When the ruffian noticed how polite Nicholas was treating Skylar, his face turned even paler while his
body trembled. Suddenly, just like Nicholas, he knelt in front of Skylar despite his stinging pain.
“Mr… Mr. Stone, I’m really sorry for my insolence and it’s due to that that I’ve offended you by accident.
I… I won’t ever do that again, please find it in your heart to forgive me!” The ruffian begged for his life.
It did not take long for the ground to be stained by his blood. However, he dared not stop begging for
his life when Skylar was still silent.
He understood how horrible of a predicament he was in when Skylar was able to get Nicholas to kneel

Skylar glanced at the ruffian and his goons before ordering Dianne, “Lock these maniacs up in jail!”
As soon as the ruffian heard that, he was beaming with joy since Skylar’s decision to spare his life
would be the greatest news for him. Going to jail was nothing to people like him and he would be a new
man as soon as he was released from prison.
“Thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Stone. Thank you…” The ruffian thanked Skylar.
However, before he could finish, Skylar interjected, “You can leave this man here. Anyone who wants
my father dead has no right to live.”
“Yes sir!” Dianne replied.
Hearing that turned the ruffian’s face pale as waves of despair completely engulfed him.
However, Skylar could not be bothered to give him the opportunity to beg for his life again as he told
Nathaniel, “Let me get you home, dad. Don’t worry, I will make sure that everyone here gets
compensated reasonably. Or else, I’ll make sure the person in charge will spend the rest of his life in
prison!”
Hearing this terrified Nicholas as he frantically swore to Nathaniel. “Don’t worry, I promise that every
person here will be compensated ten percent more than what was initially agreed upon. You’re injured,

Nathaniel nodded after hearing that the issue had been resolved. After that, he followed Skylar to the
jeep parked nearby.
Meanwhile, the other protestors looked glad after hearing what Nicholas said earlier.
However, no one noticed the menacing aura emanating from the ruffian’s body when Skylar and
Nathaniel walked by him.
In a desperate attempt, he leapt up from the ground while screaming, “You b*stard! Since you’re
unwilling to spare my life, I’ll take you down with me today!”
Everyone was shocked when the ruffian suddenly pointed a gun at Skylar’s head.
All of this happened way too quickly as no one expected that a ruffian would have a real gun with him.
When he was about to pull the trigger, one of the protestors yelled, “Look out, Nathaniel, Skylar!”
“Look out? Can he even dodge my bullet?” The ruffian scoffed before pulling the trigger.
