Marsh Turner left the school, and was leisurely walking home with his classmates when he suddenly heard boys from the neighboring class saying that William Butch had left with some boys from Class 8.
The boys from Class 8 were the ones who always beat up William.
Marsh paused, hesitated for two seconds, and immediately went to the place where he had encountered William at noon today.
At noon, he had only confronted a few outsiders, who were school acquaintances, and they were wary of him, so he just issued a warning or two.
He hadnât expected them to agree amicably but continue their harassment in the evening anyway.
It wasnât about whether he was willing to help anymore; his reputation was at stake.
On top of that, they had mentioned Daisy Zane at noon.
So it seemed that the issue had to be addressed thoroughly.
Marsh hastened his pace towards the alleyway.
But when he arrived in a rush, he saw people lying all over the ground.
Some were lying flat on the ground, looking like they would struggle to move an inch, while others struggled to get up but couldnât.
Only a guy named Daniel Brown could barely stand by leaning against a wall.
Then there was William, leaning against the wall with his hands on his head, appearing dazed as he stared at the people on the ground.
There was also a long-haired girl wearing a school uniform jacket and a hat, her back facing him.
He couldnât see her face clearly, but her figure seemed familiar.
Stunned by the scene, Marsh stopped in place for a moment.
But the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Although he couldnât see her eyes beneath the brim of her hat, he still felt the sharpness of her gaze, much like a knifeâs edge.
Just after looking at him, the initial sharpness faded slightly, and then she turned back around.
Marsh felt that she wasnât targeting him, so he stood still and didnât move.
Daniel Brown was the first to fall. Lying on the ground, he looked at the girl, who easily managed to take them all down.
And she seemed especially ruthless with them, as if she was trying to take their lives.
Leaning against the wall and trembling, Daniel asked, âWhat do you want? We have no grudges against each other. Why are you treating us like enemies?â
Daisy Zane kicked a leg by her foot and pushed it aside. Then, she pulled Williamâs hands away from his head, grabbed his arm, and drew him to her side. She asked, âHave you ever beaten someone up?â
Upon hearing these four words, not only did Daniel Brown jump in shock, but even Marsh Turner was startled.
A womanâs figure, but with a voice that sounded like a manâs.
A cold and clear male voice.
During the hellish training Daisy Zane had experienced years ago, she had always used this voice, which she learned on purpose.
William, still shrinking his neck, shook his head after a while.
Getting an answer, Daisy grabbed Williamâs arm and pulled him right in front of Daniel.
Williamâs small frame seemed to be dragged by her.
He wobbled a bit when they stopped before steadying himself.
Still in her masculine voice, Daisy asked, âHow many times did he hit you just now?â
William lowered his head and said nothing.
Daniel asked, âWhat do you want?â
Daisy ignored Daniel and continued, âSince you wonât say, I only heard one slap. How about this, Iâll repay it five times, thatâs fair, right?â
âNo, no need,â William said as he tried to pull his hand away.
But Daisy Zane clenched her fist a little tighter and then chuckled, âKid, youâre in my hands now. Whether or not to use, itâs not up to you.â
William Butch buried his head even lower, shaking his head stubbornly, âIâ¦I donât hit people. Iâ¦I canâtâ¦I wonât.â
Daisy Zane didnât care what he said or his resistance, and with a strong swing of her arm, she forced William Butchâs hand on Daniel Brownâs face.
Although he did not use force and his wrist went limp, Daisy Zaneâs strength was enough to make it hard.
For so many years, William Butch had only been on the receiving end, this was the first time he hit someone. He clearly felt his hand slap someone elseâs face.
The unfamiliar feeling immediately made him tremble all over. William Butch became even more resistant, trying to pull his hand back.
But he was no match for Daisy Zaneâs strength.
Daniel Brown, being hit, leaned against the wall, covering his face in humiliations and anger, âYou dare to fucking hit meâ¦.â
Daisy Zane grabbed Williamâs hand again and slapped Daniel Brown, âThis is what he owes you. This force wonât kill him.â
Marsh Turner swallowed his throat at these words. How did she know which force could actually end his life?
Daisy Zane hit Daniel Brown again, and he was immediately rendered speechless.
Daisy Zane said, âAlthough I prefer peace, sometimes, using force can solve many problems. Like when your personal safety is threatened.â
William Butchâs constantly trembling hand gradually steadied a bit.
âYou have to learn to fight back, the strong never get bullied.â Daisy Zane said, as she gave Daniel Brown another hit.
And this time, she didnât stop.
She immediately followed up with another blow. Since William Butch wasnât resisting now, this hit was even harder than the previous four combined.
Daniel Brown directly covered his face and slid down against the wall, sitting on the ground.
Daisy Zane let go of Williamâs arm, then walked towards Daniel Brown again.
When Williamâs arm was released, it hung down by his side. The warmth in his palm was familiar, the same warmth as when he gets hit on the face.
Except today, he hit someone else.
Seeing her approach, Daniel Brown suddenly burst into tears, covering his face and crying, âI was wrong, I wonât ever hit or bully people again, I know I was wrong.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Daisy Zane looked down at his tear-soaked face and asked, âWhy did you target Daisy Zane?â
Marsh Turnerâs expression shifted as he looked at her silhouette. He thought, is she Daisyâs friend? Did she come here for Daisy?
Daniel Brown was frightened, understanding that if he didnât speak up, he would be beaten even worse. He said with a sob, âI donâtâ¦I donât know. A girl suddenly came to me.â
Daisy Zane listened quietly.
âW-we often hang around near the school, and that girl suddenly approached us. She asked us to find a way to bring Daisy Zane out,â Daniel Brown continued, âShe wanted us to take Daisy Zane under surveillance in the forest at Forest Park so they can capture some inappropriate videos of her. The woman also said we could make it extreme, to capture more, make it scandalous.â
Listening to this, William Butch looked down and pursed his lips.
Marsh Turner walked over and kicked Daniel Brown, âHave you grown too courageous? How dare you mess with anyone! You were lucky not to die at noon!â
Daisy Zane glanced at Marsh Turner and continued in a male voice, âDid you see the girlâs face?â
âNo,â Daniel Brown moved a little further away from Marsh Turner and said, âShe was very well wrapped up, tighter than you, not even her fingers were exposed.â
Daisy Zane fell silent for a moment, then asked, âWhen did she approach you?â
After thinking for a while, Daniel Brown said, âOnâ¦Sunday evening. She also gave us a huge suitcase, filled with cash.â
Marsh Turner cursed and said, âSo why did you guys go after William Butch?â
Daniel Brown was even more scared, moving further away and looking at the person lying on the ground. âWe often eat together with people from your school. I told them about this, asking them to help bring Daisy Zane out. They seemed to have a grudge with Daisy Zane and agreed very quickly. And then they found William Butch.â
Daniel Brown sniffed and continued, âBut this William Butch seems weak and easy to bully, but he is stubborn. No matter how much we hit him, he wouldnât take us to Daisy Zane.â
