The movements of the three wasn't slow at all. In fact, they were fast as they were professionals and had undergone vigorous training.
The reason as to why they moved forward together was due to the fact that they wanted to subdued Jack and not to beat him up. So, to make sure that he suffered no injuries, they had to move together.
Although Jack had some muscles on him, they didn't think too much about it. After all, what could a little teenage brat like him do?
They didn't know how mistaken they were when they underestimated Jack. If this was before, they could have indeed subdued him easily with the combined effort of the three of them. But now that Jack was a professional combatant, they were absolutely no match against him.
The moment that they made a move, Jack narrowed his eyes. Currently, not only had his strength increased, but the strength of his five senses had been drastically improved as well as his sense of danger.
One of the bulky men stepped forward at a fast speed as he stretched his hand towards Jack's shoulder. On the other hand, the other two moved towards the sides ensuring that they blocked Jack's escape route.
Their movements were abrupt and the guards of the mansion failed to react on time. Furthermore, Jack was closer to the bulky men than he was to them. So, they knew that by the moment that they arrived before Jack, they would be too late. But even so, they made a move.
The moment that he noticed the hand that was coming towards him, Jack didn't act rashly. He calmly leaned to the side, evading the hand that was trying to grab his shoulder.
Then, he stretched his hand forward and grabbed the hand that was trying to be retracted. His motions were swift and fast. Every move of his was precise and accurate. The moment that he grabbed the hand, he immediately pulled the stunned bulky guy towards him before using his shoulder to bang onto his chest.
The moment that they connected, Jack released his hand and let the guy fly a few feet backwards from the force. But of course, Jack had made sure not to use his full strength at this moment. Otherwise, he would have broken some bones in that guy's body.
The reason for going easy on him was obviously due to the fact that this guy was just doing someone else's will. Otherwise, Jack wouldn't have been so polite.
The moment that the guy went for the grab to the moment that he was sent flying happened in just a matter of seconds. Nobody had foreseen such a result the moment that the three made a move.
The two that were just about to grab jack from the sides immediately paused their movements as they stared at Jack cautiously. They were people who had experienced fights many times and they didn't dare to be careless when facing someone like Jack.
At this moment, they could tell that Jack wasn't an average youth. He was someone that had strength to compete against them.
Although they were stunned, they still maintained their attentive postures, ready to make a move as long as Jack made one.
On the other hand, the guards that were charging forward madly and angrily immediately paused for a moment. They stared at Jack with wide eyes, not knowing what to do.
As for Dalton and Steve, they were motionless as they stared at Jack as if they didn't know him. Well, that could be said to be true considering the fact that they never interacted with him with the intention of knowing him at all.
Their mouths were agape at this moment as they stared at Jack. According to what they knew about Jack, although he trained in the gym, they never thought that he was a master when it came to fighting.
After all, only a master when it came to fighting would have the capability of throwing back a strong person like the one that Jack had just thrown.
After a moment, Dalton regained his senses. The moment that he thought of what was waiting for him the moment that he went back without Jack, he immediately roared to the two that were still standing at the side while looking at Jack.
"What are you two waiting for? Grab him! Attack at once! How can a little boy make the both of you so afraid? Aren't you paid for such works?"
This shout immediately made the two move forward. They knew that Dalton wouldn't accept a failure. They knew that there was an important guest back at the mansion. So, for Dalton to come here personally for Jack, that meant that this was important.
Furthermore, they had already heard the conversation between the two of them. They knew that Jack was supposed to be engaged. Since that was the case, they had to make sure that they grabbed him even if they had to be a little forceful.
They attacked without hesitation. This time, they were attacking with the intention of immobilizing him. But, they made sure to avoid the vital areas as they threw their punches.
Jack's reaction wasn't slow at all. The moment that one of the punches reached closer to his face, he used his right hand to push the fist to the side, before throwing a kick towards the one that threw the punch.
Thwack!
The moment that the kick connect, the guy flew backwards just like the guy before. He landed almost a dozen feet away from Jack's position.
Immediately after kicking away one of them, Jack bent backwards evading the other punch. The moment that he evaded the punch, he leaned back forward and threw a fist towards the other party's chest.
This one didn't idle as well. He raised his left arm to block the fist. But, just before they connected, Jack changed the angle of his fist as it brushed past the raised arm and landed on his chest.
Just like the others, this guy was also thrown back. But, Jack had made sure that he didn't use too much strength to make sure that they didn't get too hurt.
But, it seemed that he had made a miscalculation. The moment that these guys realized that their injuries were shallow, they thought that Jack's fort was agility and not strength. And that was the reason as to why his punches were not that strong.
They were just about to rush up for the second round when the more than a dozen guards arrived. The guards weren't weak as well. Furthermore, they had divided themselves, four for each person.
The guards weren't polite at all. These guys had just attacked their client in their presence. This was akin to provocation. How could they take it lightly
So, at that moment, punches, kicks, stomps and head-butts rained on the three poor guys. They hadn't thought that the guards would make a move on them. Furthermore, there were twelve of them. So, although they were stronger than them, they weren't a match for four of them at the same time.
Dalton too, hadn't expected that Jack would be so fierce. Furthermore, he hadn't counted on the fact that the guards would also attack the moment that the three men that he brought with him made a move.
He looked at them and shouted, "How dare you make a move on my men? Do you know who I am? Don't you want your lives again?"
The moment that he shouted these words, the person that was on charge amongst the guards stopped beating the person beneath him as he looked at Dalton. Then, he said coldly, "Sir, you made the first move here. And, you were not welcomed here, you trespassed. Furthermore, you're trying to use force to attack our client. It's our duty to protect him."
The moment that he said this, Dalton was infuriated further. At this moment, Steve, who was stunned finally spoke. "What do you know? This is a family matter. He's my younger brother, so, don't get involved here!"
"Hey, I'm not your brother. And, if I remember correctly, according to our bet, you're not supposed to step your foot here in Inchoate. But surprisingly, here you are, in my own compound." Jack sneered. Then, he continued without waiting for Steve to speak, "Furthermore, even if this is a family matter, I don't think that these three are Alfonso's, right?"
Jack's words made Steve turn pale. The moment that Dalton took him along, he had completely forgotten about the bet as at that time, all that was in his mind was about the engagement.
Now that Jack had reminded him, he immediately knew that he was surely going to receive the attack from Off-track Racers. After all, they were the ones that were in charge of making sure that all the bets that were made under their supervision were followed to the latter.
Before he could say another word, Dalton interrupted. "What do you mean that they cannot be involved? They are part of our Alfonso family as they work for our family." His voice was stun as he looked at Jack.
Jack simply gave him a look and looked at the dozen guards as he said, "They work for me, so, they're part of my family. On the other hand, you're not part of my family. So, you shouldn't be here at this moment."
Jack wasn't polite at all. There was no need for him to be polite with someone like Dalton. Dalton didn't understand politeness, all that he knew was benefits.
Dalton was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Jack, if you don't want things to go to the extend that you can't handle, you better come back with me at this moment." Upon noticing that force wasn't working, he decided to try blackmail and coercion.
"I don't think that you should be concerned about me. So, you can just roll out of my place now. If anything happens, I'll take care of it on my own."
Jack's words made Dalton frown. Then, the moment that they registered in his mind, he looked at Jack wide eyed as he asked, "This is your place?"
