“Dad!”
Cheyenne and Charlotte were stunned as they hurriedly opened the car doors and dashed over to help William up. Then they scrutinized him from head to toe to check his injuries.
“Dad, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Where did they kick you?”
William was grimacing and wincing in pain because of the excruciating pain spreading throughout his body from the kicks. Fortunately, he only had some bruises and abrasions, without any serious injuries.
“Why did you hit my dad?! Did he offend you in any way?!”
Seeing that William was not seriously injured, they finally relaxed. Charlotte was hot-tempered, so she immediately turned around and questioned the security guard leader who had kicked William.
Charlotte had been in charge of the Stardust Group for some time and had gained a lot of experience in dealing with trouble. Her stern question made the security guard leader subconsciously freeze while his heart trembled.
But when he saw that the person in front of him was a young and pretty woman, his fear immediately vanished.
At the same time, he was also extremely surprised that this dirty old man had two gorgeous daughters.
The security guard leader chuckled. “Beautiful lady, it’s not my fault. Look at how dirty your father is. We could smell the unbearable stench of his body when he came in! The Ocean Bathhouse is an upscale bathhouse. If all our customers are as smelly as your father, wouldn’t it be impossible for us to keep our business running?”
Charlotte retorted in exasperation, “Isn’t the bathhouse open for business? Besides, it’s not like my father isn’t going to pay. If you’re afraid of disturbing other customers, we can pay a little more and book an entire bathroom! But why did you hit him?”
Charlotte made perfect sense.
The security guard leader was at a loss for words for a rebuttal and couldn’t help feeling ashamed and furious. “Who are you to reprimand me? You’re so young, yet you have a dirty beggar for a father. I doubt you’re a decent person!
“You probably came to promote yourself because you heard that there are lots of pretty girls working at the Ocean Bathhouse. Unfortunately, you’re probably just a plaything who has been toyed with by countless men. You’re not welcome in our bathhouse!”
Charlotte was stunned, and she froze for a long time before realizing the lewd meaning in his words. She immediately turned beet red!
Before she could curse, William flew into a rage when he saw his daughter bullied by this scumbag. He got up from the ground and charged furiously toward the security guard leader! “Scoundrel, how dare you insult my daughter? You’re going to get it from me!”
But before William could touch him, a long leg appeared in front of the security guard leader, who had made those malicious comments.
Bang!
A massive force struck the security guard leader in his chest. He only managed to scream before he was soon kicked away by the huge impact and slammed hard against the glass door.
Crack!
The glass shattered in pieces, and glass shards flew all over the ground.
After having his head slam against a pillar in the lobby, the security guard passed out without making another single sound.
The great commotion immediately resulted in a series of screams.
The other security guards in the lobby were dumbfounded and gaping in shock.
Among the security guards, their leader was the best at martial arts, yet he was knocked out without being able to resist and was now lying motionlessly on the ground like a dead dog!
William’s fist was still hovering in midair. But the man opposite had already flown around eight meters away, passed out cold, and could longer move an inch.
William blinked and looked at Lucas beside him, somewhat at a loss for words.
At this moment, his son-in-law had a fiery gaze in his eyes and was exuding a menacing aura while standing in front of them. He was mighty, overbearing, and not to be provoked.
Even William was intimidated by Lucas’s domineering aura and didn’t dare to move about.
While staring at Lucas’s majestic stance, William somehow had a strange feeling arise in his heart.
The masked young man who took Cheyenne away from him in Little Atlantis City just two weeks ago seemed very much like Lucas!
“Hmph, we must get in even if you’re stopping us! William, let’s go in together. I’ll see if they have the guts to stop us!” Lucas said coldly.
He was not throwing his weight around. But everyone in the bathhouse was a snob who looked down on those who didn’t seem well-off and would even chase them away. If they had merely forbidden William from entering, it would be fine. But they had beaten William up and even hurled humiliating insults at him, as well as Cheyenne and Charlotte.
Lucas was bent on standing up for them!
Cheyenne and Charlotte now had a much clearer idea about Lucas’s strength and abilities. It was safe to say that there was no one in Orange County whom Lucas was afraid of offending.
So after hearing what Lucas said, both of them went to William’s side and said firmly, “Dad, just listen to Lucas. Let’s go in and see who dares to stop us!”
William looked at Cheyenne and Lucas, who were standing together on his right, and suddenly felt that maybe the masked young man, who took Cheyenne away from him in Little Atlantis City that day, was really Lucas!
Otherwise, Cheyenne wouldn’t have been so… composed. Apart from feeling incredibly disappointed in William for using her as a gambling stake, Cheyenne hadn’t seemed to be scared or repulsed by the stranger.
They had also appeared at the same time that day. Cheyenne merely showed him great concern and worry, but she didn’t seem to have mentioned what happened to her after the stranger took her away and how she returned.
So there was only one possibility about what the truth was!
The reason they did it was so that he could finally realize the consequences of losing his family due to his gambling addiction and the dangers of gambling so that he would quit gambling for good!
After figuring everything out, William didn’t feel angry at all and instead felt grateful and overjoyed!
Fortunately, what had happened to him was just staged by Lucas and Cheyenne and not the cold, harsh reality. Otherwise, Cheyenne might have died!
Thinking of all the horrendous things that he had said or done in the past, as well as the humiliation and insults he had inflicted on Lucas, William was overwhelmed with guilt and self-reproach.
He decided that from now on, he would be a good father and never let his children down!
As soon as they stepped over the broken bits of glass to enter the Ocean Bathhouse, a group of people hurried over from the corner of the stairs and immediately saw the huge mess at the entrance. They also saw the unconscious security guard leader lying on the ground and the security guards standing by the entrance but not daring to step forward.
“What’s the ruckus about? What’s going on here?” a man bellowed in anger.
