Baldy snarled , I hate showoffs like you the most Lets see how tough you really are .

Boys , teach him a lesson ! With that command , the gang approached Shawn kicking and stomping him mercilessly .

Stop it , you bastards ! Shawn screamed , his bravado evaporating instantly .

I order stop right now , or Ill make you all disappear ! you to His threats quickly turned to pitiful pleas .

Please , stop ! Im begging you ! Youre going to kill me ! Shawns face was a mess of bruises , his nose broken .

The worst pain came from a vicious kick to his groin , leaving him wondering if he could ever father children .

Christina stepped forward , her face ashen .

You thugs ! What gives you the right to beat someone like this ? Just as she rushed to shield Shawn with her body , Baldy called for his men to stop .

He sneered at Shawns battered form .

Your pathetic Fields family is nothing but dirt to Mr.

Garner .

Got it ? Since you claim to have a stake in the orphanage property , youre coming with us to see the boss .

Grab him and the girl ! Shawn , trembling , asked , Wait … When you say Mr.

Garner , are you talking about Mr.

Dylan Garner , the South City crime lord ? Baldy grunted in affirmation .

Its too late to realize who youre messing with ! Take him .

away , and Christina too ! Irene and the barely conscious Leroy watched in terror , too scared to interfere .

These guys were ruthless and clearly did not even respect the Fields family , Hence , they had already lost their nerve .

Suddenly , Shawns demeanor changed .

Wait ! I have something to say , he pleaded .

That orphanage property has nothing to do with me .

Just leave me out of this , okay ? As soon as he said this , Christina , Irene , and Leroy looked at him in disbelief .

However , Shawn could not care less about anything anymore .
