His imposing manner reminded her of the famous martial arts actors,

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

‘Oh, my God! He is surely mad this time. I'm in big trouble, ' she cried inwardly.

Tessie stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Wesley."

Erica, who had been in a daze for a long time, came back to her senses upon hearing Tessie’s voice. When she saw that Wesley was walking up to her, she turned and ran to the other side of the table reflexively.

"Dad, Let's talk. I will explain everything to you," she shouted.

But Wesley just ignored her. The next moment, he was already gripping her shoulder very hard. The pain was too much for her to bear that she automatically hit back.

Wesley defended himself. After not seeing each other for more than three years, the father and daughter ended in a fight.

Wesley attacked her twice, but Erica just blocked them effortlessly.

With that, an amused smile appeared on his face. She didn't know why, but his smile made her shiver.

"How did you become this strong, Erica?"

He was surprised that she was able to withstand the two blows from him.

It made him wonder how much hardship she had suffered in the past three years that she became more skilled in fighting than before.

Seeing the wonderment on Wesley's face, Erica took the opportunity. She smiled happily and said, "Are you proud of me now, Dad? I am no longer... Ouch, be gentle! I am no longer the same girl who could only run away when you beat me, right?"

Wesley cast her a meaningful glance upon hearing what she said.

Three minutes later, Erica was already lying awkwardly in the yard. Her hands and feet were tied up by a thick rope. Fortunately, Wesley didn't cover her mouth, so she was able to plead, "Dad, let's talk. Don't tie me here like this. It's so embarrassing.”

All of a sudden, she missed Matthew. After he had come here twice, the villagers admired her more.

But Wesley came unannounced and tied her up on the ground. The villagers now witnessed how an old man had defeated their heroine.

He didn't mind her. With hands behind his back, he just silently watched the people he brought moving in and out of the house, taking all her stuff.

After twenty minutes, only the dirty pots and pans were left in the kitchen since no one had the time to clean them up. Erica, who was still tied up, was thrown into the back seat. Wesley then sat in the passenger seat.

Tessie carried her luggage and sat in a car behind Wesley's car.

The two cars drove out of Tow Village immediately. Erica was still reluctant to Leave, but she couldn't do anything. She helplessly stared at the blue sky outside the window.

On their way from Tow Village to Askor, she had always kept her head down. She had never been humiliated like this before. Wesley only untied her when they ate, and when she needed to go to the bathroom.

Other than those, her hands were tied all the time. If she hadn't begged, her feet would have remained tied too.

After spending more than one day in the car, Erica finally saw the gate of the Leonard family residence that she hadn't seen for a long time.
