Chapter 439

It was Lulu Adams-she rarely called Ricky, and she had not done sosince her last return to Sunny City. Naturally, her calling him now tookhim completely by surprise.

While he would have made time to chat with her for as long as he couldon any other day, now was not the time for that.

“Lulu, whatever it is, it would have to wait. I'm very busy right now.”“What are you busy with?"

“Beating up someone. I'm hanging up now-I'll call you later.”

He hung up just as he said, leaving Lulu dumbstruck over on the otherend.

Ricky was young and maybe brash, but he was not going to break thelaw, was he? Lulu quickly called him again, but Ricky was bent onviolence.

He actually found the call irritating, and turned his phone off withoutanswering it.

Lulu kept trying on the other end, and when she was greeted by anautomated voice, she was actually left panicking a little...

James's men led Ricky into a dark room. There were no windows, onlywalls and one steel door that opened from one direction.

Click.

Someone turned on the light, and Ricky quickly found lan on the floor,his hands tied.

He had to close his eyes from the glaring light-he had been kept inconstant darkness and his eyes could not adjust to the brightness thatquickly.

It took a long while for him to open his eyes, and as he narrowed hisgaze at the doorway, he snorted when he saw that it was not Isaac.“Where's Isaac? Is he alive? Irene Spencer may have pushed him outof harm's way, so he most likely survived... Crying over what bits areleft of her, is he?”

He then laughed in contempt. “How I wish to see him baw like a child.”Ricky was incensed. “Still running your mouth when you're alreadydead? I'm going to beat you up so hard your own mother won'trecognize you, or I'm not a Spencer!”

lan snorted in disdain. “Which crack did you crawl out of? Yapping likea dog... Wait, dogs don't have last names. Haha...”

He was all too aware of his situation, but he was not getting away evenif he went down on his knees and begged.

In that case, why do that at all?

Dissing whoever showed up at least makes him feel cathartic!

On the other hand, Ricky was already furious, and lan’s provocation lefthim bounding forward, seizing him by the hall and slamming his headright then.

Thump!

There was a dull thud, and lan felt his mind give out right then.

He was seeing stars, but even before he could recover, Ricky was ontop of him, slapping him from left and right...

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Each hit seemed louder and more painful than the last!

lan turned numb in agony, but Ricky kept hitting him for so long it feltlike a century.

Ricky's palm actually hurt, while lan’s face was as red as it was swollenand barely recognizable from before.

However, Ricky did not have enough, and rose to his feet to kick lanrepeatedly.

“Oh, you don't really cut it. Why don’t you try killing me instead?” lanspat a mouthful of blood.

He quickly caught on that Ricky was prone to anger, and havingimpulsive people like him would only work to his favor.

After all, he knew that now that Isaac had him, he would torment him tothe point where he wished he were dead.

In comparison, dying to Ricky's fists was the better option.

And just as he had expected, Ricky was absolutely fuming as lan wasclearly mocking his fists for lacking strength, so that he could barelyhurt him.

Could he abide by that?! Absolutely not!

He started to look around for a weapon, but there was nothing aroundat all.

His eyes turning red, he grabbed lan by the collar and smashed lan’sown head against his, and actually almost blacked out right then.

The men watching them were all shaking their heads. How stupid didhe have to be to do that?

It was obvious that he was not in their line of work.

Stan arrived just then, and promptly dragged him out of the room whenhe saw Ricky.

lan was never going to escape, and they could deal with him any timehe wanted-right now, they had something more important to do.“What?!” Ricky actually thought he misheard Stan.

Was he joking?!
