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?
