Stanford didn’t even notice Florence and Ernest. He didn’t even stop, he walked towards the hall swiftly.
His gaze was sharp.
Kieran who took over the hall could sense a dangerous presence coming at him.
His whole body tensed up and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the elevator. He saw an extremely hostile and belligerent Stanford walking towards him.
When they met eyes, Kieran couldn’t help but shiver.
Stanford’s aura was terrifying.
But soon, Kieran realized that Stanford was powerless as he was alone. So, what if he had a terrifying aura? Kieran had more than ten bodyguards around him, and he had Phoebe, an important hostage with him. He was the one having control over the situation.
“Ah, Stanford. I thought you didn’t dare to come.”
Stanford didn’t even look at him. He stared at Phoebe with his dim yet sharp gaze.
Her hands were tied behind her back and she was forced to bend down slightly. Her eyes were flickering. They were filled with fear, and she was obviously frightened.
He then noticed the red mark on her face. He became really hostile and was furious.
His deep voice was extremely daunting, “Who hit you?”
Phoebe looked at Stanford all flabbergasted. She felt embarrassed.
She looked extremely disconcerted right now and thought that she was a burden.
She pursed her lips tightly and didn’t say anything.
Stanford got even more exasperated seeing how dispirited she was. His rage was uncontrollable.
If she wasn’t going to say anything, then he would just tear off everyone’s limbs here!
He walked forward with a dark look on his face.
His aggressive and chilling aura was intimidating. The bodyguards quickly put up their fighting stance.
Kieran was also intimidated by Stanford. Even though he had the numbers, he was still scared.
He yelled and warned Stanford.
“Stanford, stop right there! Phoebe is in my hands. If you don’t stop moving, don’t blame me if I hurt her.”
Stanford continued walking forward, his eyes turned even more frigid than before.
“I will break your arm if you dare touch her.”
He sounded so nefarious. It was as if to him he had already broken their arms.
Kieran also felt a shiver down his arm.
Florence walked into the hall afterwards. She couldn’t help but say after seeing Stanford.
“My brother looks extremely scary like this.”
He was enraged because he was worried about his beloved.
But looking at him like that, Florence felt more at ease. Since Stanford was so worried, he would be able to safely rescue Phoebe.
And he would give Kieran a lesson!
Ernest looked at how shock Florence was. His eyes dimmed and he cautiously asked.
“Are you scared?”
Florence quickly shook her head, “Of course not. That’s my brother, I’m not afraid of him no matter what he turns into.”
After hearing that, Ernest smiled. He smiled earnestly.
He was pleased with the answer.
If she wasn’t scared of Stanford, then she wouldn’t fear him if he ever got angry like that.
If something happened to Florence, he would probably be like Stanford.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a horrible shriek could be heard.
One of the bodyguards tried to go up and halt Stanford in his tracks. There was a quick attack and suddenly, the bodyguard lost his arm. The bodyguard yelled painfully and rolled on the ground in agony.
The other bodyguards were stunned, they were taken aback.
They weren’t expecting Stanford to be so vicious. How could he be so strong that he could tear off an arm single-handedly so quickly?
“What are you guys standing around for? Attack!”
Kieran yelped furiously.
The bodyguards snapped out of it after getting yelled at. They attacked Stanford simultaneously.
It was one against many.
“You guys are shameless!”
Florence was heated, she wanted to go up, “I’m going to help him.”
“No need.”
Ernest grabbed her by the arm and hugged her in his arms. She was tiny in his arms. He then said slowly.
“Don’t worry, your brother can handle this on his own.”
On his own?
One against more than ten people at once?
Florence thought that it was too careless, but what happened the next moment changed her mind.
The bodyguards that rushed up to Stanford were on the floor in a blink of an eye.
They were in the same position, they were all bawling as they grabbed their shoulder.
Their right arms were torn off!
The bodyguards’ faces changed, it was as if they met a demon. His speed and his strength, was he still human at this point?
Even a murder weapon wasn’t as terrifying as he was.
Kieran was also petrified. He didn’t think that Stanford could be so powerful alone.
He had more than ten people with him and he still couldn’t win the fight.
He yelled panickily, “Quick, an all-out attack! Kill him!”
They all went up, more than tens of them.
They tried to be bold as they had the numbers. They also didn’t dare to disobey Kieran’s order. They all went up at once.
They were so many, it was as if they could just drown Stanford with their bodies by jumping at him.
Phoebe was perturbed, she squealed agitatedly.
“Stanford, don’t fall for their trap! They just want me as a hostage, don’t bother about me.”
Stanford looked at Phoebe with a dim look on his face. His voice wasn’t loud, but she could hear everything he said clearly.
“Don’t be scared, I will rescue you.”
His words made Phoebe breathless.
She looked at him all floored as his words kept repeating in her mind.
“Don’t be scared, I will rescue you.”
He would rescue her and he was telling her not to be afraid. It was the ultimate compassion.
Phoebe’s heart was pounding hard. She couldn’t tell what she was feeling, but there was a tingly sensation in her nose.
The bodyguards attacked Stanford all at once. But miraculously, they didn’t manage to halt Stanford in his tracks at all.
They all fell one after another and were grabbing their shoulder while rolling on the ground in the same position.
Stanford’s clothes got a bit messy, but he had no wounds on his body. His attacks were quick and vicious, he looked like a death machine.
The bodyguards fell one after another.
Soon, only a few of them were left standing.
Kieran was stupefied. His eyes were so wide open, they looked like they were going to fall out of his socket anytime.
What kind of monster Stanford was?
How could someone be so powerful?
But what was important was that with this speed, soon the one who was going to lose their arm would be him.
Kieran was a businessman, he wasn’t a fighter. His delicate body couldn’t handle that.
He was afraid.
In a midst of fear, he pulled Phoebe who was being constrained by one of the bodyguards and put her in front of him. He pulled out a very sharp knife and pressed it against her neck.
He yelled.
“Stanford, stop right now or else I’ll kill her!”
Stanford threw away the person in his hand abruptly like a bowling ball and struck a bunch of other bodyguards.
He looked at Kieran extremely coldly as if he was the grim reaper.
