I've Been There Before

Chapter 202 Atonement

Kern laughed just like a ruffian, his flagrant provocation was not the first time.

“Brother? Mother only has one child. Where does the brother come from?” Caden sneered: “Kern, the man behind Sam is you, am I right?”

Otherwise, how would they run into each other so coincidentally. Kern and his people showed up right at the gate to block his way out.

“I know that old man kidnapped that notorious daughter of the James family. That doesn’t mean I am the man behind.”

“Well then, tell me, who did all this?”

“You wanna know?” Kern laughed out loud: “Sure, after you beat me.”

The two men began to fight each other, punching each other with their fists. Both of them were fierce and harsh. As for Caden, the presence of Kern was like a barb on the finger, it wasn’t lethal, but it made him very uncomfortable when touched.

As for Kern, Caden was the person he wanted to defeat the most, he wanted to trample Caden on the ground.

They were brothers with the same father but a different mother. However, their relationship was more like enemies than brothers. Kern was not reconciled to the treatment he had received since childhood. He shared the same blood of the Shaw family, but his situation was greatly different from that of his brother.

Both of them were fighting seriously, they did not reserve any strength. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Meanwhile, Grace was already heading toward Hangzhou on a taxi.

No matter highway or airplane, or long-distance car, she didn’t want to linger, and she dared not to expose her track.

Caden and Kern had been fighting each other for a long time, both of them were exhausted. They lay on the ground and exhaled heavily.

When Kirk arrived with his men, he saw the two exchanging blows. Kern’s men stayed aside and didn’t interfere with the fight. Kirk soon understood— this was a solo combat between the two bosses, neither of them wanted their men to interfere or to have a group fight.

Therefore, the two opposing groups of people faced each other across the field, but neither side took actions. Since both groups were bodyguards in neat suits, the atmosphere grew more and more intense.

Until both bosses lay on the ground and breathed tiredly, their people still didn’t show the intention to fight.

After a while, Kern’s phone rang. He took it out and pressed the button to receive the phone call. He put the phone next to his ear and listened for a minute, a content smile revealed on his face.

He then climbed up with his hand supporting the ground, he still couldn’t stand firm, but he looked down at Caden, who was still lying on the ground and exhaling, “I have had enough fun. I won’t accompany you any longer today, bye.” With that, he waved his hand at Caden.

Caden did not stop Kern, he sat straight from the ground and didn’t stand up immediately. With one leg kneeling on the ground, his eyebrows clenched together as he stared at Kern, who was stumbling away from him… He wouldn’t believe that Kern’s sudden appearance was to “have fun”. With his knowledge about Kern, this guy wouldn’t just want to pick a fight with him in order to provoke him.

Caden narrowed his eyes and watched Kern leave.

Although he had many doubts, but now, Caden was desperate to see Grace. There would be plenty of time to deal with Kern after today.

“Gloria, which hospital are you two in now?” He dialed Gloria’s phone number, stood up from the ground and headed to Kirk’s car. As he walked, he signaled Kirk: “The car key.”

Kern sat on the back seat of a car. His friend, who had been sitting in here, handed Kern a napkin, “Wipe your

“Heh, cut that crap.”

“You suddenly showed up at the warehouse just now, in order to buy time for her to escape?… The phone call you just received, if I am not mistaken, it was from you subordinate. He must be telling you that she has already left the S City. Am I right?”

“However, don’t you think you have been caring too much for a woman you met by chance? Kern, what’s the point of all these?”

Kern just smiled… Pointless or not, he knew it the best:

“God says, those who pray sincerely can atone for their sins.”

“Atonement? Did I hear it wrong? The invincible Kern Lo would feel guilty and try to atone for his sins? Come on Kern, you’re not bored enough to help the woman you met by chance, are you?”

Kern turned around,

“Four years ago, I could harm a woman that I met by chance for my own benefit. Why can’t I choose to help a woman I met by chance today?” For Grace, Kern always felt guilty, but it was nothing more than guilt.

His friend next to him laughed sarcastically… Kern said he harmed an innocent person for his own benefit. However, this “harm” was great enough to destroy a person’s life. Only helping this person escape from this suffocating city could atone for his sins?

“Kern, you are shameless!”

“Thanks for the compliment.”
