Chapter 193:
Pain exploded through Brandon’s face. His nose felt broken, and his head pounded so fiercely that the voices around him became nothing more than muffled noise.
Doubling over in agony, he remained still for a moment while his people stood in stunned silence.
Unable to speak, Brandon lifted a trembling hand and pointed at Joonas, his gaze seething with fury.
After a few ragged breaths, he managed to spit out the words, “Take him down p>
Without a second thought, his people lunged forward, brandishing iron rods as they charged at Joonas.
Although Joonas’s side was outnumbered, his men were experienced fighters, many former special forces soldiers. Within seconds, Brandon’s men lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Joonas hadn’t even needed to lift a finger. Standing with one hand in his pocket, calm and composed, he watched as a subordinate lit a cigar for him and handed over a phone. “Here is what you asked for p>
Joonas let out a chuckle, utterly confident in his victory. With a nod toward Brandon, he said, “Show him p>
The subordinate turned the phone screen toward Brandon.
The image displayed a middle-aged man and a young woman, both completely naked, lying together in what appeared to be a lavish bedroom.
Brandon’s face drained of color. He stared at the screen as if it had slapped him, his mouth ajar in disbelief. Shaking his head furiously, he muttered, “No… No… That’s impossible. Where did you get this photo? This can’t be real p>
First appeared in
The man in the photo was his father, the deputy mayor. A man who would never make such a reckless mistake.
Despite the searing pain in his nose, Brandon snapped back, his voice laced with denial, “This is fake! You’re just trying to ruin my father’s name! He is the deputy p>
Brandon insisted, “My father is honest, incorruptible, and principled. He would never do something like this p>
Without a word, Joonas took the phone and swiped to the next image. Brandon’s eyes widened, his breath caught in his throat, and his face twisted with disbelief.
He shook his head repeatedly, refusing to accept it. “I don’t know where you got these photos, but I won’t let you frame my father. I’m not falling for this trick p>
The photo showed an open wardrobe stuffed with bricks of cash. It was clearly taken in the same bedroom.
Joonas remained unfazed by Brandon’s protests and kept scrolling, showing him new photos.
Brandon froze as the screen displayed an image of him pressing a cigarette butt into a terrified girl’s shoulder. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and beside her stood Harlan, smirking menacingly as he poured red wine over her.
