Meanwhile, outside the house, Mr. Shawn had gotten tired of hitting and kicking Nolan. His chest was already rising and falling heavily from all the effort, so he stepped back and told his men to continue the assault. He stood there with his hands on his waist, watching them beat Nolan like he was nothing more than trash on the ground. After a few minutes of watching them rain blows on him without mercy, he finally lifted his hand and told them to stop.By then, Nolan had become something else entirely. He barely looked human anymore. Blood continuously pooled in his mouth, and every time he coughed or breathed too hard, he spat it out onto the ground beneath him. His eyes were swollen shut, his face badly bruised, and it felt like some of his ribs were broken. Every breath sent a sharp pain through his chest, making it hard for him to even inhale properly.He was in so much pain, but his mind wasn’t in the pain at all. All he could think about was Katty. Even while the men were beati

Nolan didn’t waste a second and without answering, he pushed open the door of the house and scanned the room desperately. His eyes moved frantically, searching for Katty, and then he saw her. She wasn’t alone. She was struggling against a man much bigger than her, a man three times her size.The sudden opening of the door caught Dennis’s attention immediately. He turned sharply, his glare locking onto Nolan. “I thought I told Shawn not to let anyone inside! Who the hell are you? Why are you here? Didn’t you hear my instructions?” he barked, his voice filled with both anger and disbelief.At first, Dennis thought Nolan was one of Shawn’s men but as he took a second look, noticing the blood covering Nolan’s face and clothes, his eyes widened as he thought to himself that none of Shawn’s men would look bloody and beaten up. Nolan’s eyes locked onto Dennis, and the rage inside him boiled over. He didn’t care about anything else and all he only cared about was Katty, about stopping the ma

Nolan should have been scared by the sight in front of him, by the way Dennis looked, the amount of blood he had lost, and how lifeless his body seemed on the floor. But surprisingly, he was calm and there was no fear in his eyes, no panic in his heart. It was as if everything inside him had gone quiet. His head and body also felt light. Just then, Katty’s mum and dad rushed inside the house, calling her name loudly as they hurried toward her. Behind them were Gabriel and Debby, their faces filled with panic and worry. Their eyes searched around for their daughter. “Mum… Dad,” Katty cried out the moment she saw her parents. She left where she was sitting and ran into their arms, clinging to them tightly as her body trembled. Her mum and dad held her close, checking her body frantically, their hands shaking as they searched for injuries. They were so worried and scared for her and what she had gone through. They were only able ti run inside because sam had found them and released the

“Thank you so much, Nolan. I honestly don’t even know what to say or how much to thank you,” Gabriel said, rubbing the back of his head helplessly and awkwardly as he remembered what happened the last time between the both of them. “You have no idea how grateful I am that you were here today. Are you sure there won’t be any problem because of what just happened?”“Oh, you don’t have to worry at all,” Nolan replied with a scoff. “Nothing is going to happen. If anyone is going to be in trouble, it will be Mr. Shawn and Dennis.”For the rest of the day, Nolan stayed with Gabriel’s family. He didn’t leave their side. He spent most of his time with Katty, especially, trying his best to lighten her mood and distract her so she wouldn’t think too much about what had happened. He talked to her, joked with her gently, and stayed close, making sure she felt safe.Because of the shock and the sudden turn of events, they had no choice but to cancel her birthday party. There was no mood for celebr

Dennis and Mr. Shawn started screaming the moment they saw what was happening right in front of them. Their voices were loud, broken and filled with pure terror. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They truly couldn’t believe that this was real. One by one, the hands of the men they had brought along were being cut off without mercy. This was something they had never imagined, not even in their worst nightmares.This was the end of everything for the men. The end of their so-called careers as thugs because with their arms destroyed, they would never be able to do anything again. The power, strength, and intimidation, everything they relied on was gone in seconds.Mr. Shawn was already close to going into shock when Nolan’s men suddenly turned to face him. Before he could even react, before he could open his mouth to beg, one of the men stepped forward. There was no hesitation from his end as the blade came down swiftly and sliced his hand clean off.For a brief moment, Mr. S
