Kurt thought that Stefan, who looked skinny and frail, would surely not win against those burly thugs, but he did not expect…
In just a few minutes, all the thugs were on the ground.
Seeing them sprawled on the ground and unable to get up, Kurt was bewildered.
He remembered the last man that fought so bravely was the late Luke Jones.
He was tall and thin like a stick, but when he fought, he could easily beat up men much bulkier than him.
After Luke passed away, Kurt never met anyone like him anymore.
Could it be…
At that thought, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Stefan, who was looking at him too.
Their eyes met.
Kurt looked stunned while Stefan’s eyes twinkled with amusement.
“You…”
The way Stefan’s eyes twinkled and how he had a habit of wiping his nose after fighting made Kurt’s eyes widen.
“You…”
“It’s me.”
Stefan smiled and took off his mask, showing off his angular handsome face.
Kurt’s jaw slackened.He was struck dumb and could not even make a single sound.
How could it be? The entire gang sent him off to his funeral rites.
They saw Luke’s body cremated before their very eyes.
The face was Luke’s, and the body was his, too.
The men had verified a few times the soulless body before allowing Brettley Morrison take the body away for cremation.
How could this be? How could a person who was burned to ashes come back from the dead and even fought so courageously? “It’s a long story.”
As if he could read what was on Kurt’s mind, Stefan smiled and x1 touched his nose.
“I go by Stefan Joneson now.”
Kurt was even more baffled at that moment.His boss was not dead, but he even gave himself a new name! He went from Luke Jones to Stefan Joneson? “Let’s go.I’ll take you to the doctor.”
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, walked over, and helped Kurt stand up.
“What happened to your arm?”
Kurt paused for a while before saying honestly, “I broke it in an accident on delivery a few days ago.”
As Stefan helped him up, he sighed and added, “Max Church sent those men to check on me to see if I’ve been in contact with Gwen, but when they saw my broken arm, they started extorting me for money and bullying me.”
Kurt smiled bitterly at Stefan.
“Have I embarrassed you?”
Things were different when he was with Luke as it was him doing the beating; never was there a moment when Kurt was beaten.
However, at that moment…Kurt felt terrible letting his former boss see him beaten up so badly.
“It’s not embarrassing at all.”
Stefan was silent for a long time before sighing deeply.
“It’s my fault.All I was concerned about back then was Gwen, and I never considered what your lives would be like after I died.You did nothing wrong.”
Kurt shook his head fervently.
“Boss, I respect you, not only because you can fight well and you’re the core of the gang but also because of your devotion to Gwen.
A man who could give up his life for the woman he loves must be a man with passion.
“People like us who’ve been out and about fighting only care about profit–it’s what makes our world go round.The only thing that could make your brothers fight for you is passion, so how could passion be a bad thing?”
Stefan sighed.
“Stop it, you.”
Kurt was the same man he knew.He always praised him regardless of whether or not he did the right thing.
Kurt never skimped on his praises.
Soon, they arrived at the clinic.
Stefan got some antiseptic medication and a dressing from the doctors.He cleaned and dressed Kurt’s injuries while recounting the things that happened to him after he died in detail.
“Two brothers sharing the same body?”
Kurt looked at Stefan with widened eyes, unable to process the things Stefan had just told him.
“Yes.”
Stefan smiled.
“Perhaps when you wake up tomorrow, it might be my brother in front of you.”
Kurt paused for a while before saying, “Then, are there any signs when you and your brother are switching gears? Oris there any regular timing that this happens?”
Stefan remained silent for a while before shaking his head.
“I’m not sure.”
From the past few days, it seemed like Steven Hughes had appeared lesser, while he found himself being in control longer.
Previously, at the art show, after he called Brettley and fell asleep, he should have become Steven.He never thought that he would still be the pilot of this body.He had fallen asleep when he accompanied Gwen back to Sea City on the flight, but when he woke up, he was still around.
Thinking about it, he realized that he had been around for almost two days, which never happened before.
He could clearly sense that Steven’s character was resisting to appear, trying to destroy himself, but he could not do anything for his brother.
This made Luke feel lost and in despair.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was from Gwen.
Stefan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he picked the call up.
“D–Did something happen to you?”
Gwen sounded cautious.
“You’ve been out for almost two hours.”
“I’m fine.I helped out an injured person on the way back.”
Stefan smiled.
“Don’t worry; not many people can hurt me in a place like Sea City.”
At that, Gwen was instantly silent.
After a while, she said gently, “Okay.Come back quickly.”
She did not wait for Stefan’s response as she hung up.
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, a little surprised that she hung up on him so quickly.
Gwen was usually very polite to strangers and people she was not close to.
