Chapter 15: Crushing a Skull Barehanded!

Jackson tried to threaten and entice them, but no one paid him any attention. Least of all Joseph. Joseph was looking at Jackson with a cold, detached gaze. "Do you know? Lucy and Tangna are everything to me. No matter what happens to them, it's something I least want to see. They've suffered so much for me." As Joseph spoke, he tightened his grip on Tom. "They've already suffered so much, how can I let anything else happen to them? They are my weakness, and you just touched my weakness." "The only outcome for that is... death!" At that moment, Joseph's eyes were filled with boundless killing intent. His expression struck fear into the hearts of everyone present. "Although I'm someone who enjoys listening to people, I've already guessed what you want to say before you even start. So, I'll give you the answer now." With that, Joseph turned to look at the other people beside Jackson. These people were not part of the Jackson family, meaning they were innocent. "You can leave here because I don't want to hurt you." "Also, I'll show you the way out." "Because I can't bear to hurt you." With Joseph's words, he violently yanked Tom's arm. The action was brutal. At that moment, Joseph saw despair in Tom's eyes. Everyone present could see Tom's future—only death awaited him. "Unfortunately, you provoked someone you shouldn't have." "And the person you provoked is... me!" As Joseph finished speaking, his gaze changed suddenly. In that moment, he seemed to transform into the Grim Reaper. A murderous glint in his eyes sent chills down everyone's spine. Especially Jackson, whose body trembled with fear! He couldn't believe Joseph was actually going to harm his son! "You...!" He wanted to continue speaking, but Joseph paid them no mind. "So..." "Starting today, I want to teach you a lesson—that your fate will be in someone else's hands." "Those who have offended me have all met the same end as you." "To die by my hand is... your honor!" With that, Joseph increased the force in his hands. Tom struggled, clutching at his throat. Before he could react, his eyes exploded. Joseph had crushed his skull barehanded! "Ah! My son!" Jackson screamed and instinctively ran towards Joseph. No parent could endure seeing their child treated so brutally. Especially witnessing their child's gruesome death firsthand! Jackson was overcome with grief. "You actually killed my son! You murderer!" Johnson, on the other hand, felt no particular attachment to Tom. Even though Tom was Jackson's son, Johnson knew Tom was not a good person. His death didn't matter much to Johnson. But he hadn't expected Tom to die at Joseph's hands! To be crushed to death! What kind of power was this? Johnson took a sharp breath. "This man might be more terrifying than we imagined." Jackson, in anguish, pointed at Joseph. "Fire! Kill Joseph!" As his men prepared to raise their guns, Samael appeared not far away, holding a rocket launcher aimed right at Jackson's group. "Let's see who dares to shoot. If you do, you'll all die." And it wasn't just one rocket launcher. Dozens of rocket launchers emerged from the surrounding buildings! How many rocket launchers did these people have?! "Haha, just rocket launchers? Do you think I'm afraid of that?" Johnson sneered. "I thought you had something impressive. Turns out, it's just rocket launchers! Haha! You still don't know how powerful I am, do you?" "We are the largest gang in Los Angeles!" With that, he gestured for his men. Several tanks rolled in, aiming their cannons at Joseph! Joseph smiled slightly. "I thought it was something impressive, but it's just trash tanks." "You!" As Johnson was about to act, a fighter jet flew overhead! This was Los Angeles! No foreign aircraft could fly here without permission! Unless! It belonged to Los Angeles itself! Realizing this, the men exchanged glances. "Why are the Los Angeles officials here?" Before they could find an answer, a broadcast voice came from afar. "Everyone, stand down! Let's see who dares to act!" "No, no!" Saul, realizing his mistake, corrected himself. "Johnson, you take action!" Johnson and his men were stunned. Los Angeles officials were clearly siding with Joseph! Why? As the plane descended, the door opened. Saul stepped out. "Isn't that Saul, the mayor's son?" Johnson didn't understand why Saul was here. His men were about to act, but Johnson stopped them. "Are you idiots?! His presence means the mayor is involved! If you anger the mayor, do you think you'll survive in Los Angeles?!" Before they could react, Saul jumped down. Saul stood beside Joseph, pointing at Johnson and his men. "What are you doing?! Acting like this in the city! Are you ignoring the officials?!" "Johnson, Jackson! Do you two want to go to jail?!"
