Chapter 42 Eddie’s Fear
“Ah!” Felicia screamed in horror.
“Fuck off, you bastard!” Harleen shouted as she got up and charged towards that man.
He quickly slapped Harleen and sent her flying to the ground. There was a hint of blood at the corner of her mouth.
“You have one minute to decide. If you don’t speak up, my four brothers can’t wait any longer!” Eddie looked down at Harleen on the ground and spoke.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“You bastards…” Harleen burst into tears, unable to speak through her sobs.
At this moment, she faced a difficult choice. If she spoke up, Billy’s identity would be exposed; if she didn’t speak up, her sister’s life would be ruined forever.
“Thirty seconds left!” Eddie took a puff from his cigar before speaking calmly again.
“You will all face retribution for this!” Harleen struggled to speak through her pain and anguish.
“You’re not gonna tell?” Eddie glanced at Harleen before raising his hand. “Take her sister to the next room!”
“Got it!” The man with a buzz cut smirked as he reached for Felicia.
Boom!
Just then, there was a loud explosion as the door of the room shattered into pieces with debris flying everywhere. Soon after, two slender figures appeared at the door.
“Billy?!”
“Billy!”
Harleen and her sister shouted loudly as if they had caught a life-saving straw.
Billy got incensed at the sight of the ladies, causing Casey to shiver.
“Fuck you, kid, you’re her brother-in-law? Do you wanna die here?” the buzz cut guy exclaimed loudly.
“Take Harleen and Felicia out!” Billy asked Casey.
Casey knew that Billy was already extremely angry and didn’t want the ladies to see what would happen next. So, he quickly walked towards them and brought them out.
“Kid, You’re living impatiently, huh?” the guy roared and picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table before charging towards him.
But as he had just approached them, his wrist was grasped and broken by Casey in a blink.
“Ah…” He screamed in pain and crouched down.
Eddie beside him frowned tightly. He didn’t expect Casey to have such skills, and with just one move, he disabled one of his most capable men’s arms.
“You’re dead!” The other three yelled and attacked Casey. All three of them could tell that Casey was no ordinary opponent, so they used their strongest moves right away. However, what shocked them was that they didn’t even touch Casey’s clothes before being thrown back like they were hit by a car.
Eddie’s wrist trembled slightly as he held his cigar. The ash fell down and his heart sank with it. His four most capable men couldn’t even take one move from the opponent. What kind of concept was this?
Who did they provoke?
“Ladies, I’ll take you back.” Without even looking at Eddie, Casey bent down to help Harleen up.
“Billy, aren’t you leaving?” Harleen asked.
“Harleen, go with Casey first. I’ll be back soon.” Billy responded after calming down his aura.
“But…” Harleen looked at Eddie who had a dark expression not far away and shivered all over her body.
“It’s okay. I promise nothing will happen. You guys go first, I’ll be there soon.” Billy interrupted her words.
“Stay safe, Billy.”
“Be careful, Billy.” Felicia spoke up.
Billy nodded in response. As the three of them left, Billy walked towards the sofa, intimidating. With each step he took, the tiles beneath his feet cracked like spider webs, shocking and terrifying.
A big bead of sweat dripped down Eddie’s forehead.
“Who… who are you?” Eddie asked while shivering with a look of horror in his eyes.
“Both of you come up here!” Without even looking at him, Billy sat down on the sofa and dialed Derek’s phone number on his mobile phone. A few minutes ago when he and Casey arrived at the club entrance, Derek and Damon had been already waiting for them. They didn’t come up together because Billy didn’t want Harleen and her sister to know too much.
“Got it!” Derek’s voice came through the receiver.
In less than two minutes, he and Damon appeared at the door.
“Damon? Mr Hines?” Seeing them both made Eddie even more shocked than before.
One was the top dog of Ozin’s business world, and the other was the king of Ozin’s underground world. Both were figures who could make Ozin tremble with just a stomp of their feet.
Thinking back to Billy’s commanding tone on the phone earlier, Eddie’s heart throbbed violently several times, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead even more profusely.
“You really don’t know how to die!” Derek coldly glanced at Eddie before leading Damon to Billy and bowing respectfully. “Mr Gardner!”
Eddie couldn’t hold on any longer and fell onto the ground, waves of shock surging through his heart. And as for the four buzz-cut men who had just gotten up from the ground, they collapsed again one by one, trembling all over with fear.
After nodding slightly with Derek, Billy looked towards them and asked, “Who was it that laid hands on the ladies just now?”
“W-who are you?” The buzz-cut man asked with a trembling voice.
“Won’t say? Then I’ll think you guys were all in on this.” Said Billy. As he raised his hand, a gust of wind swept the four men. And the next second, their bodies exploded like the ripest watermelons, leaving an aerosol mist of blood lingering in the air, after which, the room fell into silence and peace again.
Damon standing behind Billy shuddered with horror all over his body. Although he had already witnessed Billy’s skills last night, he never expected them to be this powerful, completely beyond his understanding of martial arts.
“I… I’m sorry, sir. I was wrong. Please spare my worthless life…” Eddie had no more courage left and crawled to Billy’s feet, every cell in his body filled with fear. Eddie had never heard of any giant-killer as powerful as Billy before in all his decades of living. He must have been cursed for this life to provoke such a top-level powerhouse just because he caught two women.
“Who told you to do today’s job?” Billy asked.
