King's Back novel Chapter 43

Jackson picked up two more stones from the ground and threw them inside.

“Ah, ouch!”

Two screams were heard immediately as to boys got hit.

Sara was secretly in awe. Even with a distance of 20 meters from them, this dude was actually still able to hit with precision. And it even looked like he threw them without much care.

The fellas were in pain for a while, beaten and pushed into the water, swallowing some of it. They cursed with anger as they were clearly being treated as punching bangs. Whoever showed their face would get stoned.

“If you dare to swim to shore again, I’ll split open your heads.”

Resentfully, they could only swim in the opposite direction.

If they tried to get to the shore, Jackson would offer them a stone, and his stones were as precise as a GPS, always finding the right target.

Some of them were completely exhausted, flopping about in the water for many minutes.

Swimming was a very strenuous sport. It didn’t take long for some to be completely done for.

“Boss…I…I…can’t anymore… I’m sinking…pull me out.”

“Shit, don’t fucking hold on to me, I also don’t have any strength left.”

Several people stared at the shore in unison with a pleading look.

Jack smiled proudly and said, “If any among you is willing to run all the way to the police department, you can come ashore.”

“Really??”

They immediately agreed without hesitation as they really had no strength left in the water, risking drowning if they continued staying there.

It was always better to be embarrassed than to drown to death, anyway. As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope.

They swam ashore like dying dogs. Collapsed on the ground, they panted and gasped for breath.

“Now hurry up, run to the police department and surrender yourselves, otherwise I’ll kick you all back to the river.”

With no other choice but to bite the bullet, they stood up and started running naked towards the police department, truly a grand scene to behold.

Sara couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh: “You’re a real piece of work.”

“Some things can’t be handled by conventional means, only by special means. That’s a piece of advice I’m giving you, Captain Elliot.

Sara Elliot was somewhat taken aback… his words seemed to imply something more. Could he be talking about the murderer?

“Shit, it’s already this late, I won’t make it in time.”

Jackson looked at the time, it was about time for work and he hasn’t even gone to buy breakfast yet. His wife would definitely get mad at him again.

“I’m in a hurry, gotta go. We shall meet again.” Jackson waved goodbye and went straight to the car, stepping on the gas pedal to rush home.

As he arrived home, Dolcie was already sitting on the table, looking around like a cat waiting to be fed.

“Jackson, it’s early morning. What have you been doing, still know how to come back?”

Dolcie was obviously somewhat upset as she saw Jackson return. He was nowhere to be found this early in the morning, and she had a pile of work waiting for her at the company.

If he were not to come back, she would just go to work by herself.

“Sorry, sorry, I met some little thieves on the road and dealt with them. Got some breakfast.”

“Y City is so secure, how did you even find thieves in the morning? And besides, you have no money with you, what did they even steal?”

“Whatever, I won’t eat. Have to rush to the company, I’m running late.”

Dolcie looked at the time, got up, and walked to the garage.

Jackson scratched the back of his head and quickly followed her.

……

On the way neither of them said a word. As they arrived at the company, Dolcie went straight to the president’s office, while Jackson clocked in for work in the sales department.
