Villain’s Favorite 37

Chapter 37 Does It Hurt? 

Thomas clearly wasn’t going to let this chance slip by.

When school ended, Maya stepped out through the gates. She lifted her hand and lightly touched the bandage on her forehead. 

It wasn’t anything major-just a small scrape that bled a bit. 

The school doctor had wrapped it in gauze to prevent infection. 

Still, she hadn’t expected her mother to react so strongly. 

As soon as Wendy noticed the bandage on Maya’s forehead, the sudden cold feeling around her made Maya instinctively want to turn and run. 

It was like how a tiny animal reacted when it sensed danger. 

Toby stiffened as well. “Mom.” 

“Oh, Maya.” Wendy seemed to notice that her reaction was too extreme. She quickly forced a smile. “How did you hurt your forehead? 

“Does it hurt? Come here. Let me hold you.” 

Maya slowly stepped forward and was instantly pulled into a tight hug. The pressure made it hard for her to breathe. 

She quickly explained in a soft voice, “I had a small fight with a classmate, but everything is already taken care of! 

“Don’t worry. Alfred and I already got our revenge.” 

Even hearing that they got revenge didn’t fully calm Wendy. “Really? What did you do?” 

Did you kill him or cut him apart? 

“He’ll probably be left with scars.” Maya hissed softly. “He got hurt way worse than me.” 

Hot water had been poured onto Bert’s face. If infection set in, he might even die. 

Only after hearing that did Wendy feel a little better. 

But just a little. 

After putting Maya down and telling her to go find Raymond, Wendy grabbed Alfred back and smiled. “Alfred, do you want me to handle some small trouble at school for you?” 

Even though Wendy hadn’t worked as an assassin for years, she still didn’t value human life much. 

Wiping out a child’s whole family would be easy for her.

“No, Mom.” Alfred refused right away. “We can solve school problems ourselves. Besides, this is between Maya and me. If you kill their whole family, we’ll become suspects.” 

For once, Alfred didn’t suggest murder as the answer because he wanted peaceful days at school. 

Wendy narrowed her eyes at him. “Looks like you’re enjoying school quite a bit.” 

His smug energy was almost impossible to hide. 

Alfred didn’t deny it. 

At Harmony International School, he was his sister’s only ally. 

That feeling of being her only support satisfied his strong desire to control things. 

Maya’s injury still caused a bit of chaos at home. 

Sitting on the couch, Raymond looked at the bandage on her forehead and clicked his tongue. 

He thought his wife was overreacting. 

Back when he tried to leave the Clarks, he nearly died, and she hadn’t acted this nervous then. 

Raymond believed children only got bullied if they were weak, while Wendy believed the world was targeting her kind-hearted daughter. 

“I just hope my kids don’t grow up too soft-hearted.” Wendy held her chest, clearly uneasy. 

Raymond smirked playfully. In a smug tone, he said, “Honey, our sons have never shown even a tiny bit of kindness since birth, so you don’t need to worry.” 

Embarrassed and mad, Wendy slapped him straight off the couch. 

She had always been the strongest fighter in the family. Even Raymond couldn’t last more than ten moves against her. 

He specialized in gun-based assassinations and preferred staying hidden. 

But Wendy used to be known as a walking catastrophe. 

Back then, she could calmly kill an enemy leader in the middle of flying bullets and walk away with only a slightly dirty hem and some dust. 

After getting knocked to the floor beside the couch, Raymond couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. 

“Honey, even if Maya getting hurt upset you, don’t take it out on me.” 

That sentence pushed Wendy over the edge. 

She became even angrier. 

Without warning, she twisted and delivered a powerful side kick toward his waist.

Raymond had plenty of experience being beaten. 

Calm and steady, he ducked low. When the second strike came, he grabbed Maya, who had been watching the show, and shamelessly lifted her as a shield. 

The fierce kick stopped less than four inches from her abruptly. 

The wind from the speed alone made Maya freeze. 

She was sure that if the kick had landed, her organs would have been destroyed instantly. 

Still shaken from almost getting hit, Maya grabbed Raymond’s messy, seaweed-like hair and pulled hard. 

“Dad, you did that on purpose!” 

His scalp hurt, but Raymond kept smiling proudly. “Relax, Maya. Your mom is incredible-she can stop her kick in time.” 

Wendy’s reaction speed was nearly machine-perfect. 

Back then, every major organization wanted to recruit her.
