Naturally, Yohann and Chase were not going to leave. In fact, they were raring for some action. It wasn't everyday that a golden opportunity dropped into their laps just like that.
A loud sound echoed from outside the door. Boris, who had been in charge of causing chaos during the wedding earlier, entered the room with a group of fierce-looking villagers in tow.
A few men who were dressed in black tried to stop their advance. Boris spared no mercy as he drove his fist directly into one of the men's nose. The man yelped in pain and had no choice but to let them pass.
Boris swaggered into the room and announced loudly, "Jack, we're here! Who dares to mess with you?"
Shawn barked out an incredulous laugh. "Great! Just great!" he exclaimed as he turned to look at his men behind him. "Teach them a lesson they won't forget. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."
Shawn's lackeys swarmed into the room.
At the same time, Boris shouted, "Let's kick some ass!"
The entire room descended into chaos as both parties clashed together in a vicious fight. Since the main event for the day had been Shawn's wedding, no one had brought their own weapons with them. They improvised by snatching up the bottles on the table and smashing them on the heads of anyone who came too close.
Many crumpled to the ground while howling loudly in pain. Blood quickly stained the floor in vivid pools of red.
Those who were on the ground were mostly Shawn's men. After all, Boris was someone who could commit murder without flinching even once. He was a true and seasoned warrior when it involved physical altercations.
Although Shawn's lackeys weren't totally lacking in the fighting department, their skills were far too weak compared to Boris, who took them down as easily as taking candy from a baby.
Leo and Yohann had their sights set on Shawn as they lunged at him. Shawn showed not even an ounce of fear and braced himself for their joint attack.
Leo managed to land a powerful punch on Shawn's nose, breaking it instantly. Meanwhile, Yohann kicked Shawn to the ground and stomped on him over and over again.
It didn't take long before Shawn began crying out for help after being beaten till he was seeing stars. Only after Shawn started to froth at the mouth did Yohann and Leo stop their assault.
Leo spat at Shawn and yelled, "You bastard! We're letting you off the hook way too easily!"
Boris had also dealt with most of Shawn's lackeys who had lingered outside of the room. Suddenly, the ear-splitting wail of a police siren reverberated around the room.
Unfortunately for Yohann, such intimidation tactics were useless against Caleb. Caleb didn't know who Yohann's father was, and he also didn't believe that Yohann hailed from such an influential family. He waved his hand again, directing the officer to drive the butt of the gun into Yohann's abdomen.
Yohann crumpled to the ground while drool leaked from the corners of his mouth. His hands and legs were forced behind his back as he was cuffed and hauled into the police car.
"The stupid fatty has finally gotten his comeuppance! His gang is done for!"
Leo watched on gleefully as Yohann was taken away. He sobered up in the next second, his expression turning somber as he said, "Jack, Chase, both of you have to get out of here right now. I'll cover for you!"
It would be foolish of them to loiter around the scene of the crime any longer. Since the police had arrived, their priority now was to make a quick escape.
However, they were surrounded on all sides by the officers who had their guns pointed at them. Left with no other option, Leo could only raise his arms in surrender.
Despite the less than ideal situation they were in, Jack was still in the mood to joke around. "There's no point in covering for us. Just raise your hands and submit to your fate," he teased as he raised his hands into the air.
