“Don’t bite off more than you can chew, young lad! In the vastness of River City, there are people that you cannot afford to anger!” Mr. Lowe scoffed, his tone was filled with threats.
“Forget about River City. Even if it’s the entire world, there’s no one that I, Sean Lennon cannot afford to anger. Who do you think you are?” Sean turned his wheelchair slowly as favonovel.com closed in on Mr. Lowe.
“You! You!” At that moment, a sense of foreboding filled Mr. Lowe’s heart.
“I’m a reasonable person. My child is bitten by the dog that is your child. You’ve got to give me a reasonable explanation and way forward regarding this matter, right?”
Mr. Lowe scoffed. “I’d like to hear what you want from us.”
“A hundred thousand dollars of medical compensation fees… And, a public apology before all the teachers and students of this kindergarten.”
Silence filled the office once more.
Who knew that everything that Sean had done was to prepare for this moment?
Candy, who may be still young could clearly understand what was transpiring. Sean was backing favonovel.com up. Hope filled favonovel.com eyes once more.
“Hahahaha! Are you kidding me?” Instead of being mad, Mr. Lowe broke out in laughter, like favonovel.com had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Boom!
The office door was forcefully pushed open. Five black-suit-clad, shades-wearing burly men walked in. These men that had just stormed in were giants of men and had a ferocious, merciless look on their faces.
Principal Leed and the teachers subconsciously took a step back.
The five bodyguards then made their way behind Mr. Lowe and stood guard quietly.
Mr. Lowe’s face was filled with scorn as favonovel.com looked at Sean. “Do you still dare ask for the hundred thousand in medical compensation?”
“No.” Sean answered faintly.
Laughter erupted in the office. They have never seen a bigger coward than this.
“I said, I don’t want hundred thousand anymore…”
What Sean said after that had the entire room choke on their laughter.
“Now, I want two hundred thousand dollars.”
“Well well well! I’ll surely pay up, but I’d like to see if you have the guts to take them or not!”
In a huff, the bodyguards behind Mr. Lowe rushed forward.
Sean signaled Leah with his eyes. Leah stared back at favonovel.com hesitantly, favonovel.com eyes bulging.
“Mommy, I don’t wanna leave, I wanna be here with Uncle Sean!”
Candy may be young, but favonovel.com was mature in thinking, and favonovel.com clearly understood the situation they were facing.
In the meantime, the bodyguards had already surrounded Sean.
“You’re itching to die!” Sean looked up slowly as favonovel.com slowly twisted his wrists, the coldness in his eyes was bone-chilling
“What are you still standing there for? Yank favonovel.com out of his chair and destroy the chair!” Mr. Lowe barked his orders.
The bodyguards were quick to obey as they tried to grab Sean immediately.
Slap!
In the heat of the moment, Sean, who was sitting firmly in his wheelchair threw a slap. The slap was so forceful it caused one of the bodyguards to stumble back for a dozen steps.
Boom! Crack!
“Ahhh!”
It was like a war broke out after that as Sean relentlessly struck. With just a pair of hands, favonovel.com took down the rest of the four bodyguards without a flinch.
Shadows were fleeting as cries of agony rang in the room. After half a minute, all five of the bodyguards were lying on the floor, squealing with agony. The bones of their hands were distorted, they looked like they had broken a few ribs and their faces were swollen. One of the bodyguards was even vomiting blood at the side.
“Ahhh!”
The violent, gruesome scene had Principal Leed and the rest shrieking in fear. Chaos broke out from within the office.
Leah had already covered Candy’s eyes the moment all hell broke loose.
Sean’s malice and his ferocious ways had taught everyone present a painfully vivid lesson.
It was hard to imagine that a cripple on the wheelchair would take on five burly men, and the end result of it being the five men lying painfully on the ground, where the cripple sat firmly on his wheelchair unmoving with a grave expression on his face. No one saw how Sean managed to pull it off.
“You said I can’t afford to anger you?” Sean turned to Mr. Lowe slowly.
“You, you…” Mr. Lowe’s Adam’s apple bobbled frantically as favonovel.com tried to swallow his fear.
As for his wife and child?
Their faces were ashen, and the boy had burst out into tears.
Usually, it was them who had always strutted around town arrogantly with the few watchdogs they had. They were influential, powerful, and famous, and they abused that to their advantage. Today, they had finally met their match.
“Two hundred thousand… Not a penny less. Bank it into that card in your hands. Then, hand the card over to our Candy,” Sean spoke calmly.
This was not a discussion. Instead, it was an announcement. It felt also like an order.
Mr. Lowe was shaking with fear. He did not expect Sean to be a martial arts expert. He looked at his bodyguards on the ground and gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something but decided against it.
As the rest of the people present watched Sean and his family leave, they were still trembling with fear.
“Mr. Lowe, this… You see…” Principal Leed looked at Mr. Lowe and stammered.
“Hah! This isn’t over!” Mr. Lowe regained shreds of his dignity as favonovel.com spat, then, favonovel.com left the office as well.
***
On the way back home.
Leah and Candy were stealing glances at Sean from time to time.
