Howard Clark laughed triumphantly, “Who cares if we’re bandits? If you don’t tell me who the man with you last night was, I won’t let you off today!”
At the same time, Chris Shelby arrived on the third floor. When he saw Howard Clark and his men holding Marie and threatening to disfigure her, his eyes filled with rage.
Bang! With a loud noise, Chris Shelby kicked the door open without hesitation.
Chris Shelby roared, “Stop right now!”
“Mr. Shelby!” Marie’s face lit up with joy when she saw Chris Shelby. She hadn’t expected him to come to her rescue.
Chris Shelby looked at Marie with concern, “Marie, are you alright?”
Marie shook her head, “Mr. Shelby, I’m fine!”
Seeing that Marie was unharmed, Chris Shelby breathed a sigh of relief. Marie felt guilty, “Mr. Shelby, I’ve caused you trouble again.”
Ever since she met Chris Shelby, Marie had brought him several troubles, making her feel uneasy.
Chris Shelby said, “Marie, what are you talking about? This time it’s entirely my fault that you’re in this situation. Besides, I’ve always seen you as a sister. When a sister is in trouble, of course the brother has to help.”
Hearing this, Marie was deeply moved.
Howard Clark sneered at Chris Shelby, “So it’s you! You really walked into hell on your own. I was looking for you anyway; didn’t expect you’d come right to me.”
Chris Shelby glared at Howard Clark, “Let her go. She has nothing to do with this.”
Howard Clark grinned menacingly, “You want me to let her go? Let’s see if you have the ability.”
With that, a dense sound of footsteps approached. Hundreds of patrol officers armed with electric batons surrounded Chris Shelby from all directions.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby sneered, “Looks like you were prepared for this!”
“Hahaha!” Howard Clark laughed triumphantly, “Kid, you’re dead for coming here! Offending our patrol office means you’re done for.”
Chris Shelby looked disdainful, “Really? Let’s see if you have what it takes to kill me.”
“Still so arrogant even at death’s door,” Howard Clark said angrily. He couldn’t believe that Chris Shelby would be so brazen even when surrounded by thousands of his men.
Howard Clark waved his hand and shouted, “Brothers, get him! Beat him to death!”
“Kill him!” The crowd roared as they charged at Chris Shelby with electric batons.
Seeing them rush forward, Chris Shelby’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Since you want to die so badly, don’t blame me!”
With a swift movement, Chris Shelby turned into a blur and charged forward. In an instant, he was fighting fiercely with the patrol officers.
Howard Clark watched with a cruel smile; he was certain that Chris Shelby would die this time. No one who offended their patrol office ever had a good end.
Seeing Chris Shelby being attacked by hundreds of patrol officers, Marie’s face filled with worry. She muttered anxiously, “Mr. Shelby, please be safe!”
Howard Clark chuckled and said to Marie, “Don’t worry; once he’s dead, it’ll be your turn next! My brothers will take good care of you.”
Marie cursed angrily, “You bastards are worse than animals! Once we get out of here, we won’t let you off!”
Howard Clark sneered mockingly, “Really? I’d like to see how you’ll get out of here.”
“You…” Marie was so furious that she couldn’t speak.
Meanwhile, Chris Shelby punched one officer after another. Each punch sent an officer flying. Despite their numbers and electric batons, they were no match for Chris Shelby’s strength.
In just ten minutes, all the patrol officers were lying on the ground defeated by Chris Shelby alone.
“This is impossible!” Howard Clark’s face was filled with disbelief as he saw his men defeated.
Marie shouted excitedly, “Mr. Shelby, you’re amazing!”
Chris Shelby looked up coldly at Howard Clark and said, “Now it’s your turn.” He began walking towards Howard Clark.
Panicking, Howard Clark stammered, “Kid… don’t come any closer! I’m the captain of the patrol office; this is our territory! If you do anything to me… you’ll never leave here alive…”
“Is that so?” Chris Shelby mocked. “A mere captain means nothing to me. To be honest, you’re less than an ant in my eyes.”
“I…” Howard Clark’s face turned pale with anger at being belittled.
“You dared to capture my friend; today you’ll pay the price!” Chris Shelby snarled as he prepared to attack.
Suddenly, Howard Clark pulled out a sharp knife and held it against Marie’s neck. “Don’t come any closer! Or I’ll kill her!”
“You’re despicable!” Chris Shelby’s eyes flashed coldly at Howard Clark’s threat.
“But do you think this will make me yield? You’re too naive!” With disdain in his voice and another step forward from Chris Shelby,
Howard Clark grew frantic. “I told you to stop! Or I’ll really kill her…”
Before he could finish speaking, Chris Shelby vanished from sight and reappeared instantly before Howard Clark,
Punching him hard in the chest, sending him flying across the room where he crashed heavily onto the ground.
Looking down at him coldly, Chris said sternly: “You’re not qualified to threaten me!”
With a powerful stomp, he broke Howard Clark’s ribs instantly.
“Mr. Shelby!” Marie called out excitedly seeing Howard subdued, Chris turned concerned asking: “Marie are you okay?”
Marie nodded reassuringly: “Don’t worry Mr. Shelby I’m fine!”
“Let’s go,” said Chris preparing to leave with her, when suddenly an unexpected event occurred…
