Chapter 247 At a certain pub in Northspring...
Jackie was respectfully standing in front of a pale-faced young man with black circles around his
eyes. He said ingratiatingly, âMr. Zachry, we must show this kid some lessons later for spoiling your
plan!â
Mr. Zachry's name was Matthew Zachry. He had seen Cecileâs photo before. Even though Cecile was
wearing washed-out clothes in the photo, she looked gorgeous. When he saw the photo, he
couldn't believe that a person could look so good without dressing up. When the Redcliffs heard
that Cecile had received a large sum of compensation money after Timothy fell to his death, Jackie
was stunned after following his family to Timothy's house and seeing the rumored adopted
daughter of his uncle. At that time, he decided on the spot to offer Cecile to Matthew in exchange
for a job opportunity beside him. Yet, someone came and foiled his plan today. He immediately
informed Matthew, and as he expected, Matthew flew into a rage and sent someone over there.
Fortunately, he had someone inform him what had happened in Cecile's house, so Matthew sent his
men to capture Max rather than sending them straight to Cecile's house and getting wiped out by
Kayson.
In the meantime, Matthew also hired a highly skilled fighter to help him deal with Kayson.
A hint of coldness crossed Matthew's pale face as he said, âThere hasn't been a single time I can't
get the woman I want. I won't let those who dare to get in my way off the hook so easily!â
While he was talking, a blue-clad old man in his 60s came in. Matthew hastily rose to his feet and
greeted him, âMr. Hoffman!"âLet's drop the formalities, Mr. Zachry.â Otto smiled at him. âIs the kid
that offended you here yet?"Matthew replied, âHe's on his way. I'm expecting you to take care of
him when he arrives, Mr. Hoffman. Also, I heard from my men that heâs a skilled fighter. He can
defeat a dozen people in a few minutes. That's something that will only happen in a movie.â Otto
was slightly taken aback. "Hmm? In that case, he might be a body practitioner.â Matthew then said
ingratiatingly, âHe's merely a body practitioner. I'm sure he's nowhere near your level.â Listing his
head high confidently, Otto said, âThat's for sure. He is no match for me even if he is an energy user,
let alone a body practitioner.â Suddenly, the manager of the pub rushed in nervously. âThis is bad,
Mr. Zachry! Rowenaâs brother is here!"Matthew's face sank when he heard what the manager said.
âJust chase him out. Why do you have to come and inform me about it?"âIt's not that we don't want
to chase him out,â replied the manager, his voice faltering. âHer brother is strong. None of the
security guards can hold him back!
"What?" Matthew was stunned. âA bunch of losers! There are so many of you, and you can't hold
back one person?âOtto chimed in. âDo you want me to go down there and check it out?"Matthew's
expression changed, and he said, âI'd greatly appreciate it, Mr. Hoffman.â He had heard from his
father that Otto was a highly skilled fighter, but he had never seen him in action before. Therefore,
this was the best chance for him to see his skills.
They all went downstairs. It was a mess downstairs. The floor was littered with broken stuff, and a
dark-skinned muscular man was sitting on the couch. Otto took a glance at him and said with a
smile, âI can understand why your security guards are no match for him, Mr. Zachry. He's an energy
user. He isn't someone an ordinary person can hold back.âMatthew looked fretfully at the security
guards on the floor. All of them were skilled fighters, but the fact they stood no chance against the
man in front of him showed how powerful he was.At that moment, the man called Hendery stood
up and stared at Matthew with his bloodshot eyes. It's you, right? You're the bast*rd who crippled
my sister!â It went without saying that Matthew wouldn't be afraid of him since he had Otto on his
side.âYour sister should feel grateful that I would take a fancy to her, but sheâs an ingrate. It's
considered merciful that I didn't kill her, and you still have the nerves to come to cause a mess here?
It seems like both of you really have a death wish!â Hendery's face turned grim as he hissed. âYou
b*stard!â
