Chapter 7 A Deity Descending From Heaven

  • In a minute, Finneas covered dozens of kilometers.
  • To avoid trouble, he landed about three or four hundred meters from home and then slowly walked back, carrying his large shopping bags.
  • However, after a few steps, he heard the roar of engines coming from the direction of his house!
  • “Is that the sound of excavators?”
  • Finneas' expression changed.
  • From Alyssa and Kelly's previous conversation, it was clear that the relocation issue was more complicated than he had imagined.
  • This suggested that someone might be forcefully demolishing their home with Alyssa and Kelly still inside!
  • They were merely young ladies.
  • At that moment, Finneas' expression was chillingly cold.
  • The killing intent emanating from him seemed to darken the sky around him.
  • Very well! I haven't even sought you out, and you dare come knocking on my door! Do you really not know what it means to court death?
  • Everyone had a bottom line. For Finneas, it was his little sister, Alyssa!
  • Meanwhile, in front of the dilapidated small house, two yellow excavators were parked.
  • A dozen burly men stood by the excavators, leering at the two young girls standing in their way, spewing all sorts of vile words.
  • “Young and beautiful with slender waists. These two young girls are quite the catch!”
  • “Haha... you wouldn't get this kind for less than three or four thousand!”
  • “Three or four thousand? You're dreaming! If they're virgins, at least ten thousand to start!”
  • “I heard they're university students, tsk tsk... University students are good at this!”
  • Hearing the filthy words from the hooligans, Alyssa and Kelly turned red with anger but were helpless.
  • They didn't even dare to talk back, fearing it would provoke the men further.
  • “Little girls, get out of the way! If the house collapses and crushes your frail bodies, it would break our hearts!” the middle-aged man leading them said mockingly.
  • His eyes roamed over Alyssa and Kelly, filled with undisguised lust. He looked just like a hungry wolf.
  • “No way! The relocation compensation hasn't been settled yet. What you're doing is illegal! I've already called the police. Just wait and see!” Kelly said, spreading her arms to shield Alyssa like a protective mother hen.
  • “Oh, calling the police? I'm so scared!”
  • The middle-aged man melodramatically clutched his chest, putting on a show of being terribly frightened.
  • Subsequently, he turned his gaze to his subordinates behind him, saying, “Did you hear that? She said she's called the police!”
  • “Hahaha...”
  • “Call the police? That really scared us!”
  • His men laughed mockingly, their derision obvious.
  • “H-Hey!”
  • Kelly was so angry her face turned red, but she didn't know what else to say.
  • As a young girl, how could she possibly stand a chance against such local ruffians?
  • At that moment, Alyssa exhaled a deep breath and said with a pale face, “Kelly, this has nothing to do with you. You should go.”
  • “No way! What will you do if I leave you alone?” Kelly shook her head, looking worried.
  • “Kelly, your presence here is useless and will only get you in trouble!” Alyssa said with a bitter smile.
  • Kelly gritted her teeth, feeling a sense of helplessness.
  • These people were clearly prepared and had probably smoothed things out behind the scenes.
  • She never imagined that one day she would encounter the kind of forced demolition she only heard about in the news.
  • “I don't have time to waste with you two. Move!”
  • After a glance at the time, the middle-aged man leading the group had clearly run out of patience.
  • “This is my home. I won't let you touch it!” Alyssa said resolutely, but her trembling body showed how terrified she truly was.
  • “Really? I've seen plenty of people like you who don't value their lives. Do you think I care?”
  • The middle-aged man sneered, waving his hand.
  • “Someone, take these two girls aside. If they resist, beat them!”
  • “Yes, Grover!”
  • Two thugs stepped forward, grinning as they approached Alyssa and Kelly, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
  • It was normal for them to touch the ladies when they were moving the ladies out of the way, right?
  • Seeing this, Kelly stepped back in fear, while Alyssa looked desperate.
  • She felt a chill enveloping her entire body.
  • She wished for a hero to save and help her out of this crisis!
  • For some reason, Finneas' face suddenly popped into her mind.
  • If he were here, would he stand up for me? Probably not! So many people came this time! Even if he were here, he'd probably stand aside in fear. Besides, he isn't a good person! If he were, why would he have left home for ten years for a woman?
  • As the sleazy men got closer, Alyssa picked up a brick from the ground, gripping it tightly.
  • Even if she had to die, she would defend her dignity.
  • But just then, a voice cold as ice reached everyone's ears. “If you two take another step, you'll die!”
  • The voice was bone-chilling, making everyone shiver.
  • Who is it?
  • Everyone turned to see a young man with long flowing hair, stubble, and a melancholic expression.
  • “F-Finn...”
  • Alyssa's gaze was unfocused.
  • She had just been wondering if Finneas would stand up for her, and here he was, walking toward her without hesitation.
  • “Um... The guy here to take a dump?”
  • Kelly covered her mouth, staring at Finneas who appeared as if a deity had descended from the heavens. She found it utterly unbelievable.
  • As for the seven or eight ruffians in the scene, after a brief moment of confusion, they quickly gathered their wits.
  • Their faces turned red not from fear, but from anger.
  • D*mn it! There are so many of us, and we almost got scared by a single guy? A long-haired one, no less? An artist?
  • “D*mn it, are you out of your mind? Get lost, now!”
  • “So what if I take another step? What can you do to me? D*mb*ss!”
  • The two underlings cursed.
  • Both of them were closing in on Alyssa and Kelly, eager to get their hands on them. Naturally, they were p*ssed off after getting scared by Finneas' warning.
  • Upon seeing this, Grover and his group all revealed knowing smiles.
  • His face devoid of expressions, Finneas walked up to the two underlings.
  • “What's your problem? You think you can play hero?”
  • “Move, you're in our way.”
  • Crack!
  • In the next moment, Finneas grabbed the two underlings by their necks with his hands, lifting them effortlessly.
  • No matter how they struggled, they were like helpless chicks.
  • “This...”
  • Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present was shocked.
  • These were two burly men, each weighing over eighty kilograms. And yet, they were effortlessly hoisted with just one hand.
  • How much strength would that take?
  • Alyssa's expression was complex.
  • Where had Finneas been in the past ten years? How did he suddenly become so powerful?
