"You better be honest!"
"How much do you have on you? Hand it out!"
"If I were you, I would've left Sea City a long time ago. Luke has been long dead and you have no one backing you, yet you're still in Sea City. Are you staying because you think your other brothers are living terribly, so you want to compensate them?"
"You'll have to be as honest as how arrogant you were back then when Luke was alive!"
"Kurt Will, don't blame us brothers for being ruthless! If you want to blame someone, blame Luke Jones for dying too early!"
…
A familiar name and uneasy cries rang out in the alley. Stefan furrowed his brows.
He would never forget the name Kurt Will.
Kurt was one of Luke's loyal men. He had always been his bodyguard, protecting him. He was one of the first in the gang to know about Luke's wish to sacrifice himself for Gwen and was the first one to support his sacrifice for the one he loved.
Kurt had always been a quiet, loyal man. Luke had also once predicted that after he left, Kurt would be bullied, which was why he gave Kurt some money before his surgery and told him to leave Sea City and Merchant City to start a new life.
Why, then, was Kurt here?
At that thought, Stefan hesitated for a while before rushing over to where the commotion was.
The reality was much crueler and more violent than what he predicted.
When Stefan got into the alley, he noticed about six thugs with iron bats, forcing Kurt into a corner and extorting him for money.
The bloodied Kurt was in a delivery man's uniform, his clothes already torn. One of his arms swayed loosely in front of him, seemingly broken.
