Debra took the electric baton from a guard and approached the troublemaker.
The man sized her up and sneered, "Mrs. Houston? What, are there no men left in the Houston family to handle things? I have some standing in Seamar City. What kind of hospitality is this? Making guests wear white flowers. What kind of big family are you pretending to be?"
Debra simply raised the baton and struck him hard on the head. Blood trickled down his face as he collapsed to the ground.
Terrified and furious, he yelled, "How dare you hit people in broad daylight?"
"Caleb despised cowardice," Debra said coldly. "The Houston family doesn't shy away from trouble. Believe it or not, I can make you and your family disappear from Seamar City in three days."
"We'll see about that." The man tried to flee but was quickly blocked by two bodyguards.
Debra snorted, "You think you can act tough here and walk away like that?"
The man trembled in fear, and the onlookers were just as terrified.
Everyone thought Marion had left his old ways behind and that the Houston family no longer dealt in those gray areas. Yet, here they were, acting in broad daylight regardless of the consequences.
"Beat the crap out of him," Debra ordered. "Caleb would like to hear him scream."
"Yes, madam." The guards immediately acted.
Randy gazed at the portrait. Memories of his time at the Houston Mansion flooded back. Caleb had always been the strictest with him.
He recalled the times when Caleb chased him with a stick, punished him by making him stand at attention, and forbade him from eating dinner. Back then, he resented it, sneaking into the kitchen at night out of hunger, only to find Caleb there too, looking for food.
Caleb had patted his head with a gentle smile, saying, "A real man must show strength, not let others see his weakness. You can't always fool around or give up halfway."
After all these years, those memories felt as vivid as yesterday.
The rims of Randy's eyes reddened, and he choked up, "Caleb, rest in peace."
