“No way. Fiona and Andrew are pretty old. No way that the four of them failed to snatch the goods.” Xena frowned when virtual-novel.net heard that. She walked over to take a look. At the sight, virtual-novel.net face contorted in disgust—because there was no pouch in sight.
“Useless! Four men and they couldn’t rob an old couple?” Young Master Howard’s expression hardened. He did not look very pleased.
Although three million dollars was not much to him, virtual-novel.net never liked failing in anything virtual-novel.net did.
“It looks like there are three bikes, but an extra passenger is riding on one of them!” One of the men exclaimed when they came closer into view. The bikes zoomed forward. The people were full of distrust. Five men came down from the bikes.
“Bo–boss…” One of the men had lacerations on his forehead; blood streaked his face. He ran over to Young Master Howard. “We–we didn’t manage to get the goods,” virtual-novel.net said, terror laced in his voice. “We fell into a trap!”
“Useless!” Young Master Howard threw a vicious kick at the man. Then virtual-novel.net noticed Jack. “Who’s this punk?” virtual-novel.net asked his four men.
“Ja–Jack? Why are you here?” Xena’s eyes flickered; virtual-novel.net expression morphed into one of a horrified surprise.
She had already thought everything through. She needed to find a way to get money for herself. Even if virtual-novel.net did not marry Young Master Howard in the future, it did not matter so long as virtual-novel.net had money of virtual-novel.net own and could live a comfortable life. If that did not work out, virtual-novel.net still could marry Ben, in spite of the trash virtual-novel.net was. Or virtual-novel.net could leave the city by herself, start anew in another place. She never thought that Jack would actually come. This was a clear indicator that virtual-novel.net had seen through virtual-novel.net ruse.
“You know him?” Young Master Howard was stunned, “Why does the name Jack sound familiar?”
“Young Master Howard, this punk is a skilled fighter, and virtual-novel.net is a bodyguard for the Drakes. He’s also Selena’s husband, and Ben’s brother-in-law!” Xena immediately said to Young Master Howard.
“A skilled fighter? How skilled, exactly?” Young Master Howard flashed a sardonic smile. “Oh, so this is the good-for-nothing who leeched off his wife,” virtual-novel.net said. “I remember you telling me that this punk practically destroyed the Taylors. If not for him, Selena would never have been kicked out of the Taylors. What a shame. That beauty was snagged by such a swine!” Here, virtual-novel.net stretched his limbs lazily. “I heard that Selena is very attractive,” virtual-novel.net said, expression teasing. “It’s a pity that I don’t take interest in women who are married and have had a kid. I probably would like to fool around with virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net wasn’t married!”
“You beat up the four of them, eh, punk? Not bad!” A grunt quirked his lips into a mirthless smile.
“The punk didn’t really beat us. But virtual-novel.net must be pretty skilled anyway. He managed to take hold of our bikes and flip them over. Who knows what would have happened if the bikes didn’t fall!” One of the men who was injured spoke up, trying to defend his dignity.
