When Gerald witnessed Wynn being assaulted, he also felt some self-loathing inside, and all of a sudden, his blood boiled.
“Fck, I understand now. Wynn, he’s the sugar baby you’ve been feeding, right? How dare you have the balls to hit me! I’m Damien-fcking-Rye! Just wait and see, kid, I’m going to skin you alive!”
Damien was still cursing at Gerald as blood gushed down his face.
Gerald was not afraid of him. He ran up to him, ready to swing his stool.
Growing up in his hometown, Gerald has suffered all kinds of hardships. He used to be poor and timid, but he was quite strong.
As things started to escalate, Damien dared not stall any longer.
He was then continuously smacked with a stool as he wailed in pain. In the end, he managed to get to the door and fled.
“Miss Thornton! Are you okay?”
Gerald threw down his stool and approached Wynn with concern.
Wynn wiped her tears and shook her head. “I’m fine, that son of a b*tch, he came up shortly after you guys left. Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise I would’ve been…”
“…It’s better to not talk about it, now you’ve saved both of our lives, I can’t drag you into this mess, so you’d better get out of here now. Damien Rye is a vengeful b*stard, he’s from one of the most powerful families in Mayberry. You’d better leave now before he gets a good look on your face!”
Panic flashed in her eyes.
No one knew Damien Rye better than she did. He once heard someone mentioned that Damien had a crush on a service girl at the bar. He wanted her to accompany him, but that service girl’s boyfriend also worked at the same bar, and he was reluctant to let her go.
Her boyfriend stepped forward to stop him.
As a result, Damien Rye sent his goons to beat him up, severing his hamstrings.
Then, he raped the service girl and let his goons have their turns.
In short, Damien Rye was an inhumane beast.
And he had the entire Rye family behind his back.
“I’m not afraid of him, besides, who knows what will happen to the both of you if I leave? He will definitely not let go of you and your daughter!”
Gerald was indeed not afraid of him.
If he were to run off from the scene like a pussy, he would rather jump off the building! He knew he could not be that kind of person.
