Chapter 25
Blade was nearly two meters tall. His body was particularly robust and he had bulging muscles. The short-sleeved T-shirt that he wore accentuated his chest muscles, and they were big enough to rival an average woman’s bosom. His bronze-colored arm muscles instilled fear in people, while his thick eyebrows and sharp eyes were brimming with might.
When he arrived, he rubbed his bald head and asked Trevor in a hoarse voice, “Tell me, who do you want me to kill?”
Trevor had yet to even utter a single word when Easton said impatiently, “It’s him! That b*stard ruined my wedding and even tore off one of my fingers! Kill him. No, wait, killing him would be going too easy on him. I want you cut off his meat bit by bit, and have the pieces thrown it into the river for the fish to-” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Before he could end his sentence, Blade gave Easton a backhand slap that left Easton feeling all dizzy.
“B-B-Blade? You hit the wrong person, didn’t you? I want you to hit Severin! Not me!” Easton covered his face with a bewildered expression.
Blade smiled coldly and said, “I don’t need you to order me around. That question I asked was directed toward your father, not you! Don’t forget that I’m only repaying you a favor. I’m not your servant, and a brat like you has no business ordering me around!”
The corner of Trevor’s mouth twitched a few times. He gave Blade a bun when Blade was at his lowest, and in return, Blade promised to owe him a favor.
Had it not been for the Loughs’ lack of options that day after suffering such utter humiliation, he would have saved that favor for another time.
Trevor glared at Easton at once. “You idiot! Know your place and keep quiet! Now back away!”
There was nothing else Easton could do except heed his father’s order. After all, he knew just how ruthless Blade could be.
“Hehe,” Trevor chuckled, then said to Blade in a groveling manner, “I’m not asking for much. I just want you to beat that kid up and leave him disabled!”
Although he desperately wanted Severin dead, Diane would certainly be unhappy if Severin was killed. Although Diane was something of an outcast at that moment, it did not mean that she would continue to do the same in the future, since she might one day be allowed back to the Shanahans again. Should that happen, his act of having Severin killed would have been an affront
to the Shanahans.
Denzel protected Severin that day too, so if Trevor were to be absolutely ruthless, it might just lead to a falling out with the Monroes in the future.
After considering all the stakes, Trevor decided that it would be okay for Blade to cripple Severin. That was the least that could be done to vent out his anger.
Blade observed the situation there and frowned at once. He looked at Catherine and asked, “This is odd. Why are the Shanahans here too? Can somebody tell me what’s going on?”
When Helga heard that question, she immediately volunteered to explain everything. She even made a point to exaggerate things a bit. Finally, she said, “Doesn’t he disgust you? My daughter was with him for three years, but he still wants our family to return the dowry!”
In response, Blade merely smiled coldly. “I don’t give a rat’s a*s about your family’s affairs, but I must say that I admire this kid’s courage to come here by himself and cause trouble. He’s got guts, but unfortunately, no skills. Those who only have guts are reckless fools!”
Blade then looked at Severin and said to him, “You can forget about getting back your forty thousand today, kid. However, you pulling off one of Easton’s fingers is a very serious offense, though we could call it even if you apologize to them and slice off one of your hands. How does that sound for you?”
Severin smiled faintly, pushed away the hotel security guards in front of him, and walked slowly over to Blade with his hands behind his back. With a sneer, he retorted, “Apologize to them? Do they think they’re fit to receive an apology from me?”
Everyone at the scene gasped at Severin’s sheer boldness. Blade was obviously trying to help him, but he did not even show Blade even the slightest bit of respect!
