Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1481

Punikon’s grandfather gave his approval.

“He wants revenge? Let him have it. It’s a good opportunity to teach him that in the world of fighters, the strong rule!”

“And let it be a message to everyone else. No matter who you are, if you harm someone from the Punikon family, you will pay a heavy price!”

“Find a chance and take that kid Evan out! Once the hatred is deep enough, we won’t have to worry about Tarquin backing out of the challenge!”

The fighter on the phone replied, “Understood!”

After hanging up, he turned to his partner.

“The old man gave the order. We can’t touch Tarquin for now, but we can get rid of that Evan kid!”

His partner gritted his teeth. “Let’s grab him and hand him over to Punikon. Let him have his fun!”

“Yeah! We’ll go to the hospital and have Punikon lure him out. We'll make sure it’s a one-way trip.”

“...”

Past eleven at night, The Blissful Pub was still buzzing.

But since Elysia had to head back to Oceanopolis the next day, it wasn’t a good idea to stay out all night, so she and Tarquin left early.

Winona and Blossom stayed behind. They were on Keaton’s turf anyway, so there was no need to worry about them. Keaton would look after them.

On the way, Lowell was driving while Tarquin and Elysia sat in the back.

“I’m not going to Oceanopolis with you for the break,” Tarquin said. “I’ll arrange a private jet for you all tomorrow. Have a great time.”

Elysia was surprised. “Is it for work?”

“Yeah, some things came up that I need to handle. It's time-sensitive, and I need to head down to Border City for a few days.”

Afraid she wouldn’t believe him, Tarquin added, “We’ve got a lot of new projects lately that I need to oversee personally.”

Elysia's heart ached for him. “You work so hard for us,” Elysia murmured, her heart aching for him. “Always carrying the weight of the world.”
