The Forgotten Titan's Resurgence novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 

At the same time, the young heirs of the Torres, Campbell, and other families received similar harsh scoldings from their fathers. The five men exchanged bewildered looks, uncertain of what was happening. 

“What’s going on, guys?” Eric asked in confusion, but they could only offer apologetic looks. 

“I’m sorry, Eric. There’s an emergency at home. I need to go right away,” Ivan said hurriedly. 

“Same here…” 

The others echoed similar excuses and quickly bolted out of the building with their hired muscle. What had been a crowd of 58 thugs now dwindled to just eight. 

“Surround them!” Fred commanded quickly, and their 20 security guards encircled Eric and his remaining thugs. 

The tables had turned, bringing relief to the Snows, while Eric stood there dumbfounded, unable to understand why his allies had suddenly abandoned him. 

“Fred, I’ll let you handle this,” Gideon said casually. 

“No problem,” Fred replied with a cold smile. Though he did not know exactly how, he was certain Gideon had orchestrated Ivan’s group’s sudden departure, which only increased his admiration for him. 

“Fred, what are you doing?” Eric shouted, his hair standing on end. Then, he called out to the departing Gideon, Stop right there! Tell your men to let me go, or you’ll face the consequences!” 

Gideon did not even bother to respond, and Fred stepped in, saying, “Stop yelling! You’ve pushed the Snow family around one too many times, thinking we’re pushovers. Today, you’re going to learn your lesson—get him!” 

The security guards swarmed forward. Though the eight thugs were skilled fighters, their sheer numbers quickly, overwhelmed them.
