Free Web NovelChapter 405: Chapter 405: Don’t Even Think About Snatching My Sister
Adrian Hawthorne got up to follow Will. It was best to be cooperative on someone else’s turf. Besides, his feet were going numb from squatting outside, and inside he could sit comfortably and still see Little Fatty Tang.
Jim Thorne naturally followed as well, making a point to walk ahead of Adrian Hawthorne. He was older and a better fighter; it was his place to be in the lead.
The Mad Lord had already come out of the projection room. Tang Xiaopang was sleeping on the sofa, her posture quite ungraceful. As soon as Adrian Hawthorne and the others entered the room, they saw Tang Xiaopang sprawled out, her head tilted slightly, with drool trickling from the corner of her mouth.
’Looks like this little fatty is doing just fine. I was worried for nothing.’ Adrian Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Jim Thorne into a seat at a less prominent spot.
"What were you two doing, skulking around outside?" the Mad Lord demanded.
"I came to see Xiaopang," Jim Thorne said brazenly. Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, he showed no fear in the face of the Mad Lord. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Adrian Hawthorne added, "Xiaopang can be a bit mischievous. We were worried she might have offended you, sir, so we came to check on her."
The Mad Lord smiled faintly, glanced at Tang Xiaopang on the sofa, and said, "This little girl is amusing. She hasn’t offended me."
Adrian Hawthorne also smiled. ’When Little Fatty Tang wasn’t causing trouble, she really was quite amusing.’
"A moment ago, I was speaking with the little fatty. I told her she’s going to be my daughter and won’t be going back with you. She agreed. I’m just letting you know," the Mad Lord said suddenly. The look of surprise on Will’s face, standing nearby, did not escape Adrian Hawthorne’s eyes.
Jim Thorne’s expression changed drastically, and he practically jumped three feet in the air. "Xiaopang would never agree to that! You’re full of shit! You just want to snatch my sister because she’s cute! In your dreams! Xiaopang isn’t going to be anyone’s daughter. She has to come back with me! If you want a daughter so bad, have one yourself! What kind of man steals someone else’s sister?"
’This is bad.’ Adrian Hawthorne grabbed the frantic Jim Thorne. If they really angered the Mad Lord, none of them would be leaving Capria.
"Please don’t hold it against him, sir. He and Xiaopang are very close, so he can’t control his emotions. He didn’t mean to offend you." fгeewebnovёl.com
Adrian Hawthorne continued to speak placatingly, but he was secretly preparing for a fight. ’If the Mad Lord really plans on keeping Little Fatty Tang, we’ll have to use force. There are only two of them in this courtyard right now. If I attack by surprise, I should be able to hold them off for a while—long enough for Jim to get away with Little Fatty Tang. To hell with the merchandise.’
The Mad Lord’s eyes were knowing; he could see right through Adrian Hawthorne’s intentions. ’This kid is still a bit too green, a little too inexperienced. But to have this kind of mindset at his age is already remarkable. I was far worse when I was young.’
"He wants to snatch Xiaopang, and you’re still bullshitting with him? Grab something! Let’s fuck them up!"
Without another word, Jim Thorne grabbed a stool, ready to fight the Mad Lord to the death. ’Even if I die here,’ he thought, ’I can’t let them take Xiaopang.’
"Let me adopt your sister, and I’ll give you lots and lots of money. Not interested?" the Mad Lord asked, deliberately baiting him.
"Hell no! So what if you have money? My Xiaopang isn’t for sale, not even for a mountain of gold! I’m not afraid of you!"
Jim Thorne clutched the stool, his face red and the veins on his neck bulging with anger, his eyes wide like a bull’s. Though still young, he had a formidable presence. The Mad Lord was secretly impressed. ’These two kids—one brave, one cunning—make a perfect pair. With the right nurturing, they could both achieve great things.’
Tang Xiaopang had been sleeping soundly, dreaming that she was at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant. She was enjoying the high-quality service, feeling blissful in body and soul, but she was woken by the noise after only a few bites. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jim Thorne holding a stool, about to fight the Mad Lord. All her sleepiness vanished in an instant.
"Third Brother, stop!"
Tang Xiaopang shouted. Jim Thorne stopped in his tracks, rushed to her side, and started pulling her toward the door. "Don’t be scared, Xiaopang! As long as Third Brother is here, no one will take you away!"
