Chapter 5: Is This What You Call Help?
1551 Words
In one sentence, Ruth Mond's pupils contracted.
Only Rory Haydn remained completely unaware, tears blurred his eyes, tremblingly staring at Ryan.
"Do you... Do you even know who I am? I am the mistress of the Larkin Family! You dare to make me kneel..."
Ruth Mond didn't notice the three words "my father" mentioned by Ryan. She looked directly at the money, her eyes popping out, quickly hugged a pile of money in her arms, and then disdainfully looked at Ryan.
However, before she could finish speaking, Ryan raised his hand.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound echoed throughout the courtyard as Ruth Mond was immediately slapped to the ground, and the money scattered all over.
Ruth Mond was dumbfounded, and Renee was also stunned.
"You... You dare hit me! You dare hit me! Just wait and see!" Holding her swollen face with her right hand, Ruth Mond tremblingly took out her phone and dialed a number.
" Sophia! I've been beaten! It happened right here in our old house! Hurry up and come over! Ouch!" Then Ruth Mond's cry of grievance came through the phone.
But Ryan completely ignored her.
"Dad, I'm back." Ryan turned to look at Rory, his heart filled with endless waves.
"Son, my son!" Rory Haydn burst into tears, tremblingly reached out his hands, and tightly hugged Ryan.
Renee Haydn also approached and the three of them cried together.
It had been seven years!
Rory Haydn even thought he would never see Ryan again in his lifetime!
He only knew that his son had joined the military, and they hadn't been in touch since then!
Unexpectedly, Ryan had come back now!
Moreover, he could sense from Ryan a trace of noble and unattainable aura...
Back then, he was the helmsman of a first-class family and had good judgment. When he saw the person behind Ryan, powerful and forceful, he immediately thought of something and asked excitedly, "Son, these years..."
Ryan shook his head, "Dad, let's talk about it later."
Rory nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay..."
...
"Oh! So it's you, this bastard! How dare you hit me? After my daughter comes, all of you will get out!" Ruth Mond finally completely understood Ryan's identity, anger surged in her heart, and she was beaten by a waste! She roared at Ryan Haydn.
But the family of three didn't even look at her.
Rory Haydn had also come to accept it, showing no intention of blaming Ryan. His son had come back, even if they had to sleep on the streets, so what?
The three silently cherished this rare warmth. Before long, the sound of a car could be heard in the courtyard.
Ruth Mond's expression brightened, hurriedly stuffed all the money into her waist and, because of her original obesity, it couldn't be seen at all.
"Aunt, who hit you?" Just then, a cold voice sounded, followed by three figures walking in from outside.
Leading the way was Pete Larkin, the head of the Larkin Family, with a slick young man on his right, and the left was Pete's daughter, Sophia Larkin.
Her exquisite appearance seemed to have been embellished by God, her tall figure, fair and smooth skin, almond eyes, and cherry lips, were a truly stunning beauty!
But at that moment, Sophia Larkin's face was equally unsightly.
The speaker was none other than the slick young man on her right, the young master of the Noah Family, one of the Top Four Families in Heapeka City, Adam Noah!
He and Sophia Larkin were currently in a romantic relationship.
After the three entered, seven or eight burly men in black suits stormed in behind them, full of imposing aura.
Ryan Haydn turned his head and quietly observed the incoming people.
But completely ignored Adam Noah.
"Pete, I came here with good intentions to see them, but got beaten! I can't live anymore!" Ruth Mond quickly pretended to look innocent, intentionally revealing her swollen face.
Pete Larkin's mouth twitched, and Sophia's eyes instantly filled with anger.
"Rory Haydn! I helped you so much when you were down and out, and now that your son has come back, he dared to hit my wife?" Pete Larkin didn't show respect anymore, he could recognize Ryan's identity.
"Pete Larkin, the subordinate my father promoted back then?" Ryan coldly looked at Pete. He didn't have much hostility towards him after all, since he had helped his father.
"Insolence! You think you can call my father's name? No rules!" Sophia stepped forward, realizing that her relationship with Ryan had always been good since childhood, a ripple rose in her heart when she saw him.
But immediately, she snapped back to reality.
She was now Adam Noah's girlfriend, the young lady of the Larkin Family.
And he, Ryan, was just a destitute young master without a family.
The two were no longer in the same world.
She, for what reason did she have to consider the past favors?
"What are you even? Do you even deserve to utter my uncle's name? A stray dog, dare to stand here barking?" Adam Noah knew it was time for him to show off, so he stepped forward, looking disdainfully at Ryan.
As soon as he finished speaking, though, he suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him.
"You... " Adam Noah was stunned, wanting to say something, but a sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen!
"Bang!"
Adam Noah was directly kicked and flown out by Jay Poe, heavily falling to the ground.
Immediately, a cold voice sounded, "Insulters, die!"
"I insulted ... What the hell are you still looking at? Beat him to death!" Adam endured the pain in his stomach and directly shouted at the bodyguards behind him.
Seven or eight bodyguards rushed in Jay Poe's direction upon hearing this.
Pete and the others quickly stepped aside, coldly looking at Ryan.
Ruth Mond, on the other hand, had a triumphant look on her face, hugging her shoulders and waiting to see Ryan's miserable end.
Six bodyguards rushed towards Jay Poe's direction, while the other two swung their fists towards Ryan.
Jay Poe's expression turned cold as he dove into the crowd.
Bang! Bang!
Bang!
The intense sound of collisions filled the air, while Ryan showed no intention of fighting back.
A disdainful smile appeared on Sophia's face.
After serving in the army for so many years, was he nothing more than this?
Sure enough, just as she had thought, her once high and mighty brother Ryan Haydn would now have to look up to her...
Sophia Larkin felt even more contemptuous in her heart.
Next to her, Ruth Mond was about to burst into laughter. This was the consequence of crossing her!
Soon, two bodyguards had already reached Ryan. Just as their fists were about to hit him, another figure suddenly appeared behind them.
In an instant, the two felt as if their bodies were lightened. They turned around and found that Jay Poe had lifted them forcefully!
Jay exerted all his strength and smashed the two bodyguards onto the ground!
Crackling!
It was the sound of bones breaking!
In an instant, the Larkin Family was startled. It was only now that they realized that all six bodyguards had already been taken care of by Jay!
Hiss!
The sound of inhaling cold air suddenly sounded. Even Adam wore a look of disbelief, staring at Jay in astonishment!
What... what kind of strength was this?
Others might not know, but they knew that the bodyguards Adam Noah brought were all professionally trained, and one person could handle seven or eight ordinary people.
But now...
"Pete Larkin, because you took care of my father, I won't look into today's matter. We will move out tonight, and from now on, we don't owe each other anything," Ryan said calmly, looking at Pete Larkin as if nothing had happened.
"Ryan Haydn! How shameless can you be? My father kindly gave the house to your father, and you beat my mother and still say we don't owe each other? Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you have a powerful subordinate! This is a place where law is upheld!" Sophia's disdain turned into anger, unable to hold back as she spoke out.
"You come out to criticize others without even understanding the situation. Is this the attitude of the Larkin Family's patriarch? Or should I say, is this the well-educated daughter you raised?" Without even looking at Sophia Larkin, Ryan directly asked Pete Larkin.
"My wife came to visit your father. It doesn't matter that you beat my wife, but now you also beat other people. Do you still think you're in the right?" Pete Larkin looked at Ryan coldly and asked.
"That's right! What do you mean by that? I came to visit your father kindly, and you beat me as soon as I came in, and now you blame me?" Ruth Mond, who was standing beside him, became anxious and quickly stood up to confront Ryan.
"Hmm?" Jay Poe turned his head, his fierce gaze directly staring at Ruth.
Ruth Mond, who had witnessed Jay's strength, felt tightness in her heart and subconsciously stepped back.
But as she moved, a few wads of cash hidden in her waist fell to the ground.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
