Ralph was losing the fight and could only wrap his arms around his head on the ground and try his best to protect his vital parts.
Even so, they continued beating him, and he felt like his bones were about to break.
Ultimately, Sean got tired and stopped. Catching his breath, he stared at the unmoving man on the ground and spat. “I only backed down last tbecause you had your family’s support, but you're nothing now! Ptui! Stay out of my sight from now on, or | will beat your a*s each twe meet!” He spat again and burst out laughing with the others before leaving.

‘Now that | can’t go back to the Russell Estate, where else could | go?’ As he cried, he thought about what “Heather” had told him earlier today. He suddenly stopped crying and sat up to search himself frantically. Finally, he found the key in his trouser pocket.
The small and exquisite key looked shiny and seemed hardly used. Ralph wondered why “Heather” had given him something so new.
‘Is that place truly a residence or a trap?’ He stared thoughtfully at the key for a long tand decided to visit the place. He had nowhere to go anyway, and things could not get worse than it was. Besides, even if Heather wanted to set him up, he was not worth the effort now that he had nothing she wanted.
He sniffled and tried in vain to start his car. Although sgas remained, he failed to ignite the engine after a few attempts and got so upset that he slammed the wheel.
‘No wonder people say bad things cin threes!” He left his car by the curb, hailed a cab, and told the driver to head to Lucens Apartments. Then Ralph leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.
