Chapter 1865

Ivan waved his hand, and the masked men stopped instantly.

“Mr. Sixtus said if the protection fee isn't collected, you'll have to compensate with your body. Clean yourself up and make your way to Mr. Sixtus' Glamor Restaurant later,” Ivan instructed.

Emma took a deep breath and pleaded, “Ivan, aren't you guys being too much?”

“You can't do that? Okay then, carry on bashing the place up!” Ivan exclaimed with an annoyed tone.

The masked men continued smashing up the bar once again.

Grief-stricken, Emma shrieked, “Fine! Stop it! I'll oblige Mr. Sixtus' instruction, okay?”

A bright smile flashed across Ivan's face. He then waved at his subordinates and commanded, “All right, stop! Let's go!”

Turning to Emma, Ivan stated, “Ten o'clock tonight! If you don't show up at Glamor Restaurant, you're doomed.”

With that, he gathered his men and made to leave.

“Stand right there. Did I say you could leave?” A deep voice echoed through the empty bar.

The voice caught Ivan and his men by surprise. They stopped in their tracks and turned toward the speaker.

When Ivan spotted Zeke, he was dissatisfied. “What the hell? There's still someone inside here?”

Emma's face turned ashen. She rushed toward Zeke and tried to push him out of the bar. “Please leave. The bar is closed,” she whispered.

Then she turned toward Ivan. “Ivan, ignore him. He's just a customer. He doesn't know what he's getting himself into.”

However, Emma couldn't push Zeke away no matter how hard she tried. He just stood there completely unfazed.

“Please get lost unless you wish to die!” Emma whispered again.

Zeke glared at her with a murderous gaze.

Emma froze when she saw those devilish eyes. Oh god! Who is this man? Those eyes are terrifying!

I've never seen such murderous eyes in my life!

While hitting his bat on the floor repetitively, Ivan looked at Zeke provocatively and said, “Hey punk, what did you just say to us?”

“I said you guys can't leave without my permission!” Zeke answered.

“Haha! I know what you're doing! You're trying to be a hero in front of the lady! All right, I'll give you a chance to be a hero.” Ivan then turned to his men and instructed, “You two, incapacitate him! After that, meet us at Heyburn Grill.”

“Sure!” Two stocky men walked toward Zeke while dragging their bats on the floor.

“Stop! Stop right there!” Emma panicked and instinctively threw herself in front of Zeke. “He's just an innocent customer. Don't find trouble with him. If you take a step closer, I'll not accept your terms and go to Glamor Restaurant anymore!”

The two men smiled coldly upon hearing that. One of them said, “Why are you so protective of him? I bet there's something going on between the two of you!”

“How dare you touch a woman Mr. Sixtus likes? You're dead! Emma, move! Otherwise, don't blame us if we accidentally hurt you!” exclaimed the other.

Despite the threats, Emma was still protecting Zeke with her arms stretched out. “You guys are mistaken! I swear I don't know him!”

“Damn it!” The men were frustrated at Emma's refusal to move, so they swung their bats at her head.

“Ah!” Emma screamed in fear when the bats were fast approaching her head. She instinctively reached out her arms to cover her head.

Right at that moment, Zeke made his move. Needless to say, he didn't need to fight them off physically.

Instead, he casually released a burst of energy toward them.

Bam!

With just a minimal amount of energy, both the men were flung outward.

The force they felt was as though they were hit by a fast-moving car.

The men smashed into every obstacle between them and the wall behind. At last, both of them were stuck inside the wall.

Ivan hadn't even made his way out of the bar yet when he heard a loud noise behind him. It was so loud that he thought there had been an explosion. Little did he know, the sound came from the impact of his men crashing into the wall. Frightened by the noise, Ivan and the rest of his men quickly turned around.
