Chapter 110 Nathan yanked out the chopstick and Baneâs dagger fell to the floor with a clatter.
Grasping at his bleeding throat, Bane muttered, âY-youâre so strong! T-tell me, how much of your true power did you use to kill me?â
Nathanâs reply was chilly. âTen percent.â
Bane toppled to the ground with an expression of shock forever frozen on his face.
Kenneth stared at Nathan with astonishment. Bane was one of his familyâs top killers, yet he was killed within seconds!
Nathan said as he turned his piercing gaze on Kenneth, âI thought I have made it perfectly clear that the Logan family was not to step foot in Channing ever again. Yet you showed up here so you canât say I didnât warn you.â
Realizing the implication behind his words, Kenneth cried out, âYou dare to kill me?!â
Then, Nathan ordered, âKill him!â
Putting on a brave front even as terror and impotent fury raged in him, Kenneth shouted, âIâm Kenneth Logan, the heir to the Logan family! Who dares to touch me!â
His ten bodyguards placed themselves around him leaving him standing in the middle of their protective circle.
Colin Dunne and Thomas Dunn leaped towards the bodyguards with savage snarls on their faces like demons released from the gates of hell.
After several moments, the sounds of battle stopped and a stillness descended upon the restaurant again.
The coppery smell of blood was thick in the air.
Kenneth and his men were all lying dead in a pool of blood. The eyes of the young heir were wide open with the look of disbelief forever carved on his face. He had clearly not expected Nathan to kill him just like that.
Just then, a huge crowd of people swarmed into the restaurant. Thankfully, they were all Thomasâ men.
Nathan eyed the crimson stain all over Thomasâ body. âAre your injuries serious?â
The man bowed his head as he muttered shamefully, âI wonât die but my skills have deteriorated a lot in the past few years. Iâm a disgrace to you, sir.â
Nathan understood the reason behind his subordinateâs degradation in skill and did not blame him at all. âWhatâs more important is that youâre okay. Send Kenneth Loganâs body back to his family in Alberesque. Make sure you give them one more warning.â
âYes, sir!â
Colin, who had been silent all along murmured hesitantly, âSir, thereâs one more thing I have to report.â
âWhat is it?â
âAccording to my sources, Kenneth Logan made it seem like he was here to get revenge for his brother but in actual fact, he came here on behalf of the Smith family. The Smith brothers had promised him a huge reward for killing you and Thomas.â
A cold look flashed past Nathanâs eyes. âThe Smith family must really have a death wish. If it werenât for the fact they were Pennâs blood relatives, I would have killed them long ago.â
âShall we teach them a lesson?â queried Colin.
âCrackdown on the Smiths. Maybe if they suffer enough losses, theyâll finally get the hint and learn their lesson!â
âYes, sir!â
...
On the same day, Kennethâs body was sent back to his family in Alberesque. News of the unfortunate demise of the young heir spread like wildfire.
At the Smith Family Villa, the Smiths were having an emergency family meeting.
As it turned out, all the companies owned by the Smiths owned began to run into some trouble after Kennethâs death. Some of the companiesâ stock markets had plunged causing a rapid price drop in their shares; some companies had a sudden influx of investigations that led to huge fines or orders to overhaul certain departments within a short period of time.
In short, they were suffering heavy losses on all fronts.
Sean was so furious that his lips were trembling as he demanded, âWho can tell me just what the f**k is going on?! Why are our companies running into so much trouble and suffering such massive losses!â
