Chapter 101
Immediately upon entering and surveying the scene of overturned furniture, unconscious criminals scattered across the floor, and the obvious signs of recent violence, Dickson spoke with apparent concern.“I hope everybody here is alright!” Dickson said, his voice carrying what seemed like genuine worry as his eyes moved from person to person. “I hope nobody was seriously hurt in whatever happened here!”His tone became more explanatory as he continued. “I literally just received information about some kind of incident happening at this restaurant, and I came running here as fast as I could to check on everyone's safety!”Dickson's expression showed what appeared to be civic responsibility as he added. “I've already informed the police department about the situation, and I'm absolutely sure they are going to be here very soon to handle everything properly and take statements!”His voice carried reassurance as he concluded his initial assessment. “But my first priority was making sur

At that moment, the police officers began arriving in significant numbers, their vehicles filling the street outside and their uniformed presence flooding into the restaurant.As they came in with professional efficiency and clear prior briefing about the situation, they moved with coordinated purpose through the damaged establishment.Without saying any words or asking questions about what had happened or who was responsible, they literally started evacuating and removing the numerous thugs who were still lying unconscious or groaning on the restaurant floor.The officers worked systematically, checking each criminal for weapons, applying restraints, and carrying or dragging them out to waiting transport vehicles.Their efficiency and the fact that they seemed to already know exactly what to do suggested they had received detailed instructions before arriving.At that moment, while the police were efficiently clearing out the criminals, Dickson seized what he saw as an opportunity to

“Now apologize to Mr. Dickson.”Immediately, seeing that Nikki was not responding appropriately to her first command and was still maintaining her defiant posture toward Dickson, Nikki's mother's voice rose even higher with fury.“Nikki, I said apologize to Mr. Dickson immediately!” the woman shouted, her tone leaving no room for argument or delay. “If you don't say you're sorry for your disrespectful words right this instant, you are going to see and experience the very bad side of me right now!”Her voice carried a genuine threat of consequences, whether physical punishment or other retribution, designed to force her daughter into compliance with her wishes.Nikki's mother's face was flushed with anger and embarrassment at her daughter's continued resistance to someone she viewed as an excellent match and opportunity.The woman clearly believed that Nikki was throwing away a golden chance at a better life by insulting and rejecting someone of Dickson's wealth and social position.I
Chapter 104
Upon hearing what his wife had just said about forcing their daughter into a relationship against her will, Nikki's father could no longer remain silent despite his disabled condition and his wife's earlier cruel words.Immediately, with as much strength and authority as he could muster from his wheelchair, Nikki's father spoke up to challenge his wife's outrageous declaration.“You shouldn't be saying such a terrible thing in the presence of Nikki or in the presence of a stranger!” he said, his voice carrying moral conviction despite his physical weakness. “It is absolutely wrong of you to literally be forcing our daughter into something that she clearly doesn't want!”His tone grew more emphatic as he continued defending Nikki's autonomy. “She is old enough and mature enough to literally dictate and decide what she wants for herself regarding relationships and her own future!”Nikki's father's expression showed disappointment in his wife's behavior. “You have no right to make th

At that moment, seeing Naomi's battered but determined presence in what he had assumed would be a private interrogation with David, the scarred man's voice began trembling with fear and disbelief.“What... what is she doing here?” the man stammered, his earlier confidence completely evaporated as he stared at the woman he had brutally beaten. “How did you even manage to survive that savage beating I gave you?”His voice rose with incredulous panic. “I genuinely thought that after what I did to you, you would definitely be in a coma or lying unconscious in a hospital bed by now, fighting for your life!”The scarred man's expression showed he was having difficulty processing Naomi's presence. “What are you doing here instead of getting medical treatment? How are you even conscious and mobile after what happened?”His questions revealed both his shock at her resilience and his growing fear about what her presence might mean for his own fate.At that moment, rather than engaging with th

At that moment, upon hearing David's words that he was being handed over to Naomi for judgment and punishment, the scarred man's entire body started shaking with genuine terror.The look on Naomi's face as she stared at him was unlike anything he had seen from her before, and he could immediately tell that something had changed in her.This wasn't the same Naomi that he literally knew from their previous interactions within the organization - the woman he had perceived as manageable and controllable.This wasn't the scared little daddy's girl that he had literally known and dismissed as weak, someone who had inherited her position rather than earned it through strength and ruthlessness.Her expression had suddenly transformed into something far more dangerous and predatory, suggesting that his brutal beating had awakened something darker within her rather than breaking her spirit.Immediately, recognizing the mortal danger he was now facing, the scarred man started desperately trying
Chapter 107
At that moment, rather than engaging in verbal banter or responding to the scarred man's mocking laughter and taunts, Naomi remained completely silent.Her expression was cold and focused as she was visibly walking towards the man with deadly purpose, each step measured and deliberate.Her approach was methodical and patient, like a predator that knew its prey had nowhere to run and could afford to take its time.Seeing Naomi approaching him with such quiet menace, the scarred man decided to make a show of his physical superiority and intimidate her before she could reach him.He literally stood up to his full height, attempting to use his larger frame to psychological advantage as he prepared for combat.The man deliberately cracked his knuckles one by one, the sharp popping sounds echoing in the confined space as he flexed his fingers and prepared his hands for violence.He then cracked his neck from side to side, the vertebrae making audible sounds as he loosened his muscles and de
Chapter 108
At that moment, upon seeing how severely and systematically he had been beaten by someone he had previously dominated with ease, the scarred man couldn't believe what his eyes were showing him.The reality of his situation was so far removed from his expectations that his mind struggled to process what had just occurred.With a voice that was shaking and trembling from both physical pain and psychological shock, he started speaking in desperate confusion.“Who... who are you?” the man stammered, his words barely coherent through his swollen and bleeding mouth. “This is absolutely not the Naomi that I know and have worked with for years!”His voice rose with panic and disbelief. “This is not the scared daddy's little girl that I knew - the weak girl who inherited her position without earning it!”The scarred man's tone became more frantic as he tried to understand his new reality. “This is not the same Naomi that literally couldn't do anything to defend herself or assert real author
Chapter 109
At that moment, hearing Naomi's urgent voice calling out to him and her request for a significant favor, David paused in his departure.He stopped walking and then turned around slowly, his expression showing mild curiosity about what could be so important that she would chase after him.David's posture remained relaxed but attentive as he prepared to hear whatever request had prompted such desperation in her voice.“So what exactly do you want from me?” David asked, his tone neutral and direct, neither encouraging nor dismissive of whatever she might ask.Immediately upon being given the chance to make her request, Naomi's response demonstrated just how serious and desperate her situation truly was.She literally went down on her knees in front of David.Her action was particularly significant given that she was the leader of a powerful underground organization - for someone in her position to kneel before anyone showed extraordinary humility and desperation.“I need your help desper
Chapter 110
At that moment, upon hearing the passionate words that Naomi had just spoken and the sincere vision she had laid out for her organization's future, David felt something stirring deep within him.Her words had touched on values and principles that resonated strongly with his own moral code and personal beliefs about justice and power.The truth was, that was exactly the kind of person David fundamentally was - someone who genuinely didn't like bullying in any form or fashion.He had an instinctive hatred for anyone who used their strength or position to oppress those who were weaker or more vulnerable than themselves.David's entire worldview was built around the principle that power should be used to protect rather than exploit, and bullying represented everything he stood against.So for Naomi to be literally speaking those exact words and expressing those same values - talking about protecting the weak and fighting against oppression - it definitely resonated with his deepest convic
