With that, Nathan raised his leg and stomped at Hugh's right knee.
Crack!
The knee was instantly broken.
"Ahhhh!"
As he let out an agonizing cry, he lost his balance and dropped to his knees in front of Nathan.
With Queenie in his arms, Nathan looked down at Hugh before sweeping his gaze across the room to look at the Lindberg family. Finally, his eyes landed on the Matriarch's face.
He said coldly, "The great Lindberg family you are so proud of is nothing in front of me! Going forward, the Lindberg family is forbidden to appear in the South of Channing. If I find any of you there, I will kill you!"
After he finished, he took his daughter and turned to leave with his men.
At that moment, the Matriarch regained her senses. It would be a humiliation if word got out about how the Lindberg family had been thrashed by someone like Nathan. There was no way they could let him leave.
In an authoritative tone, she exclaimed, "Don't let them leave!"
"Everyone, attack together and capture them!"
Upon her orders, the surrounding followers numbered in the hundreds began to charge towards Nathan and his men.
They attacked savagely, like a pack of wolves.
Upon seeing the fierce enemy, Queenie's face turned pale, and she began to tremble. She quickly curled up like a kitten in Nathan's arms in fear.
Nathan hugged her closely and could deduce from her reaction that she must have been through many traumatic experiences over the last day and night.
With an empathetic expression, he softly reassured her, "Queenie, hug Daddy tightly and close your eyes. Daddy will be taking you home soon."
When she heard Nathan's words, the young girl quickly shut her eyes and buried her face tightly in his chest. There, she felt the comfort of his chest and heard his heartbeat pounding spiritedly. Soon after, she managed to calm down.
