Chapter 2


    Being stared at like that made the hair stand on the back of Xavier’s neck.


    At that moment, he felt like he was under the gaze of an ancient demon, and all his blood instantly ran


    cold.


    He stiffened, mouth hanging open, and couldn’t get a word out.


    His instinct told him that Han was a tough guy.


    “Hell. Who is this guy? Why are his eyes giving me the creeps?” Xavier asked in his mind.


    He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at Han warily, not having the guts to provoke


    him again.


    “Gentlemen, please return to your seats.” A stewardess approached them.


    “Boy, for the sake of the stewardess, I’ll leave you alone for now. After the nends, you’ll be dead!”


    The stewardess’s appearance helped Xavier out. He shot a baleful re at Han and hurriedly left


    with his girlfriend.


    Two hourster, the nended at Lightdom Airport.


    Xavier took his girlfriend off the ne immediately. As he walked, he talked on his phone, “I need some


    muscle. Send thirty men to me and tell them not toe empty-handed.”


    A middle-aged man beside Han heard his words and said to Han worriedly, “Young man, you


    need to get away right now. The Lynch family is not to be trifled with.”


    “Oh, what do you know about them?” Han raised his eyebrow.


    “The Lynch family is big and has rtives in Lightdom Military Department. A rich guy was once at


    odds with Xavier because of a woman, and the guy’s whole family ended up being killed.


    “You pped him on the face just now. He wouldn’t let you get away with it.


    “So before his mene, leave from another exit.”


    The man talked hushedly and tried to persuade Han to escape.


    “Thank you.”


    Han gave the man a nod and continued, “You’re a good man. Thank you for your kind advice. I live


    in the slums in the Rune District of Lightdom City. If you get into trouble,e to me. I’ll help you


    out.”


    All the passengers in coach had seen him beat Xavier, but only this man came to warn him.


    His kindness touched Han.


    “My name is Yosef Zabel. It’s not the right time to brag, young man. Run for your life now,” the man said


    in a low voice.


    He didn’t see what a guy living in the slum areas could help him with and thought Han was bragging.


    “I like you. Keep my words in mind. Come to me if you get into trouble.”


    Han smiled and didn’t exin. He told Yosef to remember what he said and then got off the ne


    with his duffel bag.


    In the past eight years, he’d gone to many countries and even caused the downfall of some small


    countries.


    18-99


    The threat from the Lynch family was far from enough to unnerve him.


    “Hey, you! Stop right there!”


    When Han reached the airport exit, a roar was suddenly heard behind him.


    Xavier bolted toward Han with a bunch of bulky, scary-looking men. They surrounded Han and


    gazed at him provocatively.


    “What can I do for you?” Han asked, his gaze moving across their faces.


    “Boy, you can’t beat me and get away with it. Now, kneel and apologize to me. I mat their punches


    when they beat you upter.”


    let my men pull


    Face twisted with malice, Xavier added in a voice full of venom, “Otherwise, I’m going to kill you.”


    Once he finished his words, those heavyset men came closer to Han and towered over him with


    sullen looks.


    “On your knees!”


    They shouted, their voices deafening.


    Han’s eyes turned icy.


    Xavier hade back to take revenge on him.


    “Now you know you shouldn’t have messed with me. Drop on your knees now!” Xavier spat with a


    smug grin.


    p!


    Before Xavier finished his words, Han smacked him hard in the face. Xaviernded on his back five


    meters away, and blood spurted from his swollen mouth.


    “You talk too much,” Han said coldly.


    All the burly men around Han were shocked.


    None of them had expected Han to fight back when he was outnumbered.


    Xavier held his face in his hands and spat out a few broken teeth. Blood streamed down his mouth


    when he roared, “Boys, kill him! Kill him for me!”


    On his directive, thoserge men clenched their fists and charged at Han.


    Some took out the baseball bats they had brought and swung them at Han’s head.


    “You have no idea who you’re fighting with.”


    Han’s eyes turned even colder.


    Thumps were heard the next moment.


    He moved as fast as lightning and dodged those men’s blows, appearing behind their backs.


    The next second, those men all flew out like ragdolls and hit the ground hard, wailing in pain and


    unable to get on their feet again.


    “W-What the hell?” Xavier was dumbfounded by what he saw and sat on the ground agape.


    What happened just now was more like an illusion than reality to him.


    All he’d done was blink his eye once, and all his men flew out and fell to the ground like a sack of


    potatoes.


    “Being rich doesn’t mean you can’t pick fights with anyone you want.”

    Han nced at Xavier, picked up a baseball bat on the ground, and walked to him with a murderous


    look..


    Seeing Han approaching him, Xavier opened his eyes wide in horror and moved backward. “W-


    What do you want?” he shouted, trying not to sound terrified.


    Bang!


    Han hit Xavier’s head with the baseball bat and knocked him out.


    “You’re lucky we’re not on the battlefield, or you’d be a dead man now.”


    Han cast onest steely nce at Xavier, then picked up his duffle bag and left the airport.


    After Han left, Reign and her guards came out.


    She’d seen what had happened from afar and was again staggered by how powerful Han


    He’d taken down so many big guys within seconds.


    It was hard to imagine what else he was capable of.


    “Use all our resources to check his background.”


    Reign pensively stared after Han as he walked further and further.


    was.


    Since the narrow escape in the woods, Reign had considered hiring someone to protect her 24/7.


    It would be great if she could convince Han to be her personal bodyguard.


    Han headed directly to the Rune District of Lightdom City.


    He found where his house used to be from memory.


    This ce had changed a lot. With all those new tall buildings, he could barely recognize the old


    streets that led to his home.


    “With all the money I sent back every month, my parent must be living in a big mansion now,” he


    thought.


    As he walked, he imagined his family enjoying their lives in a big mansion and smiled uncontrobly.


    Before long, he reached where he used to live.


    It was a dpidated bungalow that had been built many, many years ago.


    When he arrived, a crowd was in front of the bungalow.


    Curses and screams interspersed with the sound of things being smashed greeted Han.


    “Charlie Jaber, you bloody old sod! Move out when I’m still willing to pay! Being a holdout won’t get you


    one extra dime! You want to y rough? Good. Let’s y rough!


    “Boys,e on in. Smash everything in this house!”


    That voice sounded furious and superior.


    “A holdout? Charlie Jaber?” Han repeated those words quietly.


    Then his expression changed. That was his father’s name!


    He weaved through the crowd and got to the front. What he saw was like a punch to his chest.


    His parents, whom he hadn’t met in years, were now pressed to the ground and beaten by a few fat


    guys.


    Both of his parents were in their fifties and had grizzled hair. d in rags, they were too weak to fight


    back when those men kicked and punched them.


    Charlie’s head was already broken and bleeding. He looked helpless but still tried to shield Han’s


    mother behind him.


    Han’s mother, Felicia Jaber, had footprints on her cheeks and body, and blood was oozing from her


    lips.


    Both of them had been beaten ck and blue.


    Boom!


    Seeing that was like being daggered in the heart, and something inside Han snapped.


    A wave of icy anger swept over him and made his eyes bloodshot.


    Fury heated his blood, and the wrath that twisted his face was world-ending.


    They are my parents. How could anyone do anything to harm the people I care so much about?” he


    bellowed inside.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    At this moment, a guy raised the steel pipe in his hand and brought it down at Charlie’s head.


    “Stop!”


    Before it was toote. Han grabbed the guy’s wrist, stopping the sweeping pipe in the air.


    “Back off! Who the hell are you? Back off before I beat you to a pulp too!” The guy snapped and looked


    daggers at Han.


    Your name is Sam?” Han looked at him with red eyes.


    The killing intent in them sent a prickle of fear down Sam’s spine.


    But he didn’t let on, given that his underlings were all looking at them. Instead, he held Han’s and


    demanded. ‘Sam. Now what? Are you going to let go or not?”


    Han locked Sam in his icy gaze and tightened his grip.


    Crack!


    gaze


    The sound of bones being cracked was heard. Sam’s wrist bone was shattered, and the steel pipe fell


    to the ground.


    “Ahhhhhh!”


    A sharp pain shot up Sam’s arm to his brain, and he uttered a piercing cry.
