Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 178 I Want Your Woman

In the distance, I saw a familiar figure slowly making his way over.

"Faris!"

The group that had been chatting and laughing earlier all stood up one by one.

The moonlight was pretty dim tonight, so I couldn't really make out Faris's expression. All I could see was the red glow from the cigarette in his mouth.

He stopped in front of them and pointed at each one with his finger.

Without a word, they all looked a bit scared.

Then, Faris shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards us.

"Faris, what brings you here?" The guy with the crew cut grinned nervously at him.

Faris walked up and, without a word, gave him a hard kick.

The guy didn't dare fight back, not even making a sound.

"Who told you to act on your own?" Faris took the cigarette out of his mouth and asked coldly.

None of them dared to speak. Finally, the crew-cut guy, who had just been kicked, cautiously explained, "Faris, we all know Ethan did it. You've been busy, and with your grandma passing, we know you're not feeling great, so we decided to help you get revenge. We've already investigated. These two women, one is his wife and the other is said to be his mistress. To be safe, we brought both of them here. One of them must be important to him."

Faris suddenly threw down his cigarette and kicked him several more times.

The crew-cut guy kept retreating while being beaten, begging for mercy. "Faris, please, I was wrong."

He backed into the group of men, who also stepped back, afraid of getting involved.

Faris kicked over a beer bottle on the ground, making a loud clanging noise.

One of the men wanted to step forward to clean up the scattered beer bottles, but Faris suddenly picked up a bottle and smashed it against a rock.

The man who had just bent down was so scared he fell to the ground.

Faris picked up beer bottles one after another, smashing both the full and empty ones to pieces. Beer foam and glass shards flew everywhere, and the continuous smashing sounds were deafening. The men didn't dare get close or retreat too far. They stood at a distance, heads lowered, letting the shards splash on them.

Finally, when there were no more bottles to smash and he had vented enough, Faris bent slightly forward, his shoulders rising and falling slowly and heavily.

For some reason, I felt that this frenzied figure was filled with sadness.

The crew-cut guy mentioned Faris's grandma's passing. Was he talking about Cindy?

But I remember the last time Faris took me to see her, she looked so lively and healthy. On New Year's Eve, he even invited me to have a reunion dinner with her. How could this be? Faris stood there for what felt like forever, like he had no energy left to move.

After a bit, the crew-cut guy finally got the guts to step forward and cautiously said, "Faris, if you think it's not right, we can just send them back."

"Send them back, my ass!" Faris snapped.
