Chapter 16
Celena started sobbing the moment she felt Liam’s arms wrap
around her. She wailed, “Run, Liam! Please-I’m begging you! I don’t want Jovie to live without a father.”
All of a sudden, a low voice boomed out from the distance, “You can
run but you can’t hide! Whoever dares to even lay a finger on my master has to feel my wrath!”
At the same time, a dozen vans screeched to a halt outside the
Nightwalker Club, and out stepped a team of burly men wielding daggers and baseball bats. A man emerged from among the crowd, dressed in a tailored suit with a cigar between his lips.
Celena started trembling at the sight of these men who looked about to beat them up. Despite her intense fear, she tried her best to ignore the excruciating pain shooting through her body and shielded Liam behind her back. She got onto her knees and began pleading for mercy, “Mr. Walker, this is all my fault! If you have to punish someone, you should punish me instead! Liam didn’t know better-please show him mercy!”
Before she could even continue, Liam reached out from behind her and pulled her onto her feet.
She turned to stare at him, tears brimming in her eyes. “Liam, stop it! Do you even know who he is? That’s Mr. Jonas Walker, the master of the Walker family who holds the power of the major gangs in Drunham City! We can’t possibly stand a chance against them! Don’t
to mess things up, please-I’m begging you! Leave while you can! his is all my fault, and’l should be punished, not you. Please leave and bring Jovie with you while you can.”
“Uncle Jonas, save me! I’m going to die! Please, Uncle Jonas! You

have to kill them!” Trent wailed in agony from the pool of blood he was lying in.
Jonas was ablaze at the sight of his beloved nephew being beaten up until this state. He bellowed at the top of his lungs, “Who dares to touch even a hair on my nephew’s head? Whoever did this isn’t going to make it out of here alive!”
With that, he turned to Celena and snarled, “Celena Stone, you and your family are just useless maggots leeching off us Walkers! My nephew was out of his mind to have fallen for you! How dare you say you’re willing to be punished? Do you even know what’s lying in store. for you?”
Liam sneered and stepped forward, shielding Celena behind his back. “You won’t stand a chance against me!”
“What a cocky b*stard!” Jonas was even more outraged by this. With a yell, his men sprang into their positions, bracing themselves to charge with Jonas’s next command. “How dare you speak to me that way? You’re either very courageous or very gullible. I’ll give you one last chance-either you get down on your knees and cripple yourself in punishment for what you’ve done to my nephew, or you and your
little whore can die!”
Celena quivered at this, she clutched Liam’s shirt sleeve and whimpered, “Liam, please go! Jovie still needs you!”
She was already counting her blessings at being able to see Liam again after all these years, so to her it did not matter at all whether she would walk out of here alive. All she wanted was for Jovie to
up with his father by his side!
