Chapter 482

The car soon arrived at the infamous Carmine Pawnshop. The place was rumored to be a treasure house, filled with displays of rare treasures, curious cultural antiques, exotic animals, and other peculiar paraphernalia from all over the world.

Nevertheless, the actual pawnshop did not occupy a large area at all. In fact, it was just a simple building. It did not even have that many guards surrounding it, so it looked no different from the other buildings in the area.

The car drove into the pawnshop’s private garage. Mr. Q parked the car and turned to Adie, and asked him in a leisurely tone, “Are you sure you want to go inside? You do know that anyone who’s stepped into Carmine Pawnshop gives up the control of their own fate, don’t you?”

“I’m just a kid,” Adie replied chirpily, blinking his big bright eyes innocently,” so anything I say doesn’t count. As for you being in control of my fate, you’ll have to ask for Mommy’s permission before you can do that.”

Adie had always been an expert in using his status as a child to his own advantage. He was clearly much smarter than many adults!

“Your mommy again, huh?”

The man drummed the steering wheel with his long slender fingers. The feather mask could not fully conceal his handsome face, just as it could not conceal the playful smile on his lips as he added, “You’ve been going on and on about your mommy all the way here. Is she really that great? Do you love her very much?”

’Of course I do!” Adie’s eyes were pure and innocent as he answered the question. His voice was firm, and he was filled with pride. “Mommy’s the greatest person in the world! She can do anything! No one on this planet is better than her! I love her very, very much!”

But then his bright eyes quickly dimmed, and in a lowered voice Adie added, “But right now, Mommy’s facing an opponent, so I must find a way to help her eliminate this opponent. I don’t want her to be too tired.”

“Oh?” the man could not help but raise his eyebrows.

Adie was completely undaunted even as he was faced with the man’s intimidating aura. Instead, he went straight to the point and clearly stated his intentions of seeking this man out.

“You must be curious about the identity of this opponent of hers, aren’t you? Well, it’s really not that hard to guess. Mommy said this man is a mean villain. Everyone in Beach City wants to defeat him. I guess you want to defeat him too. That’s why I came to find you. I hope you can be Mommy’s helper, and when Mommy finally wins. I’m sure she’d be very generous in rewarding you…”

The man’s expressions beneath the mask became even more complicated now. He coldly asked, “Why don’t you tell me who this mean villain is?”

“Can’t you guess? It’s Stefan Hunt, the president of H Group, of course! You’re an idiot, aren’t you?!”

Adie slapped his forehead, looking very disappointed. He had expected Mr. Q to be powerful and intelligent, but he unfortunately turned out to be so stupid. Even Daddy Liam was smarter than him! If he had known this, he would never choose him to be his mother’s helper!

“That man, huh? Well, he is pretty impressive, I’ll give you that. So what does your mommy think of him?”

“Mommy said Stefan Hunt is the most arrogant, cunning, and ruthless person in Beach City. He’s also the person she regrets ever knowing the most! And because he’s always so cocky he ends up offending many people! The whole of Beach City wants to defeat him! If you add up all of his enemies together, you’d get more people than the water in the sea!”

“Is that so?”

The man suddenly clenched his fingers. The smile on his lips turned cold and stiff, and the expressions underneath his mask were inscrutable. He stared at Adie’s little face from behind the mask, regarding the boy’s adorable face, healthy red lips, and clean white teeth. He then brusquely asked, “Did your mommy ever tell you who your daddy is?
