Chapter 443: The Vile Are Never Still

The next morning, the actor and actress put their plan into motion.

The actress invited the uncle to meet for a chat and lunch. Dressed beautifully, she spent the whole time showering him with affection. The uncle was utterly captivated, wishing he could... with her right then and there.

"Babe, there’s nothing fun to do outside, and it’s scorching hot. Why don’t we go to your place? I’ll buy you a comforter, some daily necessities, whatever you need. That way, you’ll be all set to stay there tonight."

The actress didn’t hesitate, leading him to a high-end shopping mall where she had him buy a ton of things. But after they returned to her apartment, she refused to stay, complaining that it was too hot without an air conditioner.

"Let’s go to a hotel. I’m so hot, I want to take a nice shower and cool down. You can have someone install an air conditioner for me tonight, can’t you? Otherwise, how are we supposed to stay here as it gets hotter?"

She was the one who suggested a hotel, much to the uncle’s delight.

"Alright, babe. Which one do you want to go to?"

The actress used his phone to pick a hotel, and soon enough, the two of them were in the room.

The moment they were inside, the uncle eagerly started getting handsy. The actress dodged his groping, insistent that he go shower first.

"Don’t be in such a hurry. We have all the time in the world. You go get cleaned up first, and then we can take it slow."

Overjoyed, the uncle tried to pull her in with him, but the actress said shyly,

"We’ve only just met... I’m a little shy. Be a dear, you go first. I’m just going to take off my makeup."

She coaxed and cajoled him into the bathroom. A moment of rustling, RUSTLE RUSTLE, was followed by the sound of running water.

Outside, the actress ripped her own dress, smeared her makeup, and opened the hotel room door.

The other group of people, the ones Faye Fisher had called, stormed in at once.

The man leading them was tall and brawny, with a buzz cut, large sunglasses, a thick gold chain, and arms covered in tattoos.

He started yelling at the actress the moment he was through the door.

"I’ve been looking for you for two fucking days, and I finally find you here! At a hotel with some guy? Have you got a death wish? I’ll deal with you when we get home! Who’s the other man? Where is he? Get your ass out here!"

As he spoke, his crew of thugs shut the room door behind them, swarmed the bathroom, and started pounding on the door. BANG! BANG!

Hearing a man’s voice outside, the uncle quickly shut off the water. Wrapping a towel around himself, he yelled out,

"What’s going on? Who’s out there? Babe, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? You dare mess with my wife, you bastard? Get the fuck out here!"

The moment he opened the door, the uncle was terrified by the sight that greeted him.

’So many men... And they’re all so menacing, packed with muscle. This is...’

Before he could even process what was happening, someone grabbed him by the hair, dragged him out, and shoved him in front of the man in sunglasses.

The uncle slammed into the man’s chest with a THUD.

The man in sunglasses was a full head taller than him. Staring up at the mountain of a man, the uncle’s lust evaporated in an instant, replaced by pure terror.

"Wha-what’s going on?"

The man in sunglasses grabbed him by the collar. "You have the fucking nerve to ask me what’s going on? You drag my wife to a place like this, mess her up like this, and you ask me what’s going on? You dare to touch my woman? Didn’t you fucking bother to ask around who I am? Do you have a death wish?!"

"What? Your woman?"

The uncle looked at the actress in terror. "Didn’t you say you were single?"

The man in sunglasses sneered. "Single? You ever seen a single woman this beautiful? Are you fucking blind?! And even if she were single, you think a loser like you would have a chance? I see what you are. You’re a coward who doesn’t have the balls to own up to what he did! Just trying to deny it after you had your fun!"

As the man in sunglasses berated him in a cold, deep voice, the actress rushed to his side, tugging pitifully on his arm.

"I never said I was single, honey! I told him I was married, but he... he’s the one who insisted on bringing me to this hotel! I couldn’t fight him off, he forced me! WAHHH... I was so scared just now. I was about to call you for help while he was in the shower, and then you showed up. Honey, he took advantage of me... I don’t want to live anymore! You have to get justice for me!"

The uncle froze, but before he could say a word, the man raised his hand and swung it, slapping him hard across the face.

The force of the blow sent him stumbling back several steps, and he could feel his molars rattling in his jaw.

"You’re courting death! You dare to pull this shit on my watch? If I don’t waste you today, then my decades as Flash have all been for nothing! Brothers, what are you standing around for? Get him!"

The uncle was still staggering from the slap when the menacing crowd of thugs rushed him. Some grabbed his neck, others pinned his arms, and in an instant, he was slammed to the floor.

"Wait, wait! Listen to me! It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding, sirs! I swear, it’s a misunderstanding! I really didn’t know she had a husband! I didn’t know she was your woman! I... we didn’t do anything! We just got here! Check the security cameras if you don’t believe me! I didn’t do a thing to her! I was wrong, I was wrong! I’ll never see her again, I swear! Just let me go, please? I promise I’ll never see her again!"

"SOB SOB SOB..." The actress started crying even louder.

"He’s lying, honey! He did too take advantage of me! Otherwise, my clothes wouldn’t be... He forced me to come here, I swear! Honey, you have to make him pay!"

"Damn it! A coward who won’t own up to what he did! Now you’re trying to sling mud at my wife? Take a good look at yourself! Who the hell do you think you are?"

As he spoke, the man walked over and kicked the uncle square in the face.

"A piece of shit like you calls himself a man? Brothers, what are you waiting for?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the thugs started wailing on him, a flurry of fists raining down.

Every blow seemed to land directly on bone, and the uncle shrieked in agony.

"Stop hitting me! Please, stop! I’m innocent, I swear! Spare me this once, I’ll never do it again! I’ll never do it again! Boss, please, have mercy, stop hitting me!"

The man made a gesture to stop. The thugs backed off. The uncle lay on the floor like a dead pig, gasping for breath. The man walked over and stood over him, looking down.

"Just because you say you’re innocent, that makes it true? You brought my wife to a hotel and did this to her, and all my brothers saw it. How am I supposed to show my face after this? Huh? Tell me! If I let you go, how the hell am I supposed to face anyone?"

The uncle didn’t know what to say. He looked at the man’s terrifying expression and wracked his brain.

"But I really didn’t do anything, Boss..."

"Fine. Playing tough, are we? Then you can save your explanations for the King of Hell. Boys, keep hitting him."

"No, no, no!" The uncle was terrified of another beating. He struggled to lift his head.

"I was wrong! I admit I was wrong, okay? Boss, please let me go! Just spare me this one time. I’ll do anything you want."

"Anything? So I can call the cops, tell them you sexually assaulted my wife, and you can spend a few years in prison?"

"No! No, Boss! Don’t call the cops! As long as you don’t call the cops, we can talk. Anything."

"No cops? After all the damage you’ve caused me? Then you tell me. How are you going to compensate me?"

The uncle wasn’t a complete idiot. By now, he had figured out what was going on.

’No wonder such a beautiful woman had just happened to cross his path and come on to him so strongly. It was a setup.’

’But what good did figuring it out do now? He was already caught in the trap.’

If he didn’t give these people what they wanted, there was no way he was walking out of here today.

"What do you want, Boss? Whatever you say, I’ll do it. Okay?"
