No. 1 King Of Valor

9: Ungrateful Wench

"Haha!" His companions laughed heartily like he had just made the biggest joke of the century.

"Ay, Enzo, why are you still wasting time trying to reason with this senile, old man? Just give us your orders and we will go in there to bring her out for you," one of the young men suggested in between his laughter.

"Yes," another agreed. "You can get to play her hard tonight and who knows... we can even take turns!"

The men roared with laughter.

End up like her sister?

Among the words the vile men said, only these words registered in Kael's brain. His mind exploded and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"You... What did you say?" His voice was hoarse and he was trembling from fury this time.

Only then did Enzo notice him. The young man glanced at Kael's shabby appearance and turned his head disdainfully.

"Rowan, where did you find this beggar? Didn't anyone teach him to mind his business?"

Enzo looked at Kael again, examining him. And then, his eyes widened slightly and his finger shot out.

"Oh! It's you trash. I almost didn't recognize you. You actually returned?"

Enzo walked up to Kael and reached out to pat his mud stained cheek contemptuously. "It seems you didn't hear me clearly just now. I'll do you a favor and repeat my words."

His fingers trailed down to the shoulder plate of Kael's soiled coat. "You should have been there to hear Bridget's heart-wrenching cries as I fucked her hard in my bed."

Enzo's smug grin widened as he spoke. He didn't seem to notice how Kael turned rigid or how his fingers by his side clenched into fists.

"After I was done with her, I had my men throw her lifeless body down the top floor. You can ask around. Everyone in Solara knows. But you clearly don't know."

Ida's fingers flew up to suppress her gasp as tears ran down her face.

"Hehehe!"

Enzo threw his head back and laughed wildly. Back then, he had pursued Bridget earnestly and showered her expensive gifts.

Everyone in Solara knew of his intentions to win her hand in marriage. But what did that ungrateful wench do in return?

She rejected his advances, all his gifts and publicly humiliated him by getting married to a nobody. A waste!

"Kael, since you were her husband, I will tell you some more details," he smacked his lips as he spoke.

"Your wife was a rare gem. She was really fierce in bed and left several marks on my body. In return, I let fifteen of my men take turns w—"

Ngk!

Before he could complete his words, a big hand grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground!

Kael's eyes darkened devilishly and he gritted his teeth as he tightened his hold around Enzo's neck. The latter's delicate white skin turned red!

'My Bridget,' Kael could only think of his wife. She had suffered so much and he wasn't even here to rescue her.

"You bastard!" He growled as he tightened his chokehold around Enzo's neck.

CRACK!

"You beast!" Enzo's lackeys recovered from their shock and yelled. "Let our young master go now!"

They held their weapons tightly and charged towards Kael, aiming right for his head.

SWISH!

BANG!

Before any of them could even get close, they were sent flying in different directions.

Enzo's face began to turn purple. His legs kicked hard in the air and his fingers tried to pry Kael's hand off his neck.

"You... better... let... go... of... me!" He choked out with great difficulty. "Do... you... know... who... I... am? I'm... the... young... master... of... the... Rutherford's... family! If... I die... you all... will... pay!"

But Kael didn't even react to his words. It was as if he didn't even hear. Instead, his fingers tightened harder and Enzo literally began to gasp for air.

Veins protruded on his face and he was unable to say anything else.

"Brother-in-law, let him go. I'll go with him."

A young, beautiful lady with a peerless face stepped out of the house. She bit her lips nervously, creating a sensual image. Her small fingers were clutching the hems of her skirt.

Panicking, she cautioned Kael, "Brother-in-law, he is from the Rutherford's family. If he dies at our doorstep today, we won't be able to explain it to his family. My cousin and uncle died because they offended his family."

Kael halted, his grip loosened around Enzo's neck. Then he turned to the young lady that had just spoken without a care for Enzo who hit the ground like a bag of flour.

THUD!
