The Rise of David

Chapter 60: Living Up To The Name
“Then I’ll take my leave now!” Walter said, knowing that he wouldn’t be of much help in the fight.
Glen nodded as well. When he passed by David, he whispered, “Try not to kill anyone, Mr. Chance. Things will get very messy if you do.”
If the head of the Whitaker family were to be killed in Horington, then there would be no way he could keep his job as the mayor.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lowe. I know what I’m doing.” David nodded.
With David and Walter gone, Kane studied Glen curiously. From what he could see, David was just a normal-looking young man. He didn’t understand why the duo had shown him so much respect.
“You’re the one who crippled my son?” Fury could be heard in his voice.
“That’s right. If someone else hadn’t asked me to show him mercy, he would’ve been a corpse by now. Trash like him doesn’t deserve to live!” David stared at Kane calmly. There was not even a hint of emotion in his eyes.
“I’m impressed you admit it so willingly.” Kane snapped his fingers at an expert in white attire.
That expert immediately understood what he meant and lunged at David.
His fist was so fast that it broke the sound barrier.
Thud!
Following the muffled sound, that expert suddenly flew backward, crashed into the ground, and coughed out blood even though David was standing there unmoving.
Kane was befuddled for a second. He then sneered, “So you’re skilled in combat. That explains why there’s an air of arrogance around you. But even if you are a master of masters, I’m not going to leave until I avenge my son!”
He proceeded to take off his shirt and revealed his muscular body. It was time for him to take matters into his own hand.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Out of nowhere, they could hear sounds of hurried footsteps reverberating through the entire hotel.
An expert from the Whitaker family glanced outside the window and his expression turned dark. He quickly walked over to Kane and whispered a few words in his ear.
Kane furrowed his eyebrows and glanced outside of the window.
There were thousands of people holding weapons surrounding the hotel.
“My men have arrived, Kane! I remember you calling me a worm. Well, do you still think I’m a worm? Unless all of you spontaneously turned into immortals, you aren’t getting out here alive with thousands of people fighting you.” Tommy laughed when he learned that his army had arrived.
Kane scrunched up his face as he stared at Tommy.
Never in a million years did he expect Tommy to be able to summon thousands of men in such a short amount of time.
The news about Tommy taking over the Crimson Dragon Gang was something he didn’t know, which was why he didn’t expect so many people there.
“It’s not time for you to celebrate yet, Tommy. I can still kill all of you before these people rush into the room. You know what’ll happen if I die in Horington!” Kane barked.
“Don’t try to intimidate me. I’m not scared of you. At most, I’ll just sacrifice my life to take yours!”
Tommy spoke as though he was a nutcase devoid of any fear of death.
Kane’s expression turned even grimmer. “Fine! I admit I’ve lost today. Until we meet again next time.”
He waved his hand and prepared to leave with his men.
However, Tommy blocked his way.
“Let them go, Tommy!” David said placidly.
Tommy glanced at him before standing to the side and letting Kane leave with his men.
If it hadn’t been for Glen, David would’ve never let Kane go that easily.
“Are we really going to leave without avenging Mr. Tyrion, Mr. Whitaker?” one of the experts asked Kane when they left the Glamor Hotel.
“Of course I’m going to avenge him! I don’t know who this brat is to have so many people in Horington to protect him. Since we can’t touch him in this city, we’ll just wait until he steps out of the city and kill him. I want you all to stay here and keep a close eye on him. Call me the moment he steps out of Horington!” Kane instructed with an insidious expression.
“Roger!” The experts nodded.
Thus, the incident with Tyrion’s broken leg came to a temporary end. Kane no longer tried to pick a fight with David in Horington, and Francis’ acquaintances still hadn’t come to the city. It was impossible to tell if it was because they didn’t know Francis was already dead or if they didn’t plan to avenge him.
David had been using that spare time to create more revitalizing pills. With William’s help, the pills were increasing in value as demand kept on coming.
He had also visited Lagrange Monastery and helped to absorb Erasmus’s daughter’s frosty energy. That had helped him gain quite a lot of spiritual energy and allowed him to continue to make more revitalizing pills.
As his wealth had increased drastically, he believed it was time to visit Yeringham to procure rare medicinal herbs.
However, he wasn’t familiar with the city, thus he had asked Tommy to go with him. Aside from being more familiar with the city, Tommy would also be helpful if he needed someone to dispatch.
After making the decision to travel there, he went to the Sullivan residence and bade goodbye to the family, as the trip to Yeringham would last for a while.
“What? You’re going to Yeringham? Take me with you!” Josephine requested excitedly.
She had recovered greatly from the kidnapping incident and her relationship with him had also improved a lot.
“You shouldn’t come with me. There might be a lot of danger lurking in the shadows.” David knew Kane wouldn’t just forfeit his revenge that easily.
The reason Kane hadn’t been making a move was that he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
“I don’t care! I want to go with you!” Josephine whined.
William smiled and left. He didn’t feel it was appropriate for him to watch the two of them having a couple’s quarrel.
Seeing how she was acting, David smiled resignedly and agreed with a nod. When he thought about how the two of them might be sleeping and doing other things in the same room, an excited and lewd smile appeared on his face.
Josephine knocked on his head when she saw how perverted his silly smile looked. “Don’t get any funny ideas. Even if we’re going out together, we’re still going to stay in separate rooms. You’re not going to take advantage of me.”
“More like you’re the one who wants to take advantage of me. The thought of you staying in the same room with me just makes me upset!” David provoked her on purpose.
“You!” As expected, Josephine was enraged. “I’m going to kill you!”
Both of them began to quarrel like a couple madly in love with each other.
The next day, Tommy drove toward Yeringham with David and Josephine sitting in the back.
“Once we arrive in Yeringham, I’ll bring you to visit lots of fun places! It’s been a while since I’ve been there,” Josephine said excitedly.
“You’re familiar with Yeringham?” David glanced at her in confusion.
“Of course! I used to live in Yeringham for a long time when I was a kid. My aunt lives there, and I often visited her in the past. It’s been years since I last saw her.” Josephine sounded sorrowful as she spoke.
Josephine had had a pretty good relationship with her aunt’s family, as she had lived in Yeringham since she was young. However, after her mother’s death, the two families had slowly drifted apart.
“I wonder how my aunt and her family are doing and if my cousins are married.” Worry flashed across Josephine’s eyes.
“I should visit them now that we’re heading there.”
Looking at Josephine, David could feel his heart ache. People often assumed that the daughter of a rich family living a comfortable life would be happy all the time.
However, only he knew that she wanted nothing more than familial love. She lost her mother when she was a child, and she didn’t have any other siblings. It had only been her and her father living together.
After they speedily exited Horington, they entered straight onto the highway. Unbeknownst to them, a black car had been following them all the way.
No one in the car noticed anything strange since there were a lot of cars on the road.
At this moment, in the Whitaker residence, Kane was smoking with a grim expression.
He had spent a massive amount of money hiring famous doctors to fix Tyrion’s leg, including experts from overseas. However, none of them could treat him. The bone had been shattered too thoroughly, so there was no way it could reconnect again. Even if they were to make an artificial bone and replaced it with the shattered one, Tyrion would still be unable to walk as he used to. He would still be a cripple.
“I don’t want to be a cripple! I don’t want to be a cripple!” Tyrion was screaming on the bed like a madman.
There was a woman in an exquisite dress sitting at the side of the bed. She was sobbing quietly as she comforted, “Don’t worry, Ty. We’ll definitely treat your leg!”
