Chapter 177
Brandon’s last words somehow sounded familiar because Xander had said it earlier today. No, wait–it was the boss‘ message. I couldn’t help but look at Brandon again. With my understanding of him, I knew he couldn’t possibly be the boss.
“Cocky, huh?” The leading bald man scoffed. “Let’s see how much you can take!” He cracked his neck and exclaimed, “Destroy the place!”
Immediately, the group behind the bald man started smashing things. Brandon, however, stayed unmoving. I understood why he was doing that.
He wasn’t afraid; he knew that if these people started destroying the property here, it was equivalent to messing with Chris. That changed the whole narrative
At that moment, the security of the amusement park dashed toward them. The guards could ignore the fight between the burly men and Brandon, but destroying property within their vicinity was where they crossed the line. The security’s job was to protect the amusement park.
Although the troublemakers were tough, they were easily outnumbered by the guards. In no time, the security had stopped them. Naturally, that was not the end of things. These punks had come prepared.
The leading man suddenly grabbed the head of one of the guards, placed a knife against his neck, and threatened angrily. “Get your fucking hands away from us, or I’ll slash his throat right here!”
Stunned by the scene, I immediately signaled the security guards to release the punks.
The guards did accordingly, but the bald man did not release the man he held hostage. Instead, he glanced at Brandon. “I know you’re a stubborn one, but I fancy myself a challenge. If you want this man alive, kneel and apologize to me. Otherwise, prepare for a bloodbath.”
“You can’t do that!” I couldn’t help but voice out.
The bald man diverted his attention to me. “Hey, pretty chick. I see you’re soft–hearted. Why don’t you come to me, and I promise not to hurt you and him?”
There was no way to negotiat my way out when faced with thugs. While holding the guard hostage, he started inching toward me. Even if I stayed put, he would still capture me regardless.
As such, I concocted a plan. As soon as he neared me, I would strike!
Before I could execute my plan, Brandon appeared beside me and sent a flying kick toward that man. Wailing in pain, the bald man fell on his back.
He fell to the floor heavily. When his head landed on the ground, it bounced back up twice. He was fleshy, and that made him surprisingly bouncy!
Meanwhile, the other punks were startled by the turn of events. They called out to their boss, “Tank!” before gathering around him.
Tank was definitely doing the tanking.
Faced with their defeated leader, the other punks were ready to attack Brandon. Before they could do anything: Brandon exerted his dominance and shouted, “Scram!”
The punks froze at his word. Moments later, they scrambled to pick up their beat–up leader and flee.
Glancing at the destroyed park, I walked over to Brandon and asked, “What exactly happened?”
“They tried to stop me from investigating my father’s car accident case. He was honest.
