Immortal King

Chapter 47

Sir Leo's heart was crushed by Jack's kick, causing his chest to cave in completely. He was dead in an instant. A figure who symbolized an era in the underworld was thus effortlessly ended by Jack!

The Carter family in the room were all shocked into silence. Only Lily understood that Jack had special authority, allowing him to deal with situations on the spot. Sir Leo, known as the "Boss of Southside," was certainly guilty of numerous murders, making his death almost inevitable.

"Jack… Jack Steele, you killed someone?!" Carry was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected his greatest backup to be kicked to death by Jack before he could even act. How could this guy be so different from a normal person? Shouldn't he be trembling in fear and begging for mercy right now?

"Just a criminal. Dead is dead," Jack said calmly as if he had done something insignificant.

He then turned to Carry and said, "Mr. Carry, if you want to live, apologize to my sister right now. She suffered eight years of hardship in your family, and I will settle the score with each of you."

"What? You want me to apologize to that little b***h? Impossible!" Carry's face turned red as he shouted.

Jack's eyes turned icy, and he slapped Carry hard. "Smack!" One side of Carry's face swelled instantly. As Carry stared in shock, Jack slapped the other side of his face, causing it to swell as well.

"Uh… uh…" Carry could no longer speak, managing only a couple of sounds before Jack kicked him away.

The Carter family fell silent, the room filled with an oppressive stillness. Chloe was trembling with fear. She had hoped to rely on her family and Carry to teach Jack a lesson, but now that Carry had been beaten so badly, how could the Carter family protect her?

In her terror, Chloe instinctively looked up to see Jack staring at her with cold eyes, as if looking at a corpse.

"I… I'll apologize to Miss Steele right away. Please, spare me this time! I truly know I was wrong!" Chloe reacted quickly, immediately kneeling before Cindy, crying and begging for mercy while slapping her face hard. In no time, her face was swollen.

Cindy, seeing Chloe's face already swollen, couldn't help but feel some pity. She said, "Brother, my hand doesn't hurt anymore. Let's forgive her?"

"Alright, it's up to you, Cindy." Jack patted Cindy's head and led her out of the room.

As he left, Jack felt a heartbroken gaze following him. He knew it was Lily, but their paths were destined to diverge, so he remained cold.

In the room, Carry struggled to his feet. His subordinates hurried to help him, but he kicked them away. "You useless trash! I spent so much money on you, and you can't even handle one of Jack's men. What's the point of keeping you?" Carry raged, his expression twisted with fury. "Get me all the information on Jack Steele. I want him dead!"

"Yes, sir!" His men immediately set out to gather information on Jack. The Carters, left in the room, were at a loss, too scared to even breathe.

Meanwhile, Jack escorted Cindy back to Dragon Crest and then called Emily.

Emily's sweet voice came through the phone, "Jack, I'm at the slum project site. The construction is about to start. Do you want to come and take a look?" Jack agreed and immediately took a taxi to the construction site.

The slums of Wyndcrest were located in the northern district, and it took more than half an hour to get there by taxi. When Jack arrived, the area was already bustling with construction activities.

Emily, wearing a safety helmet, was standing on a small hill overseeing the work. Beside her stood a young, handsome man speaking to her.

Jack frowned and walked over immediately. "Jack, you're here!" Emily's face lit up with joy as she saw Jack and ran over to hug his arm.

The man's face turned sour, reluctantly following behind. He had spent the whole morning talking to Emily without getting much response from her. But now, just seeing Jack made Emily smile so beautifully. The difference in treatment was too much to bear.

"Jack, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Gavin Grant from Novin Materials. Most of the materials needed for the slum renovation project are supplied by his company." Emily pointed to the man beside her.

"Hello, I'm Miss Foster's partner. And are you…" Gavin Grant extended his hand to Jack with a smug expression.

"I'm Emily's husband. My name is Jack Steele." Jack lightly shook his hand, ready to let go, but Gavin suddenly tightened his grip. Jack looked at him without saying a word.

"Mr. Steele, are you feeling unwell? If you are, you can tell us," Gavin sneered, squeezing Jack's hand harder. Gavin had trained in Taekwondo and had considerable strength, usually able to handle two adults easily.

Gavin thought that with Jack looking so frail, he could easily crush him with one hand. As Gavin prepared to apply more force to humiliate Jack, Jack slightly tightened his grip.

Jack slightly tightened his grip. "Crack!" The sound of bones breaking echoed.
