Chapter 16

Samuel Clark suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, sharp and piercing, sending chills down everyone's spines. In just an instant, Samuel Clark finally understood that the cracking sound he heard wasn't from Charles Bennett—it was his own nose that had shattered.

The bone in the nose is the softest and most fragile part of the human body.

After taking that punch to the nose, Samuel Clark immediately went limp all over, clutching his nose and collapsing to his knees like a shrimp, completely losing his ability to fight.

Samuel Clark simply couldn't figure out how he had taken that punch!

If Samuel Clark himself couldn't understand, let alone anyone else. In the eyes of the crowd, all they saw was Charles Bennett seeming to sidestep half a step, then Samuel Clark's punch missed, and at the same time, Charles Bennett's fist landed squarely on Samuel Clark's nose.

Unbelievable!

This wasn't the first time everyone had been around Charles Bennett; they all knew exactly what he was capable of. How could someone at the third stage of Vital Energy, Blood Infusion level, completely overpower someone at the fourth stage, Marrow Infusion level?

This outcome just didn't make sense!

"That was a ruthless move!"

Seeing Samuel Clark's miserable state, everyone felt their scalps tingle. A few of them even turned and ran off immediately.

"Samuel Clark, these two slaps are for all those people you've bullied in the past!"

Charles Bennett grabbed Samuel Clark's hair and gave him two resounding slaps. Someone like Samuel Clark might have brute strength, but when it came to awareness and technique, he was no match for Charles Bennett.

"Even if you're going to bully and dominate the market, there should be a limit. You even dared to forcibly take women... Don't you know that's the thing I hate most?"

As he spoke, he delivered two more slaps, so hard that Samuel Clark's teeth fell out of his mouth.

"Well done, big brother! Well done!"

The ten-year-old little sister cheered excitedly from the side, venting her anger. Even though she couldn't do it herself, watching her big brother deal with this guy was extremely satisfying.

After throwing two punches, Charles Bennett felt some of the anger in his heart dissipate. Whether in this life or the last, what Charles Bennett hated most were those who bullied women and children. For Samuel Clark to do such things under his name was something Charles Bennett could not tolerate.

Being grounded by his parents for this kind of reason was even more humiliating. So Charles Bennett didn't hold back—his strikes were heavy and fierce!

"Ah! You bastard, you'll pay for this!"

Samuel Clark's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body trembling with rage.

Smack!

Charles Bennett suddenly kicked Samuel Clark in the groin, and it seemed as if something broke inside. The pain made Samuel Clark howl, clutching his crotch as he collapsed.

His face turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead like rain. All that could be heard was the sound of him gasping for air, with no exhale.

"Samuel Clark, don't think I don't know. You and David Foster are in cahoots. David Foster is using you to deal with me. You rely on others' power and really think you're something?"

Charles Bennett walked over and stared coldly at Samuel Clark lying on the ground.

Samuel Clark was just a small-time character with no real background. On his own, he would never have the guts to mess with Charles Bennett unless someone was pulling the strings.

Just by looking at Samuel Clark's shocked expression, Charles Bennett knew he'd guessed right. In the entire capital, the only one driven by such desire was David Foster.

Although David Foster had no direct grudge with Charles Bennett, he had clashed with Charles Bennett's eldest and second brothers. Samuel Clark could only be acting on his orders.

"Charles Bennett, don't get cocky! Acting tough in front of me—if you've got the guts, go show off in front of Young Foster! Yeah, I used your name to snatch women outside, so what? It was all under Master Foster's orders. If you've got a problem, take it up with Master Foster!"

Samuel Clark stuck out his neck and shouted angrily.

"Heh, Samuel Clark, you think I don't dare?"

This was exactly what Charles Bennett had been waiting for. To get into Guanghe Tower, he still needed this "gentleman" to lead the way.

"If you've got the guts, then lead the way. I want to see what David Foster has to say about this."

Charles Bennett sneered.

Crash!

No one knew where Samuel Clark found the strength, but he suddenly sprang to his feet. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, filled with deep-seated hatred:

"Charles Bennett, if you're a real man, come with me. Whoever doesn't dare is a cow—ard—ly—bastard!"

A true man must avenge his grievances!

He couldn't deal with Charles Bennett himself, so he'd let David Foster handle him!

……

Things went even more smoothly than Charles Bennett had imagined. With Samuel Clark leading the way, Charles Bennett quickly arrived at Guanghe Tower.

In the bustling city center, there stood an octagonal pavilion with flying eaves and ornate brackets, exuding extraordinary grandeur. The building had four floors in total, with red, gold-embossed lanterns hanging down layer by layer from each of the eight corners, looking magnificent and splendid.

Returning to this familiar place, Charles Bennett was filled with emotion.

In his previous life, when he returned to Guanghe Tower, it was already a dilapidated ruin, with cobwebs thick with dust in every corner, long gone were the days of prosperity and bustle.

This was the turning point in the Wang family's fate!

Until his death in his previous life, his father never stopped thinking about Guanghe Tower. For this reason, Charles Bennett returned again and again, standing before the ruins of Guanghe Tower, reminiscing about the past.

"If that incident hadn't happened, everything would have been different!"

Charles Bennett thought to himself.
