The wind itself seemed to change course, as though even nature recognized what was about to happen.

He turned slowly and made his way past the wrecked Silqon Fast Mercy, stepping back into the bar without hesitation.

Inside the bar, Derek knelt in a pool of his own blood. His face was swollen beyond recognition; his breathing was ragged and desperate. He looked up at Mr. King and Slick Sal with pleading eyes.

“Please!” Derek begged, his voice filled with desperation. “Just tell me... who did I offend? I’ll apologize! I’ll make it right! Please!”

From the entrance, a voice boomed, loud and clear. “My sole aim in coming here tonight was to end your life.”

Elijah stepped fully into view, his hands tucked casually behind him as he approached.

“But at this moment,” he continued quietly, almost conversational, “I realize it might be quite pointless. You’re insignificant.”

Derek’s face twisted viciously. He pointed a trembling, bloodied finger at Elijah and spat, “What are you doing here? Wh

    A fleet of black SUVs moved along an avenue off the South District. They travelled at a moderate speed, headlights cutting through the darkness ahead. Seated in the back of one SUV was Elijah Langston; right beside him sat Derek Robinson, his head slightly lowered as he spoke. “Good Physician, if that man is going to cause trouble for Ms. DiLaurentis, you should have allowed us to cripple him just now.” If Elijah himself hadn’t specifically called to ask Derek to listen to Serena, they would have crippled that bold man who dared to touch them and spew nonsense tonight without hesitation. Elijah smiled coldly and said, “Sometimes you just have to hold back on certain things, even when they are necessary.” Derek didn’t understand what he meant, but he still managed to say, “That man doesn't look like someone with good intentions.” Elijah simply responded, “Of course he doesn’t.” Derek gritted his teeth and said, “If the Young Physician permits it, we can find that bastard tonight

    Rosalie stepped forward quickly to back up her mother. “That’s right! Frank already called his father, and his father assured him he’d work on it right away,” she said, gesturing emphatically. “Frank couldn’t have known that Derek and his men were already nearby and that his father hadn’t reached them yet. If Frank’s father had gotten to Derek in time, none of this would have happened.”She pointed directly at Elijah and cursed, “You’re the reason for all of this! If you had spoken up in time, this wouldn’t have happened today.”Elijah just smiled coldly, watching as they expertly turned all the blame onto him. These in-laws of his truly had their heads buried deep in this scammer’s lies.He turned his gaze directly to Frank, a small smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “Don’t you think you should stop your charade now? Who knows, you might be beaten to death next time for taking credit that isn’t yours to take.”“Shut up!” Frank cursed, pointing a trembling finger at Elijah. He e

    Frank's face twisted into a fit of pure rage after cursing at Elijah. His bloodied, swollen features contorted into something ugly and hateful.Margaret quickly jumped to her feet, her chest puffed out, ready for battle as she faced him. “Who permitted you to be here? Who allowed you to show your face?” she shouted at Elijah, pointing accusingly. “If you don't leave right now, I'll deal with you myself!”Elijah simply feigned innocence, his expression calm and unbothered. “Am I not allowed to ask about people?” he said casually, taking another sip of his orange juice through the straw.Rosalie stomped her foot angrily and also jumped to her feet. “Keep quiet right now!” Her voice was sharp. Then her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Wait! How did you even know Derek Robinson was coming here to apologize to us?”How could she have forgotten? This useless brother-in-law had actually mentioned something along the line before leaving them earlier.Elijah just smiled calmly and tilted his head.

    At that moment, one of Derek's men came running forward urgently from behind and announced breathlessly, "Leader! The Young Physician is calling!"Fear gripped Derek instantly. The boldness in his countenance vanished, leaving him stammering nervously as he commanded quickly, "R—receive it! Hurry!"Even Serena noticed how drastically Derek had changed after hearing those words, and this made her wonder deeply: Who is this Young Physician person?Now that she thought about it, Mr. Jafari King had actually referred to her insolent husband as "the Young Physician" earlier tonight, before realizing it was a case of mistaken identity...Was this Young Physician even more highly placed than the King of the Underground himself?Derek's subordinate took the call and held the phone up against Derek's ear since he no longer had fingers free to hold it himself. His face was covered in a layer of sweat now, and his body shivered, just as Frank's had moments ago, as he spoke into the phone nervous

    Frank was bleeding profusely from the side of his head where Derek had headbutted him. Blood ran down in thick streams, staining the gauze that covered the right side of his face. Even with his now-swollen, tear-filled eyes, he looked like something out of a horror movie—grotesque and pitiful all at once.Derek's men didn't hesitate. They shoved Frank closer to their leader and kicked him hard onto his knees. One of them slapped the back of his head viciously while the others hurled profanities at him."Who does this fool think he is, talking nonsense to Leader Derek?""I even thought he was with the Young Physician! To think he was acting on some stupid name!""He even dares to call Mr. King and the Young Physician by name without respect today! He really wants to die!""He thinks he can just kick us like dogs and walk away? Nonsense!""We should cripple him! Yes, that's right!""How dare you touch us without the Young Physician's authority? Who are you in the first place? We know ev

    At this moment, Frank Allen was completely self-absorbed in all the praise being showered upon him, drowning himself in his own delusion that he actually had a father who worked miracles for him like this regularly.He puffed out his chest arrogantly once more and declared loudly for everyone present to hear, “My father is Allen Jones of the indigenous Jones family in Sorevia! My father is a top executive at Mercedes-Benz!” He pointed accusingly at Derek and raised his voice even louder than before. “How dare you say you don't know my father when you're kneeling here because of him?”At this point, even Derek's men began staring at each other in visible confusion because they were already wondering who this arrogant guy even was—the one who not only attacked them unprovoked but kept talking endlessly about his father while Ms. DiLaurentis herself, the one they'd actually offended, hadn't even touched them yet.Derek's voice came out slow but dangerous as h
