Chapter 454

The young woman stopped in her tracks, her frail body trembling slightly.

The blonde youth approached and grabbed Luna by the hair. “Your father already sold you to my family, and you dared to run away?”

“Let me go…”

Luna covered her hair with both hands, her brows tightly furrowed in pain.

The blonde youth dragged Luna out, saying, “Come home with me now. I’ll have my way with you tonight.”

At that moment, a woman in her 30s emerged from the back packaging room.

Seeing Luna about to be taken away, she immediately frowned and said, “Stop! What do you think you’re doing?”

Several youths beside the blonde one stepped in front of the woman, smiling faintly, “Ma’am, this doesn’t concern you…”

The shopkeeper looked at the blonde youth and said, “This is the city center. The city hall and patrol office are just 300 meters away. I’ll call the cops on you!”

The blonde youth squinted. “Say one more word and I’ll trash your shop!”

The woman gritted her teeth, not daring to stir trouble too easily.

She had saved money for a long time to open this store. If it got wrecked on its opening day, she would truly be ruined.

The youth then glared at Nash, yelling, “What are you looking at, huh? Believe your eyes out!”

Nash paused for a moment, then laughed. “My eyes are mine to use as I please. Aren’t you being a bit too nosy?”

Being so brazen near the city hall, this young man must have backing.

“Fuck, how dare you talk to Claude like that?”

A lackey from the blonde youth’s side brazenly approached Nash.

Before he even reached Nash, he was slapped to the ground.

Without even letting out a scream, he passed out with blood oozing from his nose and mouth.

Nash shook off his hand, nonchalantly saying, “Why are you trying to fight when you can’t even walk properly!”

The lad looked about 17 or 18. In Nash’s eyes, he was just a brat. Nash had not even used his full strength, but the boy could not withstand it.

“H-How dare you hit my man!”

Claude Lee stared angrily at Nash. “I’m with one of the Lees. There are very few families in Jonford who don’t know who I am. Even the people from the governor’s office show me respect, and you dare lay a hand on my people?”

Nash took a few steps toward Claude.

He slapped him twice, once on each cheek, without hesitation.

His relationship with the Lees was quite good. He could be considered doing a good deed by disciplining one of their youngsters.

Claude was completely dumbfounded and stared at Nash in disbelief, “You… You’re really…”

There was another slap from Nash.

This one was stronger, causing Claude’s jaw to dislocate.

He shakily pointed at Nash, mumbling, “You… You guys… kill him…”

Several lackeys with fierce expressions lunged at Nash.

There were no fancy moves, merely one slap for each of them. All four fell to the ground, groaning.

They did not even see how Nash made his move.

Claude realized Nash was a martial artist, so no wonder he was so fearless.

He pulled out his phone to call his uncle.

After receiving Claude’s call, Joseph immediately sent Olivia to handle it.

“Dad, you never discipline Claude even when he’s always causing trouble outside. If you keep spoiling him like this, he’ll get even worse!”

Olivia said with clear reluctance.

Claude was her cousin. After her second uncle passed away, her second aunt took Claude and left the Lees.

Their family held 30% of all shares under the Lees’ businesses. Their annual dividends surpassed the income of those third-rate families.

Joseph chuckled helplessly. “What can I do? Your second uncle passed away early, and as the elder brother, I can’t just abandon his wife and child, can I?”

“This is the last time I’m helping him. If there’s any more trouble in the future, deal with it yourself!”

With a cold expression, Olivia left her father’s study.

It would have been one thing if Claude was the one who had been provoked by others, but every time, it was Claude who took the initiative to seek trouble.
