"Why should I tell you!" Jon said rudely.
"If you don't say it, I'll call Mom right now and let her come see you like this!"
Elena pretended to take out her phone.
Jon quickly grabbed her wrist. "Don't call! Don't call! I'll talk!"
If Amanda saw him like this, she would only worry again.
"It was... it was Allan Morton, a rich kid at school. I accidentally offended him, and he's been giving me trouble ever since. He even got some gangster named Rook to teach me a lesson. I couldn't beat them, so... so this happened."
Jon lowered his head in shame.
"So, you didn't dare go home because you were afraid the family would see you like this and worry?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
Elena grabbed Jon's hand. "Take me to find them!"
"We can't! Allan's family is rich, and they're tight with Rook. We can't afford to mess with them..."
"Shut up! If I say take me to them, you do it! Where is all this nonsense coming from? I'm your sister; don't you trust me?" Elena scolded him sharply.
Jon was intimidated by Elena.
But thinking of that gang, he felt a wave of fear.
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go yourself!"
"Coward! Why are you so spineless? You won't go? Fine, I'll call Mom and let her take me!"
"Don't!" Jon quickly stopped her.
Elena had grabbed his weakness.
Helpless, he had to take Elena there.
They made their way to a local bar.
"Allan and Rook like to drink here. Also, this Rook is a local boss; he has a lot of influence in this area. Many people are afraid of him. Are you sure you want to go in?" Jon asked.
Elena didn't speak; she just walked straight in.
Jon choked and couldn't speak. Being in a weaker position, he had no voice here.
He thought he was definitely going to get beaten again today.
"Rook, since this kid doesn't know what's good for him, we have to teach him a proper lesson today!" Allan fawned over Rook.
Rook was bald, with tattoos covering his head and neck, so dense they were almost triggering.
The henchmen around him had dyed yellow or red hair and tattoos as well.
They all looked over, expecting a show.
Rook made a gesture, and Allan immediately shut up.
Drinking his beer, Rook looked at Elena and Jon.
"What's the meaning of bringing a woman here?" Rook asked.
"I..." Jon didn't know how to answer.
Allan burst out laughing. "Hahahaha! Rook, I bet he wants to sue for peace, so he brought a woman to offer to you!"
