Chapter 43 Save Us

Mrs. Cole found herself persuaded.

“That actually makes sense…”

The girl’s clothing and mannerisms clearly came from a good family.

If they locked her up somewhere rural for a while, then once she got pregnant there would be no need to pay for a dowry.

After the marriage, her family would probably continue supporting them financially.

The more she thought about it, the better it sounded.

Clearing her throat, she announced,

“Girl, you have two choices.”

“You can be sold with Hannah to Don…”

“Or you can marry my son.”

“Think carefully and decide.”

She expected to see fear, hesitation, or panic on Iris’s face.

Instead, Iris simply stood there quietly.

The calmness made the three of them look like clowns putting on a ridiculous performance.

Hendric assumed she was too frightened to speak.

Grinning broadly, the fat on his cheeks jiggled.

“Being with me is way better than ending up with Don.”

“Don’t be scared. As long as you’re obedient, I won’t hit my wife.”

Holding a rope, he moved forward, intending to tie Hannah up first.

Iris saw him approaching. She pulled the stubbornly protective Hannah behind her.

“Stay back.”

Then she waited.

Right as Hendric got close enough-

She suddenly dropped low and delivered a powerful kick.

Caught completely off guard, Hendric lost his balance and crashed to the floor.

BOOM!

The entire apartment seemed to shake.

Before he could react, Iris snatched the rope from his hands.

She folded it several times and whipped it across his body without mercy.

“Ow! Ow! Ow!”

Hendric screamed and rolled across the floor in agony.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t dodge.

Seeing their son being beaten, Mr. and Mrs. Cole immediately panicked.

Especially Mrs. Cole.

Pointing at Iris, she shrieked,

“You little bitch! How dare you hit my son?! I’m going to teach you a lesson today!”

:

The couple charged forward together, intending to restrain her.

Just then-

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Someone knocked on the door.

Mr. Cole instantly tensed.

Trying to keep his voice steady, he called out,

“Who is it?”

“It’s me! I’m here to pick them up!”

Don!

Not daring to offend the man who was paying them, Mr. Cole hurried over and opened the door.

At the same time, he hoped Don would help deal with Iris.

The moment the door opened, a powerful force shoved Mr. Cole aside.

Standing in the doorway was a trembling Don.

Behind him stood two men.

Don’s face was pale as he looked over his shoulder.

“Mr. Barclay… I’ve already helped you out here.”

“Can I leave now?”

Don flashed an ingratiating smile, revealing two oversized gold teeth.

The moment he looked up and caught the dangerous smile on Ares’s face, however, he immediately swallowed whatever he had been about to say. Lowering

his head, he stood there obediently and silently lamented his terrible luck.

Iris glanced at her watch.

Exactly fifteen minutes.

Not a second early or late.

Just like her, Ares clearly had a strong sense of timing.

Mr. Cole and Mrs. Cole stared at the two men who had suddenly appeared, then at the once-arrogant Don, who was now acting as docile as a house cat.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to do.

Julian closed the door behind them.

Ares’s gaze immediately landed on Iris. He noticed that the bandage on her right hand had begun bleeding again.

His expression darkened.

Taking several long strides forward, he stopped in front of Hendric and looked down at him from above.

Red welts covered Hendric’s face and arms where Iris had lashed him with the rope. He was still rolling around on the floor in pain.

Julian stepped forward and planted a foot on his arm.

Forced down, Hendric immediately stopped struggling.

When he looked up, he met Ares’s faintly smiling face.

But when he blinked-

The smile vanished.

The cold, expressionless look that replaced it filled him with inexplicable terror.

Julian applied a little more pressure.

A bloodcurdling scream burst from Hendric’s throat.

The force was perfectly controlled-not enough to knock him unconscious, but enough to keep him trapped in relentless agony.

Ares’s voice was calm.

“What did you say she was to you?”

Not wanting Hannah to witness too much, Iris quietly stepped in front of her and blocked the scene from view.

Hendric was trembling violently.

“An ancestor! She’s my ancestor!”

Crack.

The crisp sound of bone breaking echoed through the room.

To everyone else, it looked as though Julian had merely pressed down slightly with his foot.

“Only worthless men,” Ares said coldly, “treat women as possessions.”

Seeing their son’s arm broken, Mr. Cole and Mrs. Cole nearly lost their minds.

They rushed forward, hoping to pull Julian away, only to be stopped by Don and his men.

Don grabbed them both.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t go against Mr. Barclay.” His voice was full of genuine fear. “He’s someone who can practically control all of Capital.”

Not long ago, Don had been caught trafficking people within Ares’s territory.
