his head while the other held a machete in his hand, giving him a contemplative look as if he was thinking about where he should start.
“Let go of him!” Gripped by fear, Abigail threw a punch at Chad, but he easily deflected it.
“Abigail, go! Don’t worry about me! Run!” Mr. Robinson shouted.
“My! What a touching scene!” Chad chuckled mirthlessly. “Unfortunately for you, I despise sappy scenes. Boys, chop that old geezer’s hand off!”
“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard, who had a machete with him, answered before swiftly raising the machete above his head.
“No!” Abigail shrieked in despair.
Just as the machete was brought down, a person appeared out of nowhere and grabbed it by the blade. Surprised by the resistance, the bodyguard looked up and found an impassive yet handsome face staring back at him. The person’s face was devoid of any emotion whatsoever. The bodyguard had a gut feeling that the person before him was not an average person but a lurking beast ready to pounce at any moment. The bodyguard felt an unknown terror rise within him.
“It’s you, sir?” Once the initial shock wore off, a wave of relief washed over Abigail, and she could no longer hold back the tears. Her savior had finally arrived.
“Tearing down houses against the owners’ will and assaulting them in public. Where did you get the audacity to do such things?” Dustin asked with an icy glint in his eyes.
