Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1910

Immediately, more than a dozen subordinates were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths. Some were dead, some injured.

Theo's scalp went numb as he wanted to flee. However, with Emily right there beside him, if he ran away, his woman would surely fall into Hank's hands.

He gritted his teeth and desperately charged forward.

Hank gave a sinister laugh, his speed exploding as he grabbed Theo by the throat and slammed him hard against a nearby tree trunk.

The massive tree shook at its roots. That single impact nearly crushed Theo's organs, and he felt like his heart and lungs were about to burst out of his throat.

Hank held Theo's throat tight with one hand and used the other to land two vicious slaps across his face.

Blood and teeth flew from Theo's mouth in a grotesque spray.

Emily stood frozen in shock. "Theo, are you okay?"

Theo silently cursed at Emily for being a dumb bitch. He was practically dying, and she was still asking if he was okay.

"Hank, if you lay one more finger on me, the Fischer family of Blumedale won't let you off!"

Desperate, Theo threw out the family name like a shield, trying to bluff his way out.

Hank still had blood in his mouth and looked extremely vicious as he sneered. "You little mutt, you came barging into my place and think I give a damn about your family? Besides, I already warned you not to look for trouble, but you just wouldn't listen!"

Theo's eyes suddenly filled with terror. "W-Wait… No!"

His scream pierced the air, sending chills down the spine.
