Chapter 1036

Jack looked like a demon as he stalked toward Devin.

Devin was terrified to the point that he started trembling all over. However, he still didn't forget to run his mouth, attempting to threaten Jack. "You... You mongrel! Have you really thought things through? You'll have to bear the consequences if you get on my wrong side!

"If you let me go now, I can let bygones be bygones. But if you cross me today, I'm going to destroy your entire family!"

Jack struck him with a powerful fist to the face. Blood spurted everywhere as Devin's front teeth were knocked right out of his mouth. Jack then drove his other fist into Devin's gut, causing Devin's eyes to contract rapidly. A garbled cry clawed itself out of Devin's throat. He was so scared that he lost control of his lower half and soiled himself.

"Stop!"

As Jack was about to land another blow on Devin, a loud shout resounded toward them from a distance away. A few women were standing there with slackened jaws, taking in what had happened in the corridor with eyes that were wide with shock.

A faint fragrance floated through the air. Feena, Bella, Yolanda, Winona, and Wilhelmina had appeared in the corridor, trying to wrap their heads around what they were seeing.

Devin, who usually carried himself with a certain degree of elegance, was curled up on the ground, looking as if he was on the brink of death.

Jack wasn't afraid of crossing Devin, but he had ultimately stayed his hand with Feena, Bella, and the others' appearance. He didn't want Feena to witness his violent side.

Devin looked as if his soul had escaped his body. He didn't expect Jack to actually be serious about taking his life. Now that he had managed to escape death by a hair's breadth, he no longer dared to provoke Jack. He scuttled over to Winona and Yolanda but was too scared to say a word.

Yolanda studied Devin, who had been beaten black and blue, before pinning Jack with a furious gaze. "You damned devil! How could you be so cruel?"

Winona was also glaring at Jack. She wondered where Jack had trained himself to be so heartless and ruthless, just like a demon. Wilhelmina also pinned Jack with a look of disdain. In her eyes, he was nothing but a violent brute!

Only Feena and Bella were looking at Jack with a mixture of worry and fear. They were worried that Jack had gotten hurt, but they were also scared that Patrick would repay what Jack had done to Devin with double the violence and bloodiness.

Winona tossed one last look of disgust in Jack's direction before leaving with Yolanda, protecting the injured Devin between them. It was as if the conflict had never happened after they disappeared from the dark corridor.

After their enemies had cleared the area, Jack brought Valery, who had been scared out of her wits, back the hall. It was obvious that

everything had been a part of

snefarious schon

from the start. His goal was for everyone to witness Jack's violent side so they would rally behind Patrick instead.

Meanwhile, the main event had started in the hall-the fundraiser had officially begun. Film stars and singers who were famous all over the country took turns going onto the stage to perform while the wealthy and rich below the stage donated exorbitant amounts of money Nobody wanted to be outdone during such an extravagant event where so many industry big shots were gathered.

Devin, who had been beaten to a

pulp just earlier, was sitting in the front row, pretending as if nothing had happened. A short distance away Patrick and Peter were shooting sinister looks at Jack, looking as if they were immensel pleased with themselves since their plan had worked out as they hoped.

As expected, the guests began to criticize Jack when he returned to the hall.

"Do you see him? He's the one who raised his hand against Devin!"

"He's so violent. A normal human being would never do what he did to Devin."

"I bet you don't know, but he's actually the heir of the Lycan family. I heard that he grew up in a rural village, so he had never received any etiquette training. When it comes down to it, he's just a hooligan who engages in immoral acts."

"So that's how it is! No wonder he's so cruel!"

"The upper class society of Tarthy City would never welcome a person like him."

Jack was completely unbothered by the people's criticisms of him. They could run their mouths as much as they wanted. At the end of the day, the person who had absolute power would be the one calling the shots.

As long as Jack won, the so-called "upper class society of Tarthy City" would become as tame as a lamb before him.
