Stanley Batton turned a deaf ear to him. “Y’all useless trash, why are y’all still standing there? Why don’t y’all hurry up and shoot that man to death?” Fred Thomson shouted at the people around him impolitely. The superintendent approached him quickly. He looked at Stanley and ordered him arrogantly, “Let go of him now, do you hear that? Or else, I will really order my men to shoot you.”“For people like you, it’s better not to show too much of your ability or else you will suffer yourself.” The superintendent spoke again.Bang...Right at that time, the door was kicked open by someone.“I’m really interested to see just who is brave enough to shoot my friend.” A lazy voice sounded.Then, Sebastian Brenand’s face with a sinister smile appeared in front of the bunch of people.As soon as Fred Thomson saw Sebastian, he was suddenly stunned, “Young… Young Master Brenand? Why are you here?” “Clearly, I’m here to teach you a lesson, moron.” Sebastian snorted coldly.Sebastia
Stanley Batton was a little surprised at the arrival of the few of them. Henry Armstrong quickly approached Stanley. “Well…We’ll talk about it in the car later.”Fred Thomson was totally panicked as he looked at the way Stanley talked to Henry as well as Sebastian Brenand.The Thomson family was powerful indeed. However, they were nothing compared to the Armstong and Brenand families. The guy standing in front of him at that moment had the gut to speak out to Henry and Sebastian. Undoubtedly, his status must be much higher than the two of them!The inspector had come to the realisation too. He was shaking all over as he looked at Stanley timidly. “Master, you are a great man, please forgive me and forget about my terrible mistake, I shouldn’t have done that to you, I..I was wrong.”“I...I was wrong too. Err, we wouldn’t have known each other if we didn’t meet this morning, right? Let’s reconcile and be friends.” Fred looked at Stanley, trying to ingratiate himself with Stanley.
“Master Sebastian…Master Henry…Master…please forgive me, I swear I will never do it again, I swear…” Fred Thomson looked at their backs desperately, begging for mercy in tears. However, none of them turned back. Bam…The door closed at the instant.The entire world had returned to peace. Fred fell to the ground weakly, he was staring at the ceiling in despair with his body fixed on the ground. He knew that he was finished. The masters of Brenand and Armstrong families were targeting him now. He was afraid that neither his father nor his uncle was able to save him from them. There was no way.Worst of all, his whole family could be implicated because of his grave mistake this time.Strong remorse rushed through his blood, he could not help but felt extremely dreadful.On the other hand, the inspector took a step back helplessly and swiftly pulled open the door. He glared at the police officers outside and ordered, “Send him to the detention room and we’ll wait for the ver
On the other end of the phone, Xyla Quest was still on the edge of her seat. She clutched the phone tightly in her hand and she could not take her eyes off the phone screen. She could not slack off, not in the slightest, she must wait for his call. The people sent out to look for Stanley Batton had not come back and reported to her by now. Something must have gone wrong. Right that moment, her phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down.She went to find a phone charger at once.It was then that she realised she did not carry a charger with her all this while. Without hesitation, she called out to the people outside of her ward to help search for a phone charger. She would never let her phone die at this point. She could not bear missing any news about Stanley. Her heart was racing and she felt that it was pounding out of her chest. On the other side, Stanley Batton locked his phone and shoved it back into his pocket after noticing that Xyla’s phone was off.
Xyla Quest stroked her hair awkwardly. She gathered all her courage to meet Stanley Batton’s eyes and said, “Of course I’m worried about you. We’re still working together, you see. It will be very troublesome to me if anything were to happen to you.”“Oh? Is that what this is all about?” Stanley’s eyes were full of suspicion. “And…And we’re friends. I don’t want my friend to get into any trouble.”“And?” Stanley continued to ask calmly.“That’s all…” Xyla answered.“Oh.”“Look, you’ve helped me a lot. It’s unsurprising that I care about you,” she added.“Oh.” Stanley looked deeply into her eyes, the corner of his lips was still curving upwards.For some reason, Xyla always felt that his eyes were able to see through her, he seemed to know what she was thinking deep in her heart. She began to tense up inexplicably. She could not explain why she felt so nervous. And her heartbeat was accelerating, too. “You should lie down and rest well in your bed even if you’re worried
“Fred Thomson saw me on the road when I went out to get you some breakfast. He honked at me, trying to accost me.” Stanley Batton said. “I had the drug that you prepared for me last night in my pocket. Therefore, I got into his car and followed him to a hotel.”“Then, I added that drug into his glass. His body reacted to it as soon as he drank it, and he started to work it out on his own.” “I called the police when he was done, telling them that he…well…” that word was stuck at the edge of his lips. He paused for a while and continued to describe the incident to her in earnest. “After that the police came to gather some evidence. After they collected the sample of body fluids Fred left behind, the police took both of us to the police station.”“Later on, I explained the whole incident at the hotel to the police. I also submitted the video of you and Georgie being tortured by Fred in the dark room to them. Subsequently, he was taken into custody and everything went smoothly.” St
Sebastian Brenand shook his head. Then, Xyla Quest turned to look at Henry Armstrong. Henry shook his head as well. He drew a tiny kumquat from the plate of fruits beside him, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into his mouth. “Stop questioning it. You know that everything turns out well and that’s all that matters…Things are handled perfectly by Stan, there isn’t a single flaw.” He reassured Xyla while chewing the kumquat in his mouth.“Moreover, you don’t have to worry if the Thomson family starts pursuing the matter further and leaving you in danger, things like that. Stan has arranged it all and everything will come to an end here.” He added.“From what you’re saying, I think you do know more about the negotiation?” Henry’s words piqued Xyla’s curiosity. Henry shrugged and leaned against the chair lazily. He spat the kumquat seeds onto his palm and threw them into the trash can. “I really wasn’t there. I just heard it from Stan. As for the details, I’m afraid that we can’
Henry Armstrong pushed open the door and entered the ward. He approached Georgie Clementine leisurely and sat down beside her. He peeked at the game Georgie was playing and asked, “Is that Heroes Assemble?”Georgie’s gaze slowly shifted from the game to his face. “Why are you here again?” She remained still. “I’m here to see you, can’t I?” Henry teased cheerfully. “I’m much better now and I don’t need anyone to visit me. By the way, remember to accept my money on WeChat.” Georgie replied coldly and continued to play her game. “Legendary, what kind of stupid name is that?” Henry looked at her game ID with a disgusted face and sneered. Georgie’s game character was a Strategist, or in another word, a mage. She was currently doing her daily mission to defeat the monsters. When she arrived at the particular location, she would automatically start to fight the monsters. Her game character dressed in a snow white, off shoulder robe, just like a stunningly beautiful fairy. She l
