He then walked directly to Alex Watt. Clamping his hand on Alex’s shoulder, he ordered sharply, "Kneel!"
His hand seemed to weigh like a ton of bricks on Alex’s shoulder and he crumpled to his knees.
Thump!
Alex Watt’s knees slammed on the floor, and his features twisted in agony.
Slap!
Before he could even scream, the young man landed a series of thunderous slaps on both cheeks.
Alex Watt’s face began to swell as blood dripped from the corners of his lips. "You have such nerve to hit me like this!" He stared fixedly at Daniel with a venomous look. "Wait till you find out who you're dealing with, you piece of s**t!" He spat.
“Too noisy.” He slaps once again. The young man turned towards Daniel, "Sir, what would you like me to do?"
"Well, everyone knows that I'm a man of my word." Daniel replied, "Since he has promised to deal with me, I might as well return the favor. But I will not be as cruel—I want to break both of his arms instead."
"We should not let that b***h leave unscathed. Slap her until she's left with no more teeth!"
"Well said!" the young man responded as he dragged the couple into one of the classrooms that was empty, away from prying eyes. Soon howls were heard throughout the school.
The young man soon returned and threw the miserable couple on the floor. "What are you still waiting for?" He barked at them, "Get on your knees and apologize! If you upset my Sir again, I'll make sure you won't live to see the next day."
Alex Watt and his wife clambered to their knees, groveling for forgiveness at Daniel's feet.
"Go and apologize to my sister and her daughter." Daniel was impassive to their plea.
They scrambled hastily to kneel in front of Emilia and her daughter while sobbing with grief, "Ms. Carter, little Ms. Carter, it was all our fault. We were simply blinded by our foolishness. Please have mercy on us and let us go, we beg you!"
What?
Everybody at the scene stood transfixed, wide-eyed, and open-mouthed. Nobody saw this coming. They all expected Daniel and his family to perish instead of Alex Watt and his wife.
They were utterly dazed - what just happened?
Emilia had recovered from her initial shock and fear. Her kind-hearted nature was easily swayed. Looking at the pathetic couple before her, she suggested to Daniel, "Why don't we give them a chance, since they look like they have genuinely repented? Besides, they have already received the punishment that they deserve."
"Sure, as long as it pleases you, my dear sister." Daniel's lips curved into a tender smile.
His cheeky reply made her flush red.
Remaining, Daniel raised an eyebrow as the young man returned.
The man looked young, even with his stature. He looked smart and energetic; he was dressed in subtle designer clothes. His expression relaxed as if nothing ever happened.
“Mr. Carter.” The man gave a slight bow with a sly smile on his face. “Please.” He points at the blacked-out Rolls-Royce, gesturing for them to enter.
Seeing the expression on Emilia and Jessica’s faces, he turned to look at Daniel.
“It’s okay,” Daniel reassured.
Inside the Rolls-Royce, the young man grabbed a pin-locked briefcase and handed it to Daniel respectfully with both hands.
“This is all the information and equity transfer letter of Dwayne Corporation, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. I know how much you like discretion, so it isn’t directly related to you. Take a look at it”
“No need. Let's talk about more pressing matters, why are you here?” Daniel waved his hands dismissively as he questioned.
Shifting his gaze to Daniel, he straightened his back and greeted politely, “I’m Noah Webb, your contact. I have been tasked to be your assistant, Com…”
“Coming here, was the secret mission you refused to tell me about.” Daniel immediately cut him off before he revealed too much.
Noah immediately knew what Daniel was trying to achieve and decided to go along with it. “Well had I told you, you would have rejected it without hesitation. I simply accepted it because I made my allegiance to you, not the company. I would follow you wherever you go.” He proclaimed.
“I guess you’re right. Besides I’m retired, I can no longer order you around.” Daniel replied.
“Since you’re retired. I can finally do away with the honorifics.” Noah Webb said.
Noah Webb was one of the trainees under Daniel back at G7. He is one of the outstanding few; Daniel was able to call friends back when he was at G7. He was loyal and always listened to orders. He was able to fight his way through the rankings and become a high-level mercenary. He was also among the select few who had a good relationship with the commander.
Now that he was here, Daniel didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
“Daniel,” Noah continued, “As I said, my task is to be your assistant. Meaning I’m going to stick to you like butter. I’m not going anywhere and you have to put up with me. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it.” He stated in a provoking manner.
Daniel heaved an exaggerated sigh, as he looked at Noah, “Very well, let's see who gets tired of who first.” He said with a sly smile, “By the way, let me introduce you.”
Pointing at Emilia and Jessica respectively, he said, “This is my sister, Emilia Carter, and my niece, Jessica Carter.”
“Wow, where did these angels come from?” Noah said, “You are truly one of a kind, madam and little miss.” He shook hands with them.
Emilia who was on the side was absent-minded. As such was not paying attention to their conversation.
Worry fills her mind. It is about retaliation from Terry Watt, uncle of Alex Watt, and King of the southern district’s underworld of the city
