Chapter 121: David’s Confidence

Facing the six men that were all attacking him, Michael reacted swiftly.

The first man lunged with a confident grin, but Michael’s hand cut through the air in a blur. A single palm strike sank into the man’s chest, folding him instantly and sending him crashing to the side.

The second attacker tried to flank him, stepping in with a tight hook aimed at Michael’s jaw. Michael didn’t even turn his head. He shifted half a step, caught the man’s wrist, and tapped his elbow with the back of his knuckles.

The joint buckled with a dull crack, and the man dropped to his knees, clutching his arm.

The third and fourth came together. One sweeping low, the other diving in high. Michael flowed between them like he had rehearsed this moment a thousand times.

His foot snapped up once, precisely. It caught the sweeping attacker in the temple, spinning him to the ground.

Without breaking motion, Michael slammed his elbow backward into the fourth man’s sternum. The man was airborne before he even understood what had happened.

The fifth fighter hesitated, realizing too late that hesitation was fatal. Michael appeared beside him, his movement almost ghost-like.

A single chop to the side of the neck ended the man’s stance, his legs giving way as if someone had pulled them out from under him.

The sixth, upon realizing that Michael was not an easy target, tried to retreat and reset the fight, but Michael didn’t allow it.

He stepped forward, seized the man’s collar, and drove a short, controlled knee into his abdomen. The man exhaled all at once and folded forward, unconscious before he hit the ground.

In the span of a breath, the underground parking lot fell silent. Six men lay scattered around, each felled by a single, attack.

The other three that were observing were all left dumbfounded by the series of actions that had happened.

For David, he had already been imagining what would happen after Michael was attacked. He was already imagining how Michael would be screaming while receiving a beating.

Never had he anticipated that his men, who were quite skilled at fighting, having already participated in several underground boxing fights, would all be taken down.

Additionally, each one of them had been taken down with just a single strike from Michael. This was something that he had never seen before.

This shocked him to the extent that he began doubting the information that he had received on Michael.

As for Anthony, he was also looking at Michael with a wary expression on his face.

He had already moved, standing in front of David, obviously protecting him.

But, even while he was standing in front of David, he did not have the confidence of facing Michael. The skills and strength that Michael had demonstrated were so frightening.

Kate on the other hand was left amazed. She had not anticipated that Michael had been holding back during the time that they were still in Drenn city.

Additionally, she was wondering, how hard had Michael trained? He was obviously of the same age as herself, but the skills that he possessed were completely unmatched of his age.

Even if Michael began training at a very young age, how was it possible for him to be able to possess such incredible combat skills?

At most, he should have trained for 16 years, assuming that he began training at the age of two.

But, at the age of two, the bones in the body of the child had not yet developed enough, thus it was usually not advisable for a child that age to undergo vigorous training.

Otherwise, it would have a great impact in the future growth and development of the child.

While her mind was still wondering, thinking about how it was possible for Michael to be able to be this strong, Michael gazed at David.

David was looking back at him, fear evident in his eyes. This demonstration was enough to be able to shock this guy, as he had obviously not anticipated such a result.

“Are you still the law here?” Michael asked as he folded his arms in front of his chest.

Dealing with the group of six people, he did not even feel the slightest bit of strain. To him, he was only waving his hand and feet, before he dealt with the group.

“Kid, just because you have some fighting skills, you think that you can win? Let me tell you, it is not always just about brute strength. Sometimes, having connections is also important.” David, recovering his confidence, responded.

Michael raised his brows at David’s words, wondering, what was this guy planning again?

“What is it that you are intending to do this time?” Kate asked the question.

David looked around, before he responded, “There are surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot. As long as I take them to the police, I can accuse you of assaulting my men.

Looking at them, you can see that they have suffered grievous injuries. As long as I take you to the police, you will rot in jail, I can make sure of that.”

“Hey, are you forgetting something? I am a police officer here, and I am a witness. Have I not seen it myself that you are the ones who attacked first?

Additionally, who is going to believe that he attacked six big men, taking all of them down? As for the surveillance, does it not show that you were the ones that attacked first?” Kate asked while looking at David as though she was looking at a fool.

“Hehe! That’s where you are wrong. You are a police officer, but you are collaborating with a criminal. That in itself is enough to have you suspended.

Additionally, in the police station, what position do you hold? I can contact the police chief. And, whom do you believe that the police chief will believe between the two of us?

Moreover, the surveillance video can be edited. As long as I get my hands on it, I can guarantee that this kid will rot in jail.” David chuckled slightly as he responded.

At his words, Kate’s expression shifted. This guy actually had some connection with the police chief? That was going to be troublesome.

Currently, she had not yet accumulated enough merits to get promoted. She had only begun working a few months ago, which was not enough for her to be able to earn enough merits for her to be able to rise in ranks.

“You are talking as if your Kingsley family is the only one that has connections within the police force. And, between your Kingsley family and my Morgan family, whom do you think the police chief will try to please?” Kate responded after a moment of thought.

Even though she usually did not like using her family influence to deal with most of the things, sometimes, there were no any other options.

Right now, with her own capabilities, it was impossible for her to be able to go against the Kingsley family and their connections.

Since this guy was trying to depend on the family connections, did she not have a family as well? Additionally, her family was bigger and wealthier than his.

“You think I will say something without confidence? Anyway, the police chief is my distant relative. He will definitely side with me, as long as I provide the evidence.” David responded, his confidence having reached another level.

Kate had not anticipated that this guy actually had the police chief as a distant relative. She was not sure if he was bragging or not, but from how confident he was speaking, it seemed to be true.

The police chief was in charge of all the police operations within the city. So, if he was really involved, even the Morgan family would have to lower their stance when dealing with the matter.

Kate felt that things were kind of getting out of hand.

This was just one of the reasons why she was usually trying to push herself hard, to get promoted. If she had been the chief of the police within this city, she would not have allowed something like this to happen.

But, no matter what, at the moment, they were at a disadvantage. As long as David involved the police chief, things would definitely spiral out of control.

But then again, she thought about Michael’s mysterious uncle. That uncle was definitely influential. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for him to be able to acquire Sky Technologies.

She thought, maybe there was a possibility that Michael’s uncle would be able to turn things around. As long as Michael’s family was from the central province, the chief of police would definitely not be able to make any waves.

“So, how are you going to get the surveillance footage? What if the owner of the building does not give it to you?” Michael suddenly asked.

“Hmph! Just a small building owner. Why would they not cooperate with me, someone from the Kingsley family?” David snorted as he responded.

Then, he looked at Anthony, who quickly nodded and texted someone.

“All that we need to do is to wait. The building owner will definitely rush here within a few minutes, begging me to take the surveillance footage.” Upon noticing Anthony’s actions, David said with a confident smile on his face.
