Chapter 135
The man continued to wail on the ground as if he wouldn’t be satisfied until he extorted a hefty sum from Steven.
The girl sitting beside me cautiously approached and discreetly filmed the shameless man
before nervously asking me, “Miss, is he your boyfriend? He seems so cool.”
I looked up at Steven, who was glaring at the man.
He was probably already thinking about how to deal with this guy and put an end to this
nuisance.
Taking a deep breath, I forced a smile. “Yeah, that’s just his personality.”
“I’m warning you, this won’t stop until you pay up. Are you in cahoots with this disgraceful woman to attack people in broad daylight?” The man continued his tirade. Since no one was paying him any mind, he redirected his accusations toward the girl beside me.
In truth, the girl’s attire was quite normal. She was wearing a floral sundress that accentuated her well–proportioned figure. She gave off a sunny, youthful vibe.
But the man persisted in criticizing her attire.
“You’re the indecent one,” the girl retorted in tears.
Steven’s glare sent shivers down the man’s spine.
I guessed if the man knew Steven was mentally ill, he would be trembling in fear.

Indeed, the man seemed genuinely scared. He hesitantly inched away from Steven on the ground. “What are you looking at?”
He didn’t dare provoke Steven, who towered over him, so he directed his aggression toward me.
I sighed, reaching out to tug at Steven’s sleeve. I wasn’t afraid of the man extorting us, was afraid Steven might lose control.
I didn’t understand the world of the mentally ill. They were too unpredictable.
“I’m telling you, you have to pay up, or this won’t end!” the man continued to scream.

“He’s trying to blame you guys. I bet he’ll call the police. When they arrive, I’ll testify for you,” the girl offered to help us avoid trouble with the man.
I remained silent and held onto Steven tightly.
“You’re all a bunch of crooks. I bet you two are prostitutes too!” The man persisted in his
accusations.
Chapter 135
With a loud thud, Steven stepped forward and kicked the man against the subway door.
The man’s greasy face bore the imprint of Steven’s shoe, and blood began to trickle from his
nose.
“He assaulted me! Help! Assault!” the man started to cry out, attempting to attract more
attention.
Steven walked over, grabbed his collar, and punched him in the
eye.
He crouched there with an impassive expression, as if he were engaged in something intriguing.
He grabbed the man’s collar and effortlessly delivered another punch, swelling both of the
man’s eyes.
The man let out a cry as he looked fearfully at Steven. Despite being a middle–aged man with considerable strength, he was completely overpowered by Steven.
Although Steven appeared slender and tall, he possessed an unexpected amount of strength.
“Steven…” I nervously stood up, attempting to intervene.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
