Ronan was afraid when he saw the well-dressed man. He quickly explained, "Mr. Yates, I have already resigned from my position at the supermarket. My notice period is ending in two days. I will move out once I receive my pay."
"I don't care when your notice period ends. As I have mentioned before, I never want to see you again, and I will break your legs if I do. Did you think that I was joking with you?!" Mr. Yates exclaimed menacingly.
It turned out that this Mr. Yates's name was Hudson, and his father was the District Chief. A few days ago, Hudson had been about to rape a drunk, beautiful girl in front of the bar entrance, and Ronan had caught him red-handed.
Ronan had stepped forward to stop it without hesitation and reported the incident to the police. This had utterly offended Hudson! Then, in the presence of numerous police officers, he threatened Ronan to never appear before him. Otherwise, he would teach him a lesson.
Now that they had crossed paths again, his anger suddenly spiked, as did the urge to stir up some trouble for Ronan.
Nathan immediately flared up when he heard this brat calling his teacher an old man.
He stood up and said coldly to Hudson, "Who do you think you are? How dare you treat my teacher with such disrespect. Kneel before him and apologize."
"You want me to apologize to this old man?" Hudson had heard what Nathan said, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud together with his friends. He sneered at Nathan and, with a threatening tone, he said, "Look, you little punk. I'm warning you not to meddle in other's business. Else, we will beat you up to a bloody pulp."
"Colin!" Nathan yelled furiously.
Colin answered, "Yes, sir!"
Nathan ordered coolly, "Make him kneel down!" "Yes, sir!" Colin accepted the orders dutifully.
Upon seeing this, Hudson snorted in a cold manner, "Let's beat them up all at once. I will bear the consequences at the police station later. I guarantee you that everything will be fine." Hudson's mates instantly lunged at the three of them, one after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Colin punched each of them, his motions quick and sure.
After a few punches, all of Hudson's men lay on the ground, writhing in pain.
Hudson was horrified!
Colin strode towards Hudson.
