Chapter 389: Chapter 362: Hawthorne Family? Never been impressed (1 more)
"Bang!"
Under the heavy blow.
Leonard Hawthorne broke free from the restraint.
Alex Stephens could move instantly once again.
"Chloe!"
Alex Stephens grabbed Chloe.
Fearing that she might reveal too much and get filmed by ordinary people.
Chloe stopped her movements.
Leonard Hawthorne clumsily got up, his body full of wounds.
The onlookers who were about to call the police were stopped by Alex Stephens who explained that it was a family argument and thus settled the matter.
Leonard Hawthorne stared at Chloe with a sullen face.
Were it not for his identity, he would have taken action right after breaking free from the restraint.
It was very obvious.
This girl from the Stephens Family was anything but ordinary.
He had been foolish as well.
How could Len Hawthorne become so close with ordinary people?
Bidirectional attractions are always amongst equals.
Leonard Hawthorne glared deeply at Chloe and gnashed his teeth, "Let’s leave."
Chloe extended her hand, blocking his way.
"Do you want to fight here and attract the Slaughter Squad?"
"Pay for the damages."
"..."

Leonard Hawthorne gave Chloe USD 30,000 and left with a bad mood.
Alex Stephens stood by the side, wanting to laugh but unable to.
"Aren’t you afraid that they might actually take action?"
"They won’t," Chloe put away her smartphone, "I need to go."
"I’ll walk you."
With a wave of Chloe’s hand, she left.
Alex Stephens remained behind to deal with the aftermath.

The news of Leonard Hawthorne getting hit reached the grand building.
Len Hawthorne was about to leave when he heard about the incident and immediately changed his direction, "Find Leonard Hawthorne."
"But Team Hawthorne, didn’t you say you’d wait for a more appropriate time?"
Since Leonard Hawthorne was looking for Chloe, there was no need to wait!
Bad luck for Leonard Hawthorne indeed.
As he was leaving the private clinic after treating his wounds, he saw several cars surrounding his place. Upon seeing who got out of the car, Leonard Hawthorne’s face darkened.
"Len Hawthorne."
The name was practically grinding out between his teeth.
Len Hawthorne was leaning against a car smoking, smirking sinisterly like a villain, although his smile seemed a bit forced.
Upon seeing him, Leonard Hawthorne and his men tensed up, watching him warily.
"Do you know what your father did when he entered Sheffield City."
As soon as Seth Hawthorne was mentioned, Leonard Hawthorne’s face changed.
His face twisted with anger, and his muscles were twitching violently.
Seeing Leonard Hawthorne struggling to keep his cool, Len Hawthorne scoffed dismissively.
"A coward should act like a coward."
This statement directly provoked Leonard Hawthorne: "What did you say."
"If you really wanted revenge, you should have taken action as soon as you arrived in Sheffield City, not hiding in the shadows."
"Len Hawthorne, it’s you who destroyed the Hawthorne Family, the death of my family members, it’s all because of you."
"You’re not even worth treating well," Len Hawthorne took the cigarette from his mouth, his dark eyes narrowing, "Know why I’m here?"
Leonard Hawthorne’s expression changed again: "You want to use the identity of the Slaughter Squad to deal with me."
Seeing the fear in Leonard Hawthorne’s eyes, Len Hawthorne let out a cold snort, "I thought you’d have some backbone, but your father died in my hands, and you as his son, are cowardly and incapable."
"Len Hawthorne!"
With a roar, Leonard Hawthorne charged.
The powerful energy gathered and rushed towards Len Hawthorne.
Len Hawthorne took a step forward, using two barriers to separate his front from behind. The Slaughter Squad’s members behind him were blocked, while the barrier in front transformed into a formidable wave crashing down on Leonard Hawthorne.
"Boom!"
The ground caved in.
Leonard Hawthorne’s advancing motion suddenly froze midway and he knelt heavily on both knees.
The sound of bones cracking made everyone instinctively cover their own knees.
Standing before them, Len Hawthorne had only taken a small step forward from beginning to end.
Leonard Hawthorne once again experienced the terrifying power of Len Hawthorne.
Len Hawthorne retracted the two barriers he had extended earlier and stood in place, gazing down at Leonard Hawthorne who was on his knees, unable to get up.
The Hawthorne Family members who had come with Leonard Hawthorne immediately rushed to his side, fear depicted on their faces as they looked at Len Hawthorne.
"Take your young master and get lost back to the Imperial Capital. Don’t hinder the Slaughter Squad in conducting official business here."
"Len Hawthorne, you will meet a terrible end... When you kill a member of your own family, you’ll get your comeuppance."
Leonard Hawthorne was gazing sullenly at Len Hawthorne while he cursed.
Len Hawthorne laughed, "The family members who keep thinking of eliminating me have never been treasured. Don’t overestimate your importance. Without Granny in the Hawthorne family, do you think those who want to harm me can still survive until now?"
"I won’t let the death of my father go."
Leonard Hawthorne’s eyes turned bloodshot, if possible, he would rush over and rip Len Hawthorne to pieces.
Len Hawthorne gave an uncaring smile, "If you can withstand one of my attacks, feel free to take action."

Private airfield.
Leonard Hawthorne was helped into a wheelchair and moved inside.
He lowered his head to look at his legs. With the capabilities of an ancient martial artist, and with the help of doctors, he could heal, but it would require enduring immense pain to recover.
He would forever remember what Len Hawthorne did to him today.
As for the future...
A slender figure stood at the edge of the airstrip, quietly watching him.
When Leonard Hawthorne and his party noticed the girl, they were startled.
How is she here?
Chloe Stephens silently walked forward. The wind from the airplane’s propellers blew from behind her, causing the girl’s hair and clothes to flutter.
The scene was unspeakably harsh.
Leonard Hawthorne scowled, "The 30,000 dollars were given to you."
"The person in the Dark City, I killed him."
"What?" Leonard Hawthorne’s face rapidly stiffened.
"Who was he working with?" the girl asked coldly.
Maintaining a condescending stance, she looked at Leonard Hawthorne.
Leonard Hawthorne collected himself, his hands gripping the arms of the wheelchair fiercely as he glared at Chloe Stephens, "So it was you. Len Hawthorne protected you, that’s why he admitted to the killing."
"Your father wanted to kill me, so I killed him. It’s fair. I only want to know now, who was he working with?"
Leonard Hawthorne snarled as he burst into derisive laughter, "If you want to know, why don’t you ask Len Hawthorne? He intentionally did it."
"Len Hawthorne had no intention of killing me," Chloe Stephens paused slightly, "If he wanted to kill me, we would have been enemies from the start."
Leonard Hawthorne couldn’t care less about their issues. Right now, all he wanted was to kill Chloe Stephens in revenge for his father.
But he had experienced Chloe Stephens’ capability before.
They were not a match for her at all.
Chloe Stephens said flatly: "I have no grudge against him, other than other people, I can’t think of anything else. If it’s the entire Hawthorne Family’s intention, tell the Hawthorne family leader, they should think about my retaliation before laying a hand on me."
After dropping these words, the girl turned and left.
She was here to let Leonard Hawthorne know that she was the killer.
If Len Hawthorne wanted to take the blame, that was his business.
In the blink of an eye, the girl’s figure disappeared. Leonard Hawthorne bellowed in rage.

National Youth Basketball Team.
Coach Lawson was on the phone in the corridor, "Seth Hawthorne’s life and death have nothing to do with us. Alright, I got it."
Coach Lawson hung up the phone and turned to see Franklin Walter entering the corner, "What’s up?"
"Coach Lawson, I need your advice on something."
Coach Lawson smiled: "We can go to the basketball court and call the other team members over."
"OK," Franklin quickly turned around to call over the other team members, pushing aside the conversation he had overheard earlier.
Since Franklin joined the basketball team, he has been carefully concealing the fact that he knows ancient martial arts, following Chloe Stephens’ advice, as he has yet fulfilled his potential and can’t reveal himself prematurely.
Besides, he also has a martial artist’s rules to uphold.
