Chapter 52: You Can Ask Them in Hell
“What the hell is wrong with you? Didn’t you tell me that you’ve checked the van? But what’s wrong
with it now?”
Panther landed a slap on the driver’s face.
In response, the driver continued to reply in a trembling voice, “Pan… Panther, there’s nothing wrong
with the van.”
“Then are you meaning to say that the van itself is fine, but somehow that person standing in front of
our van is able to stop the van from moving?” Panther almost wanted to follow up his slap with another.
The driver couldn’t stop nodding as his answer.
“Why the hell are you nodding in response?” Panther couldn’t control his rage again as he slapped the
driver on his head.
The driver turned around to look at Panther with a terrified and wronged expression. He swallowed
hard and managed to add, “Panther, I’m telling you the truth. You can see for yourself, the part of the
bonnet where he’s pressing on has become distorted. There’s a huge depression underneath his
hand!”
After listening to the driver’s explanation, Panther decided to verify his claims. True enough, when saw
that what the driver had said was true, his pupils shrank.
However, how could someone be able to stop the car from lurching forward with just his one hand?
How could this be possible?
“Go down and shove him aside now.”
Panther immediately dished out an order to two other men in their van.
The two men immediately went into action as they slid open the van door and jumped out of the van.
“Kid, you better get lost now, or else you will be crippled!”
The two of them headed to in front of the van and saw a thin looking youngster there. They immediately
threatened him.
At first glance, these two were thinking that the driver was just exaggerating earlier on. If such a weak-
looking person could pin down a car and inhibit its movement, then they could probably stop a train or a
plane single-handedly.
However, the youngster looked like he hadn’t heard their words at all.
“Damn it, are you deaf? Get out of our way!” One of the men cursed loudly and launched a punch at
Jacob.
These moves were their usual moves when they got into a brawl.
However, to their surprise, this gangster found that he couldn’t move his hand anymore after launching
that punch.
To his surprise, his hand was caught easily by this feeble youngster with a thin figure.
There was a hint of astonishment in this gangster’s eyes. After that, a cruel smile formed at his lips.
He was going to decapitate this youngster here and now since he dared to grab his fist!
A grotesque smile flashed across the gangster’s face and then wanted to exert some strength through
his fist.
In the next second when he wanted to lash out with force, instead he felt a torrent of power rippling
through the air in his direction.
“Ah!” The gangster let out a shriek.
His scream was accompanied by a crackling sound that sounded like broken bones.
To his dismay, his fist which was directed at Jacob was crushed!
He could see that his hand was no longer a normal shape, as the bones underneath his skin were
obviously in tatters. His hand was crushed beyond saving.
The other gangster saw that something was going wrong, so he immediately wanted to help his
partner.
The next second, when he was rushing towards Jacob, he suddenly felt a huge impact landing on his
chest, and his chest was caved in for some reason. All his ribs were crushed in an instant.
“Ah!”
Another scream pierced through the air in front of the van.
This commotion had attracted some passers-by and they were now giving their attention on the turn of
events here.
Despite that, since the sky was turning dark and night was incoming, nobody wanted to involve
themselves with any unnecessary troubles. Although there were people screaming painfully, the
passers-by didn’t form a crowd near the source of the commotion. Instead, they chose to speed up
their pace and scurried off.
At the same time, Panther who was seated inside the van had completely seen what had transpired.
A glint of shock filled his eyes.
He wouldn’t be sure whether that young man had stopped their van from moving with his hand, but he
could see clearly that this person was not an ordinary man. He seemed to have good combat skills too,
as he was able to finish off his two underlings with just one move.
However, he was not nervous as this was something he himself would be able to do.
Whoever dared to stand against him was courting death.
Panther swiftly led the other remaining gangster out of the van to confront Jacob.
Since they were in the middle of a kidnapping, it was not beneficial for them in the slightest to stay any
longer in this spot.
“Kid, how dare you hurt my men? Do you know who are we?”
As a middle-level personnel belonging to the “Buddy League” that dominated the underground scene of
Riverside City, Panther had the ability to ward off ten opponents by himself.
“I don’t know who you guys are, and I don’t need to know anyway. In my eyes, you guys are as good as
dead!”
The young man with a slender figure spoke these words with bloodlust.
“Kid, it seems that you are even more reckless than me. I think you should die now!”
Panther showed a faint smile, and then he sprang towards Jacob. In mid-air, he careened towards
Jacob with his fist extended, aiming at Jacob’s skull. He wanted to finish this ordeal with one move.
Panther was indeed the leader of these gangsters here. His capability exceeded those previous
gangsters’ ability by a wide margin.
His speed was blinding.
His force was formidable too, and with his careening fist, the wind seemed to howl in the direction of his
punch too.
Panther was confident that with Jacob’s thin build, he could defeat twenty, no, thirty Jacobs at the same
time.
However, what happened next stunned him into a stupor state.
As he was suspended in mid-air before landing a blow on Jacob, the next second he was somehow
being flung away.
“Bang!”
Before he could even hit the ground, a spat of blood emerged from Panther’s mouth.
In a flash, that slender young man seemed to teleport to his side.
“You, you are Jacob!”
Panther was only able to identify this young man at that moment.
He had stolen a glimpse of Jacob’s face on a photograph and he knew that he was Kaley’s husband.
Jacob was his next target after they captured Kaley. They were planning to get to Jacob next as per
requested by their benefactor.
Yes, this person in front of him was none other than Jacob.
When Jacob arrived at the scene, he was able to get a glimpse of Panther kidnapping Kaley at the last
moment.
“Do you know what had become of that person who had tried to kidnap my woman?”
Jacob stared at Panther as he spoke with an extremely frosty voice. For Panther, it sounded like
Jacob’s voice was infused with ice, as he couldn’t help but shudder with his hair standing on end.
He subconsciously replied, “What had happened?”
“You can ask them in hell!”
Panther heard these words for the last time and a darkness swept over him subsequently.
…
…
In the North District of Riverside City, there were the Buddy League and its Eagle Branch!
The Eagle Branch’s influence mainly covered the streets lined with bars.
Their main hideout was located precisely inside one of the bars.
“Panther has been gone for too long. Why hasn’t he returned yet?”
In a private room on the second floor of the bar, there was an arrogant-looking youngster seated inside
with his arm wrapped around a fashionable woman with disorderly clothes.
Although he was fondling the woman in his arms, but by the look on his face, his thoughts were
somewhere else. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Ternence, according to schedule, I think they will return soon. In about ten minutes.”
A muscular hunk standing next to him immediately answered.
“Haha, Kaley is one of the four beauties in Riverside City. I can’t wait to get my hands on her!”
Ternence who was seated on a leather sofa was chuckling as he said this.
The woman in his arms retorted with a tinge of envy in her voice, “Ternence, I’m just right beside you,
but you’re thinking about another woman. Hmph, you’re really a player!”
Ternence let out a chuckle in response as he slapped the woman’s body, “As long as you stay obedient
to me, you can always stay by my side!”
At the mention of this, that woman in his embrace immediately nodded with satisfaction.
“I have to thank Kaley’s husband as well. If it were not for him who had made Channing lose face in
front of so many people, he would never issue such a high reward for me to kidnap Kaley. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t want to bear the risk of kidnapping Kaley, let alone getting my hands on her precious body.”
Ternence suddenly said as if he had remembered something.
Channing was one of the reason he could become the leader of Eagle Branch under the flag of Buddy
League.
A few years back, he was just an unimportant underling struggling to make his name in the lowest rung
of hierarchy.
Due to Channing’s sponsorship, he was able to pledge his loyalty and respect to their leader at that
time. His actions successfully made him a favourite of that leader, thus began his ascend to more
important roles within the organization.
In an altercation shortly after, that leader had passed away. He became the replacement in his position.
When he was in power, he proved to be useful to the Buddy League. His proudest accomplishment
was securing a whole street of bars for the Buddy League from other competitors. The leader of the
Buddy League then decided to make an exception for him by making him the leader of the Eagle
Branch, a newly formed subsidiary.
If it were not for his background, he wouldn’t lay his hands on a woman of Kaley’s calibre even if
Channing had offered him a lot of money.
After all, Kaley was no ordinary woman. If one were to lay his hands on her, there was bound to be
consequences.
As Ternence felt his patience gradually running out, there was finally some commotion near the
entrance of their hideout.
A huge man dressed in black was seen striding into the hideout.
Ternence could recognize him. He was one of Panther’s subordinates.
Ternence bounced up from his chair excitedly as he asked that man, “Where is Panther? Where is
Kaley now?”
In response to his question, that man remained silent, and his whole body was shivering.
“Kaley has gone back home to eat, and Panther is right here!”
At this time, a chilly voice sounded suddenly from behind that man who was dressed in black.
The next second, a figure flashed by and landed in front of Ternence.
Ternence focused his gaze on this figure lying on the ground and was able to identify him as his most
treasured subordinate, Panther.
However, he was in a terrible shape, and he had long taken his last breath!
