Chapter 99


    Since Jared was in trouble because of her, she decided to sacrifice her life. After all, she couldn’t sit


    idly by and watch Jared be killed in front of her. As a massive gush of wind blew against her face, Hilda


    closed her eyes in fear. She gripped onto Jared tightly so that she could keep him behind her. Maria


    couldn’t help but scream, “Hilda!” Although she had just gotten to know Hilda, Maria liked Hilda for her


    great personality.


    Hence, she couldn’t resist calling out, as she felt it would be a shame for Hilda to die on Jared’s behalf.


    At the same time, watching Bob’s rapidly approaching fist caused Hilda to feel death knocking on her


    door. After the strong gust of wind blew over, nothing else happened. When she finally opened her


    eyes, she noticed Bob’s fist had stopped a few inches away from her. Jared had intercepted it and


    halted the attack.

    At that instant, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. Bob in particr waspletely stupefied. He


    could feel the boundless energy Jared was emitting. No matter how much strength he used, his efforts


    were futile. “If you weren’t Tommy’s subordinates, all of you would have already been dead.” With a


    gentle push, Bob’s body was sent backpedaling before crashing onto the ground. When he saw what


    happened to Bob, Charlie was infuriated.


    “F*ck, you’re nothing but a piece of trash. How can you be defeated by a kid?” Charlie mmed a kick


    into Bob. Getting up to his feet quickly, Bob hung his head in shame. Although he had fallen down, he


    wasn’t harmed at all. Jared had shown him mercy because Bob was technically his subordinate. “Let


    us go, and this matter will be over. Or else, you will definitely regret it,” Jared warned Charlie. “Regret?”


    Charlie sneered. “Regret isn’t a word that resides in my dictionary.” Just as he spoke, the door to the


    room busted open. Tens of men with machetes in their hands entered and had Jared and his group


    quickly surrounded. When they were surrounded earlier, the men who did so were bare-handed.


    Despite how hostile they looked, Zayne and the others could still maintain theirposure. But right


    then, having been surrounded by men who were brandishing weapons, Zayne and the others were


    petrified by the cold glint of steel. Some of them fainted from fear while many others peed their pants.


    Even Zayne was no exception as he quivered in his wet pants. “Kid, are you challenging me to turn you


    into mush?” Charlie hissed.


    “If I recall correctly, didn’t Tommy tell you to run your business in a legal manner and not to go around


    using violence? Shouldn’t you check with him before letting this matter get out of hand?” Jared


    questioned calmly. Charlie was unnerved by Jared’s words. After shooting him a nce, he hesitated


    before instructing a subordinate, “Watch them closely and don’t let anyone escape. I’m going out to


    give Mr. Lewis a call.”


    With that, Charlie left the office with the phone. Seeing Charlie on his way to check with Tommy, Zayne


    and the others couldn’t be more terrified. After all, Tommy was infamous in Horington for his


    ruthlessness and tendency for killing without batting an eyelid. If Tommy got involved, they were sure


    that they were all going to be killed.


    In fact, they might even be tortured before losing their lives. When he saw Charlie leave to call Tommy,


    Zayne red at Jared and admonished him, “Jared, you idiot! Why did you have to pull Mr. Lewis into


    this? All of us are finished.”
