Waves of pain made Elbert Meyer furious, his eyes turning red. Before, despite facing disobedience from many women, there had been counterattacks but never real harm, except from Kimi Hall. She had hurt him.
There was a nail in his foot and it drove him into a blind rage.
“You wretch! Kneel now, or you’ll die today,” Elbert Meyer grabbed Kimi Hall’s hair and shouted.
Former women, even the most defiant, would have been scared at this point, considering it was a matter of life and death. But Kimi Hall spat a mouthful of blood at Elbert Meyer’s face. “Dream on.”
“Ah!” Elbert Meyer felt the spit on his face, feeling insulted for the first time. Who was he, Elbert Meyer, being spat at for the first time? Furious, he grabbed Kimi Hall’s head and smashed it into the nearby machine, entirely made of iron.
“You wretch! How dare you spit at me!”
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Several times he smashed Kimi Hall’s head, leaving it covered in blood. Her consciousness started to fade.
“Today, no one will come to save you. I’ll have my way with you before I kill you,” Elbert Meyer’s face twisted in anger.
With a tear, he tore open Kimi Hall’s jacket. At this moment, Kimi Hall, covered in blood and unable to move, started to reflect on her life. She remembered her parents, who had raised her alone and wanted to see her get married.
But she hadn’t even earned money or pleased them before her demise. She hadn’t even let them see her getting married. She was being unfilial.
Sorry, Mom, Dad.
She was also unfilial to the man she wanted to marry. ‘I’ll just let you think I’m dead.’
Kimi Hall closed her eyes and shed a tear. She had no power to resist.
But then, a loud sound outside heralded the crashing of a door and a burst of light. Kimi Hall partially opened her eyes and saw the familiar face and aura.
“It’s you, Patrick Bailey,” she breathed out these words before closing her eyes again, slipping into unconsciousness. Maybe this final scene before her death was just a dream.
But while she thought it was a dream, Robin Bailey stood at the door, wielding his three-foot-long sword, his true weapon that should only be used in a great battle. However, in his ruthless eyes, there was a strong sense of bloodlust.
He saw everything.
“Who goes there?”
Elbert Meyer also noticed the commotion and looked up, realizing that there was someone with a powerful presence. He angrily said, “I am Elbert Meyer, a scion of the Meyer family. The five major families of Yu Mountain City are on their way here. If you do not wish to become our enemy, then please…”
He wanted to say “step aside.”
But before he could finish, Robin Bailey’s sword moved.
A gentle swipe.
Instantly, countless killing intent swirled towards Elbert Meyer, slicing through the so-called machines like tofu and cutting into Elbert Meyer. He was sent flying and then, the numerous sword intents cut him apart.
“Ah!”
Elbert Meyer felt unimaginable pain, screaming wildly. Countless sword intents cut through him, as if there were countless small knives slashing his body, bringing unbearable pain.
This was something he had never experienced before. A ferocious killing intent, driving him into unending agony.
Meanwhile, Robin Bailey stepped quickly to Kimi Hall’s side and, though filled with anger upon seeing her bloodied jacket and face, he first carefully removed his overcoat and placed it over Kimi Hall, then lifted her up.
In that moment, Isabella Turner ran in from the outside. She wasn’t as fast as Robin Bailey but saw the haunting sight of the girl in his arms, which hurt her heart.
“These damned animals,” Isabella Turner couldn’t help but curse. She understood what had happened, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
Animals!
She detested these people the most.
“By the way, boss, I just received word. The person in charge of recruitment has informed the Meyer family, and most of their family members are on their way here. Should we…?” Isabella Turner asked weakly, wanting to know if they should go back and help.
Maybe even consult the director at the police station. He seemed very respectful, should they go find him?
“Perfect timing. I was just getting ready to find them,” Robin Bailey embraced Kimi Hall, ice in his eyes.
Then, he carried Kimi Hall out, jumping onto the roof of the abandoned factory. Not even ten minutes passed, and a large group of powerful auras rushed over. Foremost among them was Austin Meyer, the Meyer family’s true heir.
“Patrick Bailey, where’s my brother?” Austin Meyer asked, his expression dark as he came forward.
He had a bad feeling.
“Your brother, here.” Robin Bailey gestured and brought Elbert Meyer up, presenting him to them. They were all taken aback, for he was barely recognizable as a person. A bloody mess, yet still alive. When Elbert Meyer saw Austin Meyer, he hoarsely pleaded, “Brother… help me… help me…”
His eyes were bloodshot, not from fury, but from the pain.
“Patrick Bailey,” Austin Meyer turned to Robin Bailey, who had gotten the name from Wheeler Winfield, and said, “It’s not time for war yet. Let my brother go.”
“Not time for war? Heh,” Robin Bailey scoffed, “I will destroy your family, the Meyer family. When should we wait for the so-called timing of war? I make the rules.”
“You…” Austin Meyer’s face darkened, and he waved his hand, “Patrick Bailey, are you sure? I’m telling you, today we have our own experts. The rules are not made by you, but by strong individuals. I’ll ask you one more time, will you let him go or not?”
He was questioning Robin Bailey.
He didn’t want to start a war, but he wasn’t afraid of it either. Their family had just received powerful experts from the north of West State. The reason they didn’t want to start a war was because they were afraid of suffering heavy losses after dealing with Patrick Bailey. They didn’t want others to take advantage, especially the cunning Winfield family.
