"Eat! Why don’t you want to eat?" John Harris stomped on the bun a couple more tis and then kicked it in front of Jack Carter.
Jack Carter tightly bit his lip, staring at the bun on the ground, his face ashen. Combined with the bloodstains on his face, he appeared rather nacing.
John Harris added, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t eat, then there’s no need, and you can leave."
These words seed casual, but were heavily laced with threat.
Jack Carter’s face turned even uglier. Eating that bun would be humiliating and a loss of self-respect, but if he didn’t, he’d implicate all his brothers. That was sothing Jack Carter absolutely couldn’t accept.
"One!"
"Two!"
Before Henry Forman could say "three," Jack Carter suddenly squatted down and picked up the bun.
"Don’t eat it!" all the brothers shouted.
Jack Carter turned to look at his brothers, his mouth twitching slightly, and said, "Brothers, thank you, but I can’t drag you into this. We can’t beat him."
"Haha... you’re sensible, kid." Henry Forman laughed heartily. He had acquired Anna Smith through tactics, but she was never happy. He knew Anna still had feelings for Jack Carter, so having the chance to humiliate Jack Carter gave him imnse satisfaction. He wanted to see Jack Carter lose face, to strip him of his dignity in front of Anna Smith. His goal was almost achieved.
Jack Carter looked at Anna Smith, and suddenly stuffed the bun into his mouth.
"Don’t eat it..." Anna shouted, then couldn’t help but sobbing. She knew how good this man was to her, and she genuinely liked Jack Carter. She thought they could build a small ho together, but unforeseen changes forced her to leave Jack Carter and enter the arms of this man she utterly loathed, Henry Forman.
Now seeing Jack Carter so humiliated for her sake, her heart bled, and she burst into tears uncontrollably.
But just as Jack Carter was about to bite down on the bun, a hand suddenly reached out to grip his wrist. Jack Carter struggled but couldn’t break free. He turned to Jas Brown, anxiously saying, "Manager Johnson, let eat it."
Jas Brown looked coldly at Jack Carter and slowly said, "Little Dave, are you a man?"
Jack Carter’s mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
"Do you love her?" Jas Brown pointed to Anna Smith.
When Anna heard this, her sobs stopped. She looked at Jack Carter with tearful eyes, and Jack Carter, looking at Anna, gritted his teeth and said, "No!"
Initially, Anna felt a pang in her heart, but seeing Jack Carter’s longing gaze, her heart ached even more. She understood that he didn’t want Henry Forman to give her a hard ti in the future, so he had said that.
Jas Brown slapped Jack Carter across the face, angrily saying, "As a man, dare not to admit loving a woman? Watching your woman suffer humiliation and able to do nothing? What kind of man are you?"
"I... I..." Jack Carter’s lips moved, but he couldn’t continue.
"A man must shield his beloved woman from the storm, no matter how difficult the obstacles. If you back down, then you’re not my brother. Now, let ask you, do you love that woman?"
Jas Brown’s last words erupted like thunder. Jack Carter’s body jolted as if he was listening to a commanding officer, reflexively straightening up and shouting, "I love her!"
"Good! Then muster your courage and take back your woman! Whatever happens, I’ll back you!" Jas Brown shouted again.
When Anna heard Jack Carter’s confession, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears, instinctively wanting to throw herself into Jack’s embrace.
"Smack!" A crisp slap landed on Anna’s face from Henry Forman, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.
"Ah!" Already stirred by Jas Brown’s encouragent, Jack Carter, seeing his beloved woman struck, could no longer hold back his fury. He let out a roar, charging toward Henry Forman like a raging tiger.
Henry Forman was startled, and his companions imdiately rushed to subdue Jack Carter. But Jack seed insane, paying no heed to the punches and kicks, with bloodshot eyes fixating on Henry, forcing him to retreat several steps in fear.
Jas Brown shouted, "The hell with it, move! Attack!" and took the lead.
The other security brothers, barely able to contain themselves, let out a fierce shout and rushed in.
Henry’s side had six or seven people, while Jas’s group was one short. However, Jas’s n were all forr soldiers with well-trained bodies and so martial arts skills. In this brawl, they had the upper hand, quickly subduing Henry’s side.
anwhile, Jack Carter was already riding on top of Henry Forman, repeatedly punching him. Henry, once his arch-nesis, was now taking all his accumulated grievances, making Henry cry out pitifully.
"Get them apart, quickly!" The restaurant manager was alard, urgently instructing the restaurant guards. If Henry was beaten in his establishnt, it was their responsibility, making it difficult to explain to Brother Blackjack later.
Anna was initially stunned, but seeing Jack fighting Henry, she was alard, quickly rushing over to pull Jack, pleading, "Johnny, Johnny, stop, stop!"
However, Jack had lost all reason, desperately pumling Henry.
Jas Brown’s group had already dealt with Henry’s companions. They deliberately blocked the restaurant guards, preventing them from stopping Jack. Given that the fight had already occurred, they thought Jack might as well fight to his heart’s content, without clashing with the restaurant guards.
"Johnny, stop! Won’t you listen to ?" Anna couldn’t pull Jack away, so she cried.
Jack’s raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air, as he turned to look at Anna.
"Johnny, Johnny, I know you’ve done well by . I can’t repay your kindness in this lifeti. Listen to , run, quickly run!" Anna forcefully pulled Jack up, pushing him to urge him to flee. Her worried expression was clear and obvious.
