All of them—Lucas, Xante, Aaron, and Sunny—clenched their fists when they heard that. They could not stand by and do
nothing anymore, so they all rushed into the yard.
However, a figure suddenly appeared before them after they had only taken a few steps. They were first alarmed by the
newcomer but then became shocked when they saw who it was.
“I’ll take care of them,” said the newcomer. After that, he strode over to the small metal gate and kicked it open, surprising the
seven or eight men eating and drinking.
“Are... Aren’t you supposed to be dead? Are... Are you a ghost?” stammered one of them in shock.
“Where’s my wife?” asked Jeremy with a death glare.
“We don’t know who your wife is! Men, capture him! The boss will be happy to see him, I’m sure,” said one of them.
Jeremy kicked over their grill, and some of the charcoal splashed onto the kidnappers’ body and face, causing them to scream
out in pain. After they calmed down, they rushed over to attack Jeremy.
That was when Lucas, Aaron, Xante, and Sunny rushed out to fight them too. After they had defeated them, Xante pushed up
her gold-rimmed glasses before bending down to pick up one of the kidnappers by the collar.
“Tell us! Where’s the pregnant lady you guys kidnapped?”
The kidnapper coughed up a mouthful of blood, revealing a toothless gap in his mouth, before answering, “She... She’s inside!”
Xante flung him inside and gave him a kick to the head, causing him to pass out, before walking toward the shabby little
bungalow.
Jeremy quickly walked toward the bungalow after he had taken care of the two kidnappers in front of him.
Xante opened the door cautiously, fearing she might be ambushed. She then saw Corinne riding on top of the silver-haired man
and pulling on his collar.
“Tell me where Jeremy is now!” she screamed into his face.
The silver-haired man’s face was beaten to a pulp, and his limbs looked like they had been broken by Corinne, so he could not
fight back at all.
The moment he turned, Corinne used the random object lying around to knock him out. She then beat him senselessly when he
woke up.
“Hahaha! He’s dead! He was killed in an explosion, remember?” insisted the silver-haired man.
“You’re lying! He can’t be dead! Tell me where he is now, or I’ll kill you!” screamed Corinne.
The silver-haired man’s eyes were so swollen by that point that he could not even open them. He coughed up some blood and
laughed maniacally.
“You won’t be able to bring him back from the dead even if you kill me. Don’t you know the police have hauled his dead *ss body
away? Hahahaha! Is it really worth it for you to go crazy for a dead person?”
Corinne’s eyes were already bloodshot with anger. “D*mn you, you b*stard! I curse your whole family! You’re not even worthy
enough to say Jeremy’s name! Give him back to me! Give him back to me!”
She punched his head again, causing his ears to ring. It took him a while to recover, but when he did, he gritted his teeth and
said, “He’s dead, you crazy woman! No matter how much you beat me up, he’s dead, and he’ll never come back!”
Corinne was shaking by then. She had been trying to suppress her grief the moment she heard the news, but she could not hold
it back anymore—she broke down right there and then.
She could not accept that Jeremy was gone from the world. Even though she had many times tried to cut ties with him, she
never once wished him dead.
