Jonathan was taken aback, wondering where on earth all these people came from, especially since they were looking for him.
"Who are you to speak to my brother like that?" Benjamin complained.
Evelyn had already taken out her phone, ready to make a call. It was clear that these people were up to no good.
"I'm only here for Jonathan. None of your business. Get lost now!" The man said coldly.
His name was Anthony, and he was sent by Joshua to deal with Jonathan.
Just as Benjamin was about to curse, Jonathan stopped him and stepped forward, “You have business with me?"
"Lad, you dared to offend our young master. Today, I'm here to make you pay on his behalf!"
With that, Anthony waved his hand, and over fifty people drew their weapons, all staring at Jonathan.
"Bro, we should run." Benjamin urged quickly.
"Run? Why should we run? They are the ones who should run for offending me." Jonathan said nonchalantly.
Evelyn whispered, "Now is not the time to show off. I've already texted our family. Let's hide for now. Our rescuers will be here soon."
"Yeah, bro, I know you can fight, but they outnumber us. As the saying goes, 'He who runs away lives to fight another day.'" Benjamin persuaded.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Luna, who had just suffered a loss and were preparing to leave, also noticed the situation here.
"What's happening? Where did all these people come from?" Luna wondered.
Andrew looked at the crowd, "There must be a conflict. Luna, isn't the person being surrounded the country bumpkin?"
Jonathan?
Luna blinked in surprise, and upon closer inspection, found that the one in the middle indeed seemed to be Jonathan!
"It's definitely him. Only that country bumpkin dresses like a laborer." Recognizing that the person being surrounded was Jonathan, Andrew burst into laughter, "This is karma. This bastard has humiliated me time and again. Now look, I don't even have to lift a finger to deal with him!"
Luna also laughed inwardly. Jonathan, no matter how strong you are, can you defeat dozens of people?
Do you see the difference between us now? I don't even need to lift a finger to deal with you!
Meanwhile, Jonathan stretched lazily and said to Evelyn, "Tell your family not to come. I can handle these weaklings on my own."
"Jonathan, don't be impulsive!" Evelyn was anxious.
"Yeah, bro, even a brave tiger can't stand against a pack of wolves. They're too many."
Benjamin truly considered Jonathan a friend and naturally didn't want to see him get beaten by a mob.
Anthony sneered, "Thinking of running? Too late! All of you, get him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people rushed up!
"Attack! Kill him!" Andrew, who was watching from afar, shouted excitedly.
Luna's pretty face was full of contempt. She could already envision Jonathan getting beaten up.
But the next second, their expressions changed.
They saw Jonathan push off the ground with both feet and dashed into the crowd like an arrow.
Evelyn and the others were stunned. Was this guy crazy? There were more than fifty people on the other side!
Even if he could fight, it was impossible to take on fifty people at once!
But as Jonathan rushed into the crowd, Evelyn and Benjamin's eyes widened in disbelief.
They saw Jonathan throw a punch, sending one person flying and knocking down five or six others in the process.
Jonathan moved like a nimble fox among the crowd, his punches sending several people flying each time. The thugs with weapons couldn't even touch his clothes!
"Hmph, so you're a martial artist. I underestimated you. But in my presence, you're still going to die!"
Anthony snorted and charged at Jonathan.
Seeing Anthony approaching, Jonathan turned around and charged at him, throwing a punch right at him.
Seeing this, Anthony swung his fist to strike, a cold smile creeping onto his face.
His punch could break a sandbag. In his eyes, Jonathan was seeking his own death by taking him head-on!
Bang! Crack!
The two iron fists collided, and the next second, the sound of shattering bones rang in everyone's ears.
"Ah!"
Anthony screamed as he flew backward!
Jonathan didn't even glance at Anthony. He turned around to deal with the remaining people.
In the end, the only one left standing in the area was Jonathan, like a god of war.
"How is this possible! How can he... how can he fight like that!" Andrew shouted in disbelief.
There were over fifty people on the other side. Was this guy Superman?
Luna also clenched her small hands, a hint of fear in her eyes.
She could never have imagined that this man she had looked down on was so formidable.
After dealing with the thugs, Jonathan walked over to Anthony, stepped on his face, and asked, "Who sent you?"
"Hmph, I have powerful backers. You broke one of my arms, I'll break all four of your limbs next time!"
Anthony, enduring the pain in his arm, threatened fiercely.
Seeing this, Jonathan stepped on Anthony's other arm.
"Ah!"
Anthony screamed again, his other arm also broken!
"That's what you get for acting tough in front of me. Now tell me, who sent you? If you don't, I'll break your third leg!" Jonathan threatened.
Anthony shuddered involuntarily, feeling a chill in his crotch, and quickly wailed, "It was Mr. Cropper who sent me. He asked me to cripple you!"
"Joshua? The guy has guts, daring to plot against his own father," Jonathan left Anthony lying there, returned to Evelyn and Benjamin, "Let's go, let's eat. I'm starving."
Evelyn and Benjamin numbly nodded their heads and followed Jonathan away, leaving behind a group of groaning thugs.
Luna watched as Jonathan and the others left, speechless for a long time. Had she been wrong about him? Was Jonathan really more than what he seemed?
At that moment, Andrew gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, he's just a brute who only knows how to use violence. Luna, in a few days, I'll contact Thomas and ask him to send his best men. They can definitely teach that country bumpkin a lesson!"
Encouraged by this, Luna took a deep breath.
Jonathan, you're just a brute who only knows how to use violence. Once I get in touch with Thomas, you'll see the true power of the Tatham family!
...
At the Cropper family villa.
Smash!
An ashtray hit the ground and shattered.
Joshua sat on the sofa, his eyes red with anger and his chest heaving, "Over fifty people couldn't defeat one person. Trash! They're all fucking trash!"
His roar woke Avery, who had been napping. She came downstairs, "What happened?"
"Sis, Anthony and his men were all beaten by Jonathan!" Joshua raged.
Avery frowned slightly, "They were all taken out?"
"Yes, sis, give me more men. I will definitely take that bastard down!" Joshua roared.
"I underestimated him," Avery thought for a moment, "But don't worry about Jonathan for now. All my men are currently dealing with Evelyn. Evelyn is the future of the Ford family. Once we take her down, everything the Ford family has will be ours. Once I have a free hand, I will deal with Jonathan."
Hearing this, Joshua could only clench his teeth and nod.
Although he wanted to deal with Jonathan immediately, he knew that the family's current target was the Ford family.
"Let him live for a few more days. Once we've dealt with the Ford family, I'll make him wish he were dead!"
