The Marvelous Benjamin Jefferson

3 ~ Beaten Mercilessly

CHAPTER 3

Some gangsters had arrived at the spot they were before, and searched around keenly for the lady. Frustration and worries were displayed on their faces as they kept searching the surroundings. 

Benjamin  and the beautiful lady watched them from the giant flower, and made sure not to make any noise or else, they would be in trouble. 

They were sweating profusely, and gnashing their teeth in anger. They searched everywhere and they couldn't spot the lady. 

“We couldn't find her, Boss! What should we do?” One of the subordinates muttered. 

The leader shouted furiously, “Where is she? Where has she ran to? Find the bitch  for me, she mustn't escape!” His voice was tinged with authority, fury and rage. 

“Search every nook and cranny, she wouldn't have ran far! Separate yourself into two!” He pointed at one of his subordinates, and mumbled. “Come with me!”With that, he went towards a different direction

As they left the area, the beautiful lady sighed in relief, and snapped at Benjamin  angrily. 

“What are you trying to do, Mr. Man? How long would it take to release me? I'm suffocating in here, Let me go!” Her voice was tinged with rage, but she was shy to look at Benjamin ’s face. 

Benjamin  came back to his senses, and brought her out of the Giant flower. He felt awkward as he walked out from the alley, leaving the lady behind. 

Quickly, the lady chased after him and walked behind him. She kept blushing so hard in the dark, however, Benjamin  couldn't notice it. 

She pretended to be calm, and cleared her throat repeatedly, “I’m sorry to have sounded that way earlier. You shouldn't see me as an ungrateful fellow, I'm going to pay you for the protection.”

“Can you give me your bank details? I'm going to send some amount of money to you!" She mumbled, and brought out her phone instantly. 

The moment the beautiful lady blurted out, Benjamin  made a wry smile. He glanced at her, then claimed. “I don't need your money, Miss! I don't save you because I want your money. I did it out of pity." 

He didn't need any money from her, he knew the lady wouldn't be able to give out a substantial amount of money that could cover up his Brain Tumor Medical Surgery. 

Therefore, he shouldn't bother to accept any kind from her. He rejected the offer, and walked faster. 

The Beautiful Lady stopped on her track, and gazed at the man in surprise. Her face was covered with scowls, and she looked curious to know why he had rejected his offer. 

Swiftly, she ran up to him and demanded. “Why don't you need my money? I'm only showing my appreciation for saving me from the dangerous gangsters." She mumbled. 

Before Benjamin  could respond to her, some gangsters surrounded them, and glared at them dangerously with their heavy metals on their hands. 

Upon seeing them, Benjamin  and the beautiful lady cowered in fear, a surge of adrenaline ran through their spines. Glancing at the dangerous gangsters in front of them, the lady stuck onto Benjamin  while she shivered in fear. 

A broad man walked up to them, it was their leader. He sneered and said, “I knew you wouldn't have left the area.  How could you have run away so quickly? Do you think you can escape from us, brat?” His voice was husky, and deep at the same time. 

The gangsters surrounded them, and the lady was afraid. Benjamin , on the other hand, was looking scared but he felt the urge to protect the lady. 

He pulled to his back, and asked in a loud tone. “What do you guys want? What has she done to you?” his voice trembled as he spoke. 

The gangster stared at him in disdain, and scoffed arrogantly. “Get out of our way? We don't have a business with you. If you don't want to be beaten to death, hand over the lady to us.” One of them mumbled. 

The lady tightened her hold on Benjamin 's back, and trembled the more. She cried helplessly, “Please, save me from these wicked people. Don't let them get to me!" 

"C'mon, hand over the lady to us and I promise not to lay a finger on you!” The leader muttered. 

Benjamin 's countenance changed instantly, “I will never hand her over to you! You guys should do your worst.” He doesn't know where the confidence had come from but he had the weird feeling to save her. 

“You have to pass through me first!” He gritted his teeth furiously as he concluded. His fists were clenched into balls. 

The leader scoffed disdainfully, and ordered his subordinates, “Beat him up! I want his bones to be crushed, and also, get me the Lady!”

The gangsters nodded their heads and swung into action. Dangerous weapons like bats, sticks, and guns were in their hands, Benjamin  quickly hugged and covered the lady from getting hit. 

He growls in pain as the gangsters continue to beat him mercilessly with their sticks and bats but still, he doesn't let off the lady. He had vowed to protect her. 

Due to the heavy beatings, he lost consciousness yet his hold on the lady was firm. He never released the lady. 

Upon seeing this, the leader erupted in rage, “Get him off the lady… .” 

However, at that moment, many cars arrived and parked in front of them while twenty men in black suits  got down from the cars. 

Slightly, The Leader shook in fear as the men in black suits walked towards him. He stopped them with his loud tone, “Who are you guys? I.. I'm the sibling of a Mafia boss, Undertaker. So, don't you dare lay a finger on me.” He mumbled amidst fear, and continued. “The lady had disobeyed our organization. She had refused to sleep with our boss, you guys shouldn't bother to meddle into the matter if not, you won't love yourself.”

However, the lady shouted at the top of her lungs, “Uncle Jasper, Help me!" She cried out, as she held onto Benjamin ’s lifeless body. 

An Old man in his fifties walked out of the car, and strode towards the lady. He cast a disdainful glance at the gang leader and growled ragingly. 

“How dare you? How dare you offend the daughter of the Garner  family? Don't you know who she is? How dare you try to molest her?” The Old man's voice was dripping with rage. 

Everyone was shocked, most especially, the gang leader. He was terrified,  he knew about the Garner  family and knew how important they are in the City. 

Instantly, he slumped into the ground and pleaded for mercy. “I'm sorry sir, I never knew the Young Miss came from the Garner  family. We've no right to disrespect the Garner  family's name. Please, forgive us!" His subordinates were also on their knees, pleading alongside their boss. 

“Shut up, fools!” The Old man's expression was cold, then he announced, “From now on, the Undertaker gang will be banished. It will be closed and no operation will be held.”
