Chapter 21
Jacob stood with his back against the three thugs. He frowned at the tense expression on Moira's face.
The man with a cigarette in his mouth winked at the other two. The one with the wolf tattoo nodded at him. He stretched out his right hand and hollered, "Mate, you're in my way!"
Jacob's expression did not change. He slammed his palm onto the tattooed thug's chest.
There was a loud thump. The man flew backwards in surprise. He landed on his back and gasped in pain.
"How dare you hit my brother!" The other thug spat out his cigarette. He roared as he charged towards Jacob and swung at him.
Jacob squinted at the man. He lifted his right leg and planted it on the thug's face. Using the thug's momentum against him, Jacob swept his left leg under the thug's feet, sending him flying. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Oh no! Help! There's a fight breaking out!"
"This is the kindergarten's entrance! Security will be here soon!"
"Don't panic! This is a privately owned kindergarten. The security here is top notch!"
"Move aside! They're coming!"
During the commotion, a team of young, neatly dressed security guards marched their way.
"Oh no! How could you hit someone without warning!" Moira was anxious.
Jacob glanced at her. Without saying a word, he took two steps towards the thug sitting on the floor in pain and slapped him.
The sound of palm hitting flesh was startling. The thug spat, and teeth clattered onto the ground.
"Tell me. Who ordered you to stir up trouble?" He asked, but immediately, he felt the burning gaze of someone spying on him. He turned to look in that direction.
A man stood hidden under the shadow of a tree.
Soon enough, security arrived.
The ruffian sat on the ground. He palmed his cheek with his hand and cried out, "Arrest him! I'm a parent!"
"Liar!" Moira retorted. "I am a parent, and my child goes to this kindergarten. And I have never seen any of you before!"
The captain of the security guards stood out. His eyes brightened. He stared at Jacob in awe. "Bro…" Jacob lifted an eyebrow at him.
The captain was quick to react. "Everyone, do not panic. We will handle this." He quickly announced.
The thug did not give up. He waved his hand and with the other, he rubbed his quickly swelling cheek. "He hit me out of nowhere! Arrest him!"
"This man beat up a parent of one of your students in broad daylight! Aren't you going to do something about it?!" An indignant yell came from the crowd of parents.
So it's you! Jacob's eyes took on an icy quality to them.
He suddenly darted into the crowd. After a series of pained cries, the one that the hoodlums called Jackie was tossed out of the crowd.
Whilst claiming to still be a parent, he turned around and shouted in outrage, "I did not provoke you. Why did you kick me out here?!"
He then turned to yell at the security team, "Are you just going to watch while he beats me up? My son goes to this kindergarten. He is in Class Two!"
"This man is nothing but a thug! He started to beat people up just because we have difference in opinions!" Some other parents started to voice out what they saw.
