“Boss, I’m sorry to disturb you, but… there’s some trouble at the shop. We can’t handle it,” Hannah Lincoln stated, her voice hinting at frustration.
“Someone is causing trouble? Who? What’s happening?” Finn Lewis immediately asked, his brow furrowed with concern.
“Some of our old customers. You know we’ve closed the shop to the public, right? When they showed up, we quietly explained the situation to them. Most understood, but the news of us opening the shop solely for one individual has started to spread, drawing even more attention to our store. Today, few men came, led by a young man who had been drinking. He insisted on coming in despite our attempts to dissuade him. Now, he’s confronting our staff,” Hannah quickly explained the situation.
“I understand. Hang in there, try not to back down. I’ll be there in about half an hour or so,” Finn glanced out the window, gauging his position before he responded.
“I understand, boss.” Hannah hung up. It was around three p.m., a typical time for people to come for afternoon tea after lunch. It didn’t matter much to Finn why the man was there, but Finn would not accept any disruption at his shop.
“Olivia, find me the quickest route to the Moon of West Lake restaurant,” Finn requested, as Olivia’s system had finished its integration while he was on the phone.
“Okay.” With Olivia’s confirmation, a green arrow immediately appeared on the road in front of Finn, visible through the windshield. It seemed like an in-game navigation arrow dropped directly onto the road, stretching out far into the distance. Finn didn’t know how this was achieved, but he was certain there were no actual arrows on the road; it must be some form of visual guidance displayed on the windshield.
From Finn’s perspective, the arrow extended hundreds of meters ahead, until it was beyond his sight. If there was a vehicle ahead, the arrow would appear directly on it.
Even though it was just after peak traffic hours, Olivia’s optimal route choice was still of the least congested roads, making it only a 20-minute drive before Finn parked outside Moon of West Lake. Before he even got out of the car, Finn noticed a Sweat Horse parked haphazardly in front of the entrance, where a man in his mid-twenties was standing at the driver’s side of vehicle, shouting at the employees inside.
Finn parked directly in front of the Sweat Horse. Fishy Wells and the others dropping behind him also parked their cars. The sudden arrival of the two cars drew the attention of onlookers. Before he even got out of his car, Finn noticed a prominent red handprint on Hannah’s face. This sight instantly infuriated him!
Upon his exit from the car, Hannah immediately spotted him and called out, “Boss.”
The young man, who had been intently watching, snapped to attention at Hannah’s shout, turning to glare at Finn. He roared, “Are you the damned new owner of this place? So this is how you run a business, by not letting customers in? Can’t handle operating in Celeston City, huh?”
“And the hell are you? My opening hours are none of your fucking business!” Finn roared back. Fuck, he thought, I’ve barely had a chance to yell at you and you’re already playing the victim.
“Alright, tough guy. I’ll show you how tough you are!” The young man’s eyes instantly went bloodshot as he dove back into his vehicle without another word. With a “bang”, the car door closed. Before Finn even realized what was about to happen, he heard the roar of the engine. With another “bang”, the Sweat Horse which was barely two meters away from Finn’s car, violently rammed into it.
There was a loud crash as the towering Sweat Horse H2 collided with the front of Finn’s car, sending it careening backward. The sound of the engine roared as the Sweat Horse showed no signs of slowing down, instead, the driver floored the gas pedal, forcing Finn’s Goddess of Light to retreat further backward. Then, with a “bang”, it hit Ruby Frank’s Flying Horse G65, which was parked not too far behind.
But the man didn’t stop there. He kept flooring the gas pedal, unleashing the full power of the Sweat Horse. Ruby’s car, parked sideways behind Finn’s, was smashed, causing the door to cave in and the vehicle to skid sideways. Just behind the Flying Horse was a protrusion on the ground, which hindered the skidding car, causing the Flying Horse G65 to flip on its side. It landed “bang” on its side, the windshield splintering with countless cracks. After flipping the SUV behind, the man finally stopped the car.
Thankfully, Ruby, Fishy Wells, and the others had already left their car and were standing behind Finn. Otherwise, they would’ve gotten hurt! But Finn’s eyes were seeing red! All of this seemed complicated, but it had all happened in an incredibly short span of time. He didn’t have time to react, and even if he did, it wouldn’t have made a difference. He wasn’t a god, after all. He couldn’t stop a car that was deliberately rammed into his.
“Fucking hell!” Finn hadn’t cursed like this in a long time, but he couldn’t hold back now. His new car, the one he’d just obtained and hadn’t even gotten to fully enjoy, had been struck! But that was far from the most important thing! What upset him the most was that the bastard had rammed his car without considering whether there was anyone in the car in front, not caring at all about the potential injuries.
Finn pushed himself off his car’s hood, darting towards the man. The sight of a furious Finn charging towards him clearly startled the young man, who took a few steps back. The others with him rushed forward. “Bang”, Finn landed a punch. If it had been in the past, the four or five young men charging at him would have undoubtedly tackled him – maybe even beaten him to a pulp.
But now, Finn’s physical strength was not going to be overpowered by these people. Before they could even grab hold of him, Finn’s fist had already powerfully landed on one of them, causing him to scream in agony and spit out a mouthful of blood before falling backward. The sight stunned not just the approaching men but even Finn himself for a moment.
But it was just for a moment. Immediately after, he lunged forward again. Apart from the guy who was instantly taken out by Finn’s punch, the three others managed to reach him. They lunged at him, one aiming for his waist, and the others trying to grab his arms. But they had underestimated Finn’s strength. With a powerful jerk of his arms, he broke free from the grip and grabbed one of them by the hair, yanking him forward and slamming his head into the shoulder of another..
