Chapter 578
“W-what? Where is he now?” replied Roseanne as she trembled in shock. “Follow me!” The group of girls then ran after her immediately. When they arrived at the scene, Roseanne saw both Harper and Benjamin bleeding profusely on the ground. “Brother!” “Roseanne! I’m fine but those people… They were ruthless!” Though Harper was used to fighting, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear as he replayed the scene from earlier in his mind. When the group of men started beating them up, the duo had naturally tried to fight back. However, Dante was able to lift them with just one hand. After receiving a swift kick from Dante, Harper felt his world turn black. The same went for Benjamin. Neither of them ever stood a fighting chance, and both of them ended up being beaten up badly. “Who’s responsible for this? I’m calling the police right now!” cried out Roseanne. Before she could do so, Harper grabbed her hand first. “Call Gerald, I think those people were after him instead!”

While this was happening, Gerald had just found out about Harper and Benjamin’s situation from Roseanne. After hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the hospital. “What happened?” asked Gerald anxiously as soon as he saw the duo. Both of them had been severely beaten up. “We don’t know much either! We were beaten up by a group of men that we’ve never met before. They seem to be coming for you, so be careful!” replied Harper. Gerald was surprised to hear that. Coming for him? “Who could possibly want to beat me up?” “Brother Gerald, one of our classmates informed us that the one who had instructed the men to beat Harper and Benjamin up was a girl from our department! Her name is apparently Natasha and she’s very domineering!” “What?! Natasha?!” Gerald was now even more surprised. Based on what Harper and Benjamin had told him, the group of men wasn’t ordinary gangsters or thugs. Not only were they skillful in fighting, they had also arrived in Maybach cars! All this h

“We’ve already approached them about the matter. However, they refused to admit to having any part of this!” replied Zack. Whatever the case was, Gerald knew that the top priority now was for him to personally meet up with Xavia so that they could talk things over clearly. “Take good care of them and keep an eye on my two buddies as well. I’ll handle the rest immediately!” replied Gerald. Since all this was happening because of him, he needed to deal with it personally. He wasn’t really afraid of the Long family. To be honest, if the matter was truly urgent, he could just mobilize and use his family’s biggest weapon. Even if the Long family from Yanken was very powerful, Gerald would be able to take them down indiscriminately. However, no matter what the case was, Gerald had already summarized that Xavia only became this heartless and distorted since he had treated her the same way in the past. There was no use crying over spilled milk. In order to proceed, he would first

Though Gerald was aware that the incident had a huge impact on Xavia, he never once thought that it would almost end her life. “That was the worst and darkest day in my sister’s entire life. And it’s all because of you, the infamous peasant! You’re well aware, I’m sure, that everyone looked down on you and nobody would even talk to you back then. Nobody except for my sister. She would hold your hand in school, go shopping together, and even dine out with you! But did you ever consider that doing all that with you would affect how everyone looked at her?” “Hey, hey! Everyone, look! It’s Xavia Yorke! The girlfriend of our school’s biggest peasant!” “That was what everyone was calling her back then. Despite that, she persevered and ignored the mockery just because she wanted to be with you. However, every girl has their self-esteem and one day my sister just couldn’t take it anymore. She felt that she was being treated unjustly and yes, it was the day she broke up with you!” “But

“Humph! That’s enough talk, get him!” ordered Natasha. As soon as they received the order, the men in black immediately obeyed and held on tightly to both of Gerald’s arms. “When will the revenge end?” asked Gerald calmly. “Honestly, I don’t even know when we’ll ever stop but that’s beside the point. Don’t even dream of leaving this room tonight!” sneered Natasha. “Is that so? Actually, Natasha, did your sister ever tell you that this street used to be called Mayberry Commercial Street? And that the bosses of these shops all know who I am?” “Of course she has! But did you know that my sister’s bought this bar? The bar’s boss is just my little b*tch now! Bet you didn’t think that far ahead, did you?” replied Natasha proudly before walking toward him and giving him a tight slap on the face. “That’s for my sister. You’ve made her suffer for far too long. Today, I’m letting you have a taste of what she experienced after all this time!” Natasha was going to look for him even if

“I-I don’t know where she is! She only came to the school to visit me once. Other than that, we’ve only communicated through the phone!” cried out Natasha. “Call her then!” ordered Gerald. He had to meet up and deal with Xavia as soon as he could. Gerald couldn’t have her troubling him all the time. ‘If I’ve done anything wrong to you, take your revenge on me! Your mistake was hurting those close to me,’ Gerald thought to himself. He just couldn’t stand people like that. As Natasha reached for her phone, she kept signaling to her subordinates—using her eyes—to take down Gerald and the duo. However, none of the guards even dared to move. They all knew how strong Gerald’s people were so they didn’t do anything. Only people like Scorpion would be able to deal with Tyson and Drake. Understanding that they weren’t going to act, Natasha could only hand over her phone to Gerald in defeat. Gerald quickly found Xavia’s numb
Chapter 584
Back then, Gerald knew little about Maia aside from the fact that she was the team captain. The only other things he knew was that she was very close to her grandfather and her parents were in politics. This resulted in her growing up in a rather lavish environment. He also knew that while she and her family were locals, after the final examination, all of them moved to Mayberry. Though Gerald was excellent in his studies, he was never good enough for Maia. She would only talk to him as the captain whenever they were representing the school in a competition. Outside that, they weren’t close at all. Gerald on the other hand, had a very good impression of her since she was both hardworking and capable. To top it off, she was also very pretty and she had good tastes too. In short, she was a goddess to his past self. Many guys had tried to befriend her but she would only befriend those who had their own ‘specialties’. Such ‘specialties’ included either being rich or having a po

She gestured with a finger for him to come closer. Gerald really didn’t want to go over to them after being ordered like that. After all, he was no longer the same person he used to be. He didn’t need to listen to her orders anymore. He remembered snippets where she would order him to do things like this in the past. “Gerald, have you moved those boxes of mineral water?” “Gerald, go help everyone else with their luggage!” …Maybe that was why Maia was so used to ordering him around. Eventually, though he was left speechless, he found himself walking toward the group. “Haha! So it really is true! Gerald really listens to you!” “As if he would dare not to! Not only was she his team captain in high school, she’s now a cop too! He has to listen or he’ll be locked up!” joked another girl. “Anyway, say Gerald, I heard that you’re still pretty poor. How did you afford to drink at this bar? Did you get rich or something?” asked Maia. She had been curious about this from the mo
