"Brett Green huh? Did you go to same high school as Kate?" Samuel asked just to confirm if he think who he was.
Brett nodded his head. It was good to know that he was not torturing him for nothing. With that out of the way, Samuel wanted to find more about it when he saw few people dashing toward his direction.
" We will be seeing each other soon, Brett Green. I just hope you are prepared for what's coming your way. If I hear you making any noise on your way out, I will come and find you again. Do you understand?" Samuel used his powers to temporarily restrict his pain receptors. His life force ability had became quite prominent which was why he was able to do much more than just heal.
Brett nodded again, feeling his pain subsiding he was able to breathe normally again. He also knew it would be humiliating if anyone saw his mess up face. It was better to get away from here and make a plan of attack to take his revenge.
For the moment, he just wanted to get away from the madman looming over his head especially when seeing him smile so viciously while he broke his fingers like nothing. Brett obviously thought that he was dealing with a psychopath and due to them being unpredictable, who knows what he would do if Brett tried to make a scene.
It was fueled by the intuition that Samuel would break more of his fingers. Brett never wanted to experience that pain again!
" Go on now, the party is over." Samuel whisked his hand away and started walking. He didn't even bother to look at him, Brett didn't know at that time because he was more focused on running away but Samuel didn't see him as human anymore, with the amount of pain that he put Kate through, it was more proper to call him scum and he was an expert in dealing with these type of individuals.
Brett didn't even care about his friends and guards that were still lying unconscious on the floor, he quickly exited the party only looking back to glance at his enemy. He knew once he was out of danger, there was nothing he wouldn't do to repay back ten folds of what Samuel did to him.
" What the hell happened here!?" Darren rushed to the scene only to see a sea of bodies lying at Samuel's feet.
" Nothing, help me wake them up. I can't have more eyes on me right now." Samuel began drenching their faces with water. He didn't know much about Brett or his friends so there was no point in punishing them that included his security. They were only doing their job.
" Are you sure they are not dead?" Despite Darren saying it, he joined Samuel in waking them up.
All seven people woke up not knowing what had happened to them, suddenly they remembered they were in a fight. They could see Samuel smiling at them but where was Brett?
" He ran away with tail between his legs. I suggest you follow him." Samuel only glared at them to make them frightened again. They finally remembered seeing the luminous green hue before passing out. Not to test their luck, they ran away one after another.
" It was impressive for you to knock them out but they all ran away when I came in the picture. Isn't that telling how much people are more scared of me than you? hahaha" Darren puffed his chest up and started laughing.
" You bastard! I told you to stay with the girl. Where were you?" Samuel grabbed his hand and twisted it to his back only inches away from breaking it.
" Aou aou, fuck! You are going to break my arm for just leaving for the loo?"
" Are you telling me you were in the restroom for half an hour?"
"Yes!"
" How come your hands are still greasy? It's more believable to think you were munching on food!"
" Alright fine! Can you please let go of me and tell me what the fuck is going on here? I don't see Emma and Kate too. I am pretty sure I left them here."
Samuel knew there was no way of Darren to know that Brett would be here. It was pure coincidence of him being invited to this party and him asking Kate to come with him. Beside, it was normal for person of his stature to be binging protein, how else would he be able to maintain all that useless muscle!
" Fine." he let him go and said," I will tell you but not here-"
" Why are you brats hiding here? Don't you like the party?" Someone unexpected showed up right when Samuel was about to explain to Darren.
" Old man, why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your army of executives hatching another plan to take over the world?"
" What?"
" I mean through movies. It could be a great plot for a movie right?"
" You know I don't find any of your jokes funny. It would be a benefit for everyone if you just stop right now." Stephen said sarcastically.
" He is right. Just stick to your lousy acting-"
" I should have twisted your arm completely!"
" I am sorry. I am sorry."
" hahaha, you boys sure get along nice. It's nice to be young, speaking of it where are your dates? I briefly saw someone her. She was quite beautiful, I don't know how you manage to convince her to come here fully knowing what would happen."
" Didn't you plan everything from the beginning? The abrupt press conference and journalist's lack of asking me hard question except for few, it went all according to your plan right?"
" Do you think I am some kind of genius mastermind? It's not like I gave them 'incentives' or anything. They asked what they wanted to ask hopefully we can bury this thing in the past and finally move on." Stephen shrugged.
Samuel could tell, he must have made some exclusive offers just to get the media off his back. There was also the anchor who generally had to be neutral but he did support and direct the conversation away from the scandal subtly which did helped him quite a bit.
" I don't know. It's not like I can read minds but I have a very perceptive eye for things." Both man looked at each other and gave a knowing smile.
" So, do I get to meet this beautiful lady or what?" Stephen asked. He was aware of most of Samuel's shenanigans which was why he asked it. There was no harm in at least introducing himself since he knew he would be seeing her a lot judging by the fact that she lived in the city.
" Thats- I don't think you can."
" Why?"
" Something came up and I am sorry but I have to take her home."
" We are going home?" Darren was surprised too. It's only been an hour since they got here. He thought they were going to get drunk and have fun together. He was leaving for LA in few days and knowing Samuel's busy schedule, it was hard to imagine him making time for him.
" Not you. You stay here with Emma. I am taking Kate home."
" Are you sure? If there is something bothering her I can arrange a solution. There are so many people dying to meet you and specifically came for you." Stephen added.
" Yeah, I don't think you can help..but there is something that I wanted to ask you about a particular guest."
" Is that the reason? Did he harassed the poor girl or something?" Stephen was right on money but there was no chance Samuel was going to agree.
" No, no. It's not like that, It's just I find this person interesting. Do you know who Brett Green is?"
" Green? Green....hmm... right, Sir Robert Green. As far as I recall he is the oldest son of Green family."
" Green family?" Samuel had never heard of them but by Stephen's tone they sounded quite prominent.
" Yeah, he is a businessman who mostly deals with clothing and other sectors related to it. He made headlines few years ago when he tried to takeover Marks and Spencer but ultimately failed but he holds several prominent clothing stores in UK and abroad."
" Oh." Samuel also noticed Stephen calling him 'Sir'.
" He is a Knight or-"
" No, civilians hardly get Knight title, he is a Knight Bachelor. But I still don't know why you are asking me these questions."
Knight Bachelor was the basic rank granted to a man who has been knighted by the monarch but not inducted as a member of one of the organised orders of chivalry; it is a part of the British honours system. Knights Bachelor were the most ancient sort of British knight but Knights Bachelor rank below knights of chivalric orders.
" Didn't I tell you the reason already? My curiosity has no bounds." Even though Stephen saw him smiling, it was not the soft and polite face that he was used to seeing. He couldn't put his fingers around it but deep in his heart he felt like he made some sort of mistake by telling him about Robert!
