    think aboutying a finger on me, the consequences will be uvere. The man backing me will ensure


    that you suffer Suranne said, her tone revolute and unwavering


    As Han’s cold gaze bore down on her, Suranne’s hair stood on end. Her voice trembled as she


    spoke. “Listen carefully. My backer is Hugh Croydon one of Lightdom City’s Four Kings. And if you


    even think aboutying a hand on me, Mr.


    Croydon ensure you regret it”


    Before Suranne could finish her we mouth. She crumpled to the ground


    Han had struck her across the face, causing blood to gush from her nose and a pitiful state


    Suranne was stunned by the blow and could hardly believe what had just happened. She covered her


    face and looked up at Han in disbelief. You you dare to hit me?” she said, her voice quivering with


    anger and shock


    She had already mentioned the name of the Four Kings, so was difficul to understand how Hayian


    could still have the courage to strike her.


    “You speak with


    hinking, so you deserve to be pped. This p is to teach you a lesson. If you dare to gossip again. 1


    Han warned.


    Lke sure you regret


    His cold gaze remained fixed on Surrane as he spoke. “Apologize to my ssmate immediately!”


    Han had been curious about


    even more tunous!


    juranne’s backer was. To his surprise, it turned out to be Hugh Croydon, which made


    Hugh had not only allowed his nephew to bully Noah and Perry, but now even his mistress hade to


    mock Mia. This wi an unwee development for Han, and Su had to face the consequences of her

    “Alright, alright, alright How dare you hit me? You just made the biggest mistake of your life 1 will inform


    Mr. Croydon of this immediately and I guarantee that you will regret this Suranne roared her fear


    dissipating as anger took over.


    Without hesitation, she grabbed her mobile phone and dialled Hugh’s number. Sobbing, she pleaded


    pitifully. “Mr. Croydon Ive been pped. You have toe and save me, please.”


    Then the shared her address with hi


    “Bastard, who dares to be so arrogant? Have you not mention my name?” Hugh’s voice boomed


    through the phone.


    Mr. Croydon, he doesn’t care about you at all.” Suranne wailed tears flowing freely “He even called you


    a piece of dogshit. and said he d sap you if you were here Her words were like gasoline on a me,


    fueling the fire of her anger toward Han


    and painting hur as an arrogant and wiew man.


    “He


    are he


    about me like that, you bastard He is ying with fire!” Hugh spat out the words with a hateful tone.


    “My darling just wait. I’ll have someone teach him a lesson right away” Hugh’s voice seethed with


    anger. He continued to roar before abruptly hanging up the phone.


    After the call, Suranne seethed as she turned to Han, her anger palpable. “What’s your name, kid?”


    she demanded. “As I aid before, you’re as good as dead.


    “Mr Croydon will have someone slice you into pieces.


    “Be sensible and kneel before me along with that bitch. Mia. Apologize, and I will consider sparing your


    life.


    Han interrupted Suranne’s threats,unching a vicious kick that left her unrecognizable on the


    ground,pletely


    unconscious.


    “Hugh Croydon. right” Han spoke with a cold detachment. Tll be waiting for him.”


    Han had sent a chilling message to Hugh, using the corpses of Timmy and his peers as a macabre


    deration of war.


    Despite that. Hugh had yet to take action. Now that he had met Hugh’s mistress. Han eagerly


    awaited Hugh’s arrival and could not wait to confront him.


    With Suranne taken care of Han returned to his seat and turned to Mia. “I apologize, but that woman


    was too stubborn.” he said, has voice tinged with regret. “At least I could help you vent your anger this


    much.”


    Mia’s eyes widened in shock as she surveyed the scene, taking in Trevor and Suranne, along with the


    others whoy on the ground, unconscious. She couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed and


    silently gasped, “Is Han this formidable”

    However, her expression changed drastically She grasped Han’s hand and implored. “Han, we


    must get out of here. You’re in big trouble. If we don’t leave now, it ll be toote when Hugh arrive


    Although she was a celebrity who had been away from Lightdom City for a long time. Mia had recently


    returned to the cary


    to tim


    However. Mia knew of Lightlon City’s infamous “Four Kings”, and the mere thought of them sent shivers


    down her spine. Among them was a particrly fearsome figure known for his ruthless and cruel ways.


    He was a Duke with ambitions that extended far beyond has territory


    Han’s pping Suramme’sce was tantamount to pping Hugh’s face.


    The thought of High’s miminent arrival filled Mia with dread. The mere idea of facing him was


    unimaginable.


    “Mami, no need to be so nervous. We’re just waiting for Hugh Han said calmly.


    Tub” Mi said, stummed


    “There will definitely be a battle between me and Hugh Croydon.” Han said.


    “Why? How did you provoke Hugh Mia asked in a panic.


    Han’s previous feud with Maxwell was enough to cause trouble, and now Han had crossed paths


    with Hugh. However, at didn’t matter who the enemy was, as the consequences were bound to be


    severe for Han.


    Mia knew that if it was Maxwell whom Han had offended, she could have arranged a banquet to


    smooth things over. With her connections and charm, she believed she could convince Maxwell to


    forgive Han and avoid further confrontation.


    However, with Han offending Hugh, Mia had no solution.


    Because of me and Noali sand


    “Because Hugh has done something that I camont forgive. He has to pay the price. Han said coldly,


    interrupting Noah.


    Han Jaber’s voice wasced with a chilling aura, which filled the air with an overwhelming sense of


    menace, causing the temperature in the surrounding area to drop sinddenly His entire body emanated


    a terrifying killing intent as he spoke, and The murderous aura swept arross the whole ce like an


    ocean


    The boss of the barbecue stall, who was about to approach Han to settle scores, was frozen in the


    spot by the


    overwhelming murderous aura emanating from Han. It was as if he had stepped into an icehouse,


    causing him to tremble m fear and eyes to widen in


    The intense pressure emanating from Han’s killing intent was tangible, causing the hairs on the back


    of everyone’s neck. to stand on end and a sharp, almost physical pain to shoot through their skin like a


    de.


    At this moment, everyone in the barbecue stall looked at Han with fear and panic.


    Mia, like everyone else, gazed at Han with a mixture of surprise and admiration. She could not help


    but notice how much he had grown since she met him right years ago. His firm jawline and icy, self-


    assured gaze exuded an irresistible charm, causing her heart to r.


    Han retracted his overwhelming aura and said. “There’s no need to be afrail. As long as I’m here,


    Hugh won’t be able to cause any trouble. Just continue eating your barbecue and wait for his arrival”


    The patrons of the grill house finally breathed a collective sigh of relief. Beads of sweat were visible on


    many foreheads, and some were even panting from the intensity of the moment.


    The owner of the barbecue stall nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead and approached Han.


    In a trembling voice, he begged, “Boss, 1 beg of you. Please leave quickly Our small shop cannot


    withstand your presence


    Suppose it would have been fine if it was just a normal fight. But, the thought of facing a powerful figure


    like Hugh was an entirely different matter


    If thetter happened, the stall owner knew he would not have the means to recover from the loss.


    Morrover, Han Jaber was no ordinary man. Despite his ins attire, his exceptional strength and


    skill allowed him to defeat a horde of experts in mere seconds. Clearly, he did not consider Hugh a


    threat at all


    If Hugh and Han were to sh at the barbecue stall, there was no doubt that the stall would be


    utterly destroyed.


    “Boss, 1 understand your fears and desire to drive me away for peace. But have you considered what


    he would do to you if 1 am not here when his associates came over Han calmly replied.


    As the owner of the barbecue stall heard Han Jaber’s words, his expression contorted into an ugly


    grimace. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead, indicating his mounting anxiety.


    He thought. “If Hugh came over and saw that Han had left, wouldn’t he unleash his anger on my grill


    house?”


    Han maintained a calm expression as he casually picked up a rotisserie chicken from the table and


    took a bite. He followed it with a sip of beer, exuding confidence as he assured the owner, “Boss,


    there’s no need to worry. I’ll take full responsibility for any losses incurred today.


    “Just focus on running your business. Keep the music ying and the dancing going. Just make sure


    to serve me plenty of wine and barbecue, Han Jaber said with a hint of authority. they won’t be able


    to stir up any trouble.”
