Chapter 681: Side Story 58: Do you even deserve it?
Charlotte Lane and Kevin Clark arrived at the location where Christopher Clark was being held, and Thomas Firway and Holt Lawrence’s men had already surrounded the periphery.
Alex Martin’s men were inside.
Both sides confronted each other.
The place was a two-story banquet hall.
The material from Holt Lawrence showed that Alex Martin had bought this place just a month ago.
It was just purchased, freshly renovated, and not yet open for business.
Kevin Clark, Charlotte Lane, and Jade Wood got out of the car, and Thomas Firway came over immediately: “Third Master, Sister.”
Thomas Firway looked at Jade Wood for a moment.
Jade Wood immediately said: “Uncle Thomas Firway.”
Thomas Firway had met Jade Wood early on. He was responsible for driving Christopher Clark to and from school and often saw the two of them together.
Occasionally, when no one picked Jade up from her home, he would also give her a ride.
Thomas Firway nodded in response and then turned to Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane: “Shall we make a move?”
As soon as his words fell, someone came out of the banquet hall.
He only stood inside the door and did not come out. He said to Charlotte Lane: “Miss Lane, our young master has invited you.”
Charlotte Lane glanced at him and then said to Thomas Firway: “You stay outside and take care of Jade Wood.”
Jade Wood moved her lips, wanting to say something, but not saying anything in the end. She stood next to Thomas Firway.
“Okay,” Thomas Firway agreed.
Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane walked together into the banquet hall.
But Kevin Clark was stopped: “Third Master, our young master only invited Miss Lane.”
Kevin Clark looked up at him.
The man lost his polite smile as soon as he met Kevin Clark’s gaze. Within the next second, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and was directly kicked out by Kevin Clark.
The people in the banquet hall immediately made a move, ready to attack.
Thomas Firway’s people were ready to accompany them any time.
Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane walked calmly into the banquet hall amidst the tense confrontation between the two sides, directly ascending to the second floor.
Second floor
Alex Martin sat at the round table, with tea on it, waiting for them with an easy-going demeanor: “Brook Sister, time was tight, so I only prepared some tea for you.”
“Where’s the person?” Charlotte Lane asked directly.
“Brook Sister, are you referring to Charles Amos or…” Alex Martin looked at her and said, “Christopher Clark?”
Although it is impossible to find information online, it is easy to find out that Charles Amos actually goes by the name Christopher Clark, as long as one spends enough time inquiring.
After all, it was under the name of Christopher Clark that he was enrolled in school.
However, having found out his real name, they still could not find any useful information.
From the name Christopher Clark alone, it was determined that he was a member of the Clark family’s current younger generation.
But whose child he was, they did not know.
” What’s the difference between the two?” Charlotte Lane asked.
“Brook Sister, please sit down.” Alex Martin completely ignored Kevin Clark’s presence, looking only at Charlotte Lane, “Let’s have a chat.”
“We can chat slowly, but first, let me see Christopher Clark.” Charlotte Lane said, “I need to confirm his safety.”
Alex Martin looked at Charlotte Lane.
“You sit here so calmly because you’re convinced that even if we bring people in, we won’t be able to make any waves, right?” Charlotte Lane spoke slowly, “So… let me see him. There’s no problem.”
Alex Martin smiled amiably at her, “Since Brook Sister has spoken, of course, we need to meet her requirements.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the person behind him.
The person behind him nodded and left.
Soon, Christopher Clark was brought out by them.
Four people still followed behind him.
His hands were handcuffed behind his back.
Charlotte Lane and Kevin Clark saw him, first scanning him up and down, and only after seeing that he was not injured they were slightly relieved.
Christopher Clark sneaked a smile at them.
And then received a cold glance from Kevin Clark.
“Now that you’ve seen him, Miss Lane, please sit down,” Alex Martin chuckled.
Charlotte Lane walked to the table and then looked at Christopher Clark.
With his hands cuffed behind his back, he met her gaze, and within two seconds, raised his eyebrows.
Kevin Clark stood in place, disdainfully looking at his grown-up son.
Charlotte Lane and Alex Martin met gazes, and while he was smiling gently, she bent down… and single-handedly flipped the table.
First came the sound of porcelain shattering, followed by the sound of the table smashing the chair, and finally, the dull thud of the table hitting the ground.
Alex Martin barely avoided being hit.
At the same time, Christopher Clark’s hands came out of the handcuffs, and he knocked down the two people next to him with a kick and a punch.
The people guarding the second floor all rushed into the room, and Kevin Clark dealt with them one by one.
Christopher Clark went to help, but Kevin Clark pulled him back: “Stay put.”
“Dad, let me practice.” Christopher Clark grinned.
Kevin Clark glanced at him after knocking down the person in front of him: “Be careful.”
“Mm.”
Meanwhile, those who were confronting each other downstairs heard the commotion upstairs and started fighting as well.
Upstairs, Kevin Clark and his son blocked all the attackers, while Charlotte Lane dealt with Alex Martin alone.
Alex Martin had always thought his martial arts skills were excellent, and he had never encountered any worthy opponents during his years of wandering outside.
Especially since Charlotte Lane was a woman, how powerful could she be?
But when they actually engaged in a fight, he realized what a huge gap there was between their skills.
At first, he could still handle Charlotte Lane’s attacks.
But soon, he was being beaten one-sidedly.
Charlotte Lane kicked him out, and Alex Martin slammed into a nearby display shelf.
All the stuff on it fell one by one, the sound of shattering echoing in the room.
“Young Master…” Alex Martin’s men saw him being beaten and wanted to rush over.
But all of them were knocked down by Kevin Clark.
Charlotte Lane stood in front of Alex Martin, waiting for him to stand up.
Her cold expression was like that looking down on ants, and her voice chilled people to the core: “I didn’t hurt you to save face for your family. But you had the audacity to lay hands on my family. Do you think your family can afford the price?”
“Brook, Brook Sister.” Alex Martin slowly stood up, wiping the blood from his face, “Sister Brook, I just wanted to meet you.”
“You’re not worthy.” Charlotte Lane moved forward and attacked again.
Thomas Firway and Holt Lawrence’s men charged in, causing the Chuinen family’s combat power to plummet.
Kevin Clark handed the remaining few men to Christopher Clark and then joined Charlotte Lane in beating up Alex Martin.
As husband and wife fought together, their coordination was impeccable.
Alex Martin kept getting up, only to be beaten down again, until he finally couldn’t get up anymore…
It really lived up to what Daniel Martin had said, he was thoroughly beaten to death…
