With that, she reached out her hand to grab the hairpin in her hair, planning on pressing it against her own throat to threaten the Jackson family.
As soon as she pulled the hairpin off her hair, however, Harold already had her wrist in his hand.
“The Jackson family is nothing. You don't have to threaten them with your life. Have you forgotten about the fact that I was once a soldier as well?” Harold took the hairpin away from Marilyn.
Marilyn was worried because she thought Harold was underestimating his opponents. “Could you stop being so arrogant? Do you know who these bodyguards are? They're all retired special forces members from all over the world. Besides, they often fight against pirates. Each of them can take on ten to a hundred enemies on their own—”
Before she could finish her sentence, the bodyguards had already started attacking Harold.
Two of the bodyguards wanted to grab Harold's shoulders from behind and pull him away.
However, Harold abruptly turned around the moment they touched his shoulders. He then slashed the bodyguards' wrists with the hairpin.
“Ouch!”
“Ah!”
The two bodyguards screamed in pain and retreated while holding their wrists. Once they were a safe distance away, they stared at Harold in fear.
Harold was simply too fast. Before the bodyguards knew it, Harold had already crippled their hands.
The other bodyguards were also taken aback.
Unlike the other onlookers, the bodyguards could tell how strong Harold was.
The bodyguards were all retired special forces and would constantly engage in battles with pirates.
Needless to say, they were all elite fighters, so that was why they could tell how strong Harold was from that one move of his. When we fight against ordinary people, our opponents will retreat in fear the moment we step forward. Yet, this young man before our eyes isn't afraid of us at all. Instead, he's even capable of killing us!
Indeed, if Harold had slashed the bodyguards' throats instead of their wrists, they would've died on the spot.
Knowing that was the case, the bodyguards couldn't help but proceed warily.
The guests, on the other hand, thought Harold was just lucky. They assumed the bodyguards were simply caught off guard, and that was how Harold managed to harm them.
Marilyn thought so, too.
“Come at me all together at once! Don't waste my time.” Harold swept a glance at the other bodyguards.
At that moment, Harold felt as though he was fighting against a bunch of kids. No matter how many of them there are, they can't defeat me.
The bodyguards gasped when they heard that.
However, the guests still thought Harold was overestimating himself.
“This fellow is acting brazenly after pulling off one move! I bet he has never taken a beating before. Let's see how he's going to beg for mercy later!”
“He's courting death!”
“Go on! Kill him! Let's see if he'll still dare to act haughtily.”
The guests were criticizing Harold, and they were all expecting him to be taught a lesson.
A few troublemakers at the scene were even cheering the bodyguards on. They couldn't wait to see Harold getting beaten up.
Yet, the bodyguards ignored all the guests. With grim expressions, they then called out a few other of their companions, who were secretly maintaining order among the crowd.
The guests were dumbfounded when they saw what the Jackson family's bodyguards did. Aren't the Jackson family's bodyguards supposed to be able to take on ten to a hundred enemies each? Why are they so scared after getting ambushed once? Do they really need to gang up on one man?
“Let's get him!” shouted the leader of the bodyguards.
Seven to eight unharmed bodyguards rushed toward Harold.
“Watch out, Harold!”
Marilyn shouted at Harold when she saw those fierce-looking bodyguards approaching.
In response, Harold flashed a smile at her, telling her to not worry.
Marilyn found Harold's smile charming, but she thought that could be the last time she saw him smiling. It's different this time around. Earlier, Harold caught the others off guard. Now, however, they're well prepared, and they're the ones attacking. Although Harold was once a soldier, the people he's about to fight are even scarier.
At that moment, Marilyn grew even more worried.
However, she widened her eyes in disbelief in the next second because Harold sent seven to eight of those bodyguards, who were capable of easily defeating pirates, flying with just a kick.
The guests thought their eyes were playing tricks on them when they saw how easily Harold had defeated those bodyguards.
In fact, Harold deliberately slowed down his movements when he kicked those bodyguards so that the commoners wouldn't panic.
If Harold hadn't done that, no one at the scene would have even caught a glimpse of his leg. Even if a dozen more were coming my way, I could still wipe them out with a single kick.
“What... Are these bodyguards working with that fellow? Are they putting on an act to fool us?”
“I think he must have paid those bodyguards off! Otherwise, how could it be that a man could send seven to eight trained fighters flying with a single kick?”
Some of the guests at the scene thought Harold was either working with the bodyguards or had paid them off to put on a show.
Meanwhile, Bobby and his mother were also in disbelief as they stood on the stage and watched the scene unfold.
“Let's go!” Harold ignored the crowd and pulled Marilyn toward the exit.
Stephanie grew anxious when she saw Harold bringing Marilyn away. Letting Harold leave now is going to embarrass the Jackson family!
With that in mind, she shouted, “B*stard! Do you think you can just come and go as you wish?” Turning to one of the guests, she shrieked, “Chief Zinke, this man came to the Jackson residence and caused injuries to others. Are you not going to arrest him?”
The guest in question was none other than the police chief, Joe Zinke.
Dressed in plain clothes, Joe had been waiting for someone to say that. With a wave of his hand, a few more policemen in plain clothes appeared from the crowd and pointed their guns at Harold.
