chapter 13 Tragic ending!

Upon seeing everyone had left, the doctor hurriedly got up and ran towards the back door of the bar.
A black Highlander was parked at the back door. The doctor jumped into the car and sped away.
The Irwin family had a powerful influence, ruling over Riverway City for many years. Today was the 80th birthday of the Irwin family's patriarch, so all the influential figures in Riverway City came to celebrate.
Luxurious cars parked in front of the Irwin family's house were almost comparable to a large car exhibition.
As everyone took their seats, the patriarch of the Irwin family, Mr. Ronan, appeared, his hair and beard were all white, but he was full of energy. He wore a Tang Suit, his face was full of red, and he was helped out by two young girls.
Various bigwigs came forward to congratulate him.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday. Today, I just want everyone to be happy, so don't hold back, let's have a good time. As an old man, I enjoy the bustle," Mr. Ronan said.
Just as Mr. Ronan finished speaking, a figure staggered in and ran all the way to Mr. Ronan.
It was the doctor.
The doctor was in a very sorry state, his clothes were tattered, he was covered in dust, his hair was soaked with sweat and messed up like a bird's nest, and there was even a bit of blood on his face. Suddenly rushing to Mr. Ronan, he startled the old man and caused him to step back.
Most of the people here knew the doctor, especially Santiago Lambert, the leader of the Crimson Blood Alliance. With his status, he could only wish Mr. Ronan a long life from a distance. The doctor's recklessness, if it upset the Irwin family, would not end well.
"Doctor, what are you doing? Today is Mr. Ronan's birthday, do you have any manners?" Santiago hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.
"Santiago, is this one of your men?"
Mr. Ronan didn't recognize the doctor. He was not of sufficient status to catch his attention, but he had some impression of Santiago.
Santiago, a man in his forties, was called by his first name. If it had been anyone else, he would have been angry long ago, but in front of Mr. Ronan, he could only feel honored and said, "Mr. Ronan, this is one of the hall masters of my Crimson Blood Alliance. I don't know what he ate wrong today, disturbing you. I will take him back and teach him a lesson."
"You'd better teach him well, Santiago. You're a person of status, how come your subordinates don't know any manners? It seems that you have been too complacent as the leader," Mr. Ronan slowly said.
Sweat streamed down Santiago's forehead, these words were enough to show that Mr. Ronan was angry. With Mr. Ronan's status, replacing him as the leader of the Crimson Blood Alliance was just a matter of a word.
"Mr. Ronan, please calm down. The doctor was just too admiring of you, that's why he behaved so foolishly," Santiago hurriedly explained, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he looked at the doctor. He had worked hard to get to his position today, and if he lost the seat of the leader because of this, the doctor would have no need to live.
"Is that so?" Mr. Ronan looked at the doctor.
The doctor shuddered, not because Mr. Ronan was angry, but because of Abraham. Although he had been safe all the way, he felt a dangerous aura enveloping him.
"Thud"
The doctor fell to his knees.
"Mr. Ronan, I know that with my status, I am not worthy of your attention. The reason I rushed to you today is because I have no choice but to do so," the doctor squeezed out two tears and cried out.
"What kind of hardship?" Mr. Ronan frowned.
"I accidentally saw that the Dragon Hawk Society wanted to capture Leland, and Kane is a member of your Irwin family and has a noble status. So I risked my life to protect him, but I was alone and weak. In order not to reveal Kane's whereabouts, my dozen or so brothers were brutally killed, and only I managed to escape by risking my life. I beg you to stand up for me."
"Who is Leland?" Mr. Ronan asked in confusion.
"Father, Leland is a distant relative of our family," said Leonel Irwin, the current head of the Irwin family, stepping forward and whispering.
"How dare you!" Mr. Ronan was furious and yelled at Leonel, "How are you running the family? Even a small Dragon Hawk Society dares to ride on the head of our Irwin family."
"Father, please calm down," Leonel hurriedly soothed, then turned to Santiago and yelled, "Is your Crimson Blood Alliance just eating for nothing? If that's the case, I don't think there's any need for you to exist anymore."
Santiago's scalp was numb, but he was confused and looked at the doctor and asked, "The Dragon Hawk Society and our Crimson Blood Alliance have always been peaceful, why did they suddenly make a move on Kane? How many people did they send?"
"First there were seven or eight, all of whom I took down. Then four people came."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Santiago yelled, "Nonsense! You took down seven or eight people, but four people killed more than a dozen of you, that's absolute nonsense."
The doctor was sweating profusely and hurriedly knelt to Mr. Ronan, crying out, "I dare not lie, although there were four people, only one of them actually made a move."
"One person?" Santiago exclaimed.
Not to mention Santiago, the people around shook their heads, thinking that the doctor was just joking.
The doctor was anxious, "I'm telling the truth, just in the blink of an eye, my men were all dead. He also asked me to give a message to the Irwin family."
"What message?" Leonel demanded.
"He said, give you one day to deliver Leland to the Dragon Hawk Society. Otherwise, he will personally come to get Leland."
"Bastard." Mr. Ronan roared in anger, someone dared to threaten the Irwin family, he pointed at the doctor and yelled, "Take him away."
The doctor shivered and was taken away by the Irwin family's men. If he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin.
"Mr. Ronan, everything I said is true, that man, he's simply not human, he..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, he suddenly clutched his throat with both hands, his mouth wide open, his eyes bulging, and his entire face twisted out of shape.
"Save me!"
The doctor reached out to Mr. Ronan.
"Bang, bang"
Two eyeballs suddenly popped out and rolled to Mr. Ronan's feet, then burst open, splashing blood on Mr. Ronan's shoes.
The two girls who were supporting Mr. Ronan were frightened and screamed, stepping back and causing Mr. Ronan to fall over with them.
Everyone was stunned, not caring about the fallen Mr. Ronan, all looking at the doctor in horror.
The doctor's eyes had burst out, leaving only two black holes, black blood gushing out, looking extremely terrifying. And his mouth was still opening wider and wider, until in the end even the corners of his mouth were torn.
The doctor's neck was also constantly twisting, making a chilling sound of bone cracking, and finally his head turned 180 degrees before stopping.
This scared the people standing behind the doctor out of their wits, screaming one after another.
Just as everyone's hearts were about to stop, the doctor's body fell with a "thump", and there was no more movement.
At this moment, the entire Irwin family was as silent as death.
The air was filled with a nauseating stench, some people were so scared that they lost control of their bladder, some people's eyes rolled back, and they were scared unconscious.
The Irwin family was not a small family, but one of the old families of Riverway City.
Such a powerful family, especially on the 80th birthday of the patriarch of the Irwin family, had such a terrifying incident happen, which was unexpected to everyone.
The bigwigs who had come back to their senses began to make their excuses and leave.
In the past, they took pride in stepping into the gate of the Irwin family. Now, they just wanted to get as far away as possible. Looking at the doctor with his terrifying death, they had a feeling of being in hell.
A banquet that was supposed to be full of joy ended in tragedy.
Meanwhile, Abraham had returned to the territory of the Dragon Hawk Society.
"Sir, it's already noon, I'll arrange lunch now." Lincoln now revered Abraham as a god.
"No need," Abraham waved his hand, "I have a favor to ask of you."
"No trouble, no trouble," the originally dejected Lincoln almost jumped up with joy, "Sir, please give your orders, even if it's climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of oil, I, Lincoln, will not frown."
"It's not that serious, just help me check on three people." Abraham said with a bit of amusement.
"Sir, please tell me, I guarantee I'll dig up everything about their eighteen generations." Lincoln pledged enthusiastically while patting his chest.
Abraham found it somewhat amusing that Lincoln was quite suitable for the underworld, exuding a strong sense of the streets.
"Chance Porter, Stephen Zielinski, David Lewis, these three are all locals, twenty-four years old, and just graduated from Riverway University not long ago. Remember, don't harm them," Abraham instructed.
These three had been his roommates, and they were present when he was arrested. Perhaps they knew something.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it," Lincoln replied eagerly. This was a task Abraham had assigned to him, and he couldn't afford to delay.
"Do you want to return to Hidden Dragon Villa, sir? I can take you back," Elias asked.
"You go ahead, I'd like to wander around for a bit. Riverway City has changed quite a bit, and I've been back for several days but haven't had the chance to explore," Abraham replied.
"May I accompany you, sir?" Elias asked cautiously.
Abraham didn't refuse; having a chauffeur was convenient.
"Sir, where would you like to go?" Elias inquired.
"Riverway University."
