Return Of The Unparalleled Lord

Chapter 5

Keith didn't move a muscle, he stood there looking at the men. It was a stare-off, the men found Keith amusing. “Say shrimp, where are you from? Are you aware that we run this part of town? And we are just doing our job so why don't you just run along now before you get hurt.” 

The men broke out in laughter, they were mocking Keith’s appearance. They were mocking the way he popped out of nowhere to tell them to stop what they were doing like he was some kind of king.

“I will leave, but I am leaving with this young lady.” Keith was serious when he said that, this made everyone present pause for a bit and look at him. 

“Please sir don't risk your life for me, they will not hesitate to kill you so please go.” The lady pleaded with Keith, but it was as if he was not going to be listening to her. 

“Don't worry, I will make sure that they don't lay a finger on you,” Keith smirked as he kept his eyes on the men watching them like a hawk. 

The men felt insulted, they didn't expect someone like Keith to belittle them or even stand up against them. “What in the world? Who does this low-life think he is? The great Ethan Burns ordered that we bring that Lady to him. Even her own family agreed to the marriage but I don't see why she would run away.” 

Keith turned to look at the girl standing close to him, “I see you don't want to get married, why so?” 

“It doesn't concern you, someone of your class won't understand how higher class marriage works. I am being used as a trading tool to help a business grow and you think that I will remain there?” The lady was holding back her tears, Keith didn't ask her any other thing he just turned to the men and looked them in the eye. 

“If you want her then you will get through me,” Keith smiled as he prepared himself for their attacks. 

The men looked at themselves then broke into laughter, “Why don't we use him as an example of why people shouldn't try to be heroes then maybe some will learn from him.” 

The men pulled out crowbars and other weapons they were going to use on Keith, Keith drew back a bit and took a stance. ‘I have been itching for a fight,’ 

The men launched at Keith, they were thinking he was going to run away the moment they charged but it was not as they thought. Keith didn't move, instead, he waited for the men to make a move first. Keith was quicker than any fighter they had seen, his strikes were precise and deadlier than anything seen anywhere. 

The lady Keith had saved stood there dumbfounded, she didn't believe that the man before her had this much strength or that he was a skilled fighter. ‘I have never seen anyone fight like this, not even Grandpa can pull all that off this quickly anymore. Just who is he?’ 

Keith knocked down all seven men except their leader, he was looking at him with bloodlust in his eyes. It was like he was going to kill him if he flinched a bit. “Now, go tell your boss you ran up to something and you don't think that the girl will be marrying him anymore.” 

Keith turned back to see if the girl was okay, but the man seized the opportunity to pull out a gun. “Go to hell you demon!” But before he could pull the trigger Keith was already in front of him, it was like he moved with the wind. 

“Before you say anything remember that I gave you mercy, you brought this upon yourself,” Keith said before knocking the man out cold with a deadlier strike. It was all unreal to the lady standing there, she looked at Keith like he was some kind of god that fell to the earth. 

“What in the world just happened? I didn't expect him to even fight but he took down eight of them all by himself.” The lady kept looking at Keith, it was strange how he looked like a normal man but his skills were on the par of a great warrior. 

“You can go now, find somewhere to stay. I don't care what you do, just don't get kidnapped again.” Keith turned and began heading to the hotel lobby, he didn't like to be the center of attention.

“Wait, please at least can I get the name of the man who saved me?” The lady asked with a calm tone that it looked like she was trying to be polite as much as she could. 

“Why do you want the name of a lower-class man? What use will I be to you?” Keith used a mocking voice turning to look at the lady, he wanted to know what her reaction would be if he sounded that way. He looked at her and it was clear that she was a bit embarrassed and this was a bit strange for Keith. 

He had expected someone that would speak back to him immediately but instead, it was like she was petrified. “Well, I would love to know the name of the man who saved me and maybe take him out sometime.” The lady had a vibrant smile on her face, it was like she was feeling safe with Keith. 

“Oh, in that case, my name is Keith Norman. And what may I call you beautiful lady?” Keith looked at her with a smile on his face, he always knew how to make anyone happy. 

The lady blushed as she looked down, “My name is Noelle Hathaway, of the Hathaway Family. I want to thank you for saving me, I don't know what would have become of me if you didn't show up.” 

Noelle bowed her head, Keith looked at her and wondered if she was just being nice in the meantime or if was that the way she was trained. 

“Well if it's that important to you, I am Keith, Keith Norman.” Keith waved his hand as he walked to the hotel lobby. 

The girl stood there with a smile on her face, “I pray we meet again,”
