Chapter 354 Old Snake's Revenge

Chapter 354 Old Snake's Revenge　　━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When Alexander had instructed him to turn the car around and leave, Jake naturally hadn't dared to stay a moment longer. After all, the way those two old men fought made it clear enough that they weren't ordinary people, and any normal person's first subconscious response would be to run away.

Of course, after pulling some distance from the fight, his mind finally calmed down as the blond boy came back to his senses, only to be left stunned.

"W-Wait, what about the old man? S-Should we call the police?!"

Alexander snorted. "No need. If he's not even capable of dealing with an old man, I have no need for him anyway."

The face of his 'friend' in the rearview mirror didn't look worried or disturbed at all, and there was only a faint hint of disdain in his eyes.

Jake didn't really know who the old man they had met really was, nor did he know the relationship between them, but he still found it hard to believe how uncaring his friend was to someone he had personally picked up from the airport just now.

Even if it was only an acquaintance, how can one treat them so coldly, not even caring for their life and death?

Thinking about how he used to call him 'big bro' almost made him feel sick. Would he also be abandoned just like that once he stopped being useful? No, wasn't he no better than only a half-decent tool person now?

His firm belief in Alexander seemed to have been shaken more and more recently, and the thought of untying himself from this 'sinking ship' that he had so firmly believed in before kept becoming stronger and stronger. But then, what can someone like him even do?

Regardless of the turmoil in his heart, Jake could only grimly stare ahead and keep driving, his speed subconsciously slowing down.

Unfortunately, while Alexander was still wondering how he should complain to his mother about the 'incompetence' of the man she sent over to help him and Jake was still thinking of a way out for himself, the car suddenly seemed to go out of control as they heard a thunderous boom from its rear end.

"FUCK!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Swiveling from side to side in a panic, Jake barely managed to avoid hitting a parked van in the street before coming to a halt not even an inch away from a solid brick wall.

Jake stumbled out of the car in a daze, his forehead covered in a cold sweat as he turned around to inspect why he had almost lost his life, and a furious Alexander followed him out as well.

"Did you not fucking check the air pressure in the tires, Jake? How can you be such an—!"

Although he had been subconsciously ignoring the complaints of his 'friend' as he looked at the blown-out tire, he still couldn't help but turn back when Alexander stopped mid-sentence, and a strange thudding sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind him.

Unfortunately, before he could really see what was going on, pain exploded from the back of his neck, and the world turned dark.

The two middle-aged men from the Martial Arts Alliance stared at the fainted men on the ground, turned back to each other, and then stared at the fallen men again.

"I didn't expect that they would almost kill themselves when I blew out one of their tires."

"Well… if we don't tell anyone, no one will know."

Thinking about it again, even if the Gray Wolfe or the Nightingale clan was going to look for revenge, they would still be pretty far down the list. Since Lord Brown didn't fear them, why should they?

Dragging the two fainted men by their shoulders, they threw them into a dark alley and waited for the others to appear.

Not long later, Lord Brown as well as the other members of the Martial Arts Alliance finally arrived with the Old Snake in tow.

Looking at the person he was responsible for protecting being caught like that, the injured man's expression turned even uglier than before.

He had already had some time to think about what had happened before, and realized that he had been 'abandoned' by the 'young master'.

If Alexander hadn't known who he was or what he was capable of, maybe his behavior could still be excused, but that clearly hadn't been the case, and the Old Snake couldn't make himself believe it no matter how he tried to convince himself so.

Thinking about he would at least be able to retreat safely had it not been for this man's stupidity made him grit his teeth with his hatred, and the fact that he still had no choice but to 'protect' him made his fists itch with the urge to beat the man to death.

Grandpa Brown chuckled when he looked at his reaction. "You know what? I don't really care about this guy here, to be honest. Maybe if you amuse me by beating him up, I'll let him go?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Naturally, grandpa Brown wasn't actually stupid enough to kill the heir of the Gray Wolfe just like that. If there was even the slightest bit of truth in the Old Snake's words, neither he nor his granddaughter would be able to bear the consequences of the man's death.

Even if his granddaughter-in-law assisted them, it might still lead to some serious repercussions. Compared to Old Snake, who was just an 'extremely useful disposable pawn' to the Gray Wolfe, Alexander's identity was at an entirely different level, after all.

Of course, he still couldn't let them go unscathed. Not only did this man dare to set his sight on his granddaughter-in-law, but he had obviously been planning something nefarious by calling the old snake over to this country!

Without knowing his identity, grandpa Brown had previously placed the blame on the Nightingale clan for plotting against the girl, but now that he knew this man could be the heir of the Gray Wolfe, wasn't it clear enough that it must be his dirty mind at work?

The Old Snake had already suffered a lot because of Alexander, and his heart had been itching from both hatred and frustration after being humiliated over and over again.

Although the old man Brown was also a target of his hatred, there was currently nothing he could do about him at all in this condition, after all.

After negotiating and pretending to beg for mercy for his 'young master', the old snake quickly dragged his crippled self over to the fainted boy in the dark corner before starting to rain down punches on his face with hatred.

The pain immediately awakened the dark-haired man, but before he could even squawk a single word of indignation, another fist to his mouth left him completely stunned.

"Y-You—AAHH!"

Alexander's shock and disbelief when he looked at the Old Snake's hideous face in front of him quickly turned to horror as he realized that he might just get beaten to death today.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to run away, he couldn't move his arms and legs at all, and could only stare ahead helplessly as his face was pummelled over and over again.

Naturally, the old snake wouldn't let Alexander run around, or else how was he supposed to catch up with his now crippled legs? Those old bastards would only take the opportunity to mock him further if that happened!

A few precise strikes to certain nerves was all it took to render a regular man like Alexander completely helpless, and the Old Snake happily vented all his frustrations on the 'young master', who was, in his heart, the culprit responsible for everything that happened today.

Even though he hadn't always lived as the true heir of the Gray Wolfe, when had Alexander ever had to endure such humiliation? Not even his mother and father had dared to touch a hair on his head since the day he was born!

It didn't take long for him to faint from the overwhelming fear, rage, and humiliation, but that didn't stop the fists from raining down on his face.

"Forgive me, young master, but I must do this to ensure your safety! These bastards are just too ruthless!"

Of course, the old snake still controlled his strength very well, and aside from making Alexander's previously handsome face turn into a fat purple pig's, there was no other 'damage'.

The other members of the Martial Arts Alliance stared at each other, dumbfounded.

Although it had been Lord Brown who captured him and ordered the old snake to beat the heir of the Gray Wolfe, why did it look like this bastard was only using them as an excuse?!
