Chapter 462: 462 A Leech

At Matthews Industries,

Secretary Harrison had ugly frowns when he received the news. He unwillingly reported to Casper who was busy with the final preparation of the shareholders' meeting.

"Steve Hanks and his men entered Anya Owen's villa right after Second Young Master left."

Casper could feel detest in every word Harrison uttered and he ignored it. Casper planned to keep Anya and Alvin busy so that when Dr. Anthony Hugh departs to Narnia, they don't pull any stunts to stop Anthony.

He never asked Steve Hanks to attack Anya Owen. He simply revealed Anya and Alvin were living in a villa at Nest Regency with a substandard security system.

Steve Hanks was a fool. He waited in the regency for days and attacked right after Alvin made his way out of the villa. A big stupidity of Steve Hanks without realizing Anya's strength and power.

Harrison was happy thinking Casper hadn't lost his mind to give the position to Steve Hanks. He couldn't believe Casper provoked Steve Hanks to go against Anya and released the news of Anthony.

Wouldn't Steve Hanks despise both Anya and Casper and try to hurt Zane?

He warned Casper, "Zane Owen is in the villa."

Casper grasped Harrison's intention to remind him of Zane. A panic glinted in his eyes but he calmed down in a matter of seconds. Anya will protect Zane with her life, and body. So he was damn certain Zane wouldn't get even a scratch.

Harrison clenched his teeth when Casper continued to work without bothering about Zane's safety. Anya would create hell for Casper if Steve Hanks opens his mouth. And he looked forward to it because Casper didn't deserve a family.

—––––––

At Nest regency,

The regency might not be the most secure but it wasn't easy to find her villa. So the person who already knew about her location could only arrive effortlessly.

She wouldn't believe these men's arrival and Alvin's departure to be a coincidence. So her hunch was Casper Matthews. The leech that couldn't live and wouldn't let them live their lives.

Nevertheless, Anya wasn't scared to face the thugs or rogues. She was afraid of her son getting affected. It might be physical, mental, or psychological, the violence has a greater influence on kids.

Zane might trust her but he was still a kid. Hence the fear on his face was a trigger for her. Hence, clenching her teeth, she forced a calm expression.

Gently rubbing Zane's head, she spoke after getting his attention, "Baby, why don't you go inside and change into a new set of clothes while I will greet the uninvited guests." Despite sounding soft and looking calm, there was no warmth in her tone.

Zane's clutch on her jacket hem hardened. He wasn't stupid to assume those men were just uninvited guests. He had watched quite a few movies to understand what was happening. The bad people were there to hurt him and his mother.

Fear mounted with every step when he walked beside Anya towards the door. He peeped at the men. Some were gritting their teeth, some had ugly expressions. He squeaked when he noticed a man dashing towards them with an intent to hit them with the baseball bat, "Mommmaaa…"

As per his judgment, Steve Hanks guessed Anya could easily take on a man's attack. However, she was a woman, how could she survive a few strong men at a time?

So he growled at the men right after Zane's shriek, "What are you all waiting for? Catch that rat." He could put demands on Casper and Anya if he captured Zane.

Anya gave a gentle push to Zane as she urged him, "Baby run." She spun and caught the bat aimed at her head. Giving no time to think, she quickly twisted the man's hand and snatched the bat away.

All the while, knowing Zane was right behind her, unable to move in shock. She urged him yet again looking at three more men dashing towards them.

"Baby, get my baton." She held her urge to break the bat on the man's head in front of Zane. She didn't want her son to fear her. "Quick."

Zane gasped when he grasped her words. He ran inside, unawarely screaming his response due to fear gripping his throat, "Yes, Momma…" He missed seeing Anya ramming the bat.

"Ahhh…." A scream followed right after Zane disappeared from her sight.

The three men stumbled looking at the cracked baseball bat with just a strike and the blood sweeping out of the man's ear.

Steve Hanks: "..."

Anya closed the door that was auto-locked. It would keep Zane safe inside and give her ample time to handle the flies.

Baton? She didn't need one. But she had limited time to handle these men.

She slammed the cracked baseball bat on the ground to deepen the crack. Then she peeled it into two parts under the nervous and desperate gazes.

Knife? She could create sharper objects on her own.

Her steely gray eyes glowered at Steve Hanks when she stabbed the rough edge of a broken bat to the first man who attacked her.

Holding their breath, the three men looked at each other. They only heard that they will have to take down a woman. Who was this lady? She looked dangerous, her gaze was sending shivers down their spines.

Steve Hanks gritted his teeth. He roared at the men to strike her together, "Attack at the same time."

Nodding at each other, the men screamed as they launched toward her. They were confident that they could take down the woman.

Soon, the cold air filled with the groans of a man, the gasps of other men, and the murderous air of Anya.

The vile smile and smugness on Steve Hanks' face had long disappeared. His eyes widened as fear clutched his throat. He had considered her as strong and ruthless. But his imagination failed to measure what he just noticed.

He watched her stab the stomach, arms, and legs of his men without letting them even touch a hair on her body. Four tall, strong-looking men started begging a lissom woman in no time.

The pristine snow was coated with red dots of blood but the woman didn't seem to have any intention to stop.

"Momma, catch…" Zane's voice abruptly paused.

Suddenly everything came to stand still. The four men and Steve Hanks were frozen looking at Anya flip her expression as if clicking on a switch.

Anya hadn't expected Zane to reach the balcony instead of the main door. Turning around, she caught the baton and studied Zane's face.

Zane watched the men on the ground, crying in pain, and looked at his mother. He was amused Anya beat up the four men with bare hands.

"Momma…" He squeaked again but there was no fear. He pointed at Steve Hanks who was sneakily trying to flee.

Anya's heart eased before kicking the broken bat on the ground. It accurately hit the head and Zane exclaimed, "Woah!" He didn't know his mother was so good at football.

Anya: "..."

The gates suddenly opened slamming Steve Hanks to the ground. Alvin paused looking at the scene. The lawn that was filled with hearty laughter and snow was replaced with groans, unsightly men, and blood stains.

His eyes rested on Anya. He had told her the regency wasn't safe enough. These kinds of incidents would have never happened if they were in the Oasis mansion.

Anya held her breath meeting Alvin's icy gaze. She unawarely recalled an incident. Alvin scolded her and blamed her when there was an attack on Zane in front of the school. Now there was an episode at her villa.

Will he hold her responsible?
