Chapter 257 Dirty Trick
Jack glanced at Isabelle and then turned to the group.
Frank grinned when he saw Jack returning.
Frank's friends, however, sneered disdainfully. They thought Jack had shown some backbone, but it turned out he was coming back after all. With ill intentions, their gaze shifted to Isabelle. Frank called off his rude bodyguards and quickened his pace to personally welcome Jack. He said, "Good boy, come over here."
He reached out his hand.
The young, handsome lad suddenly grabbed Frank's wrist. With a forceful move, he twisted Frank's arm behind his back and kicked him hard in the lower back.
The bodyguards were shocked and rushed to catch Frank, but they underestimated the force of the kick. The kick sent Frank flying like a bowling ball, knocking down the bodyguards.
Jack was evidently angry. He intended to teach this lecherous old man a lesson. He charged forward, attacking Frank again.
The bodyguards tried to restrain Jack.
Frank, known as Mr. Redding, was wealthy and powerful, with well-trained bodyguards hired from a Teputable security company.
One against three was usually not a problem.
However, these bodyguards received their training in controlled environments. They were no match for Jack, who had fought his way through harsh terrain in Melfrey.
Jack kicked one of the bodyguard's legs, breaking it, and elbowed another in the neck.
Jack's strikes were usually lethal, especially in Melfrey, where mercy wasn't necessary. White Owl frowned and called out, "Jack."
He was reminding Jack not to kill anyone.
Although Isabelle could handle it, White Owl preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Isabelle stopped him.
Jack decided to follow White Owl's advice.
Holding back slightly, he adjusted his strike, aimed at the man's heart, to break his chest bone instead.
These people were too weak. Jack had them all on the ground in no time, even throwing Frank's sleazy friend against the wall, knocking him out cold, but it didn't satisfy his anger. That kick nearly killed Frank. He struggled to stand. When he turned around, he saw all his bodyguards were down.

As Jack's gaze returned to him, Frank shivered and collapsed to the ground.
"Don't do anything rash. I'm from the Reddings. I'm the Reddings Group's chairman. I run this city," Frank stammered as he looked at Jack's clenched fist, nearly wetting himself. "You can't afford to offend me. If you dare to touch me, you'll regret it."
Frank swallowed hard and glanced at Jack's companions.)
"Don't be impulsive. Think of your friends. If you leave now, I'll forget this ever happened."
After Frank finished speaking, he noticed the girl-Isabelle-was smiling.
His threats seemed like a joke to her.
Only then did he realise the girl looked familiar, but he couldn't place her. He didn't have time to recall.
The hotel security guards arrived, alerted by the noise, and said, "Mr. Redding."
This hotel belonged to Frank.
When he saw the manager and guards arrive, Frank's demeanour changed instantly. He pointed at Jack and shouted, "Quick, arrest him."
Frank struggled to stand and said, "Teach this insolent foreigner a lesson. Take me to the hospital."
The White Owl watched Frank's ugly behaviour and got angry. He put down his luggage and turned to deal with the approaching guards.
Years of indulgence had weakened Frank. He couldn't withstand two of Jack's kicks. When she noticed Jack's anger, Isabelle proposed a solution. Jack found it repulsive.
Since Jack was still angry, White Owl reluctantly assisted with the dirty task-stripping Frank and tying him to the column at the hotel entrance. The receptionists and staff were too scared to intervene.
Frank, who liked wild games in private, had never experienced such public humiliation and passed out
from the shock.
"That man does have significant power in Taragon," White Owl said, recalling who Frank was.
Jack looked at Isabelle.
Isabelle asked, "Compared to Danny?"
White Owl replied, "He doesn't come close."
Isabelle said, "Then there's nothing to worry about.
There was nothing to worry about. They didn't need to involve anyone else or handle it personally. Danny alone was enough.

If Danny hadn't left earlier, this incident wouldn't have happened at all.
Danny's reputation as the troublemaker of Taragon was well-earned.
Aside from the Holmes, only the Harrisses could control Danny.
Isabelle suddenly remembered, "My car only has two seats. You'll need to find another ride, White Owl."
White Owl nodded and said, "Alright."
Isabelle said. "No need to go far. Just get one from the hotel."
