Chapter 4
“Who the hell are you, you dog? Stop meddling in things that aren’t your business!” Cole Bruce glanced at Mandy March indifferently, completely ignoring her.
“Behind me stands the Jales Group. Burgess Jales, the second son of the Jales family, is actually my brother-in-law. I advise you to stay out of this. Otherwise, you might bring trouble upon yourself!”
When Cole Bruce saw that Mandy March showed no signs of backing down, he brought up his backer once again, hoping to intimidate her with that.
“The Jars family? Is that so remarkable?”
A sardonic smile played on Mandy March’s lips. Forget about the small Jars family in Wales. With her current status and the risks she faced, even the world’s most powerful families would have to give way to her.
“It seems you don’t know how to appreciate kindness. Then today, I’ll make sure you’re completely useless too!”
Cole Bruce clearly had no idea who this young man in front of him really was. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, ordering his underlings to go and kill Mandy March.
“
“Mage?”
Mel Duncan, who was standing nearby, glanced at Mandy March. Mandy March nodded coldly: “They’re all useless.”
As soon as Mandy March said those words, Mel Duncan suddenly rushed forward. His seemingly slender body unleashed incredible strength, and with one punch, he sent a thug flying backward.
A shrill scream echoed through the residential area. Yet, what happened next was even more shocking.
Mel Duncan acted like a hungry wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep—reckless and brutal in his attacks! No one who crossed his path could withstand even a single move from him.
In just a few breaths, Mel Duncan knocked Cole Bruce’s underlings to the ground one by one. Each of them had their limbs broken and twisted into grotesque angles.
,,
The quiet residential area had turned into a hellhole, filled with agonizing screams everywhere. At that moment, Cole Bruce was terrified, his face pale, as he stood there trembling.
He had never met anyone as fierce as Mel Duncan. It was a ruthless demeanor, treating human lives as worthless. Every move he made was meant to kill. Even though Cole Bruce had spent years in the underworld, he had never encountered anyone quite so terrifying.
“,
“You can’t touch me! Burgess Jars of the Jars family is my brother-in-law. If you dare to hurt me, the entire Jars family will hunt you down!” Cole Bruce shouted at Mandy March, his voice trembling with fear. He was completely terrified.
“
“Just now, you used your right hand to hit Uncle Craig, didn’t you?” Mandy March ignored Cole Bruce’s threats and simply raised her eyes to ask calmly.
A flicker of terror passed through Cole Bruce’s eyes. But Mel Duncan, standing nearby, was ready to act. Without saying a word, he kicked Cole Bruce to the ground. Then, under Cole’s terrified gaze, he stepped on his right hand and broke it.
“Ah…”
Cries as agonized as those of a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the residential area. Many neighbors who happened to be nearby turned pale with fear.
However, Mandy March remained expressionless. She raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked at Cole Bruce, who was curled up on the ground. She said slowly, “Your mouth isn’t clean either!”
As soon as Mandy March said those words, Cole Bruce was in such agony he could barely stay awake. Yet, he managed to overcome the severe pain in his right hand and crawled backward with all his might. But Mel Duncan wouldn’t let him get away.
Mel Duncan casually picked up a branch from the ground, shoved it forcefully into Cole Bruce’s mouth, and then started stirring around violently. Soon, muffled screams could be heard intermittently. Many neighbors in the area were too scared to even open their eyes at that moment.
Cole Bruce was covered in blood and broken teeth. He lay limp on the ground, like an old man on his deathbed. He kept moaning, but the unbearable pain kept his nerves awake, preventing him from falling into a coma.
“……
“…The Jars family… The Jars family will definitely not let you go. You’re… dead. Your entire family will die too!”
Cole Bruce stared with blood-red eyes, his gaze filled with malice and hatred. He shouted unclear threats.
Mr. Craig, who had witnessed the entire scene, couldn’t sit still. He stepped forward, trembling, and took Mandy March’s hand.
“Mandy, leave us alone and run away! Ryan Jars definitely won’t let you go. Please run!”
“,
“Don’t worry, Uncle Craig. As long as I’m around, no one will dare to hurt you in the slightest!”
Mandy March smiled gently, patted Uncle Craig on the back to comfort him, then helped him into the dilapidated cabin.
“Mage, what should they do with them?”
Mel Duncan stood at the door like a gatekeeper, looking at Mandy March for instructions.
“,
“They’re just a bunch of puny little fish. The real big fish are the Jars family! I demand a reasonable explanation for what happened today!” Mandy March gave Mel Duncan a cold look. Mel Duncan immediately nodded.
“
“Uncle Craig, what on earth happened here? How did the house come to be in such a state?” As she helped Old Craig inside, Mandy March frowned and looked around. The home, which she remembered as cozy, was now in a dilapidated condition, almost like a completely empty house.
“,
“Ah, Mandy, it’s too complicated to explain in just a few words!”
Mr. Craig let out a sigh and recounted the events of those years in detail.
It turned out that five years after Mandy March left, her adoptive mother, Auntie Craig, fell seriously ill. The Craig family, which already had limited financial resources, was completely overwhelmed by this situation.
,
In order to afford his wife’s medical treatment, Mr. Craig went around asking people for loans. Soon, he had borrowed all the money he could. Yet, his wife’s condition didn’t improve. With no other options left, he resorted to borrowing money at usurious rates.
Later, Mandy March’s adoptive mother, Auntie Craig, began to recover. The Craig family, father and daughter, had worked hard for over two years to pay off the usurious loans. But then, even greater disaster awaited them.
It turns out that Burgess Jars of the Jars family had a crush on Molly Craigie, Mr. Craigie’s daughter. So, he tried to sabotage things by constantly harassing her.
This Burgess Jars is a notorious playboy in Wales, with extremely perverted tastes. None of the women he’s been with have gone unharmed! Old Mr. Craig refused to push his daughter into that hellhole. After several rejections, Burgess Jars became furious, and that’s how Craig got into trouble.
Cole Bruce, who practiced usury, was actually Burgess Jars’s brother-in-law. To please his brother-in-law, Cole Bruce falsely accused them of not paying back a single penny. He kept coming to their house to cause trouble, and even emptied their home. Recently, he threatened to kill them unless Old Mr. Craig handed over his daughter.
“,
“Heh, what a remarkable Jars family!”
Mandy March sneered upon hearing this. A cold, murderous glint flashed in her eyes. She never expected so many things to have happened during her years away!
“
“Mage, someone has arrived outside. It seems to be someone from the Jars family!” Just then, Mel Duncan, who had been waiting outside the door, knocked on the door and reported.
“The Jars family, huh? It seems we need to settle the accounts properly!”
