The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 2

“Did the Gibsons really do that?” Jared furrowed his eyebrows, as he could not believe Sandy would do something like that.

Back when he was arrested, she even screamed in tears, saying that she would wait to marry him after he was released from prison.

Why did it turn out this way ? As a result, Jared decided to see Sandy to ask her about it.

Suddenly, someone banged on their door heavily. The impact was so forceful that the door almost collapsed from it.

The moment Hannah heard the knock, her face turned pale in terror.

“Mom, who is it?” Jared asked curiously upon noticing his mother's reaction.

“Don't get involved. Go to your room quickly and don't come out, no matter what!”

After pushing him into his room, Hannah

anxiously went to open the door.

Just as she did, a bald man entered with a group of fierce-looking men whose bodies were covered with tattoos.

“Have you prepared the money?” the bald man queried, glancing at Hannah.

“Baldy, I have. It's here.”

Hannah nodded repeatedly as she felt for a pouch in the corner.

At that moment, many of the neighbors had crowded around. However, they kept their distance at the sight of Baldy.

“These guys come asking for money every month. What a ruthless bunch!”

“Exactly. Where is the rule of law?”

“Shush, not so loud. They have been sent by the Scott family to collect money on schedule.”

The neighbors hid by the side and criticized the men's actions. Unfortunately, no one dared to interfere.

Meanwhile, Baldy snatched the pouch from Hannah's hands and opened it to check.

“What the f*ck is this?” Knitting his eyebrows, Baldy turned the pouch inside out, causing some torn notes and spare change to drop out. There were a hundred, a fifty, and a couple of ones. In fact, there was a load of coins inside.

“Does this even add up to ten thousand?” Baldy thundered at Hannah.

“Baldy, it's all there, and we counted it. If you don't believe me, you can count it yourself.”

Hannah nodded with an obsequious smile.

“Bullsh*t!” Baldy kicked Hannah in the abdomen and sent her crashing onto the ground. “How dare you ask me to count? I have no time for this. Change all of them to hundreds!”

“Mom!” Dashing out of his room, Jared quickly helped Hannah up.

Then, he swept an icy gaze across Baldy and his men, sending a chill down their spines.

“Jared, you shouldn't be out here. Go back into your room, and don't get involved!”

Hannah desperately tried to push him back.

“Mom, since I'm home, let me deal with this. You should just sit tight.”

After settling down Hannah on a chair, Jared turned to glare at Baldy.

Having scrutinized Jared, Baldy sneered, “Aren't you the guy who hit Mr. Scott with a brick and was imprisoned three years for it? I’m surprised that you're out! Your timing is impeccable. Today is the day your girlfriend and Mr. Scott are going to get married. As her ex-boyfriend, aren't you going to attend it?”
