He stood amongst the thugs in the darkness of the night. His cold eyes glanced at his woman, and there was a trace of anxiety in him that was invisible to others. However, it lasted only for a moment. Then he returned to his calm and collected self.
He took a step forward, and the group of men with weapons took two steps back instinctively. All of them were scared out of their wits by his aura! His gaze and his aura were absolutely cold, intimidating, and horrific! It felt like the Asura from hell!
“El… Eldest Young Master Jackson…” one of the thugs greeted him with trembling lips.
That was Eldest Young Master Jackson! How did he have anything to do with that situation? They were paid for the job. Who would have thought that Eldest Young Master Jackson would be involved in it?
The people in Bentson would rather offend the deity than to offend the Jackson family’s eldest young master! He was more terrifying than the gods! One could say that he was as frightening as the devil!
“Big Brother, he… He is alone…” one of the thugs had whispered in the leader’s ear.
The gang leader stared at Hunter. He had finally managed to calm his nerves. His underling was right; Eldest Young Master Jackson was alone. He might have been powerful and terrifying, but they had already stepped on his toes! Even if they had wanted to leave, he might not let them go. There was no other option but to attack him!
“All of you, charge forward! Kill him if you want to live!”
He knew that they could only survive if they were to kill him! If they were to let him live, then they would die! The group of thugs hesitated as they looked at each other. Finally, they made up their minds. Armed with the knives in their hands, they all rushed toward Hunter at the same time.
Emily was afraid, but she wanted to help. However, Terry managed to hold her back.
Terry pushed her toward Joe. Then he picked up Emily’s machete from the ground and kicked the other one toward Hunter.
Hunter glanced at him briefly before he took the machete from the ground. Then, he slashed a man who stood opposite him.
“Argh…” the man screamed as half of his arm hung loosely.
His eyes rolled back, and then he fainted. Eldest Young Master Jackson’s action was swift, firm, and accurate, indeed! He did not kill the other man, but his fate was even worse than death.
The rest of the men was so shocked that they instinctively took a step backward. They feared the Asura-like man!
“Go! Come on! If he’s not dead, then we all have to die!”
The leader of the gang roared, but even he did not dare not take a step forward. However, his underlings knew that he was right. They had offended Eldest Young Master Jackson, and so, only death awaited them. Even if they could walk away from that fight, they would lead a miserable life!
“Go!” Finally, the rest of the men raised their machetes again and rushed toward the tall man.
Terry and Hunter positioned themselves at the front and back of the group so that they could protect the people on the ground between them. There were only two of them, but thugs could not even handle them. The attempt to break the two men’s defense was as hard as to conquer the space!
Every time they engaged in a duel, the parlous battle would grip Emily and Joe’s hearts. Emily was exceptionally anxious, and she sat near to Hunter. Her heart pinched when she saw the men storm toward Hunter with their weapons.
If something were to happen to him, her heart would definitely leap out of her mouth! However, that man was like a steadfast mountain. He had managed to block every attacker that went against him. He was so steady and god-like that his strong back could give a sense of assurance amidst the bone-chilling situation.
“He’s so handsome…” That was the first thing that Sally said when she regained her consciousness.
Hunter and Terry were like fortresses as they fought to protect them. She was not disturbed by the brutal and bloody scene; instead, she was in awe!
They looked so handsome! Those two men had the same cold temperament, and their backs were uniformly cool and attractive! At that moment, their friends all felt inexplicably calm because of their presence.
Terry also did not expect that he could work so well with Hunter. The two of them guarded in four directions, and they had a tacit understanding of each other’s moves, and their defense was flawless.
“Oh no, someone is coming!” a man exclaimed.
“It’s Eldest Young Master Jackson’s people…”
That was enough to scare the thugs witless. Those who could still run threw their weapons on the ground and fled. Eldest Young Master Jackson was already a tough opponent.
Suddenly, those who could still run threw away their weapon and fled. Facing the Eldest Young Master Jackson alone was already a tough fight. What advantage would they have if his people were to join the fight?
They only had about two seconds to flee the scene. Otherwise, it would be too late! Those were who already on the ground lamented their fate.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson!” Liam hurried toward them. When he realized that Hunter and Emily were safe, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in relief. They had already left previously, but the eldest young master ordered him to turn back.
As soon as the car halted to a stop, Eldest Young Master Jackson immediately rushed toward the scene. Liam did not know what had happened, but when he saw Eldest Young Master Jackson’s stern look, he called Ewan Powell without any hesitation.
The eldest young master was as quick as a fox. Liam could not catch up to him as he had to make the call while he ran. Then, he lost track of Eldest Young Master Jackson! He did not expect that the eldest young master had rushed there to rescue the young madam. How did he know that she was in trouble? Was it telepathy?
Behind them, an agile man kicked a big man who had blocked their footpath.
His long legs carried him to Hunter in no time at all, and he reported in a low voice, “Approximately eighteen people had escaped.”
Hunter narrowed his eyes at the escaping figures not far from them and commanded, “Don’t miss any one of them.”
“Yes!” As a bodyguard, Ewan felt guilty when he lost track of Eldest Young Master Jackson. He would not allow any of those people to escape. Otherwise, how could he pay for his grave mistake? Ewan took several people with him, and they went after those thugs.
Liam reported, “Eldest Young Master, someone has reported to the police. I will take care of it. Eldest Young Master should take Young Madam home to rest.”
The bloodstains at the scene were so nasty that it was not difficult to picture the intensity of the battle. The young madam had only been eighteen years old; she must have been scared witless!
Hunter turned around and walked toward Emily, who was still on the ground. He stretched out his hand. Emily got up, but she said anxiously, “I can’t…”
He clasped his hand around her wrist and ordered, “Come home with me.”
What else did she have in mind? After all that had happened, should she not be scared and seek comfort in his arms? She had refused to go with him instead!
“Terry is injured, so I can’t leave yet.” Emily struggled against him lightly. She did not expect the man’s grasp to be so tight that she could not break free.
She added in a pressing tone, “I’ll take Terry to the hospital first.”
Terry had been hurt because of her. If Mu Terry had not blocked that attack for her, she would be the one in a puddle of her own blood. How could she abandon Terry and leave with Eldest Young Master Jackson?
