Chapter 71: An Opportunity

Book:Fallen Heir Rising Published:2024-6-5

As the last thug lost his combat ability, Quentin finally stopped. On the ground, around a hundred people lay moaning in agony…
Quentin leaped up to the second floor in one swift motion.
“You, don’t come any closer!” Zaire, terrified, retreated.
Quentin grabbed him and fixed him with a cold, menacing gaze. “Which hand hit my father-in-law?”
“L-Lef-left hand.”
Feeling the immense murderous intent, Zaire was petrified, and his pants were soaked.
“Then I’ll disable your left hand.”
Zaire’s left hand was instantly severed, the pain causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
“Which foot kicked him?”
“I… I…”
A crisp sound cut through the air.
Zaire’s right foot was broken!
It was too painful…
But how could he dare to speak? The man in front of him was simply terrifying, taking down over a hundred people without a scratch!
Killing him was like slaughtering a chicken!
“Sir, I was wrong…” Zaire hastily pleaded, “I didn’t intend to hurt your father-in-law. I was manipulated by someone.”
“How much did Nikolas pay you?” Quentin sneered.
“Th-Thirty, 300 thousand!”
“What else did he tell you? Tell the truth, and I might spare your life.”
“He asked me to disrupt those people’s construction and not to have them make it…”
“I really didn’t know Miss Pittman is your wife…”
Zaire’s head was slammed hard into the wall behind him!
“Do you know now?”
“Yes, yes…” Zaire nodded repeatedly, bowing deeply.
Just then, Zaire’s phone rang. It was Nikolas’s calling, and it startled him.
He wanted to hang up, but Quentin coldly commanded, “Answer.”
Trembling, he answered the call.
“Hello? Zaire, have you finished what I asked you to do today? I heard from Charlotte that they need to go to the construction site tomorrow! You better teach them a lesson tomorrow, we’ll go over to watch the fun as well!”
Zaire was at his wit’s end, looking fearfully at Quentin.
A sly smile formed at Quentin’s lips. “Just tell them to come tomorrow and give them a surprise.”
Zaire nodded and relayed Quentin’s words to Nikolas.
“Hahaha, great! We’ll see your performance tomorrow, Zaire!”
After hanging up, Quentin looked mockingly at Zaire. “Do you know what to do tomorrow?”
“Please instruct me, sir.”
Zaire swallowed nervously.
“There happens to be a shortage of people at the construction site. I’ll spare your lives, but you’ll have to do menial work… any objections?”
“None at all! We’re more than willing!” Zaire’s face froze with a forced smile.
“One more thing,” Quentin’s expression turned grim, “Ensure that Nikolas and his crew pay the price…”
The next day, Charlotte had risen early to prepare to head out with the construction team.
However, Maverick and Nikolas, father and son, emerged from another side.
“Charlotte, we heard that the construction progress is good. We are also going to see how it’s coming along.”
The father and son seemed to be gloating. Today was the day Zaire was going to make a big move, an excellent opportunity to embarrass Charlotte.
