Chapter 499 Dean strode into the restaurant , his expression dark and menacing .

The moment Hugh saw him , his confidence soared .

He scrambled up from the floor and glared at Andrew with a venomous sneer .

You think youre tough ? Go ahead , slap me again , you punk ! Let me teach you something out here , its all about power and connections ! Andrew raised an eyebrow and asked , Are you sure you want me to slap you again ? Hugh smacked his swollen face and jeered .

Do it ! I dare you ! You wont .

Youre probably so scared right now youre about to wet your pants ! With Madblade Martial Academys martial artists here , Hugh was convinced Andrew would not dare make another move .

In his mind , he was already imagining the scene of Andrew groveling at his feet , sobbing and begging for forgiveness .

Yet , before Hugh could enjoy his fantasy , Andrews hand whipped across his face again with twice the force .

Hugh flew backward , crashing straight into Dean and his men as they entered the restaurant .

Deans quick reflexes saved Hugh from face planting onto the floor .

The rest of the onlookers stood frozen , stunned that Andrew dared to hit Hugh again despite the presence of Madblade Martial Academys crew .

Hugh roared like a wounded animal , pointing a shaking finger at Andrew .

Kill him , Mr.

Mayer ! Tear him apart ! I want him in pieces Ill eat his flesh and drink his blood ! As he raged , Hugh could not wrap his head around how Andrew still had the nerve to strike him .

Dean , on the other hand , had already spotted Andrew and Lauren .

His face turned pale , and he quickly forced a nervous smile as he stepped forward .

Mr.

Lloyd , Ms.

Rhodes I didnt realize you were here ! Lauren gave him a bright but mocking smile .noveldrama

Of course , were here .

Not only that , but we also gave Rodneys loser cousin a proper beating .

I hear youre here to back him up , so what are you waiting for ? Go on , make your move .

Deans face paled further as the realization hit him .

Wait what ? This idiot actually picked a fight with the two of you ? 1/2 ** * Lauren smirked .

What did you think ? Now go ahead and do what you came to do .

Nasty Hugh over there cant wait for you to teach us a lesson .

Hugh , still oblivious to the tension , barked impatiently .

Mr.

Mayer , whats the holdup ? Theyre practically daring you ! Look at me ! Youve seen what theyve done to me .

You have to take them down cripple them or kill them ! I wont be satisfied until theyre completely destroyed ! Deans patience snapped .

Without a word , he turned and slammed his fist into Hughs head with a loud thud , sending him sprawling across the floor .

However , he was not done , He stormed over and began stomping on Hugh with all his might .

You idiot ! How dare you drag me into this by messing with Mr.

Lloyd and Ms.

Rhodes ! You useless , brainless piece of trash ! Hugh could only scream as Deans kicks landed one after another .

Consumed with panic and fury , Dean cursed with every hit , venting all his frustration .

He could not believe his luck .

He had assumed this was a routine job show up , break up a fight , and maybe a fight , and maybe extort some cash .

Rodney had given him straightforward instructions , and Dean had already mapped out the entire process in his head on the way here .

Nonetheless , seeing Andrew and Lauren the two people he least wanted to offend Dean realized he had walked straight into a nightmare .

For a fleeting moment , he genuinely regretted ever stepping into this restaurant .

After losing control of the Northern District , Dean had been a desperate man , scraping for survival .

Hence , he joined Madblade Martial Academy .
