Chapter 584 Blood Is Thicker Than Water
“Darling, it has been a while since we last went to the night market. Why don’t we go there tonight?”
Jennifer used to frequent the night market with Donald. Back then, neither of them had much money,
but food in the night market was cheap, so a small amount of money could feed them both.
As they became busy with work, they turned to ordering takeaway from nearby restaurants. It had been
such a long time since they got a taste of food in the market. “Sure. Let’s walk there.”
After all, night markets were mostly frequented by university students, so they would stick out like a
sore thumb if they drove.
They walked to the market following the trail by the river. After some time, they noticed a crowd
gathered in front of a stall. “D*mn! You sure are reckless to set up a stall without knowing a thing about
Mr. Raven from Sunrise!”
Raven, who wore a Polo shirt, was enjoying some grilled meat while sitting on a blue chair. He behaved

Raven spat the bone in his mouth in front of the man and said casually, “The fact that you can set up a
stall here means you have some money. Let’s see… I will protect you if you pay me twenty thousand.”
The man retorted seethingly, “We’re earning money doing honest work and also renting the stall with
our own money, so why should I pay extra money to you?”
“Oh, you’re quite the stubborn one.” Raven stabbed the skewer he was holding into the man’s hand,
causing the man to wail in pain while the hooligans around them burst into laughter.
“Dad?” When Jennifer peeked through the crowd, she realized the man kneeling on the ground was
none other than her father.
Her first reaction was wanting to rush over to Leonard, but she hesitated upon recalling what he and
Linda had done to her. “Don’t hit my husband! I already called the police! Leave us alone! Go away!”
Linda was about to throw a tantrum after dashing out from the side. However, Gerard Lawson, a
subordinate of Raven’s, slapped her in the face and toppled her with a kick before she could come near
them.
“Who the heck are you? Stay away when Mr. Raven is working!”
Linda was about to pounce again after being hit, but two hooligans grabbed her and pressed her face
against the ground. Blood stained the ground as her face was grated by the hard surface.
As Leonard and Linda were hit, Kevin, whose hand was still bandaged, shrunk in a corner without a
word as if Leonard and Linda were strangers to him.
All the while, Jennifer’s heart ached as she watched from among the crowd.
They were her parents, after all, so she felt like interfering.
Yet, she wouldn’t know what to do if she wound up being pestered by them again if she did.
Raven stepped on Leonard’s hand and trampled on it while speaking. “You will obey the rules in the
market if you wish to set up a stall here. It’s fine if you don’t wish to pay us. This just means we’re going
to have to wreck this stall up every time we see you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he waved his arm, the hooligans picked up the folding stools and steel bars to wreck the
stall.
When Leonard, who was still kneeling, tried to stand up, Raven gave Gerard a look, and the latter took
out a flick knife and was about to stab it into Leonard’s back.
Unlike how he imagined, Leonard didn’t end up collapsing in a pool of his own blood on the ground.
Gerard noticed Donald holding his hand in an iron grip.
“It’s one thing to wreck their stall, but hurting people is unforgivable.”
“Donald?”
Both Leonard and Linda were surprised. Neither of them expected him to show up.
Raven mocked, “Wow, someone’s trying to be the hero in this day and age. Kid, you must already have
a death wi–”
Before Raven could finish his sentence, Donald exerted some force and stabbed the knife that Gerard
was holding into Gerard’s stomach.
