Sensing Bobby's anger, Marilyn persuaded Harold to leave out of concern for his safety.
Unfortunately, both their words fell on deaf ears as Harold gave Bobby a death stare.
“Since you refuse to tell me which hand it was, I'll break both of them so that you won't be able to hurt anyone else!”
Harold spoke in a calm tone, as if it was a trivial matter.
“Hahaha...”
“How dare this kid threaten to break Mr. Jackson's hand at the Jackson residence? Is he a lunatic who has escaped from a mental institution?”
Harold's declaration triggered hearty laughter from Bobby and sounded like a bad joke to the rest of the guests.
All of them looked at Harold as if he was mad.
The Jackson family's shipping business ruled the seas. Not only were they extremely wealthy, but they also commanded a heavily-armed private army that struck fear into the hearts of pirates.
The force was made up of retired special forces from all over the world.
Therefore, everyone thought that Harold was a fool for threatening to break Bobby's hands.
Given that powerful families would never tolerate any insult, the Jackson family had good reason to feed Harold to the sharks for his threat alone.
However, while everyone was laughing at Harold for overestimating himself, an agonized scream suddenly rang out.
“Argh! My hand!”
The bone-chilling cry seemed to come from between Harold and Bobby, causing everyone to think that Harold was the one in pain.
Since Bobby was twice the size of Harold and possessed a history of brutality, it wouldn't be a surprise that he was teaching the troublemaker a lesson.
However, when everyone took a closer look, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets because the one screaming in pain was actually Bobby.
A gentle twist of Bobby's wrist by Harold was enough to unleash a harrowing cry from the former.
Bobby subsequently dropped to his knees when Harold increased the pressure he applied.
Soon, the loud cracking sounds of Bobby's fracturing hand sent a chill down everyone's spine.
The great shipping magnate, Franklin, and his wife, Stephanie, were utterly shocked to see their son's hand being broken.
The shock brought Franklin to his feet despite his serious health condition.
At the same time, Stephanie barked, “Men, seize the intruder and this despicable woman!”
No sooner had the words rolled off her tongue than a group of burly-looking bodyguards emerged and quickly surrounded Harold and Marilyn.
Beyond being just well-built, they were obviously experienced fighters from the weathered look on their faces.
Meanwhile, the crowd staggered back by reflex, intimidated by the bodyguards' fearsome presence.
As for Marilyn, her face turned as pale as a sheet.
The sight of Harold had overwhelmed her with elation to the extent that she had forgotten how terrifying the Jackson family was.
The Jackson family's bodyguards were not just ordinary bodyguards. One of their responsibilities involved engaging pirates in battle on the high seas.
Battle-hardened in the jaws of death, they exuded a murderous aura so intense that it suffocated any ordinary person around them.
