Female Novel
Chapter 25
Richard gave Thomas a long, thoughtful stare. Earlier on, Richard had studied the brooch that wasstabbed into Olivia’s acupuncture point. Everything that Thomas did—from the accuracy he had to thestrength he applied—was near-perfect. Furthermore, what shocked Richard the most was the angle atwhich Thomas had inserted the brooch. He had inserted it at a diagonal angle that allowed him totarget two acupuncture points, which subsequently allowed him to stop the bleeding.
Judging by Thomas’ skills, he knew more than just one or two acupuncture points that helped to stopthe bleeding. What puzzled Richard the most was how the young man before his eyes had minimizedall his hard work when he had an obvious opportunity to take credit for whatever he did. “What’s goingon here, Richard?” Norman asked.
“You need to thank this man. Olivia’s wound from the dagger had been really deep. If this young manhadn’t managed to stop her bleeding with the brooch, I’m afraid she might have lost too much bloodbefore she even got to the hospital,” Richard explained.
“Ah! Well…” Norman was dumbfounded for a moment. So, Thomas isn’t the killer who hurt Olivia…He’s her savior! I got it wrong all along! I can’t believe we created such a huge fuss! Norman’s cheekswere flushed with embarrassment. This was the largest misunderstanding he had ever made in his 50years of living.
After Thomas made sure that Olivia was well and healthy, he stood up to leave without saying muchelse. When he got to the ground floor of the hospital, he found Sean waiting for him in the car. “Did thatold man, Norman, cause you any trouble, Thomas?” Sean had already given his father, MichaelMorton, a call beforehand. Are you trying to assert dominance over me just with the use of your oldage, Norman? You didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself, huh? Well, I’ll get my father to comeover. Let’s see what you say then! Sean was angry just at the thought of what had happened in front ofthe emergency room earlier. He was furious—Norman was clearly bullying him!
“Don’t worry. It’s fine!” Thomas waved it off. However, Sean still seemed rather worried about thematter. He got out of the car and circled around Thomas to make sure that Thomas wasn’t injuredbefore he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Sean pulled his phone out and gave his father a call to tell hisfather that things were under control and that he no longer needed to come.
As Thomas saw this happening, he felt a surge of warmth in his chest. It seems like this guy did morethan just sit around and wait for me, huh? He tried asking for backup, and he even approached hisfather for my sake. He was willing to risk his family’s reputation to fight for me! He’s truly my brotherfrom another mother!
After both of them got in the car, Sean handed Thomas a cigarette before lighting it up for him. “Whereshould we go now, Thomas?”
Thomas’ eyes glinted icily as he took a look at the clock. “Let’s head back to Haven for now,” heordered. After what happened with Nate, Thomas felt like he had learned a new lesson. Wheneversomeone doesn’t know their limits and crosses their boundaries, I have to do something that scaresthem. It’s like how one would have to kick a dog when it’s charging at you, just to teach it not to bite youthe next time!
It was evident that Thomas had been too nice to Nate in the past—the worst thing he had ever donewas just to break Nate’s fingers. That might have been a good-enough lesson for any other person, butit wasn’t threatening enough for a man like Nate, who had seen so much of the world. So, this time,Thomas wanted Nate to be thoroughly terrified!
Soon enough, they arrived at Haven Resort & Spa. William was already waiting for them at the frontentrance. “Where’s he?” Thomas asked.
“I’ve sent all of Nate’s men to the station, and I’m sure the police will have their fun with them. Nate, onthe other hand, is locked in a room. I’ve told my men to teach him a lesson.” William wasn’t pleased by
the situation. He had waited for a long while just for Thomas to be back from the military, and he hadintended to host a meal for Thomas at his very own hotel. I can’t believe Nate, that annoying pest,showed up and ruined my plans! He deserves to suffer! How dare he mess with Thomas on mygrounds?! He’s killing my vibe!
William brought Thomas and Sean over to a private room. They walked in to find Nate with his wristssecured firmly onto a chair with some thick hemp ropes. Nate’s face looked badly beaten up. It was justas William had said—William’s men had already taught Nate a lesson, and it seemed like they hadtaught him a pretty severe lesson…
“Who are you staring at, f*cker?!” William lost his temper when he saw Nate glaring at Thomas. Hestepped forward to give Nate a tight slap. Meanwhile, Thomas dragged a chair over to sit down in frontof Nate. “I beat up one of your men, Wallace, because he deserved it. He said the wrong things. You,on the other hand…” Thomas took a glance at Nate’s hands. “I broke your fingers the last time, but itseems like that wasn’t enough! I can’t believe you’re challenging me again!”
“F*ck! You b*stard! If you’re that brave, why don’t you set me free?! I swear to God, I’m going to makeyou pay for this!” Nate shouted. At this point, Nate figured that he wasn’t going to play nice any longer.There’s no point in lowering my voice, anyway. I might as well be firm with my stance. Maybe I couldscare them into setting me free, right?
Clearly, Nate was too innocent for his own good. He treated Droycore’s King of Marksmen as a regularperson, and he thought that he could use his thug ways to scare Thomas. If any other gangs had heardabout this matter, they would have fallen to the ground from laughing too hard! “You imbecile! How dareyou threaten Thomas?!” Both Sean and William were hot-tempered men, and they were even angrierafter hearing what Nate said. Do you think Haven is your house? How dare you treat us like thin air?!You must have a death wish!novelbin
“Don’t move.” Thomas held his arm out to hold William and Sean back. Then, he pulled a cigarette outfrom his pocket and placed it between Nate’s lips before lighting it up. All of a sudden, Nate startedlaughing in Thomas’ face. It was a loud, hearty laugh. I was right. My plan worked! I managed to scarehim, didn’t I? Why else would he give me a cigarette? It’s great that he feels threatened. That meanshe’ll let me go! I won’t forget this man’s face, and I’m going to gather more of my men to attack yousomeday. I’d like to see how arrogant you can get when that happens!
“You should set me free now, young man. I won’t kill you since you gave me a cigarette. At most, Imight set you free after paralyzing your limbs. If you don’t let me go now, I’m going to make sure youwatch while that sister of yours gets raped by all of my men!” Just the thought of Chloe made Nateexcited. She’s such a gorgeous young lady. She’s both innocent and pretty! Just the thought of havingher in bed makes me aroused. Well, after I recover from my injuries, I’m going to hunt her down. I needto have some fun with her!
Thomas frowned upon hearing Nate’s words. A threatening aura filled the air without any warning, andeven William and Sean staggered backward without them realizing it. Every individual had sensitivespots that would trigger their temper. For Thomas, his sensitive spot was none other than his sister,Chloe!
Thomas shot to his feet before sending a powerful punch directly toward Nate’s face!
