Chapter 7 First Time Meeting Father-in-Law
- Gale swiftly kicked the security guard's thigh, causing him to howl in pain.
- "Are you ... are you ...
- "Are you even a person? Using such sneaky methods!"
- The security guard exclaimed in agony.
- Gale shrugged in frustration.
- "Huh! You outnumbered me and started this, yet you dare accuse me of playing dirty?
- "Where's your dignity?
- "You shameless lot!" Gale retorted.
- Following that, he landed another kick on the guard's thigh.
- The guard winced in agony.
- "Get him!"
- "D*mn it, bring him down!"
- Observing their colleague in pain, the other two guards proceeded to throw punches at Gale's face.
- Thud!
- Gale grabbed the backs of their necks and forcefully smashed their heads together, creating a loud crack.
- Firmly believing that a strong sound makes for a good outcome, he struck again!
- The two guards were left battered and bruised, their vision blurred, their anger rising!
- "Are you mad?
- "Are you losing control?
- "Why did you provoke me?"
- The remaining guard, writhing in pain, looked at Gale with fear and backed away.
- "You created a chaos at the entrance, essentially insulting the Wheeler family!
- "If the Wheeler family decides to handle you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!"
- The guard shouted frantically.
- "Alright, alright!
- "Everyone on the street can hear you, no need to show off to me."
- Gale patted his shoulder with a hint of regret.
- However, this only intensified the guard's anger.
- He seized the walkie-talkie and called for backup, "There's trouble at the entrance. Send more personnel right away! This guy is very skilled. The three of us can't handle him."
- "Hello, can you hear me? I'm Gale Bush. Quickly get my father-in-law to come out and fetch me."
- Gale grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled into it.
- Is someone stirring up trouble?
- The entire manor's security team sprang into action immediately.
- More than ten guards, armed to the teeth, hurried out.
- "You there, put your hands on your head and get on your knees right now, or we'll have to use force and take you to the authorities!" the security guards threatened, aiming their batons and riot forks at Gale.
- "Hey guys, where's my father-in-law?"
- Gale ignored the weapons and asked.
- The guard who had been kicked earlier looked furious.
- "I'll be straight with you! If we touch you, it's because the Wheeler family ordered it! They told us to rough up any rude intruders and send them to the hospital!"
- Gale examined his clothes.
- He obviously didn't match the description.
- Surely, they had confused me with someone else, right?
- One of the security guards shouted loudly, "Brothers, teach him a lesson!"
- "You all stop!"
- An authoritative voice echoed through the air.
- An elderly man in his seventies rushed over.
- His complexion was pale, dotted with dark spots that come with age.
- "Old Mr. Wheeler."
- Everyone saluted immediately.
- "Why haven't you put away your weapons?"
- Caleb Wheeler's voice was firm yet kind.
- "But, Old Mr. Wheeler, this person caused trouble at the entrance and even hurt our men ... "
- The security guards rushed to clarify.
- "What does it matter if he hurt someone?
- "He's my grandson-in-law!"
- Caleb declared with indignation.
- Although they hadn't met face-to-face, Gianna had sent him photographs. Gale's appearance was remarkable, like a figure out of legend, which delighted him.
- Moreover, he was the only disciple of Lorrenvia's Wonder Doctor!
- With such an illustrious status, he was bound to garner countless admirers!
- If these people ruin his family's marriage plans, he'll be absolutely livid!
- "Grandson-in-law?"
- The security guards looked bewildered yet wary.
- Gale nodded confidently.
- But then he suddenly realised something wasn't right.
- In a rush to clarify his intentions, he blurted out, "Old Mr. Wheeler, I'm here to break off the engagement. I never intended to become your grandson-in-law ... "
- Caleb's mind exploded with confusion, leaving him momentarily speechless.
- Oh no!
- This is really bad!
- "Gale, these people have disrespected you. I'll handle them. You've come all this way. Come inside and have dinner first. Nora has been waiting for you at home.
- "If there's anything, let's talk inside. Is that okay?"
- Caleb humbly requested.
