Semua Bab Vengeance Against That Scum: Bab 71 - Bab 80

The young girl, Hazel Rowse, nodded affirmatively and revealed, "Before you became the principal, I was abducted. Those evil men showed us your photo, speaking ill of you. We all understood they resented you because you stood against them and you're a kind person."This revelation caused Ember deep emotional pain. She had not expected the girl she had randomly saved to be one of the missing students she was searching for.She asked gently, "Hazel, what can you share about what you went through?"Memories of her traumatic experiences caused Hazel to shudder, and her eyes welled up with tears.Quickly wiping Hazel's tears away, Ember felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she took in the sight of Hazel's battered body."I'm sorry for being late. I rushed to the village to save you all as soon as I heard. I found you on the roadside... and brought you here."Upon hearing Ember's words, Hazel burst into tears. Between sobs, she recounted, "It's the fault of those bad people. They beat

Upon entering the building, Avery was immediately recognized by the receptionist, who recalled the previous encounter with the boy. She braced herself, anticipating potential mischief from him.Avery surprised her by being really courteous this time, asking, "Hello, could you please get Caleb for me? He's my dad."She considered it for a while. Then, she dialed the internal line with a smile and informed him, "Mr. Gerry, there's a boy here claiming to be Mr. Lane's son, asking to see Mr. Lane."Gerry was somewhat confused and responded skeptically, "Mr. Lane's son? Could be a hoax."He was not regularly in Caleb's company and was thus less aware of his personal life.Overhearing the conversation, Caleb stepped forward and questioned, "Who wants to see me?"Before the receptionist could reply, Avery piped up eagerly, "Daddy, it's me! Avery!"Caleb immediately softened his tone, urging, "Avery, wait for me downstairs."The phone call came to an end with a click.It was not long

The buyer was not one to be intimidated, arriving with several burly men. She stood her ground firmly against the traffickers, leading to a heated argument.Ember and Caleb observed the confrontation from their concealed location, silently condemning the way these individuals treated children as mere objects of trade.Surprisingly, they discovered that the two groups were in conflict.Ember reasoned that they should let them fight it out because it might work in their favor.As the situation became more intense, the traffickers tried to take the child and leave in a desperate move.The duo exchanged glances, understanding each other's plans without words.Caleb immediately texted his assistant. Briefly, his aide quickly brought a readily assembled team and arrived on the scene.The sudden intervention caught both the traffickers and the buyer off guard.Caleb's team immediately began to apprehend the traffickers, while the buyer seized the moment to escape.Caleb intervened to

A bullet struck Scarface in the arm, eliciting a scream of pain from him as his gun dropped from his grasp to the ground.Caleb and Ember did not waste a moment and ran away from the scene.One of the criminal's visibly shaking subordinates yelled out, "Chief! The cops are here! It's got to be them who tipped off the police!"With the police closing in, the traffickers began a desperate resistance.Noticing Caleb and Ember's escape, one of the traffickers retrieved the gun from the ground and shot at Ember.The sound of the gunshot echoed and startled many on the scene.Ember was frozen in terror. She could only watch as the bullet sped toward her.In the nick of time, Caleb pushed her away and took the bullet in his shoulder. With blood pouring out of him, he collapsed on the ground and lay motionless."Caleb!"The police quickly subdued the shooter, but his eyes were still burning with resentment.Following an intense confrontation, the police managed to apprehend all the t

Around midday, as Caleb contemplated an excuse to visit Ember, she unexpectedly arrived to tend to his injury."It's time for a dressing change," she announced flatly, treating him like any other patient.She approached him to gently remove the bandages, her focus entirely on the task despite the sunlight casting a warm glow on her face.A ray of sunlight that entered through the window illuminated Ember's face. However, her mind was totally on the work at hand.For a brief moment, Caleb was enamored with her attractive features. If Ember permitted it, he wished he could lean in and kiss her."Ouch!"A sharp pain brought him back to the present as Ember tended to his wound."It's going to hurt a little, but you have to bear with it," Ember replied, her gaze fixed on the wound, addressing Caleb as if he were just another patient.She moved fast and efficiently to change the dressing."I'll arrange for your lunch to be brought here. I have other patients to look after. Be carefu
