Chapter 37: Darryl patiently endured beatings

Since Myrna was busy at Lightning Company, Regina took a taxi home by herself. Unexpectedly, disaster struck her again. A car suddenly braked suddenly near her, then two men jumped down and grabbed her and put her in the car. Regina was about to scream, but a guy grabbed a white cloth soaked in anesthetic and covered her mouth, a few seconds later Regina lost consciousness and fainted.

The moment Regina woke up, her hands were tied behind her back, and small voices were heard around her.

"Did he come as promised?"

"Not sure, let's see if he really takes this woman seriously?"

"I think he'll come. For over a week he's been like a mad dog. He's found all his enemies and kills, all because someone attacked his wife."

"That makes sense."

Regina pretended to be sound asleep, but she listened intently. Through the conversation between the men who had kidnapped her, Regina dimly guessed what was going on. Darryl has been busy for the past few days, counting back with a faint smell of blood on his body, proving that every night he and his subordinates attack rival mafia gangs. And the reason why he did this recklessly was because he thought that one of the mafia gangs had a grudge against him.

He couldn't determine exactly which mafia gang it was, so he decided to attack all of them. This was really reckless, no wonder the men called him a mad dog. Regina really didn't expect Darryl to do such things for her, she was grateful but at the same time doubted how he knew she was attacked.

The chaotic thoughts aside, for now, Regina was carried to another place by the kidnappers.

Here, she heard Darryl's voice.

"Put her down. Who gave you permission to touch my woman?"

Darryl growled, although Regina couldn't see the expression on Darryl's face because her eyes were covered by a black hood, she could tell that Darryl must be angry.

Then there is a conversation between Darryl and the boss of the mafia gang that kidnapped her. The mafia boss's voice was familiar, but for a moment Regian couldn't remember who it was. They talk about the conflict between the two mafia gangs, that boss seems to be cornered by Darryl, there is no other way to arrest Regina to threaten Darryl.

"Listen, it's because you're too much, you're forcing us. You killed my father, then you messed up, your subordinates raided and destroyed our casino many times."

At this moment, Regina suddenly remembered that the male voice belonged to Sullivan. His father, Harding, was also killed by Darryl, a feud that must have made him hate Darryl for the rest of his life.

"Isn't it because you attacked Regina? If you don't touch my wife, I won't cause you any trouble."

"Who knows who the hell you offended, maybe the guy who attacked your wife is my subordinate? But anyway those idiots didn't succeed, the injection didn't even hit your wife's hand."

"How do you know they attacked my wife with injections?"

A simple question from Darryl was enough to make Sullivan freeze. Indeed, Sullivan was the man behind the Regina attack. Because of a long-standing grudge against Darryl but no way to attack him, Sullivan turned to Regina. In that syringe there is no lethal poison but just a heavy hallucinogenic stimulant, if used once, it is very difficult to quit.

Sullivan's plan almost succeeded, but he wasn't as smart and cunning as his father. And even if he was as good as old man Harding, he couldn't fight Darryl Rider.

Knowing that the plan had been revealed, Sullivan let out a gasp, he had to admit it, and threatened Darryl at the same time.

"What if I do it? You're careful, if you act rashly I'll kill your woman."

Sullivan has nothing to lose, his mafia gang is in decline after the death of his father, and he himself is nothing but his wits and crazy actions.

Darryl knew he could actually harm Regina if Darryl attacked him, so for the time being, Darryl could only order his subordinates to leave the room.

"Yes... that's right, that's how it should be. You should have been more humble from the start, that way your woman won't be caught by me." Sullivan was pleased to see Darryl standing alone in the room with him and his men. "Now, now my revenge begins."

Regina was blindfolded and tied to a chair, so she couldn't see what was happening. Only through the sound could she make some guesses. There were heavy sounds brought up, like the sound of punches and kicks, and then there was the sound of sticks and the clatter of iron shovels. Regina shivered with fear, her body shaking violently.

They're hitting Darryl. However, except for their beatings, barbaric laughter, and gasping breaths, Regina did not hear even the slightest sound Darryl made. She did not know what the situation was now until a loud noise sounded like something very heavy crashed to the ground.

"How's it feeling, okay? You've been quiet too, haven't made a sound until now. You've got me excited, no wonder my dad always told me to be careful of you." Sullivan got down on one knee and grabbed Darryl by the hair to force him to raise his head. "Guys, whoever fights until this kid bursts into tears, I'll reward you with a million dollars."

Sullivan shouted at his subordinates in a barbaric tone.

Darryl lay on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth and nose, soaking his black shirt. His whole body had many bruises and hematomas, he felt several of his ribs broken, making him unable to stand. Although he was often injured, many times severely injured until he almost died, but this time it was indeed the injury that caused him so much pain that he had to grit his teeth.

At first they only used punches and kicks, wooden sticks and iron rods to beat him, but now they even drag electric batons, knives and swords. They intend to torture you until you give up. Darryl knew their goal, but looking at the woman sitting quietly behind Sullivan, Darryl could only grit her teeth and endure.

When the electric baton hit his back, Darryl couldn't help but let out a scream of pain, he writhed on the ground and frowned in pain. When Sullivan saw this, he laughed heartily.

Regina also heard the electric shock, she was extremely worried about Darryl. Not knowing where to find the courage, she moved vigorously to get Sullivan's attention. Sure enough, for the time being, Sullivan signaled his subordinates to stop. He walked over to Regina and removed the black scarf from her head.

Regina blinked for a moment to adjust to the light, then she could see her surroundings clearly.

They were in a rather rudimentary room, except for the bright electric lights on the ceiling, there was only one table and many chairs. On the ground were scattered torture instruments. Just a glance at them with their blood stains was enough to make Regina turn pale with fear. She had never seen such a barbaric prospect. This is like a scene from an action movie, but when viewed in real life, it is much more terrible.

Darryl lay on the ground, barely moving, only his chest heaving slightly to show he was still breathing. He was covered in blood everywhere, this was the first time Regina had seen Darryl so badly injured.

"Darryl, are you okay?" Regina called out in panic.

"This." Sullivan kicked Darryl's side with his foot. "Answer her, she's worried about you."

Darryl opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and he pulled himself up, put his hands on his hands, and stood up. A subordinate came forward and kicked Darryl hard in the leg forcing Darryl to his knees, but Darryl stubbornly refused to do so. The subordinates saw Darryl's stubborn expression and wanted to attack him, but Sullivan raised his hand to signal them to stop.

Regina had been pretending to be asleep all this time in order to stealthily untie the ropes tied behind her back. Her wrists were flexible and small, and she managed to loosen the rope for a while, but her wrists were bleeding and sore from rubbing too much with the rope.

After untie the ropes, Regina did not hesitate to rush towards Darryl. Perhaps no one expected a weak and fragile girl like Regina to be able to untie herself, so Sullivan and his subordinates did not have time to do anything. Just like that, Regina jumped into Darryl's embrace.

Standing close to Darryl, Regina could smell the blood on his body, the torn and swollen wounds looked extremely scary. However, he still held her firmly, his eyes sharp and determined as if he felt no pain in his body.

"Damn it, you idiot, get that woman back to me." Sullivan shouted angrily. Having Regina as a hostage was the only trump card he had, he couldn't afford to lose to Darryl again. Last time losing to Darryl in a car race made him extremely humiliating.

Darryl glared at Sullivan's underlings causing them to hesitate for a moment. Although they were outnumbered in terms of numbers, they were also stronger physically, not to mention Darryl was seriously injured, they were still afraid of that man. The mafia world knows that since the age of 20, Darryl became the boss of a mafia gang, inheriting his dead adoptive father. To be able to lead his father's mafia gang to become the most notorious and scary gang today, Darryl must be a monster. Everyone knows that Darryl has a wolf, that alone is enough to prove his monstrous and terrifying personality.

"Why are you still standing there looking at each other, you guys should beat him up for me." Sullivan urged.

At this point, Darryl tugged on Regina standing behind him, and he picked up an iron rod and charged into the battle. Regina was really scared, she stepped back, banging on the door to call Darryl's subordinates but failed. Perhaps this room is some kind of closed room with soundproofing. Regina thought to herself that Darryl was seriously reckless to be alone in this room without the support of his subordinates. This is tantamount to surrendering your life to your enemy.

Darryl is really good at fighting, he doesn't swing his stick around, but dodges the attack, observes when the opponent shows a weakness and then invites to use a strong force to hit him so that he can't catch it. Several times in a row, several subordinates were defeated by Darryl. However, the difference between the two sides is too great, many times Darryl was also hit in the back and legs, and some even cut his arm. Darryl fell into a low position and had to retreat to the back to defend, but he was still determined to prevent any guy from getting close to Regina.

As danger approached, the door suddenly resounded with a loud bang.

Charles led Darryl's subordinates into the room.

"Sullivan, let me take you to see your father." Charles shouted.

Darryl did not understand why Charles suddenly broke through the door, because without his signal, they would definitely wait outside and not act rashly.

But he also didn't have time to think much, his mind was bright because just now he was hit by a guy's wooden stick, blood ran down his face, making him look at everything red. Before he fell, Regina ran to him and helped him out. With the support of Charles, Sullivan and his minions were quickly defeated.

After just one day, Harding's mafia was gone, like it never existed. The remnants of this gang that escaped after a melee with Darryl's mafia are probably hiding somewhere or joining another mafia gang.

Darryl was taken to the hospital by Regina in a serious condition, after surgery and bandages, he was cared for at the hospital by Regina for half a month.
