"My legs... My legs..." Isaac Briggs whimpered in agony. His clothes were completely drenched in sweat and dust. He looked up at the figure standing tall over him.Gone was the arrogant expression on his face earlier. Now he looked at Kael with terror in his eyes. Like he was staring at a demon that had just escaped from Sheol.Kael slowly retracted his foot and brushed off the dirt on his shirt. "Do you know why I left your other hand?"Isaac didn't have the courage to say a word. His lips quivered, and he trembled all over. Even his pants turned damp.Kael squatted down, and he shrunk back in horror. But the former only reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone."Call your boss," he ordered. "If he doesn't show up in thirty minutes, then there is no need for you to keep the other hand.""And pray he comes quickly."SWOOSH!He threw the phone at Isaac, and the latter quickly reached out to grab the device before it hit the ground. He held it tightly like he was holding h

Just two meters away from Kael, the security guards halted in place, almost bumping into one another. They all turned to look at Conrad in surprise.Why did he yell like that?A small smile curled up at the corner of Kael's lips. 'Hmm, you all are very lucky today.'If Conrad had been a minute late, he would have snapped the arms of the security guards and crippled them.Corrupt security guards like them who only dance to the tune of rich people are the reason why poor people like the people of Blackwater Alley live miserably and never get justice."Sir… why did you—" the leader of the security team was puzzled. If this was any other time, Conrad would have ordered them to rip Kael's mouth off and break his limbs. Why then did he ask them to stop now?"Stand back!" Conrad didn't respond to his question, instead he barked another order.The security guards exchanged glances before retreating slowly. Conrad turned to Kael and his facial expression changed.His gaze lit up with so much

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?"Kael noticed John Lowe was looking lost as he helped him up so he asked.John looked at him for a few minutes, not knowing what to say. Eventually, he couldn't hold back his doubts."Son... Don't lie to uncle. Are you really Lily's friend?""Yes," Kael nodded without hesitation. "Lily helped me before. She saved the life of the most important person to me. That is enough to make me do anything to repay her."He made eye contact with John. "Everything I'm doing now… is only what I owe her., uncle."Hearing this, every trace of doubts in John's heart finally disappeared. Seeing that he had dispelled his doubts, Kael looked down at his broken leg. "Lily already informed me about your leg. I know you are not after the money, you only want to get justice. I will put your worries—and Lily's—to rest.""Now shall we?"John met his sincere gaze and nodded with a heavy expression.If he hadn't gone to that floor and the metal hadn't fallen on his leg, non

The security guard looked at Kael, then shook his head with a sigh. Just how powerful was this young man?Is he more powerful than even the Rutherford family? Could he even stand against the Briggs family?"Old man Lowe," the security guard pulled his arm away once again, but gentler before. "I know you have helped me many times in the past and I am deeply grateful to you. But I have to think of my family too. Please, don't make things difficult for me."He turned his face away, and fell silent. John Lowe knew at that moment that no matter how he tried, Ben won't tell him a word."Isn't this the old, crippled fool? How dare you still show your face here? Do you have a death wish?"The gates flew open and a bald, muscular man appeared at the entrance. He was wearing a large golden chain around his neck, and behind him were his group of lackeys.He held a small metal rod in his hand as he eyed John Lowe. "Were you just asking Tom about your daughter just now?" The bald man, Dominik Ke

SWOOSH!The sharp tip of the dagger came down ferociously. Dominik froze in horror as he watched his death unfold.But just as the dagger was an inch away from his throat, a hand suddenly grabbed John Lowe's wrist.. "Old man Lowe!" "Don't ruin your life because of an action of impulse. He's not worth it."The security guard Tom held onto John's wrist tightly. He looked down as Dominik heaved a sigh of relief."Old man Lowe, you don't know, but the Briggs family are behind Dominik. They will make the rest of your life a living hell on earth."Dominik coughed and wiped off the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. With great difficulty, he smiled, "Finally, someone sensible..."He grabbed Kael's foot, but couldn't manage to shake it off so he looked up and warned, "Kid… listen to me. Don't waste your life for this old man who's already one leg in his grave."His voice softened as he promised, "If you remove your foot and let me go now, I can consider sparing your life. But if
