Chapter 246
Bruno’s lackeys stood bewildered.
Groaning from the ground, Bruno barked, “What are you all standing there for? Didn’t you see me get hit?”
His lackeys exchanged nervous glances.
One of them stammered, “Boss, that guy seems pretty skilled…”
“Skilled, my ass! There are so many of us. Are you guys afraid of one guy?” the man shouted angrily.
Francis stood protectively in front of Carlisle.
“You guys get in the car. I’ll deal with these punks.”
a car.
“Be careful,” Carlisle urged as he shielded Wanda and helped her into the
He climbed in after her.
Emboldened by their numbers, Bruno’s lackeys raised their baseball bats and charged at Francis.
“Stop!”
Wade appeared with over 30 men, surrounding the attackers.
Bruno’s subordinates froze.
They wondered who the other men were.
Wade’s men were a uniformly imposing crew, clad in black vests with muscles bulging and tattoos peeking out. Some even carried wrapped weapons.
Bruno was stunned.
He wondered what was going on. He thought Wade and his men were supposed to be at the dock.
He didn’t know that Wade was there to support Carlisle.
About three hours earlier, Bruno had received a call from his mother, saying she had been bullied at the park. He immediately gathered his gang and rushed over.
Initially, he planned to head straight to Yearning Island to confront the guy who’d bullied his mom. But a bald guy with a crew of tough–looking men had shown up first.
His small–time crew couldn’t compare to the gang of really tough guys.
Bruno and his gang fled before the bald guy’s crew even arrived to avoid a confrontation.
Determined not to let the incident go, he had waited outside the park for the couple his mother had described.
When he spotted them, he Immediately surrounded them with his gang!
He hadn’t expected the guy’s driver to be a martial artist.
However, he didn’t think it was a significant issue. After all, weapons trump martial arts.
Despite his confidence in numbers, he hadn’t anticipated these tough guys intervening in his business.
Bruno shakily rose to his feet.
“Excuse me, sir. Who do you work for?”
He was answered with a swift slap.
Blood instantly poured from his nose and mouth. His head buzzed, and his ears rang. He suspected his eardrum had been ruptured.
Wade said calmly, “Listen up! I roll with lan Carlson.”
Bruno squinted.
“Well, go back and tell lan Carlson that he’s made an enemy of me.”
Wade delivered a swift kick, knocking Bruno to the ground.
He sneered, “We already have plenty of enemies. Who the hell do you think you are?”
Brunos‘ lackeys trembled in fear.
They thought Wade and his men were ruthless and wondered if they were even human.
Wade walked over to the car with a smile. He then knocked on the window.
Carlisle rolled down the window and said, “Thanks.”
Wade glanced at Wanda in Carlisle’s arms. A wide smile grew on his face.
“No problem.”
Carlisle then rolled the window back up, respecting Wanda’s wish to keep some distance.
Wade approached Francis, squinting as he said, “Your legwork is impressive. How about a sparring match
sometime?”
Francis glanced at Wade nonchalantly and said, “I didn’t learn martial arts to show off.”
