**Chapter 370: They Slander Him**

“Take it easy. I’ve already got our guys on it. There’s no way we can’t handle just one girl!”

The older brother, a seasoned troublemaker himself, understood precisely what his younger sibling was implying.

He had gathered a few local thugs, men who had been causing chaos and intimidation since their childhoods, and who were still at it well into their middle age.

For them, fighting was not just a pastime; it was a way of life, a daily ritual that fed their egos.

These men were so overconfident, they likely believed they could take on a wild beast without a second thought.

However, before these fools could even lay a finger on Amelia, the one leading the charge was sent sprawling several feet away, courtesy of a single, powerful kick delivered by Jeremy.

“Looks like you’ve got a death wish. You really think you can touch her?”

The thug who had been kicked was now sprawled on the ground, wailing in agony, his pride shattered along with his body.

From a corner of the motel, the owner peeked out, his eyes wide with astonishment. He was on the verge of giving Jeremy a huge thumbs-up, completely taken aback by the display of strength.

This guy is incredible!

With just one kick, he had sent that notorious troublemaker flying!

If he weren’t younger than her usual type and entirely out of her league, the motel owner mused, she would have considered marrying him right then and there.

The two older brothers stood frozen, their mouths agape, unable to comprehend the force behind Jeremy’s kick. It was as if he had sent the man hurtling toward the afterlife itself.

Their gang of thugs was now paralyzed with fear, no longer daring to advance.

Yet, the older brother, unwilling to let his pride be tarnished, shouted out, his face flushed with anger, “Don’t be scared! Get in there and beat him to a pulp!”

He was convinced that a whole group of them could easily overpower a pretty boy like Jeremy.

But life, with its penchant for irony, had other plans.

In the blink of an eye, the thugs charged at Jeremy and Amelia, their bravado returning in a desperate attempt to save face.

Amelia didn’t even have a moment to react. Jeremy was a whirlwind, kicking them away one by one, each strike precise and devastating.

These men were nothing more than small-time bullies. He didn’t even need to use his fists; his legs did all the talking.

His kicks landed squarely on each target, a testament to his skill.

Compared to the seasoned hitmen from the previous day, these thugs were mere children. There was no way they could hope to defeat either Jeremy or Amelia.

Jeremy alone was more than enough to send them packing.

And honestly, he didn’t feel like a hero at all.

Kicking them aside felt more like tossing out a bunch of trash bags than engaging in a heroic battle.

Amelia, watching the spectacle unfold, wasn’t going to be impressed. Those losers were hardly worth her time or attention.

The thugs lay scattered around them, faces swollen and groaning in pain, as if they had just faced a relentless storm.

“Damn, starting your hero routine this early in the morning?”

The voice belonged to Anderson, who had just arrived with Josie. He raised an eyebrow, curious if yesterday’s act of bravery hadn’t quenched Jeremy’s thirst for heroics.

Josie rushed over, concern etched on her face. “Amelia, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine. Do I look injured?” Amelia laughed, her spirit unbroken.

It was the thugs who were in serious trouble now.

The ruckus had attracted the attention of townspeople who had come out of their homes and guests from the motel, all eager to see what was happening.

Everyone recognized the two brothers and their gang of bullies. They had terrorized the town for years, leaving a trail of fear in their wake.

Many townsfolk secretly wished for someone to finally stand up to them, to deliver the justice they had longed for.

Watching Jeremy take them down today, no one dared to intervene. If anything, they wanted to cheer him on.

Even the mayor and his staff caught wind of the commotion and hurried over, curiosity piqued.

But as soon as the bullies spotted the mayor, they shifted into a different mode, feigning distress. They cried and sniffled, attempting to accuse Jeremy, the outsider, of inciting chaos.

They aimed to shift all the blame onto him, hoping to get him detained, painting him as the villain in this narrative.

They even leaned in to whisper to the townspeople, warning them not to speak up unless they wanted trouble later.

So, the townsfolk stood there, simmering with anger but remaining silent, unwilling to risk their own safety.

Unfortunately for the bullies, their cheap tactics were utterly ineffective against Jeremy.

Back in Novaterra, he had faced far worse, and no one would dare provoke him. Why should he be concerned about a bunch of nobodies from a small town?

The mayor, upon seeing Anderson, recognized him immediately. He knew Anderson was interested in investing in a resort in the area.

The entire town had been buzzing with excitement, believing this project could finally bring them the prosperity they had been yearning for.

However, a few stubborn households had been holding out, demanding exorbitant payouts and refusing to sign any agreements.

Because of their obstinacy, the project had come to a standstill.

This time, Anderson had come in person to negotiate with those families, determined to resolve the issues that had plagued the town for far too long.

In the aftermath of the chaotic confrontation, the emotional landscape shifted dramatically for both Jeremy and Amelia. Jeremy, who had initially felt a surge of adrenaline and bravado while defending Amelia, found himself grappling with a sense of disillusionment. Despite his physical prowess and the admiration of the townsfolk, he realized that his actions, while heroic in nature, did not fulfill the deeper yearning for recognition and belonging he had always sought. As the dust settled and the thugs lay defeated, he was left contemplating the true weight of heroism—not just in the act of courage, but in the connections forged and the battles fought within oneself. Amelia, on the other hand, stood resilient and unscathed, her laughter echoing in the air, a testament to her indomitable spirit. She had witnessed Jeremy’s strength and bravery, yet she remained unfazed by the chaos, embodying a sense of autonomy that inspired both admiration and a hint of longing in Jeremy.

As the townspeople began to disperse, their eyes still glistening with the thrill of witnessing a long-overdue confrontation, a new chapter unfolded for both Jeremy and Amelia. The mayor’s presence signaled a potential shift in their lives; the promise of development in the town hinted at fresh opportunities and new beginnings. For Jeremy, the hope of being part of something greater than himself stirred within him, a chance to redefine his identity beyond mere physical strength. Meanwhile, Amelia’s laughter, a beacon of resilience, hinted at her desire to break free from the shadows of her past. Together, they stood at the precipice of change, bound by the shared experience of overcoming adversity. In this moment, they both understood that while destiny may break them, it also had the power to unite them, forging a bond that could withstand the trials ahead.

In the next chapter of **Broken by Destiny**, readers can expect the tension to escalate dramatically as Jeremy finds himself at the center of a brewing storm. With the notorious thugs now nursing their wounds and their pride shattered, the town’s dynamics are set to shift. As the mayor and his staff arrive on the scene, the stakes will rise, and Jeremy’s actions will be scrutinized. Will the townspeople rally behind him, or will the bullies’ manipulative tactics succeed in painting him as the villain? The atmosphere is charged with anticipation, and alliances may be tested as the community grapples with their long-standing fears and the potential for change.

Moreover, as Anderson attempts to negotiate the future of the town, the unresolved tensions surrounding the resort project will come to a head. The stubborn families holding out against the deal are bound to clash with Anderson’s ambitions, and their resistance could lead to unforeseen consequences. Will Jeremy’s newfound reputation as a protector help sway public opinion, or will it create further divisions? As secrets unravel and loyalties are questioned, readers can brace themselves for a whirlwind of confrontations, revelations, and the possibility of redemption. The next chapter promises to delve deeper into the characters’ motivations and the choices they must make, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eager to find out what fate has in store for Jeremy, Amelia, and the town itself.
