Chapter 3
“Of course, your little sister will definitely kick the bucket after you. Now, let us fellows take a moment to
revel in our leisure.”
As soon as those words left his lips, an eerie silence descended upon the scene.
Several light sounds rang out as these individuals simultaneously drew glistening knives. Their eyes
were filled with contempt as they gazed at Gavin.
Observing the grim turn of events, Gavin offered a comforting pat on his sister Zoe’s back. He guided
her gently behind his protective stance. Maintaining a safe distance, he addressed the group that stood
before him.
He asked in a cold tone of voice. “Why do you want to kill the Clifford family?”
“Why?” After hearing what Gavin asked, the thin man across from Gavin, with his lips curling into a
mocking smirk, couldn’t help but chuckle.
With a sinister tone, he replied, “Hah. The Clifford family is nothing but dirty vermin, wasting air in this
world. Of course, you deserve to die.
“You should have seen the spectacle when we wiped out the Clifford family back then. Hearing the
desperate screams of the Clifford family was truly satisfying.
“Haha…”
The demise of the Clifford family seemed to bring an inexplicable, sadistic pleasure to these
individuals. Obviously, he was enjoying this beautiful moment. At that moment, a man with black-
rimmed glasses and a sly expression spoke up with a wicked smile on his face.
He asked, “By the way, isn’t today Samuel’s birthday?
“We happen to encounter the last two remnants of the Clifford family. If we kill them and bring their
heads as a birthday gift to Samuel, he will surely reward us handsomely, won’t he?
This remark earned approval from many people in the group. They all thought that what he said made
sense.
But the thin man added, “Let us not rush ahead of ourselves. First, let us kill Gavin. Then, we can savor
some amusement with Zoc.
“Haha…”
Their words made it sound like Gavin and Zoe were already helpless victims to be casually butchered.
After Gavin heard their words and saw their mocking smiles, his anger surged uncontrollably.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis fury was so intense that it seemed to manifest physically, causing even his hair to bristle.
Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion resonated through the air.
Zoe’s heart raced as she scanned the scene. She noticed Gavin, who had been guarding in front of
her, had disappeared. At that moment, he charged swiftly toward the group of people who had
gleaming knives.
After observing this sudden turn of events, she cried out with a mixture of fear and concern, “Gavin! Be
careful!”
But the next moment, her voice came to an abrupt stop.
She noticed that Gavin surged into the heart of the group, which numbered over a dozen. Her heart
skipped a beat. A sense of foreboding crept into her heart because she knew that there might be very
severe consequences.
However, instead of being surrounded and beaten by them, he met something entirely unexpected.
At that moment, thudding sounds echoed.
More than a dozen people attacking Gavin were sent flying. They spewed blood from both their mouths
and noses.
In the blink of an eye, the entire group lay lifeless on the ground.
After seeing what happened, Zoe was left dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but wonder how her brother
had become so formidable.
Only one member of the group remained alive. It was the bald man who had suffered severe bone
fractures earlier. Though he was not dead yet, his end was near.
At that moment, Gavin approached the bald man step by step. His facial expression remained calm,
but his entire being was giving off an intimidating aura.
The bald man looked at Gavin with a terrified expression. His face was pale and covered in blood.
He couldn’t hide his fear as he exclaimed, “Please don’t kill me!”
The primal instinct to survive drove the bald man to speak, despite his grievous injuries.
As Gavin stood beside the bald man, he looked down at him with cold eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce
through the bald
man.
However, Gavin remained silent, his expression devoid of any warmth. With difficulty, the bald man
continued to speak amid the blood oozing from his mouth and nose.
The bald man said, “The Clifford family’s affairs have nothing to do with me. I’m just… following orders.
It was Xavier who instructed me to do it. You need to believe me,”
Suddenly, a light sound could be heard.)
The bald man’s voice was cut off abruptly.
When Gavin heard the bald man mention Xavier, he lifted his right foot and brought it down mercilessly
upon the man’s face.
Instantly, the bald man’s head exploded.
As Zoe watched this ghastly scene unfold from a distance, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of nausea
clawing at her stomach.
She was just a young girl. As she witnessed such a gruesome sight, it naturally triggered her physical
reaction.
However, there was no trace of sympathy in her eyes. She understood all too well that these individuals
deserved to die.
At that moment, she composed herself and turned her gaze back to her beloved brother, Gavin.
She noticed that he was trembling all over, and his breathing was erratic. After seeing that, she couldn’t
help but feel worried.
Without hesitation, she took small, hurried steps toward her brother..
Gavin was overwhelmed with rage, and his mind was filled with a single word. It was Xavier.
His desire for vengeance was almost uncontrollable.
Suddenly, he felt a gentle, cold sensation in the palm of his hand.
In the next instant, Gavin’s body trembled slightly, and his gaze regained its clarity.
After that, he saw his sister. Her face was filled with concern. After Gavin saw that, warmth welled up in
his heart. It was a sensation he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
After that, Gavin’s heart calmed down.
He turned and embraced his sister. At that moment, the siblings stood there quietly and enjoyed a brief
moment of tranquility together.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Gavin realized that Zoe’s breathing had become even
and tranquil.
He realized that Zoe had actually fallen asleep in his arms.
He gazed down at his slumbering sister. Zoe’s delicate features were now adorned with a glistening
tear at the corner of her eye. At that moment, she wore a peaceful smile on her face.
Seeing that, Gavin gently touched Zoe’s little face with concern.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a while, he bent down and gently carried Zoe. After that, he began to make his way toward the
direction of the Clifford
Villa.
However, the place was already a wasteland. Gavin couldn’t find a single intact bed or a room without
leaks.
In one corner, he found a dirty blanket and some expired canned food.
After Gavin saw that. It dawned on him that his sister had been enduring hardship in this corner of
desolation.
After that, his heartache and anger couldn’t be contained any longer.
His body trembled slightly, and a tear traced its path down his cheek.
Coincidentally, this tear landed on Zoe’s face, stirring her from her slumber. Zoe hastily opened her
eyes.
She realized she was lying quietly in her brother’s arms.
Zoe was slightly relieved. She then nervously spoke up.
She asked, “Gavin, what’s the matter with you?”
After hearing Zoe’s voice, Gavin quickly wiped the tears from his face. He took a deep breath and
reassured her. He said, “I’m fine.”
After that, he gently placed Zoe back on the ground and looked into her eyes with warmth.
He said, “Zoe, just wait here for me. I have to step out for a short while, but I promise I will be back
soon.”
After hearing what Gavin said, Zoe held Gavin’s hand anxiously and pleaded, “Gavin, please don’t
leave me. Are you going away again?”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. It seemed that they were ready to fall once more.
But Gavin shook his head and said, “No need to worry, Zoe. I won’t leave you again.”
After hearing that, Zoe continued, “Gavin, can you take me with you? I won’t be a bother. I just don’t
want you to leave me again.”
Confronted with the hope shining in Zoe’s eyes, Cavin couldn’t bear to refuse. He reached out and held
Zoe’s small hand. He said, “Alright. We will go together.”
After Zoe heard her brother’s agreement, her face lit up with a smile of happiness.
She asked, “Gavin, where are we going now?”
Once Gavin heard what Zoe said, his gaze slowly darkened with hatred.
In a deep, low voice, he said, “We are going to the Harper family for the birthday celebration.”
