Beardie and his men stared at Edmund, whose face was extremely swollen from the slap. A few of his teeth were also missing. The men held themselves together and cried out, "Young Master Harvey! You're still alive!”
Edmund fell into a trance momentarily before snapping back into reality.
When he turned to Nathan again, there was visible fear in his eyes. He put on a tough front and soon instructed his men, "What are you all standing around for? Kill this kid!"
"Yes, Young Master Harvey!" Beardie and his men responded instantly. They then turned to Nathan and got ready to pounce at him.
Upon this scene, Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight arrived, speedily.
Colin roared out, "Who dares to disrespect our Master? Take them down!"
"Kill them!" The Elite Eight growled in unison.
They lunged forward, like tigers on a hunt.
Sounds of screaming and carnage instantly filled the compartment as the smell of blood wafted through the air.
The battle was over as soon as it had started.
When Edmund finally made sense of the situation, his subordinates were already slumped onto the floor, in a pool of blood.
Edric and the rest of the hotel staff watched Colin and his men in shock, as they thought to themselves, who are these people, so bold as to touch the Harvey family's men?
Edmund was increasingly dumbfounded. He pointed at Colin and cursed, "Who the f*** are they?"
Another loud smack reverberated yet again. This time, it was Colin, who had slapped Edmund on the unharmed side of his face. Now, Edmund had both sides of his face swollen.
After Colin slapped Edmund, he placed his hand on Edmund's shoulder as he soon applied pressure upon it, causing Edmund to fall on his knees before Nathan and Penny. Colin then berated, "Are you f****** dumb? You'd tried hitting on Madam at the airport, but our Master had decided to spare you once. How dare you come looking for trouble yet again? It seems that we're going to have to teach you the hard way."
