The Despairing Ed
At 3:00AM, Matthew arrived at Mightwater. This was the first time he came to the place where talented
people from all over the world had suffered from setbacks.
When he switched on his cell phone, he got a message from Tiger. Tiger had sent his men to keep
following the crown prince of Mightwater’s lackeys. At the moment, these men had brought Ed back to
Mightwater and taken him to a nightclub. According to Tiger’s intel, the few people who had beaten Ed
up on the video earlier were having a gathering at the nightclub.
Immediately, Matthew hailed a taxi to the nightclub.
At 3:30AM, Ed, who had regained consciousness, was brought to the manager’s office upstairs of the
nightclub. Inside the manager’s office, several young men were having a wild party. Among them were
a dozen scantily clad young ladies, and some of them had almost been stripped naked. When they saw
people coming in, they paid zero attention to them, as though they no longer had a sense of shame.
Ed’s face turned deathly pale the instant he was brought inside and saw the men in the room. He’d never
forget what these people looked like until he died!
Upon seeing Ed, the few young men in the room burst into laughter. They were led by a long-haired
young man, who kicked Ed in the chest and cursed, “You’re quite tough, aren’t you, you son of a b*tch?
To think that you’d survive after jumping into the river mouth! F*ck, look at how nicely you’re dressed!
You’ve gotten rich, huh?”
Falling to his knees, Ed begged in a quavering voice, “I-I know I was wrong, bro. Please forgive me…”
The long-haired young man gave a sinister laugh. “Forgive you? Do you think I’m gonna forgive you? Do
you know how much money I’ve spent for nothing because of the phone call you made?” he said,
becoming even angrier as he spoke. Then, he slapped Ed across the face several times, saying
furiously, “Thanks to the phone call you made, I had to spend a full 130 million to settle the matter. It was
all because of you that I nearly went to jail. And now you’re asking me to forgive you? Do you think that’s
possible?”
Ed kneeled on the ground while begging for mercy in a trembling voice, but the long-haired young man
remained unmoved. Not only that, but he kicked Ed several times in the face, causing blood to run down
the corner of his mouth.
The other young men in the room also gathered around Ed and showered him with punches and kicks,
laughing as they beat Ed up. As for the ladies, they kept cheering the gang of young men on from the
sidelines, and some even clapped and applauded when some of the young men made wounds on Ed’s
body. It was as if they saw Ed not as a human being, but as an animal placed at the young men’s mercy.
Ed was beaten up so badly that he collapsed to the ground without the strength to fight back, and his
head and body were covered in blood. However, the several young men had no intention of stopping. It
seemed like they wanted to beat him to death!
Ed began to fall into a trance-like state. He had initially thought that by returning to Eastcliff, he had
escaped from these young men. Not only that, but he had even met his best buddy and married the
woman he loved, living a happy life at last. However, he never thought he would be unable to get rid of
this nightmare in the end. He was truly in despair.
Just as these people were busy beating Ed up, they suddenly heard a loud bang on the door, as though
somebody was kicking at the door with all their might.
Everyone in the room was startled. The long-haired young man swore, “Damn it! Who the f*ck—”
Before he could finish his sentence, though, there was another loud bang on the door. This time, the
door was kicked open right away, and a glum-faced man came in through the door.
The man was none other than Matthew. As soon as he came in, he saw Ed lying on the ground and
covered in blood. His eyes reddened right away. What have they done to my sworn brother?!
Just then, a young man standing at the door walked over with a liquor bottle in his hand. Pointing at
Matthew, he swore, “Who the f*ck are you? Do you know—”
Before the young man could finish his sentence, Matthew grabbed his wrist, shoving the liquor bottle into
his mouth. Then, he grabbed the young man’s neck, banging the latter’s head hard against the wall.
