Ezekiel knew it was up to them to settle things when Remus did not try to defuse the situation.
He said confidently to his men behind him, “Boys, this is our chance to get revenge. This guy is all by himself. There's a limit to what he can do even if he's skilled in fighting. Let's attack him, and I'll take the fall for everything!”
His men felt reassured after hearing what he said.
Subsequently, they lunged at Donald with stones in their hands.
Meanwhile, Donald raised the pebble in his arm and started his attack.
At first, Ezekiel thought Donald could only handle at most four people, regardless of how good he was at fighting.
They thought Donald would lose if all of them charged toward him at once.
However, soon, they realized they were wrong.
Although Donald's punches and kicks were not fancy, they were all executed well in terms of angle and power.
None of the people who lunged at Donald was spared. All of them were hit in the head by him with pebbles.
Clutching their injured heads that were covered in blood, they lay on the ground looking pale. Clearly, they more severe injuries compared to Linda.
It had only been less than two minutes into the fight, but Ezekiel was the only man in his group left standing.
When he saw Donald getting closer to him, he yelled in Remus' direction, “Why aren't you police officers taking action? Don't you see he's trying to murder us? Hurry up and stop him.”
Remus dug his ears, then said, “What? A murder? I don't think so. I only see a fight happening here. Don't worry. Of course, we'll take action. After he finishes beating you up, we'll bring him back to the station.”
Ezekiel nearly popped a vein in anger after he heard Remus' words.
What does he mean that he'll only seize this guy after he finishes beating me? What if I die from his assault? I won't be able to come back alive again, even if they give him a life sentence.
Knowing Remus was determined not to get involved, Ezekiel stared at Donald and said, “Hey! It's best not to mess with us, the Brown family, when you're in Fairlake. You won't be able to leave Fairlake alive if you beat me up today.”
“Wow, I'm terrified.” Donald sneered, “Then what if I beat you to death?”
“If you do, your entire family will have to pay the price with their lives.”
“All right, I'll kill you and see if your words will come true.”
“Y-You—”
Before Ezekiel could speak, he got hit in the mouth by Donald with a pebble.
Suddenly, Ezekiel felt his mouth filled with many tiny stones.
A metallic scent of blood overwhelmed him when he paid closer attention.
Pain abruptly came to him. At that moment, Ezekiel spat out the things in his mouth.
To his surprise, Donald had smashed eight of his teeth.
“D*mn you—” he mumbled.
Ezekiel had never felt so humiliated before and decided to strike back after spitting out his teeth.
However, Donald grabbed his right arm as soon as he flung his punch.
Crack!
The pebble in Donald's hand smashed hard on Ezekiel's elbow, causing it to bend ninety degrees in the opposite direction. The scene gave Remus goosebumps all over.
“Ron, I'm afraid something terrible will happen if this continues. Are we not stopping them?”
Although Remus had long disliked Ezekiel, they would be suspected of dereliction of duty if they allowed Donald to continue assaulting Ezekiel.
Ron glanced at Remus and said, “Riley told us on the phone earlier to treat Donald like royalty and let him do whatever he wants. Are you telling me you'll stop him now that he wants to kill someone?”
Immediately after hearing Ron's words, Remus waved his hands furiously.
Despite Riley's average work ability, he became a captain since he was well-informed and observant.
