Chapter 384 Who Sent You

Whoosh! Whoosh! With the whistling sound of the air, steel pipes were swung towards Daniel'shead. Although Daniel's head was tougher than steel and could have sent the pipes bending, hewasn't about to let them make contact.

With quick fists and kicks, Daniel dispatched the encroaching thugs in less than a minute, sendingthem flying every which way. Jessica was unsurprised by Daniel's combat ability, but Beauty stoodthere dumbfounded. This unassuming country boy was shockingly adept at fighting.

Daniel approached King, scrutinized his colossal head, and asked with a grin, "Who sent you?"

Feeling intimidated after witnessing Daniel's prowess, King backed away, asking, "What... what doyou want to do?"

"I'm asking who sent you here. If you answer honestly, I'll let you off this time."

"No one... no one sent me."

King dared not reveal Beauty's name; after all, he was aware of her standing as a lady of NewYork's Matthews family. The repercussions of betraying such a figure could be dire.

"No one sent you? Then who gave you the ten grand?" Daniel pressed on.

"No one. I was just bluffing!"

"Bluffing?"

Daniel flashed a devilish grin, then landed a heavy slap across King's face.

Smack!

King's cheek swelled instantly. Several teeth were sent scattering to the ground, as he let out ashriek of pain.

"Ah!"

"Why are you hitting me?"

"Who gave you the ten grand?"

"No one did."

Smack!

Another slap came hard and fast. The other side of King's face swelled too, more teeth sent flyingfrom his mouth.

"Ah! You... you still hitting me?"

Smack! Smack!

Daniel delivered two more slaps, one to the left, another to the right. King's head, already swollenfrom the previous blows, now resembled a pig's. A third of his teeth were gone, courtesy of Daniel'shandiwork.

Holding up his palm, Daniel continued to press, "Who sent you?"

"I'm sorry, boss! I won't do it again! Please spare me! I can't tell you who sent me, or I'll die!"

Smack!

Uninterested in prolonging the discussion, Daniel slapped King again.

Smack! Smack!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

...

After a dozen or so relentless slaps, King caved in.

"It was Beauty Matthews, she hired me to chop off your legs."

"Which Beauty?" Daniel pointed at Beauty and asked, "Her?"

Before King could respond, Beauty herself stepped forward.

"Yes, it was me! What about it? You're just a country bumpkin; surely you wouldn't dare slap me,would you?"

"I never hit a woman in the face." Daniel turned to look at Beauty with a charming smile, and added,"And if I did, it would be on the butt."

Jessica immediately grew angry upon hearing such a distasteful comment. She marched over in herheels.

Smack!

She landed a heavy slap on Daniel's backside.
