The training ended at dusk, and all of them left the training ground to return to their rooms.
Henry wiped the sweat off his body as he trailed behind Michael.
“Eldest Brother, each of our comrades have their own capabilities. I don’t think it’ll take long before we can send them on assignments.”
“Hmm.” Michael nodded without any further comment.
Henry hesitated for a moment before he asked, “When do you plan to retaliate?”
He was the CEO of Williams Corporation, so there was no way he could stay there for long. Henry knew that the training sessions were only a small part of the reason his eldest brother was there.
Once those people collected money and experienced Eldest Young Master Williams’s bold attitude, it was likely that they would not leave out of regret. After all, Eldest Young Master Williams could provide them with a future, one that was many times better than the days of war in Aryastan.
In addition to that, everyone in Bentson was familiar with Michael’s reputation. They could achieve many things if they had such an influential boss. Few men would give up on such a great opportunity. They could work at any time, and the training was just an avenue for everyone to bond and cooperate.
His eldest brother did not need to stay there all the time. What could be a more important reason for him to stay there if not for Elena? How much did Eldest Brother sacrifice for that woman? A pregnancy would take at least nine months. Did he plan to stay there until the woman gave birth?
“Eldest Brother, our people have already managed to infiltrate Paradise Island’s den. They are only waiting for your order to join forces with the police and take them by surprise!”
Henry felt excited when he thought about it! Those people who had troubled his eldest brother would soon suffer their just desserts! How could a member from the Williams family allow themselves to be bullied without any repercussions?
Michael’s eyes dimmed. Two seconds later, he said, “I have my own arrangements. In the next few days, let everyone get to know each other first.”
“Eldest Brother…” What did he mean when he said ‘get to know each other’?
They were as bloodthirsty as wolves, and they would get to know each other as long as they fought together!
“Our security company is ready as well. Just bring them back and give them new identities as employees of the company!
“We’ll talk more in a few days!”
Michael then walked away. Henry sighed and looked helplessly at the man’s stiff back profile. Everything Michael did was for Elena. He could not understand how a normal woman like her would worth so much to his eldest brother!
Even though Michael seemed calm, his pace quickened because he knew his woman waited for him in the room. She had hinted that she was too lonely there. Even if he had left with a bellyful of grievances, he felt guilty when she said she was lonely.
That was why he did not even think about what Henry had said after he finished the training. He wanted to go back and see her instead. Michael’s thoughts were filled with images of his lovely wife and their unborn baby. He was so excited that he could not wait to see her!
As soon as he approached the door of the wooden house, Eldest Young Master Williams—who had a good ear—suddenly stopped. What was that sound from inside the room?
“I don’t want to stay here. Henry, you said you would tell him about this, why are we still sneaking around?”
What did that mean?
Even though Eldest Young Master Williams had been in the business world for so many years, he had never met his match yet. It was a simple sentence, but he did not understand it.
Perhaps it was because he did not want to understand.
Henry’s deep voice had indescribable tenderness and pity in them. Michael did not know what Henry was doing, but it sounded like he was talking to a girl in his embrace.
“Big Brother really likes you; even I can see that…”
“What about you? You said you love me, were you lying to me?”
Elena’s voice was hoarse. Had she been crying?
Michael’s heart dropped. Even if he were any dumber, he could still get a rough idea of what had happened. He did not want to believe it…
“Don’t be so anxious. You’re carrying a baby …”
“I don’t want this baby at all! This baby is the devil! It reminded me of that night, of how Michael treated me!”
Elena’s emotions seemed quite out of control. It was as if she had struggled to get those words out of her lips.
Henry hugged her and said, “The doctor said your condition is not stable. Don’t do anything rash. It might hurt the child!”
“Let it hurt if it hurts! I told you that I don’t want the child at all! I only want children from you! Why must this child come into my life?”
“Elena, don’t do anything hasty. Listen to me. Calm down! You need to calm down!”
It sounded like Henry was at his wit’s end. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! I’ll talk to Big Brother. I’ll tell him immediately!”
He hugged Elena again and gently brought her to the bed so that she could sit down. He exhaled and coaxed her softly, “I’ll tell him, okay? Don’t worry. I will definitely tell him.”
“Are you worried that it would affect your brotherhood with him? Aren’t you afraid that he would lash out at you?”
Elena did not seem to believe his words, and she wanted to get up again. Henry pushed her back down again. His action was forceful, but gentle too.
“I’ll tell him, believe me! I’ll definitely tell him that this is for our happiness, and I… I won’t give you to Big Brother anymore.”
“Don’t lie to me…” Elena leaned back into his arms and sobbed in a low voice.
At that moment, the door was kicked open. It startled both of them, and they turned to look at the doorway at the same time.
The wooden door laid on the ground like a corpse, and a cold and lonely figure stood there.
His woman had said that she did not want their baby! It was his child!
She said that she did not want him at all—she said she only wanted a baby with another man!
The blood in Michael’s body bubbled. A part of his body had been torn apart and mutilated!
It had hurt! Even bullets that passed through his body and the pain of a knife on his flesh did not feel as bad as that!
A metallic taste flowed from his chest to his lips, but he did his best to suppress it.
He stared at the girl who had stood up from the bed in shock. His cold eyes were filled with confusion, and a large part of it was due to disbelief.
Elena seemed terrified, and she went to hide in Henry’s arms! His woman had sought refuge in another man’s arms!
“Let go of her!” Michael’s voice was hoarse as he strode toward them.
“It has nothing to do with her; it was me…”
Henry did not get to finish his sentence when Michael stuck out at his chest with his fist. Henry did not dodge the attack. He bore the full force of that punch.
Another dull thud of a punch was heard, and it was a shock beyond words! Henry took a few steps backward to stabilize his pace.
The expression on his face did not change, but scarlet liquid had trickled from the corners of his lips…
