When the Carters saw Hanson stop, they chuckled in glee, assuming that he was intimidated and had lost his courage.“Grandpa, it’s really different when you strike. They got scared right away, haha,” Howard groveled immediately. He was having a pretty decent life now and had gotten fatter.“Duh, remember Grandpa’s status now. He can get over a hundred people here with just a call. If they made a pit each, their saliva itself could drown these useless punks,” Hector chorused.The other Carters fawned over George as well, pleasing him and making him glow in pride.Hanson was exceptionally frustrated at their arrogance, but he dared not simply supersede Mia since she did not say anything and he could only wait there.A while later, a large group of people came from outside. There were approximately a hundred of them as they thronged in. All of them were large, muscular, and looked intimidating, but their appearance delighted the Carters.“It’s Tyler!”“Good on Tyler for coming with
Tyler waved to make his order when a middle-aged man in blue who stood next to him stared at the gangster coldly, “Tyler Patterson, good job over there! You’re breaking even my legs, huh?!”Shock struck Tyler the second he heard the voice, and he asked dumbly, “Master?”As the middle-aged man in a blue shirt stepped out, Tyler fumbled to wear his eyeglasses from his pocket and finally saw the man’s face. Aghast, he shouted, “M-master?! Why are you here?!”Having a high level of nearsightedness yet preferring not to wear his glasses usually, Tyler did not catch sight of the appearance of Mia and her group when he had entered just now. Now that he did, his scalp was tingling and his legs were shaking.The middle-aged man in front of him was his master, Richard Shaw!Richard’s expression was terrorizing as much as it was icy. Tyler trembled and felt himself going numb in fear.“Master, what brings you here?” Tyler asked fearfully, giving away the fact that he was scared of Richard.
Instantly, Mia became the center of everyone’s attention. The banquet hall that was filled with hundreds of people went eerily silent suddenly as no one dared speak.There still was no expression on Mia’s face. Remaining aloof, she stated faintly, “You’re pardoned this time since you behaved well.”Overjoyed as if he had received amnesty, Richard knocked his head several times on the floor still on his knees. “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”He then told Tyler frantically, “Useless child, come and apologize to your grandmaster right now!”Accepting the order, Tyler scurried over and got on his knees to confess his mistake and ask for forgiveness. Neither had he seen Mia before this nor did he know about her existence. However, it was needless to say that the woman must be powerful when his master was so reverent of her!Mia waved her hand in dismissal and instructed flatly, “Alright, get up.”Tyler got up as told and heard Mia continue. “Go on, beat Zayn Larson’s family up
With that, Tyler spread his arms and raised his voice. “Brothers, attack! Beat them up good!”All 70 to 80 brutes pounced like wild beasts under Tyler’s command. They beat up whoever they caught, even old folks and children. Some younger women were taken advantage of without a care for consequences. It was pure chaos.As the patriarch of the Carters, George was currently on the floor, receiving a few slaps in absolute forlornness. No matter how low the Carters had gotten, they were never this humiliated. Even friends who the Carters had invited were embroiled and got beaten up severely.Hanson was gratified as he watched. Oh, how he looked forward to Zayn’s reaction when he found out—he would most probably blow his top, hahaha! Stealing a peek at Mia, he realized that his master was still expressionless. Her eyes were deep as if an abyss lay behind them, or the deepest level of hell with the most terrifying souls locked in—it was chilling.Waine and Ruby were beaten up too. They co
“What!”Zayn saw red from what he was told and sprang up. The extent of his reaction shocked the handful of people opposite him.“Dad, what happened?” Zayn asked in a low tone.Once Waine recalled the earlier situation and the throbbing he was still feeling, as well as the fact that he had never been hit like this before in his life, he felt utterly wronged and recounted the incident while crying. Lastly, he sobbed, “Zayn, how did you provoke these people? You’ve gotten all the Carters into your mess!”Rage shot up and boiled over Zayn. He had not been this pissed for a long time. The last time he had felt such wrath was when he had been chased out of the Larsons!Hanson had crossed the line—no, he had gone beyond Zayn’s bottom line.Fabian, Seth, and a few others who currently sat opposite of Zayn were daunted by his state. They could vaguely make out the flames burning within his eyes and the menace dripping from him. He felt as terrifying as a volcano that was about to erupt.
Instantly, Allana’s smile froze and she was a little taken aback.‘What’s going on? Did Zayn not see me?’She could not help but turn her head around to have a look. She saw that Zayn had already gotten into his car and drove off…“Allana, aren’t you supposed to be in class? Why are you back so soon?” Seth asked out of curiosity when he saw her.Allana was already in a bad mood, and it became even worse at that moment. She bit her lip and said, “Dad, wasn’t Zayn supposed to be a guest in our house? Why did he rush out?”Seth then replied, “He had some issues at home, so he’s gone back.”“Oh.” Allana absent-mindedly nodded her head as she stared in the direction Zayn’s car had disappeared off to, unwilling to look away, as if she was in a complete daze. In fact, she was feeling particularly dejected and unhappy because Zayn had completely ignored her.“Dad, what did Zayn say when he was here?” Allana could not help but ask, “Did he mention me?”Seth noticed there was something a
‘Mia Walker?‘This is the first time I’ve heard of this person, a woman for that matter. Nevertheless, I don’t even need to know who she is. Since she was here with Hanson, she’s definitely seeking vengeance for Xander!’‘She actually had the gall to take her revenge on Faye’s family, despite knowing very well that Xander died at my hands. To make things worse, she even beat up all of the Carters, including the guests here. That means, not only is she a strong opponent, but she’s also deeply involved in this whole thing.’‘Could she possibly be the president of the Northmob Council?’The moment Zayn had this question in his mind, he very quickly dismissed it. ‘That’s impossible. First of all, the president of the Northmob Council was a man, not a woman. Plus, if she were the president, she would never have taken such actions since it would greatly affect the organization’s reputation.With that in mind, there can only be one possibility, which was that Mia and Xander had a rather
“Ahem, you seem to forget that there will always be another mountain higher than the last. So, no matter how awesome Zayn is, there will definitely be others who are more formidable! Yesterday, the Carters were having their family gathering in the Glitz Hotel. That’s when a group of people walked up to them and specifically said they were there for Zayn. Luckily for him, he wasn’t there at the time, but unfortunately, the Carters were savagely assaulted! I heard that many women were even raped on the spot!”“What the f*ck?! Is that true? That’s going way overboard! Who could possibly dare to offend Zayn so openly?!”“You’ve come to the right person for that question. According to my expert sources, the person who’s coming after Zayn is a woman called Mia Walker. Now then, do you know who Mia Walker is?”“Who is she? F*ck, could you not keep us in suspense, you *sshole? Hurry up and tell us!”“Mia Walker’s a truly cruel woman who’s Xander Griffin’s junior. Despite being a woman, the
