Chapter 136 - Locked Him Up In Dream City
All of a sudden, James' ears buzzing, and unexplainable anger crept toward his chest. As his gaze darkened, he was like a mad man rushing over and yanking Bryan in the collar and letting him have a taste of his fists.
"You fu...kng ba...tard!" James lifts his right foot and kicks Bryan in the stomach. All the grudges he holds toward this guy, he would vent it tonight!
Among everyone, this guy has all the privileges of being the closest one to the Princess. The rest could not dare lay a finger to touch the Princess but this man!? He who has the gut to attack her?
Another kick from James, and it flips Bryan. James good landed on his jaw. He closes his eyes and presses his eyelids. He could feel that those around him were turning around.
"Enough, James." Andre may be furious at Bryan, but he only wanted to warn him, not killing him.
"We should bring all the boys!" He fretted, dissatisfied that he could not beat Bryan even more; he wanted to keep punching him in the face, and so, he needed someone to hold him while he would throw his fists continuously.
"We're not murderers. I just wanted to remind him that he no longer has permission to get near Hailey. Gladly, she's leaving tonight. She need not endure seeing this bastard's face."
"Again? Why does Hailey, who needed to leave? Why shouldn't this man be banned from stepping in Australia?"
"Hailey is often abroad. It would be safer for her if this man were locked up here in Dream City." Andre declared.
James furrowed his brows. After his head processes Andre's statement, he concurs. "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him. I'll make sure he could not take another step closer to the Princess."
Andre nodded. He glanced at his wristwatch and said, "Let's go. It's about time for us to take off. Drive me to the airport."
"Okay."
James turned around and never took a glance at the man lying on the cold ground. He slid on the driver seat and revived the engine of his car.
Bryan lay still on the ground. He wanted to get up, but the pain in his stomach is unbearable. P
After fifteen minutes, a plane flew past him. He knew it's Hailey's plane. Suddenly, his tears plummeting in the corner of his eyes.
She's leaving again. And once again, he hadn't had a good talk with her. Moreover, he makes it worse this time. He made Hailey hate him to the extreme.

Meanwhile, Hailey didn't leave her eyes on Andre, sitting in front of her.
"Tell me. Did you beat up Bryan?"
Andre smiled faintly. Later, he nodded. But he didn't explain or say anything.
"Did he say something to you?"
Honestly, she was nervous. It made her worry that Bryan might mention what he overheard. She admitted to him that she has someone she loves now.
But once everyone learns about it, her dad might do something and run an investigation, and he found out something. She is still hiding the truth about her stay in P Country.
She's lucky that her friends are loyal to her and ready to keep a secret whatever she's up to lately.
After a moment of silence, Andre replied. "That was actually what made me annoyed. Bryan didn't say anything."
Hailey breathes out a sigh of relief. It gladdened her that Bryan didn't speak about her new relationship. It's not the right time yet.

It's been an hour since Andre and James abandoned him in this side of Dream City, but Bryan still didn't move.
Not long, he moves his head to the other side when a car approaches him, and the headlights are blinding his eyes.
"Damn. At least they announce that there is fun on this side of the city. It's boring to watch a bunch of men drinking. Punching someone's face is much better." Mocked by the person who just arrived in a green four-seats sports car.
Bryan twitches his mouth. He wanted to speak, but his lips have severely received a bruise, now his face is swollen.
"Hey, are you still alive?" The guy squatted on the ground and poke Bryan on the cheek.
"Ouch! Can't you see I can't move?"
However, the guy only laughs at him. This person is none other than Doctor Hector Payne. He is one of the knights and assigned by Hailey as Director of Dream City Hospital.
"Why are you here?" asked Bryan with a frown.
"Dammit! Aren't you grateful? How if I also punched you instead? No one would know I joined the fun." Hector grinned.
Bryan only moved his mouth but didn't counter Hector's joke.
"You are boring," Hector mumbled when Bryan only ignored him.
He helps him get up, and even though he is tall and lean like Bryan, he still struggles to bring the guy toward his car. He places Bryan on the backseat, who keeps groaning like a girl.
"Ouch! Can't you be gentle?"
Hector rose a brow. He scanned Bryan's face, and he burst out laughing. Pissed off by his reaction, Bryan is glaring at him.
"This is the third time I saw how badly you are beaten up!"
And the first time is when Geoffrey, Josh, Trevor, Chester, and Kelvin storm the Anderson Villa and beat him up. And the second time is Pitt.
No one sees it coming. All of a sudden, the guy came back to Australia and beat up Bryan inside his office.
Now, Andre and James beat him up. And it must be something, and it looks worse this time that James also threw his fists.
"Who told you I was here?"
Hector positioned himself in front of the steering wheel and began driving. He glanced at Bryan through the rearview mirror and replied.
"It was the Princess who texted me several minutes after they already took off. She told me to treat your wounds."
"And why did you just pick me up?"
Hector pursed his lips and glared at Bryan through the rearview mirror. "And you had guts to complain? I have waited for James to come back to the party to ask where they bring you!"
Bryan rendered his silence. He adjusted his back and sank on the seat.
Hailey...
He closes his eyes to push back the emotion surging in his chest that seems to connect to his eyes. Hailey still cares for him!
But he admits he is such a jerk to use force and being persistent toward her. This is not going to work. He must think carefully about how he could coax her.
All night, Bryan could not sleep because Hailey keeps appearing in his head. He was confined in the hospital, and according to Hector, he needs several days of rest.
The following day, his heart jumped from joy to see the caller's name on his phone screen. Even though his ribs are aching so bad, he forces his ass to move to reach his phone.
"Hail?"
He waited patiently for the other line to speak, but only silence he could hear. Bryan took this opportunity to apologize.
"Hail, I'm sorry about last night. I promised it would not happen again."
