The puddle was already over a dozen meters behind them. However, Fane’s kick was extraordinarily powerful. He managed to send him flying, finally landing in that puddle.Young Master Hugo’s floral shirt was then drenched by the muddy water. “Y-y-you dare to hit Young Master Hugo? Are you looking for death?”The woman was terrified, immediately backing away as she pointed at Fane.Fane maintained emotionless, staring straight at her. “Do you want me to take action, or will you voluntarily roll in that puddle over there?”“D-d-don’t hit me…”The woman was scared witless by Fane’s gaze. It was the gaze of someone that survived countless bloodbaths. After saying that, she quickly ran over and started rolling in the puddle. Her skirt was already very short. After it got wet, her body shape was all the more revealing.“Brat, y-y-you just wait!”Young Master Hugo was boiling with rage. He stood up, then spat out a mouthful of blood. The skin on his arm tore and was bleeding. Even his shirt
“Demolish? If that’s the case, shouldn’t we get a bit of compensation?”Fane was distracted for a moment, then followed Selena into the house.At that moment, the living room was very lively. There were a number of workers that were talking to Fiona and Andrew.“Oh my, Selena, what happened to both of you? Why are you covered in dirt?”Seeing Selena and Fane, Joan was shocked, asking quickly.“Ugh, we passed by a puddle earlier and a car did not slow down...so we got splashed!”Selena stuttered with a frown. She was too ashamed to say it. If her mother knew that they offended the terrible Hugo family, how would she react?“Oh my, so this is Miss Taylor!”A middle-aged man stood up cheerfully, then explained, “I’m the worker in charge. It’s like this. This location is being expropriated as it is rather peaceful here. We’re planning to build a retirement home, therefore this house must be demolished!”“Retirement home?”Selena frowned.“That’s right. You can treat it as a contribution to
“Furthermore, we have received complaints that this courtyard was built illegally, do you understand? You’re already lucky that you’re not getting fined. We’re just negotiating to have you move away voluntarily. What makes you think there will be any compensation?”The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, but his words immediately turned the rest and Fiona’s mood foul. This demolition had no compensation?“Impossible. This is our Taylor family’s old mansion. It’s been left uninhabited for many years. My grandfather was the one that told us to stay here. At any rate, there should be a demolition compensation. How is this an illegal building? We’ve been staying here for so many years!”Selena was furious. Her original plan was to come home for a bath, but she was in no mood for that for the time being. The other party was just being unreasonable.“I think the money is there, but you’re just planning to keep it for yourself, right? Hehe, do you know that we’re from the Taylor family?
“Oh my, Young Master Clark, why are you here? It’s been a long time!”Upon seeing Ken with his lackeys, Fiona immediately welcomed them cheerfully.“Hehe, Auntie, it’s not that long. We’ve just met two days ago!”Ken chuckled, then pointed at his teeth. “Look, I’m whistling as I speak. It’s all because of your precious son-in-law!”Fiona’s expression immediately turned awkward. She forced a smile and replied, “Watch what you’re saying. This man is not my son-in-law. We will only find out after the old man’s seventieth birthday in about twenty more days!”Ken was taken aback, his face was filled with surprise. “Auntie, what do you mean by that? They’re already legally married and the kid is a few years old. Why do we need to wait for about 20 more days to find out?”“Yes yes yes!”Fiona immediately nodded. “It’s like this. Let’s not mention the matters back then. It’s like this. After Fane came back, he got into a fight with Young Master Ivan and beat him up.”“After that...that’s why,
Fiona gave it some thought, then finally approached Selena. “Dear, Young Master Clark said that he would like to discuss the matter of this house with you. Go ahead and negotiate with him. This house must not be demolished. If it’s demolished, where would our entire family find a place to stay all of a sudden?”Selena kept silent for a moment, then nodded and walked over.“This house is our family’s old mansion. Although it’s not a registered property, it’s considered a property of our Taylor family. You can’t just demolish it like that!”Selena looked at Young Master Clark in front of her as she stated coldly. Before Fane came back, Young Master Clark would come over to court her all the time. There were a few times that he suggested for her to apply for a death certificate to divorce Fane, then marry him.Although she felt annoyed by this person, he was not that bad in general. At least, the impression Selena had of him was much better than that Michael.She never thought that this
Meanwhile, at the Clark Family Villa.Clark family’s expert Dan Jameson did not see Young Master Clark when he returned. He could not help but frowned.“Where’s Young Master Clark? Where did he go?”Dan thought about it, then asked one of the bodyguards.“He took a group of people with him and left. I saw that he was rather happy, saying something about definitely getting his hands on that Selena woman!” the guard answered after some thought.“It can’t be!”Hearing that, Dan breathed in deeply. “This Young Master Clark! Didn’t I just warn him last time not to go look for trouble with that Fane Woods? Why won’t he listen!?”Ever since he lost the arm wrestling with Fane, Dan knew deep down in his heart how terrifying Fane was.With the ability that Fane had, even within the military, he would not be a regular soldier. He would at least be of a decent rank.A person like that, their Clark family would be better off steering clear from them.At first, he thought Ken would listen to him. W
That bodyguard said cheerfully, “For all we know, he might have already succeeded! Our young master is just waiting to carry the beauty home!”…“Demolish it!”Ken gave the order, planning to let those men take action.“What’s going on? Did that brat Fane overhear their conversation? Why did he go over to meddle?”Seeing the outcome, Fiona was truly shocked.At first, she thought her own daughter was very filial and would most likely agree to their request, but…“I’ll see who dares!”Fane took a few steps forward and stood in front of the gate. At that moment, although he looked dirty in clothes that were stained with muddy water, the aura he gave off while standing there gave people quite the scare.“Haha, Fane Woods, you’re quite brazen!”Ken laughed, then said to a middle-aged nearby, “Brother Howard, I’ll have to depend on you to help me teach this brat a lesson!”Fane had noticed long ago. Although that guy only stood there all the while without saying anything, he was no ordinary
”In that case, you also know that tearing down our house without providing compensation is wrong, right?”“You’re also feeling uncomfortable about this and want to make up for us, right?”Facing the marshal, Fane did not have the slightest fear or nervousness. Instead, he smiled indifferently.”If this is on the battlefield, and we are still in the army, you would not have such an attitude when you see a fellow soldier!”Dennis’s face sank. “I don’t want to be calculative. Fifty million and your entire family needs to move away. However, you cannot tell Ken Clark!”“That’s weird. You are a good and a reputable soldier. Yet, you are afraid of Ken? I really don’t understand what you are afraid of?”Fane frowned in confusion.“I’m not afraid. Years ago, before I became a soldier, our family was very poor. Once, my sister and I were about to starve to our deaths, he passed by and gave us a few thousand bucks. Although the money was nothing to him, but, to me, it meant a lot as it sa
