Security in the ck market was strict. Every person who entered had to be searched for weapons or anything dangerous-the ce’s safety was too sensitive.
After Jensen and Hansel were checked, Hansel pointed down a narrow street. “Mr. Luke, they say Miss Natalie’s ashes were seen inside a shop at the far end of this street.”
“Go! Take me there!”
The moment Jensen heard a lead on Natalie’s ashes, he strode off quickly toward the street.
But he hadn’t gone far when a bup sack dropped from above, yanking tight around him. <fn40a3> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on FιndＮovel</fn40a3>
Before he could react, a storm of fists and boots rained down, pounding him from every direction.
“Ah! Who-who’s hitting me?”
Jensen fought to break free, but every move only made the blows harsher.
At some point, the whole street had been cleared. Hansel was seized too, gagged and blindfolded, dragged away by force.
Baron’s eyes glinted coldly in the shadows.
He’d grown up in the slums, thrown into the streets while still a boy. By the time he was a teenager, he was running with gangs. He knew exactly where to hit a man so the pain cut deep without leaving permanent damage.
Truthfully, his first instinct was to end Jensen here and now with a single strike.
This was the man who broke Natalie’s heart, who left her for dead in the fire. Even killing him ten thousand times would never be enough to settle that score.
But Baron knew-both Jensen and Sharon had to be dealt with by Natalie herself. Her own revenge, by her own hands.
Still, that didn’t stop him from collecting some interest in advance.
He didn’t hold back. Each punchnded heavy, each kick sharp. Jensen cursed through gritted teeth, his cries turning hoarse.
In all his life, Jensen had never been beaten like this.
“Coward! If you’ve got any guts, let me out and fight me one-on-one!” His voice cracked as he shouted from inside
the sack.
Baron gave a sharpugh and answered through a voice changer. “Fight you? You’ve watched too many TV dramas. If I’m here to take you down, why would I let you out? Idiot.”

Thest word was crude, totally unfitting for someone as poised as Baron. But right now, nothing fit better.
Jensen had tried to bait his attacker into speaking, hoping to recognize the voice. But the use of a voice changer dashed that hope.
“Who the hell are you? Do you dare give me your name? Only cowards hide like this.”
“Oh sure, you’ve got the high ground. You’ve got it all-ying both sides, milking Natalie’s designs for your fortune, while smiling and signing a marriage license with your crush. Sweet as honey. And when Natalie wasn’t useful anymore? You burned her alive, left her with no remains. Who could possibly stand taller than you?”
Baron’s fury mounted with every word.
How blind Natalie must have been, to ever love this man.
Jensen froze, startled by how much the stranger seemed to know. “Who are you? What’s your connection to Natalie? Are her ashes with you?”
He hade here for one reason: to find Natalie’s ashes. And this man spoke like he knew everything.
Jensen thrashed inside the sack, struggling with desperate force.
For a moment, his strength even pressed back against his attackers.
Baron’s eyes narrowed, then he drove a fist into Jensen’s skull.
A dull crack sounded. Jensen gave a low groan, then copsed, unconscious.
Baron yanked the sack off, crouching over him. Jensen’s body was covered in bruises, blue and purple blotches everywhere. Finally, the sight was bearable.
His gaze dropped to Jensen’s wrist.
There, gleaming in the light, was a pair of uniquely designed cufflinks.
“My things…on you?”
Baron sneered, ripped them off, and without hesitation clipped them onto his own sleeves. Disgust tugged at him, but they were Natalie’s creation. He couldn’t let them remain in Jensen’s hands.
“They do look good. Natalie always had an eye.”
He pressed his lips together, gave Jensen onest kick, and stood.
He had thought of leaving a permanent mark on Jensen, maybe taking a piece of him as a souvenir. But for Natalie’s sake, he restrained himself.
The final blow had toe from her. Only then would it be true vengeance.

Momentster, Hansel was released. He rushed to the street and found Jensen sprawled out, unconscious, beaten to a pulp. His face and body were swollen with bruises, his lips split.
Hansel stood frozen, half in disbelief, half resigned.
Should he even wake him?
He hesitated for three seconds, then finally crouched down and shook him awake.
Jensen stirred, every breath raw with pain. “Did you…see who it was?” His jaw ached with every word.
