“Good job, you gave them a good beating!” “These bullies who only pick on the weak deserve to be punished!” The onlookers, who were all Abigail’s neighbors, cheered and applauded when they saw that Abigail had won. They were often bullied by the gangsters and finally felt avenged.
“Abigail, you’re too impulsive. You shouldn’t have laid a hand on these people!” At that moment, Mr. Robinson limped forward, his face etched with worry.
“Why can’t I? They’re bullying us. Do you want me to just take this sitting down?” Abigail frowned. She thought her courageous act would earn her father’s praise. She didn’t expect him to reprimand her instead.
“Abigail, you’re too young. You don’t understand how evil society is. These men have people backing them. The situation will only worsen since you beat them up.” Mr. Robinson had a pained
expression.
“So what if they have someone backing them? Do you think I’m afraid? Not to mention, if I hadn’t acted, would our house still be standing here?” Abigail scoffed.
“Wealth is an external possession. It’s alright if they tear down our house, as long as we are safe. You should always remember that safety comes first!” Mr. Robinson said earnestly.
“Hmph! You’re such a coward that you won’t even retaliate when someone beats you up. Do you know that the weaker you are, the more you’ll be targeted? How long will it take for you to stand up for yourself!” Abigail screamed.
“I…” Mr. Robinson was rendered speechless. As a father, he only wished for his daughter’s safety. It didn’t matter if he was wronged.
“I didn’t expect you to have some skills, little brat. Suddenly, the young man in sunglasses opened the car door and got out. Behind him were two burly bodyguards dressed in suits.
“And who are you?” Abigail gripped her baseball bat once more, her expression wary.
“I’m Chad Miller from the Charging Tiger Gang. You just beat up my men earlier.” The young man. in sunglasses said nonchalantly.
“The Charging Tiger Gang?” The onlookers’ expressions fell with his revelation.
The Charging Tiger Gang was one of the four biggest gangs in Millsburg. They were even stronger than the Flame Dragon Gang They mainly engaged in illicit activities and recruited vile people. Notorious for their brutal methods, anyone who resisted the Charging Tiger Gang would suffer unimaginable pain. Over time, they became untouchable as their reputation spread far and wide. Just the mention of their gang sent fear through the crowd.
“So what if you’re from the Charging Tiger Gang? I’m not afraid of you!” Abigail raised her bat, her gaze determined.
Chad chuckled. “I admire your bravery, so I have decided to give you a chance.” With a grin, he said, “As long as you agree to be my slave and serve me day and night, I’ll let the both of you go.
How about it?”
“What a load of crap! Get lost, before I make you!” Abigail bellowed.
“You little brat, I’m trying to be kind here. I dislike being rejected. The consequences will be severe if you make me angry.” Chad’s expression was grim.
“Sir Chad, let’s talk this out.” Suddenly, Mr. Robinson rushed up to him and smiled apologetically. ” My daughter is young and naive. I hope you will be kind enough to let her go for her impudence.”
“Old man, who do you think you are? Do you think I’m going to let her go just because you said so? *Chad glanced sideways at him.
“Sir Chad, aren’t you here to demolish the house? We’ll move immediately and won’t take up your
time.” Mr. Robinson said as he hunched forward.
“A tit for tat. I want both the house and your daughter. If you don’t want to die, then get lost!” Chad was losing his patience.
“Sir Chad-”
“I told you to get lost!” Mr. Robinson was about to plead when Chad raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap, knocking Mr. Robinson to the ground.
“Dad” Abigail’s face twisted in anger.
“How dare you hit my dad! I’m going to fight you to death!” She gritted her teeth and charged forward furiously. As she got closer, she lifted her baseball bat and aimed it at Chad’s head.
“No!” Mr. Robinson exclaimed in alarm.
Just when it seemed like the bat was going to reach Chad, one of the bodyguards extended a hand out and grabbed the bat. With a gentle squeeze, they heard a crisp-sounding crack. The bat, which was as thick as an arm, was crushed instantly, leaving wood chips scattered all over the ground.
