Preston would never forget that teenager who publicly humiliated him in the federal court several months ago, in front of so many people, beating him until his nose bled incessantly. That moment had become an indelible dark history in his life. Since that incident, he always felt that his colleagues, subordinates, and even the prisoners in jail seemed to mock him with their gazes.
After Guding left Sea Blue Star, Preston found himself hearing news about Guding every so often. Each time, it was about Guding causing trouble somewhere and his bounty amount increasing. He increasingly felt that this teenager was his relentless nightmare, often dreaming at night of Guding chasing him. Guding's smiling face would scare him awake countless times from his sleep.
