Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 582

Ryder sat on the ground after being beaten with one leg slightly bending, blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.

Valeria had been outside the door, hearing the commotion, she barged in immediately.

She saw the two guys, one standing with knuckles clenched, the bandage on his hand turned crimson red, blood dripped on the floor, pretty hard to miss. The other one sat on the floor, though he’d been punched, his naturally aloof demeanor didn’t make him look disheveled.

Ryder wiped the blood from his mouth, got up, “I’ve said my bit, consider this punch a payback for your past teachings and grooming, from now on, I won’t regard him as my uncle or my elder, let’s each mind our own business.”

And with that, Ryder made his exit, the room suddenly fell quiet.
