The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 519

The two brothers stare in utter disbelief. They have never seen someone hit with that kind of bone-crushing force before. The remaining thugs hesitate, suddenly terrified to take another step forward.

Refusing to be humiliated in his own territory, Simon roars at his men. "Don't let him scare you! Take him down, right now!"

He refuses to believe that a group of hardened locals can lose to one well-dressed city guy.

But reality has a harsh way of correcting delusions. As the brothers and their thugs rush forward, Danny doesn't even break a sweat. He methodically and ruthlessly kicks them away, one after another.

Tara just stands there, her hands shoved casually into her pockets. She doesn't have to lift a single finger.

Taking out these street-level bullies is effortless for Danny. It requires zero skill—it is quite literally like swatting away gnats. These idiots aren't even a fraction as dangerous as the trained assassin they faced yesterday. Defeating them brings Danny absolutely no sense of accomplishment.

He knows playing the knight in shining armor against bottom-feeding trash won't even impress Tara.

The lobby floor is soon littered with groaning men, clutching their bruised ribs and bloodied faces, entirely unable to stand.

"Wow, Danny, playing the hero so early in the morning?"

Luke strolls through the front door, looking highly amused. He and Bianca have just arrived, catching the very end of the one-sided beatdown.

More importantly, Chief Brenton immediately spots Luke in the crowd. He knows Luke is the wealthy developer planning to build a massive resort in their town. It is a golden opportunity that could finally bring prosperity to the struggling village.

But the project has hit a major roadblock. A handful of families have been stubbornly refusing to sign the land transfer agreements, demanding outrageous sums of money. Luke's visit today is specifically to negotiate with those stubborn holdouts.

Coincidentally, Simon and Eric happen to be the leaders of those exact holdout families.

Listening to the chief frantically apologize to the investors, the brothers piece the situation together. They realize exactly who these city people are. Realizing that Luke desperately needs their signatures to proceed with the resort, Simon and Eric instantly regain their arrogant swagger.
