Chapter 479

“Ahh!” Adie’s voice sent William, who was already tense and nervous, screaming. ‘ Kiddo, y-you’re awake?” William stammered.

Adie rolled his eyes and started giving orders. “Idiot. I’ve been awake for a long time. Look ahead.

Pedal to the metal all the way. Turn the car as much to the left as possible, and force your way through.

Otherwise, we’re both doomed!”

Adie initially wanted to pretend to be asleep, but this man didn’t seem the least reliable. Although it was obvious the other party was driving their way, he still hesitated and didn’t go full speed ahead. Adie was terribly anxious.

“Huh? What?” William’s jaw dropped. He looked ahead and realized that he ought to follow Adie’s instructions.

Without thinking too much, William held onto the steering wheel tightly.” I’m going to make a rapid turn.

Sit tight!”

Vroom, vroom, vroom! The roar of the car’s engine echoed throughout the dock. The vehicle headed toward a gap on the left, and just when it seemed they would get through, another car showed up from the opposite direction and blocked their way to Carmine Pawnshop.

The worst part was that William’s tire was completely ruined this time. The car couldn’t be driven unless he replaced it with a new one!

‘What do we do now?” William fell into despair with his hands on the steering wheel. He didn’t mind dying, but the consequences would be unimaginable if this boy fell into the hands of the one-eyed man.

‘Kiddo, I’ll open the door later, and you’ll jump off after that. Run to Carmine Pawnshop and tell them your name. They’ll probably be able to protect you!”

Although Carmine Pawnshop’s name was mysterious to outsiders and was perceived as very powerful, their boss, Mr. Q, had a decent reputation.

Apart from always getting revenge on his enemies and being heavy- handed, he’d never done anything too perverse.

Therefore, it was better for Adie to fall into Mr. Q’s hands than the one- eyed man.

“Look after yourself first. He’s about to break your window.” Adie pointed out the window while calmly warning William.

William watched as the one-eyed man broke the window after hitting it with his watermelon knife several times. Immediately after that, the man reached in and unlocked the car with force. “Bloody hell.

Why would you even try to run away from me? You over-estimate yourself!’

‘What are you doing? How can you kidnap a child so openly? There are laws in place for this. I’ll call the cops if you don’t stop!” William argued while trying to reach for his phone.

‘Laws?” The one-eyed man punched William in the head. “Hahaha! People will laugh at you for being an idiot if you bring up the law in Water Dock. Here, the size of one’s fist is the law. This kid is coming with me today, no matter what!’

After being punched, William felt dizzy. He was a doctor who merely used surgical knives. He was no match for the one-eyed man.

When he saw the one-eyed man opening the door to the backseat, he started yelling in Adie’s direction. “Kid, run, now!”

However, Adie didn’t panic. He crossed his arms. “Hey, one-eyed guy, are you sure you want to take me with you? I’m afraid you might not have what it takes!”

‘Hehe. This kid is interesting. He’s got guts. That makes him perfect as my adopted son. Tell me. Why do you say I might not have what it takes?”

“That’s because Carmine Pawnshop’s owner specifically asked for me. If you want me, that means you’re going against him. Why don’t you take me to Carmine Pawnshop and fight with their boss? I’ll go with whoever wins,” Adie said in a logical manner.

“Oh my god. You… You actually knew?” William nearly passed out after being hit. He was shocked when he heard what Adie said!

“Are you kidding me? Mr. Q has been very mysterious since he took over Carmine Pawnshop four years ago. He comes goes to Water Dock several times a year. Why would he want a kid like you?

Why would I fight him?
