Revenge: General Parker's Last Stand

Chapter 9

Olivia leaned against Jonathan's chest and nodded weakly. She was utterly exhausted. But this embrace, for the first time in five years, brought her a warmth she had long forgotten. She wished time could stop so she could stay in this comforting embrace forever.

Without acknowledging Michael, Jonathan continued walking towards the car, intending to leave.

Feeling ignored, Michael was infuriated. He stepped forward and pressed the cold barrel of his gun to Jonathan's temple, shouting, "If you dare take her away, I'll blow your brains out!"

Michael realized Jonathan was the man Olivia had always been longing for! Because of this man, Olivia had repeatedly rejected him! He was the father of Ruby, that pesky little bastard!

Jonathan turned his head to give Michael a cold glare. "Try it."

Michael felt as if he was doused with ice water and started trembling uncontrollably. That glare felt deadly, as if Jonathan could kill him at any moment!

The words "Try it" echoed in his ears like a death sentence!

For the first time, Michael felt a profound fear. He took a few steps back, his voice quivering, "I'm the heir of the Roberts family! My father, Vincent Roberts, is one of Yonderville's four leading figures! If you dare touch me, you, this woman, and that little bastard in the hospital will all die!" Even as Michael spouted these words, doubt clouded his mind. He didn't understand why he was so afraid and why he had to bring up his father to threaten Jonathan. But a deep-rooted terror had taken hold, convincing him that if he didn't, he would die immediately!

Unaware of this, Olivia was filled with worry. She pleaded with Jonathan, "Jonathan, leave me here. If you don't, none of us will get out of here alive. You should leave and take care of Ruby. She's still in the hospital. She's waiting to see you."

At that moment, Olivia had resolved herself to die. Jonathan had returned and could take care of Ruby. So, even if she died, it didn't matter. She could finally close her eyes in peace, "Go back and take care of Ruby."

But as Olivia struggled to get up, Jonathan held her tighter. He chuckled softly, "Don't worry. I've had Ruby taken to a safe place."

Upon hearing this, Olivia's tears flowed more freely. She sobbed with excitement, "Really? Oh, thank goodness!"

"Die! Just die!" Michael was growing increasingly anger. He couldn't stand it any longer. He was not only feeling threatened by Jonathan's words but also enraged by their insolence.

Just as Michael was about to pull the trigger, he found his arm bent at a sharp angle, and the gun was suddenly in Jonathan's hand!

"Ah!" Michael screamed in agony and clutched his broken arm. He trembled and stared at Jonathan, bewildered at how he had been incapacitated so swiftly.

"Don't kill me! My father is Vincent Roberts! I'll give you money! A million or ten million! I'll give you anything you want! Just spare me!" Michael cried. The dozen men Michael had brought stood paralyzed with fear. They were professional bodyguards, but Jonathan's speed had left them no chance to act!

Jonathan's gaze remained cold. With one arm around Olivia's shoulder, he aimed the gun in his other hand at Michael. "You deserve to die!"

"No... Don't... He's the heir of the Roberts family! We can't afford to provoke them! Let's go!" Olivia was worried that Jonathan might kill Michael in a fit of rage and cause even more trouble, so she tried to stop him. Jonathan, however, kept his aim steady on Michael!

He frantically shouted to his bodyguards, "Attack! Protect me! Whoever kills him gets ten million dollars! No, one hundred million dollars!" Michael backed away in panic, shouting desperately. Hearing a hundred million dollars, the bodyguards, who weren't afraid of death, finally rushed forward.

Several bodyguards charged at Jonathan, but before they could pull the trigger, Jonathan kicked one of them in the chest, sending him flying ten meters and crashing into a Bentley. The car's front crumpled with a loud bang!

Every bodyguard that dared to approach Jonathan met a similar fate!

Seeing his men falling, Michael swallowed hard, his forehead beaded with sweat. He turned to run!

But with a swift kick, Jonathan sent the knife Olivia had dropped flying. It pinned Michael's right leg to the ground!

"Ah! No! Don't come near me!" Michael screamed, lying in a pool of blood and clutching his bleeding leg. He was beyond terrified as Jonathan approached him like a grim reaper.

Jonathan walked slowly. His intent was clear: he wanted Michael dead! Michael had almost killed Ruby and Olivia. He couldn't let him live!

But Jonathan couldn't let Michael die easily. That would be too merciful. Jonathan wanted the entire Roberts family to pay dearly. They would face the wrath of a five-star general!

"No! Jonathan, please, don't act rashly!" Olivia was filled with worry, used all her strength to hold onto Jonathan, and said anxiously with her red eyes, "He's the heir of the Roberts family, and his father Vincent is a powerful man in Yonderville! Even if we escape today, it will be hard to live in Yonderville in the future! Please, let him go! I don't want you or Ruby to get hurt."

Jonathan paused and said calmly, "Olivia, even if I let him go, he won't spare us. Trust me, I can handle this."

After he finished speaking, Jonathan gently touched Olivia's head. This small action made her feel incredibly reassured, and she didn't say anything more.

Jonathan turned, stepped towards the crawling Michael, and pulled the knife from his leg.

At that moment, Michael saw a glimmer of hope. He desperately crawled away, screaming in a frenzy.

But Jonathan swiftly swung the knife, and it pierced Michael's limbs. Then, Jonathan picked up a steel nail from the ground and ruthlessly nailed Michael to the ground!

"Ah! How dare you do this to me! You'll regret this! You, that woman, and your daughter will all suffer terribly!" Michael cried. His bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred and fear, and his face was distorted with fury and pain. He trembled, as even a slight movement caused the steel nail to pierce his flesh.

Olivia covered her eyes, not daring to look. Jonathan was torturing Michael, and although she felt pleased, this meant they had completely offended the Roberts family! She shook her head and kept urging, "Jonathan, that's enough, that's enough! Let's go! We've caused such a commotion, the Roberts family should be here soon. If we didn't leave soon, we would be in trouble!"

Hearing this, Jonathan was stunned and silent, looking at Olivia who kept pushing him away. As a five-star general, he didn't fear the Roberts family. He could easily destroy them if he wished!

"Please!" Overwhelmed and exhausted, Olivia suddenly screamed in pain and collapsed.

Jonathan caught her immediately. "Olivia, are you okay?"

Olivia's voice was growing faint. She begged, "Go, please! I don't want Ruby to lose her father..."

Just then, a blaring horn sounded from a distance. "Let him go! How dare you harm my nephew! I'll kill you!"

Suddenly, from all directions around Platinum Hotel, a dozen black trucks stormed in. Over a hundred men armed with long knives and baseball bats jumped out, led by a middle-aged man in a black trench coat smoking a pipe.
