Then screams of agony came from within the room. Every single one of Hugo’s men would slap Graham three times. By the end, Graham’s face was swollen like an overinflated balloon, unrecognizable.

Hugo patted Graham’s swollen check. “Let this be a lesson. Next time you see me, you’ll present your face willingly. Are we clear?”

Graham nodded frantically, unable to speak.

Hugo nodded happily.

Chapter go Evan Strikes

Hugo was about to say something when a soft clink sounded behind him. Evan had finished his food.

The man put his utensils down and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was going to leave, but everyone’s eyes were now on him.

“Hm?” Hugo turned around, momentarily caught off guard. Evan had barely registered as a presence in the room. While everyone else watched Graham’s humiliation, Evas had focused entirely on his meal, so thoroughly ignored that no one even noticed him remaining behind.

Hugo’s men had forgotten to throw him out when they cleared the room.

Silence blanketed everyone as they stared at Evan. Eventually, Hugo said, “You’re leaving just like that, punk?”

Evan smiled. “Well, I’ve finished my food, so yeah.”

Hugo’s expression darkened, bloodlust flaring in his eyes. “Are you messing with me? The Overlord is looking for you as we speak. The moment they find out that the gemstone you stole is fake, your life is forfeit!”

Evan’s gaze cooled instantly. He looked Hugo in the eye. “I’ll say this one more time. I didn’t steal the gemstone. It was the heir of the Norwoods, Darius. If you want to talk to the thief, talk to him.”

Three years ago, Evan was too weak to control his own fate. Someone else did it for him. Now he had the power to make a choice. He’d never let this slander slide.

Hugo smiled. “Someone’s grown a spine. Did a few peaceful years make you forget how close the Overlord came to killing you?”

Everyone gave Evan a look of cold indifference, like he was dead.

Hugo continued, “And you’d have died if I hadn’t put in a good word, Yes, I did slap Graham, but I also did help him!” He kicked the unconscious Graham.

“So you owe me one as well, punk. The result will be out soon. The Overlord’s coming for you sooner or later. I suggest you come with me now-save him the trouble.”

At the same time, Hugo’s men closed in, forming a tight circle around Evan. The atmosphere turned suffocating. Evan looked like a lone lamb surrounded by wolves.

A quiet sigh escaped Evan’s lips. “You could’ve stayed out of this, Hugo.”

“What?” For some reason, Hugo saw pity in Evan’s eyes, even though the guy was in big trouble. “Get him! If he fights back, break his legs!”

Hugo’s men leaped ahead like predators…

And they blasted through the air like ragdolls. Hugo didn’t even see how Evan did it.

..

The ladies were outside the resort, waiting and worrying. Anya was concerned about her father.

Just as they were about to rush back inside, a thunderous crash echoed through the night.

A body flew out of the building at terrifying speed. It took them a second to realize it was Hugo.

Then they rushed back into the resort. The scene that met them shocked them into silence.
