“What exactly do you want?” A sense of foreboding flashed across Chandler King’s face.
“Nothing much. Last night, Brian Barry willingly broke both of Yves King’s arms. Of course, I initially intended for their bones to be shattered. But given his loyal service, I chose to let him off lightly with two dislocated arms instead. Then you brought the four of them here today, intending to throw them into the Hudson River, it seems?” Finn Lewis asked indifferently.
The types of people Finn despised most in his life were those who believed the world revolved around them because they possessed power or wealth. So, he wanted to see if the world truly revolved around them.
“In that case, you currently have nine bodyguards left. What if I were to command four of them to break your limbs? What would you do to them once you returned home? Replay tonight’s events once more? I look forward to it,” Finn Lewis said cheerfully. But not one person in the room felt at ease after he spoke, all of them felt a chill run down their spines.
Even the four bodyguards, Brian included, who had managed to stand up and disarm the other three all felt the same. Finn’s words felt like a death sentence to Chandler King and he didn’t even have to lift a finger. The sheer ruthlessness of it sent a shiver down Brian’s spine. He no longer dared to underestimate Finn Lewis.
Brian was certain that if Finn actually followed through with this, Chandler
King would undoubtedly die. Everybody present knew what they were planning tonight. The other bodyguards had chosen to stand by them due to some stroke of luck, considering how Brian had willingly taken the lead yesterday.
Although they preferred to believe otherwise, each of them knew very well that if they were to incur something similar in the future, they would meet the same fate. The previous episode hadn’t yet concluded when another one played out. What did they think the nine bodyguards would do? Break Chandler’s limbs and then send him home knowing they were waiting for their doom the next day?
Though none of them was as experienced as Brian, each one of them had tasted blood. Which mercenary had not been ruthless? Hence, if Finn were to do what he suggested, Chandler King would be a dead man. So, did Finn appear to be joking?
“You!” Chandler King yelled at Finn in anger and surprise, unable to articulate his thoughts. His face now bore a shade of fear. Even someone as crude as Brian could understand the implications, there was no way Chandler King wouldn’t understand.
“What’s bothering you? Well, the show has now begun. Did all nine of you understand my orders? Break his limbs, and all of you, including him, can live. Otherwise, Officer No.2.” Finn spoke calmly.
Officer No.2 immediately aimed his rifle at a bodyguard’s head, “I will do it, I will do it! ” The bodyguard, at gunpoint, spoke up instantly. When confronted with death, very few could bring themselves to face it fearlessly, especially as they knew they could avoid it under these circumstances. And from the past to present, the bodyguards who knew Finn Lewis understood that he always kept his word.
“Mr. King, I regret this,” the first bodyguard grimaced and picked up a nearby chair, approaching Chandler King.
Mr. King’s face had gone pale. He was at a complete loss for words. Was he supposed to beg Finn Lewis or the bodyguards for mercy? It seemed his plea would have been meaningless anyway. As he trembled, struggling to piece together a coherent sentence in his head, the bodyguard smashed the chair onto his leg without missing a beat.
“Thump-” “Ah!” Along with the muffled thud, one could hear the wretched scream echoing in the desolate villa area. Chandler King tumbled from the chair, clutching his leg as he wailed. Finn Lewis, slightly disgusted, looked at him writhing in pain. Even Yves King was braver than him and did not wet his pants in fear.
These people seemed indomitable in normal times, but at a time like this, they were no different than cowards. “I’m sorry, Mr. King.” The second bodyguard stepped forward even before Finn Lewis could aim his gun at him. He then picked up what remained of the chair and decisively smashed Chandler King’s other leg.
The rest of the bodyguards watched in silence, without any reaction or protest.
Seeing this, Finn knew that there would be no problem left. He spoke lightly, “Let’s go.”
After his statement, Finn turned around and walked towards another exit. Brian and his men hesitated briefly before they followed.
As Finn left the abandoned villa, he occasionally heard Chandler King’s agonized screams from behind. Finn shook his head slightly. Olivia Thatcher had already pulled up the car. Finn stood before the car door, looking back at Brian and his men, hesitating a bit before speaking to Officer No.l, “Take them to Proudly Nation. Henry Lewis there could use some hands.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The first man nodded and answered respectfully.
“Alright, clean up everything perfectly. You guys are good at that, so I’ll head back first.” Finn Lewis got in his car and left. Watching Finn leave, Brian turned around only to hear a scream from Chandler King from behind. He couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly. He then murmured, “From now on, we could probably only follow his orders. But at least we don’t have to worry about today’s matter happening again. On the flip side, it’ll probably be tough for us to associate with others.”
The other three men looked at each other, all shaking their heads with a bitter smile, “It seems like this casual guy is actually incredibly skilled. We were sent off to the Proudly Nation and even if something happens to Chandler in the Flame Nation tomorrow, I doubt anvone would stav around to die. With their
abilities, it would be a piece of cake to leave Celeston City. In the end, the King Family could only suspect that we teamed up to kill Chandler and run away together. They wouldn’t suspect it was him as it wouldn’t make sense.” Brian bitterly laughed and whispered again.
The other three, after exchanging looks, nodded heavily and said, “Well, Brother Brian, we’ve always been following you, there’s not much of a choice now. At least it seems like this young master wouldn’t betray us like the King family.”
“Well, let’s hope he’s a good guy.” Brian sighed again. He then felt ridiculous, a good guy? Could a good guy get his hands on that much heavy weaponry in the Flame Nation, a place so heavily cracking down on arms offences? That’s practically like running an army.
Finn, driving on the highway, couldn’t help but rub his face before asking, “Olivia, do you think I have the potential to be a smiling tiger? I seem to really like this style lately. Shouldn’t I be more into acting snobbish?”
“No, young master, you were very charming and elegant just now.” Olivia’s voice was full of laughter.
“I didn’t study much, don’t trick me.” Finn did not believe her.
“Really, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Brian and his men whether you were elegant or not.”
“Oh? Really? Why don’t I feel the same? Well, since you’ve said it twice, I’ll believe you then.” Finn said with confusion in his face. In the end, he chuckled, did his performance just now make him look handsome? Finn was intoxicated by the thought, but he could only show off in front of these minor characters. In the future, he’d have to find some famous people to show off in front of them.
“Exactly, young master, you really were handsome!” Olivia said without hesitation.
“Yes, I must be.” Finn nodded. Even Olivia says I’m handsome. Computers can’t lie. Finn nodded naturally, driving for the city quite satisfied. He came back home around 11 pm. The number 1 and number 2 had already returned. Sending off Brian and his gang to the Proudly Nation was not a job for them, they had Zero.
But the result was that the points in Finn’s hand was just over 110,000 points left. After using the Six-Dimensional Saiyan Crystal, more than 200,000 points were nearly all gone. It seems like these points are really hard to earn. Finn shook his head in resignation. But for now, this was the only way. Now it depended on how much he could earn from the app, Sky. But looking at the current speed, he would have to expand the channel in the federal system.
Within this year, Finn could potentially recoup his investment and start earning points. Not much after he got home, Henry Lewis’s call came in, “Young Master, everything here in the Proudly Nation is settled.” “Oh? Has the ranch been bought?” Finn asked curiously.
“Yes, we acquired a large ranch and a significantly large desert. All the purchase procedures were completed easily. Now, you own nearly 30,000 acres of ranch and desert in West Arrogant Empire, a remote area with a sparse population. And there are no major mines discovered nearby, so for us, at least for the next dozen years or so, it’s very safe.” Henry reported quickly.
“How much did it cost in total?” Finn asked immediately. He handed all of his 10 billion Flame Nation coins from the bank to Henry for the ranch purchase, which was out of the scope of his mission..
