Chapter 4 More Punishmen
The bright moon shone in the inky sky the following night.
In the Rinas Infirmary.
"Good evening, Mr. Warren!" Raul greeted Horace reverentially as soon as he entered the ward.
Then he saw Caylee lying on bed and also greeted her, "Good evening, Madam Potter!"
Raul knew this woman in front of him. She used to be the maid of Horace''s biological mother. Her full
name was Caylee Potter. It turned out that she had painstakingly raised Horace for the past eighteen
years. When Horace''s father found out, he told them to ord her the same respect they would have
given histe wife.
"Good evening!" Horace nodded to his greeting. He then said to his mother, "Mom, I need to head out
now. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, go ahead, Horace!"
Horace gave her a kiss on the forehead before heading out with Raul.
"Mr. Warren, do you need someone to help you take care of Madam Potter?" Raul asked once they got
outside.
"No, thanks. She likes peace. I can take care of her myself."
"Okay, Mr. Warren."
They both walked to the parking lot and soon reached Raul''s car. Raul gently opened the back seat
door and did the wee hand gesture.
After Horace got in, he got behind the wheel.
He served as Horace''s chauffeur today as a sign of respect for him.
"I''ve prepared a banquet for you at the Sea Pavilion tonight, Mr. Warren. All the heads of the affiliates
of the Warren family in Rinas areing to pay homage to you!" Raul filled him in.
Horace nodded and closed his eyes to rest.
Sleep had eluded him for thest few days. He was always at his foster mother''s bedside and
monitored her vital signs while she slept.
A voice had kept telling him that she would pass away if he slept a wink. As a result, he stared at her
sick face all night long.
Fortunately, the operation was sessful and the doctor who examined her this morning had said that
she was recovering very well and she would be as fit as a fiddle in no time.
The knots of worry inside Horace didn''t loosen up until he heard that positive report.
"By the way, Mr. Warren, I heard aboutst night''s incident. You handled the situation well, but I don''t
think the punishment was ruthless enough!" Raulmented suddenly.
He carefully observed Horace''s reaction through the rearview mirror.
Horace slowly opened his eyes. They had a hint of weariness in them. "Yes, he stepped on my toes.
But that doesn''t mean he deserves to die. I just hope he has learned a lesson. If he dares to provoke
me again, I won''t cut him some ck like yesterday!"
''Why am I expecting him to go all out to punish his enemy? After all, until yesterday, he was just a
young high school graduate. It was normal for him to be softhearted, '' Raul thought to himself.
He was genuinely worried that Horace would have a hard time in the future.
They arrived at the Sea Pavilion about thirty minutester.
The impressive building was lit with several bright lights. The luxurious decoration made the whole
ce look noble and exquisite.
On the way, Raul had told him that the Sea Pavilion was actually the Warren family''s property. This
meant that it was now his.
Now Horace further realized that his family was a real giant and their power was beyond what he had
imagined.
Raul had said that the Warren family was one of the top yers that controlled the world''s economy.
They rubbed shoulders with international bodies and families.
Horace looked at the magnificent building in front of him and sighed.
He slowly got off the car.
A familiar and disdainful voice suddenly wafted into his ears from behind.
"Horace, have you no shame? I told you that we are done. Stop being a pest. I can never go back to
my vomit. Why are you following me around?"
Horace immediately spun on his heels to see the owner of this voice. It was his ex-girlfriend, Amaia.
He didn''t expect to meet her here.
She was standing with someone at this time. This person was Addy
whose face was red and puffy.
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Just when he was about to say something in his defense, Amaia continued, "That reminds me. Where
were youst night? Addy asked you to meet him at the abandoned chemical nt. Why did you stand
him up?"
"Mr. Warren! You don''t have to put up with this. How about I clean up this mess immediately?"
A trace of anger shed across Raul''s face when he heard Amaia speaking so rudely.
He stepped in and asked for Horace''s permission.
Although he badly wanted to shut Amaia''s running mouth with a hot p first, he had to restrain himself
because it would be inappropriate to do it without permission.
Horace chuckled when he saw that Raul was angry. "Don''t sweat it. Let the dogs bark, the lion is still
king. There''s no point barking back at a dog. Let''s go!"
Horace was about to turn around, but Amaia''s voice stopped him.
"Bravo! Horace, you''re extremely good at putting up an act. Not only did you rent a car, but you also
hired a chauffeur. I''m so moved!"
Amaia held her chest and closed her eyes solemnly as if she was indeed touched. But when she
opened her eyes, they were filled with sheer disdain. "Bah! Fake life will get you nowhere. While you
rented these to show off, Addy really has them and even more!"
After saying that, she hugged Addy tightly and rubbed her breasts against his body.
Her public disy of affection shocked Horace to the bones. He couldn''t believe that this was the same
girl he had dated. "People usually break up and move on to better partners. But in your case, you have
downgraded yourself. Look at what you left me for. Addy has been beaten ck and blue. Do you still
like him?"
"Shut up! I only downgraded myself by dating someone like you in the first ce. Be truthful to yourself.
Do you look like my spec? Aargh! What was I even thinking?"
Amaia eyed him from head to toe and continued, "Horace, money rules the world. I can suck up to you
like this if you are rich. Do you have any money? You are so poor that you even sold your crooked
house. Tell me. What do you have to your name now? Oh, I know. You have nothing but poverty!"
"Ha-ha!" Addy burst intoughter after hearing his girlfriend''s words.
"Horace, even though we only met yesterday, I once texted you and offered you ten thousand dors
so I could sleep with Amaia for one night, but you vehemently refused. Now that you have lost her and
the money, how do you feel? Do you wish to turn back the hands of time?" Addy asked with a
contemptuous smirk.
"Amaia, don''t you think you are being too cheap? I honestly feel sorry for you. We had something good
going on. A lion adored you, but you chose to date a dog. What a shame!" Horace tut-tutted
disappointedly.
He then nced at Addy and added, "Do you think he can make you happy because he''s rich?"
Addy retorted, "Hold on a second. Are you calling yourself a lion? Bah! You are nothing but a fucking
stray dog! A lion, my foot. Ha-ha!"
"Addy, have you ever experienced despair?" shing a sinister grin, Horace continued, "Not to worry.
You will get to experience it a second time. Don''t you like trampling on people? Aren''t you
unscrupulous because of your family''s wealth? I''ve taken it upon myself to teach you the simple
manners you should have learned long ago!"
He then turned around. "Raul!" Horace, who had been unwilling to ept his true identity, was now
ready to use the power to put bad people in their ce. ''This wasn''t a bad idea, after all!'' he thought to
himself.
"Yes, Mr. Warren. I''m at yourmand!"
Raul had been suppressing his anger to prevent it from exploding. Thus, he was in high spirit when
Horace called on him.
He bowed and then stood at ease.
Pointing at Addy, Horacemanded, "Make the Cloud Logistics Company go bankrupt!"
"Go bankrupt? Mr. Warren, this man crossed the line today. The punishment is too light. How about we
just destroy the entire Moran family?" Raul suggested overzealously.
