Winter frowned and suddenly swung her arm, pping away Jackie’s hand.


    “Oh, there’s the fire!” Jackie smiled despite himself.


    Still, before he reached out to grab Winter again, Fred rose to his feet andughed out loud.


    Gentleman–don’t get upset with my sister. She’s young, so she can be feisty.”


    “Who the hell said you could talk? Buzz off!” Jackie bellowed, and shoved him aside.


    “Stop! Please, Mr. Compton! We’ll pay, alright?” Carol really did not want trouble and took another


    thousand from the desk.


    However, Jackie had no intention to stop and reached for Winter again, but Fred stood between them


    once more. “We’re giving you the money, man–please stop.”


    Smack!


    Jackie smacked him across the face, leaving him stunned.


    “Fred!” Winter cried and hurried to his side to help him up.


    Fred shot her a re right then. “Stay back.”


    Around them, the diner customers all hurried away, knowing that something bad was about to happen.


    Fred was about to talk, but one of Jackie’s goons kicked him in the face.


    “Shut it, and get down on your knees.”


    Fred gritted his teeth and sat up. “Let’s talk about this…”


    “Who told you to get up? Get on your knees, you hear?” Jackie growled.


    Fred did a double take–he thought it was a joke, but it turned out that they were serious.


    “M–Mr. Compton… Just tell us how much you want,” Carol cried miserably her heart could not take


    watching her own son being humiliated like that.


    “Your son’s too unruly, ma’am. The fact I’m not hitting him is letting him off easy.” Jackie snorted


    unreasonably.


    Winter had had enough right then and snapped, “You don’t get to tell Fred to kneel! This is our diner–


    get out!”


    “You bitch! Don’t push me!” Jackie bellowed, not expecting Winter to snap at him.


    He seized her by the hair right then, and Winter cried out in pain!


    “Stop! Just stop! I’ll kneel, okay?! Isn’t that enough?!” Fred did not hesitate to kneel as soon. as he saw


    his sister get hurt.


    “Stop! Don’t kneel! You don’t have to kneel to them!” Winter cried despite the pain. However, there was


    nothing Fred could do aside from kneel despite his grievances. Carol was left hanging her head


    helplessly, her tears quietly rolling down her cheeks.


    Frank, Yara, and Vicky were all left speechless as they watched from their corner.


    They did not expect Fred to just go down his knees without a fight!


    “Hah! Girlie, what I say goes in this street,” Jackie snorted smugly just then. “You want your brother to


    get up? Beg properly!”


    Frank’s eves narrowed murderously. Those thugs were out of line!


    “Is this street yours?” he demanded. “Who do you think you are?!”

    to stay.


    Jackie turned toward Frank in surprise, not expecting anyone


    “Who the hell are you?” he asked.


    Vicky rose to her feet. “The people who are going to beat you up.”


    Jackie studied Yara and Vicky just then, surprised that Frank was nked by such beautiful


    Women.


    “You’re amazing, kiddo–having thosedies all to yourself.” He chuckled. “Give them to me, and I’ll let


    you live!”
