Chapter 2
On the other side of a tomb in the Clifford family, a ragged and dirty girl was surrounded by a group of burly men. She sat on the ground in a pitiful state, desperately covering her body with her hands. Tears filled her eyes. Dirt was on her face, giving her a pale and frightened look as she stared at the men in front of her.
The men surrounding the girl all had a ferocious expression on their faces, filled with a sense of wickedness and lasciviousness. Among them, a bald man with a smug smile on his face spoke in a harsh voice to the girl on the ground.
“Well, well, well… So you’re the last bastard of the Clifford family, huh? After waiting for so long, we finally found you. Once we’re done with you, the Clifford family will be completely wiped out. The young master will definitely reward us greatly for
this.”
“You’re talking nonsense.” The girl’s face showed a stubborn and determined expression as she loudly retorted to the bald
man.
“My brother is still alive. When my brother comes back, he will tear you all apart.”
Upon hearing the girl’s words, the people around her were momentarily stunned but then burst into laughter in unison.
“Hahaha! Your brother? Are you talking about Gavin Clifford?” The bald man’s face showed a mocking and sneering expression as he spoke.
“Gavin Clifford died 10 years ago in the Sunspire Resistance. There’s no trace of his goddamn corpse anymore.”
“You’re lying. My brother didn’t die. He didn’t die.”
Tears continued to flow from the girl’s eyes, but her tone remained firm and defiant.
“Boss.” At this moment, a skinny man resembling a ‘monkey ran up to the bald man. He first licked his lips while looking at the girl on the ground and then eagerly spoke to the bald man.
“Now that we’ve caught this little girl, it’s simple to kill her. But before we do that, can I… Well, you know what I’m talking
about, Boss.”
As the skinny man spoke, he touched his belt.
“You little brat.” The bald man kicked the skinny man angrily and said, “I’ll do it first.”
“Alright, Boss, you’re definitely the first one.”
“Hahaha.”
The bald man looked at the girl on the ground, licking his lips with a flushed face as he walked toward her. As he walked, he unfastened his belt.
The girl panicked and asked incoherently, “What… what are you doing? What are you doing?”
But in the next second…
Rip!
The girl struggled. One of the legs of her worn-out jeans was torn off by the bald man, revealing a large area of her snow- white legs.
Seeing this scene, the people around couldn’t help but salivate.
“Ah! Get away! Don’t touch me!”
“Hahaha.” The bald man still had that lewd smile on his face as he loudly said, “Serve me well, little slut.”
After saying that, he took off his pants, revealing his grotesque and small member.
With his ugly hands, he grabbed the girl’s ankle.
Just at that moment….
Whoosh! A loud sound broke the silence as a huge slab of stone shot toward the bald man.
The stone slab looked extremely heavy, definitely not something an ordinary person could lift.
It was difficult to lift, yet someone managed to send it flying at such a fast speed. It was as if the laws of nature themselves had conspired to unleash this cataclysmic assault. How could anyone muster the strength to wield such an unfathomable object?
In the next second…
“Bang!” The huge stone slab ruthlessly smashed into the bald man, who was exposing his ugly member.
“Poof!”
A crimson tide surged forth. An unyielding torrent of life’s essence erupted from the bald man’s mouth and nose. His features contorted in agony, and his once formidable countenance was reduced to a mask of pain and despair. The sheer force of the blow catapulted his body backward like a marionette in the hands of an invisible puppeteer.
“Boss!”
The onlookers gasped in disbelief. Their voices trembled with a mixture of horror and concern. The sight before them was an affront to their senses, an assault on their understanding of the natural order.
The first one to take action was, of course, the skinny man who resembled a monkey. He let out a cry and rushed to the side of the bald man, supporting his boss with a panicked expression.
“Boss, are you okay? How are you feeling right now?”
At that moment, the bald man’s face contorted in agony, his mouth and nose a macabre canvas of crimson. Half of his body was deeply sunken. The life force within him seemed to wane, His body was sinking into a state of profound vulnerability. It seemed that he would die soon.
But at that moment, the bald man struggled to raise his arm and pointed in a direction, his finger trembling slightly
Everyone turned their gaze in the direction indicated by the bald man’s trembling finger. Their eyes widened in astonishment as they beheld a young man in plain clothes standing amidst the chaos as if he had emerged from the very fabric of the universe itself.
Moreover, the expression on this young man’s face was extremely ferocious as if he was filled with intense pain and hatred. The weight of his sorrow seemed to hang heavy in the air. It was a palpable force that permeated the surrounding atmosphere.
His bloodshot eyes mirrored the depths of his torment as if he had traversed the darkest recesses of his own soul. At that moment, he seemed to carry within him a burden too immense for words. His expression spoke volumes, a symphony of anguish and wrath that resonated with their own hidden pain.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly at him, “Kid! Who the hell are you?”
At that moment, the girl who had previously fallen to the ground somehow gathered her strength to get up from the ground and rushed in the direction of the young man, letting out a fierce roar as if she had used up all her strength.
“Gavin!”
Her voice was so loud that it even cracked.
However, because she was extremely weak, she only took a few steps before she fell straight to the ground again.
But this time, she didn’t fall directly onto the ground. Instead, she fell into someone’s warm embrace.
“My brother… Gavin…”
Zoe’s voice trembled with a mixture of relief and anguish as she buried her head deep into Gavin’s chest. Her fragile frame shook with the weight of her emotions. Her two thin arms tightly wrapped around his neck as if afraid to let go.
The sound of her crying reverberated through the ruins of the once majestic Clifford Villa, each sob a cathartic release of the pain that had been suppressed within her heart for the past 10 long years.
Gavin, his own tears mingling with Zoe’s, held her tightly in his embrace. His heart ached as he felt the weight of her suffering, the toll of a decade spent apart etched into every tear-streaked line on her face. With gentle strokes, he patted her back. His touch was a soothing balm to her wounded soul.
“Zoe, don’t be afraid. I’m back… I’m back, Gavin whispered softly, his voice a tender, reassurance in the midst of their shared turmoil. He knew that mere words could not erase the scars that time had carved into his sister’s spirit, but he hoped that his presence would serve as a beacon of solace and strength.
Zoe was Gavin’s sister.
Upon hearing Gavin say, “I’m back,” the sound of her crying intensified.
Zoe’s crying and frail body were telling Gavin the immense suffering she had endured over the past 10 years.
These years… you’ve suffered a lot.
Gavin’s voice choked up, but Zoe shook her head frantically, lifting her tear-filled eyes to look directly at Gavin as she
sobbed.
“Gavin… I… I haven’t suffered. I knew it. You didn’t die. You wouldn’t die. Gavin, you’ve finally come back. The suffering I’ve endured… The efforts I’ve made… Everything… everything is worth it.”
In the end, Zoe’s voice was completely drowned out by her crying, and she couldn’t utter a word anymore.
Her sister was in such a sorry state, but she was still stubbornly trying to comfort him, which made Gavin’s heart ache.
The reunion of the siblings was a touching scene, but some people didn’t want to pay any attention to it.
“Hey! Are you Gavin Clifford? Are you still alive? Why didn’t you die in the Sunspire Resistance 10 years ago?”
The person speaking was the skinny man. Clearly, after his boss was no longer around, he became the leader of this group.
When Gavin heard this voice, he suddenly looked up, and his bloodshot eyes immediately locked onto the skinny man.
The skinny man suddenly felt a strange chill coming toward him. He shivered all over, but he didn’t think it was because of Gavin’s imposing pressure on him. Instead, he pointed his finger provocatively at Gavin.
He shouted, “Kid! Since you’re alive, why didn’t you just hide and live a miserable life? How dare you come back? Well, you came back at the right moment. Today is just right for killing two birds with one stone. I’ll kill both of you here! We can then consider our mission accomplished!”
At this point, the tone of the skinny man suddenly changed as he said, “Of course, your sister will definitely die a little later than you. We’re gonna have some fun with this young lady.”
