Grayson frowned. Trent was a gangster who dealt in some pretty messed up businesses. He had a ton of gangsters under him who were willing to do anything.They had all given up on life. They were willing to do anything because they no longer cared, which meant that they were extremely ruthless.A lot of Maltford's elite weren't afraid of them, but they were too lazy to start anything. After all, getting on the wrong side of a criminal was much worse than getting on the wrong side of a gentleman.It wasn't good news that Scott had gotten himself involved with them.If he did kill someone, things would be even harder to settle.Grayson knew quite a bit about Scott. He was aggressive and reckless."Watch him. I'll go there now."Grayson didn't want Scott to actually kill anyone, so he headed out.In the meantime, Belle was waiting for the bus at the bus stop.She'd left the house for quite some time since she planned to check up on the rental house before meeting Ginger.While wa
Belle had already walked over to Tristan. She frowned and looked at him. She didn't know his name, but he was a familiar face. She knew he was Grayson's friend.Belle didn't reply. She chose to walk straight to Scott and said with a frown, "Are you crazy?""What are you doing here?" Scott asked."If you want to fight, at least make it one-on-one. What are you doing going solo against eight people? Did you hit your head too hard?" she retorted.Scott was about to reply when the gangsters began to speak up again. "Is this your little sidekick? Are you trying to trade her off with us?""She's quite the looker. If you let her give us a good time for just one night, we'll let you go." Scott picked up another glass bottle and smashed it against one of their heads. "Don't say that shit.""You pussy! What's with the ambush?" The man touched the blood on his head and rushed forward with a knife in hand.Belle frowned and grabbed his wrist. She casually flipped him over her shoulder, an
The captain of the security guards stared in shock. "What a daring young lady.""Who cares about daring? Go and help! If she gets hurt, you're all dead meat!" Tristan said agitatedly."Wait, but they're under Trent! If we help, we'll get on their bad side. What about our business?""Idiots! Trent is nothing compared to her! Go help!"Although logically, it was bad to offend people like Trent. It wasn't good for business. However, his best friend's wife was getting into a fight. Even though Tristan didn't want to get involved, he couldn't ignore it now.After yelling at his guards, Tristan quickly called Grayson.He knew Belle was a good fighter and wouldn't lose a fight, but Trent was backing them up. It wasn't good to get on the bad side of someone so petty.He had to tell Grayson about Belle getting involved.Grayson was still in the way. The moment he heard that Belle was there and that she was involved in the fight, he panicked.He was much more panicked than he had been
Soon enough, Trent showed up. The moment he appeared, the atmosphere grew tense again.Trent was tall and broad. A rival had dug up his left eye, so he only had his right eye left. His body was littered with scars, and he clearly led a violent life.He looked at his subordinates, who were lying broken on the floor with a dark expression.One of the subordinates began to complain, "Right there! They're the ones who disrespected you! We already mentioned that we were under you, and yet they still picked a fight! They're purposely trying to question your authority! If word of this got out, how are we going to continue in Maltford?"Trent kicked him away. "Shut up, you useless piece of shit!"After that, he turned to look at Scott and Belle.Tristan and Scott stood in front of her at the exact same time to protect her.Scott wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth away. "I'm the one who started it. If you have a problem, take it up with me! I'll be more than happy to join!"Tris
Jake nodded expressionlessly and walked forward.He walked toward the nearest guy and knelt down. Without giving him a chance to speak, Jake grabbed his wrist and crushed it. A loud snap echoed in the air. The man's scream was bone-chilling.Jake didn't even blink. He simply walked to his next victim.The crowd could only stare in shock.Tristan's eyes were huge from surprise. He wanted Grayson to come and break them apart, not make things worse. Beating up Trent's subordinates in front of Trent was a huge insult to him. If it was someone who didn't know who he was, it might still be a light offense.However, Grayson was intentionally embarrassing him in front of a huge crowd. Trent would definitely hold a grudge."Calm down, Grayson," Tristan said.Grayson didn't listen to him. He held Belle's hand as he glared at the people writhing in pain on the floor. He looked exactly like an angry husband who was getting revenge for his wife.Even though Belle hadn't been hurt, he wa
The sound of bones breaking and loud screaming echoed through the bar. Trent stayed quiet.No one knew exactly how strong Grayson was. Trent was on the dark side, but Grayson wasn't exactly the most innocent person. Trent didn't dare to underestimate Grayson.All he could do was admit defeat after hurting the apple of Grayson's eye.He knew Scott and Grayson weren't on the best terms.If Trent only settled things with Scott, he could protect his pride.Trent said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Page. My men were foolish not to recognize you. They deserve to be punished by Mr. Page. I must apologize to you on their behalf."Grayson ignored him with a frown.Trent looked at Scott. "Should we settle our differences between us, Mr. Quinn?"Scott's bodyguards immediately surrounded Scott at the sound of that.Without waiting for Scott to reply, Grayson said, "You can't touch him either."Trent frowned. "What do you mean? I don't understand.""What I'm saying is, you can't touch my wife, and yo
Belle wanted to push him away, but Grayson's grip was too tight. She couldn't shake him off and called out to Robert, "I'll be going now! Call me if anything happens."Robert nodded. "Alright."He only turned to look at Scott after Grayson and Belle left. "Are you okay?"Scott replied with a sour expression, "I'm fine. It's just a scratch.""We'd better go for a check-up."Robert looked at Tristan. "Sorry, Tristan. I'll pay for all the damages."Tristan sighed. "That's nothing. The problem here is the rivalry between Scott and Grayson. They really are sworn enemies. They're both so aggressive! Belle is also terrifying. Birds of a feather really do flock together. "Neither of them care much about consequences, do they? They fight at the smallest inconveniences."Scott frowned. "If he dares to start anything, I'll guarantee his downfall! I don't think he'll be invincible against everything money can buy. There are plenty of professionals who are willing to be hired."Tristan sh
While Scott got his check-up done, Robert was getting the rundown of everything that happened. He was also checking the surveillance camera footage from the bar.He hadn't imagined that Belle would be such a good fighter. Her technique strongly reminded him of Mr. Bunny.Mr. Bunny had used the exact same techniques the other day in the fighting ring.Grayson had also defended Belle exactly like how he defended Mr. Bunny the other day.What if?Robert wanted to assume that Belle was Mr. Bunny, but after quite a few tests, he'd proven that Belle wasn't the person he was looking for.Robert didn't know where the problem lay.Grayson and Belle were already on the way back home from the bar.Grayson was furious because Belle had helped Scott fight. He was also pissed because of the last thing she had said to Robert. His expression was sour the whole way home. He didn't speak to her at all.Belle looked at Grayson, not knowing what he was angry about.After they had been on the r
