"H–
how dare you hit my son?!" Autumn glared at Abigail. He couldn't believe
that a commoner had the guts to slap his son in public.
"If he can hit my dad, why can't I do the same to him?" Abigail kicked To
rben hard, sending him flying a good ten feet away. The sight made Autumn
's blood boil. He seethed. "Y–you You brat!"
Hearing Autumn's shouts, a couple of martial arts experts from the Hill F
amily came forward.
"Why? Is that all it takes to piss you off?" Dustin snickered. "Torben's
actions were way worse than what she did to him. She's only making him pa
y a fraction of it."
"Leave, all of you!" Spring spun around and cast a frightening glare that
shut everyone up.
"Kid, keep going. You have nothing to worry about." Dustin nudged her cal
mly.
"Sure!" Abigail readily agreed to it. She immediately started kicking and
punching the crippled Torben. She had been stewing for a while after see
ing her father brutally tortured and naturally would not miss the opportu
nity for revenge. She wasn't worried about offending anyone at all.
"Is Abigail crazy? She's hitting Torben Hill!"
"She's done for! If the Hills were to take revenge, her entire family wou
ld be done for!"
"How rash of her to do that!"
Mike and the rest of his group were staring at her outburst in fear and s
hock. The mighty Hill Family was not an entity that an average citizen co
uld take on. Abigail was skating on thin ice.
Autumn's face was stiff with a grim expression. He wouldn't have quietly
endured the humiliation as he watched his son beaten to a pulp if it were
n't for the orders from his father.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, to say the least, as people watched
Abigail beat up Torben with all her might. The heavy beating further add
ed to the grave injuries that he sustained. Finally, she came to a stop w
hen he was at death's door.
"Are you done?" Dustin asked.
Panting heavily, she replied, "Yeah."
To carry out the revenge, she used up all the internal energy she had pre
viously conserved.
"Great." He nodded, and his gaze swept past the faces of the Hill Family
members. "We're even now. However, if you want revenge, you can always co
me at me."
"Dustin, that's a ridiculous idea! The Hills are known for our good moral
character. Since Torben was in the wrong, he should pay for his mistakes
. We only ask that you spare his life." Spring flashed a regretful smile
at Dustin.
Instead of replying, Dustin punched Torben in the stomach, and the latter
let out a scream as a blood–
stained silver needle pierced out of his back and hit the wall hard.
"Thank you, Dustin!" Spring bowed to Dustin. Dustin replied, "Don't menti
on it. The patient needs rest. Gentlemen, you should leave."
"Sure. We shall not disturb him further." After exchanging some small tal
k, Spring and his people left soon. During the entire visit, he did not s
how any complaints or dissatisfaction.
Mike and his group were left staring
agape at the Hill Family members who filed out of the room. At first, the
y thought that the Hills had dropped by to demand justice, and they belie
ved that Dustin was dead meat
when he insulted the family. It turned out that the entourage showed up t
o beg for leniency instead of going for the kill. None of them uttered a
word, even when Torben was beaten up.
