“… ”
An eerie silence fell over the entire bus.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak for a moment.
A toy knife.
What is this?
This is a staged act, it was premeditated.
“How could this be?”
Even Kimi Hall’s tears stopped in their tracks. She grabbed the little knife off the ground and pressed it. Indeed, as Robin had demonstrated, it sprang back.
This really was a toy knife.
“The blood on the ground tastes a little sweet. No, this flavor, tomato sauce, I really like tomato sauce, I wouldn’t mistake it. This is tomato sauce,” someone on the bus smelled the ‘blood’ that had flowed out of Joe Braton earlier and discovered it was tomato sauce.
“You tricked me,” Kimi Hall turned her head and looked at Joe Braton, crying again, but this time not from being moved, but from hatred.
She hated being deceived the most.
“Listen, Kiki, let me explain. I only did this because I love you,” Joe Braton hurriedly stood up to explain.
“Love me? Hmph,” Kimi Hall let out a cold laugh.
“I swear, I, Joe Braton, really did this because I love you. If I break my word, may the heavens strike me with five thunders,” Joe Braton raised his hand, looking very sincere.
But Robin laughed again beside him.
When Robin laughed, Joe Braton panicked.
With Robin’s words, he truly panicked.
“Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning, daring to swear such an oath? Your legs are weak, your steps unstable, your ears limp, your face pale. It’s obvious you have been indulging excessively. This month, you’ve had intimate affairs with at least twenty women. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in such poor shape. If you don’t believe me, you can take him to the hospital now for an examination to see if he has over-indulged,” Robin said calmly from his seat.
“While it’s nothing for you to deceive some women, deceiving girls who haven’t entered society like this is going too far. Young master, you’ve used this trick many times before, haven’t you? How many women have you hooked?”
Robin’s words shocked everyone. This was a scumbag who specialized in deceiving young girls.
“You!” Kimi Hall glared angrily at Joe Braton.
“Kiki, listen to my explanation,” Joe Braton reflexively tried to defend himself.
Usually when he said this, the girl would stop listening.
But Kimi Hall actually said, “Explain, go on, explain.”
Joe Braton: “…”
He didn’t know how to explain. After all, it was the truth. He stammered for a long time but didn’t know what to say.
“You jerk!”
Kimi Hall immediately slapped Joe Braton in the face, “You really are a scumbag and a bastard. Don’t ever let me see you again. If you harass me, I’ll call the police.”
“No, I’ll call the police right now.”
Kimi Hall immediately called the police.
Joe Braton wanted to flee but he wasn’t like the previous knife-wielding thief. He was already weak from overindulgence. Let alone Robin, even the enthusiastic onlookers could stop him.
He was pinned down firmly.
“Kid, you’re pretty nasty despite your young age, trying to use such tricks to deceive your elders. Despicable,” the crowd scolded.
“He should be arrested and jailed for ten or eight years.”
“It’s because of him that we misunderstood the good Samaritan earlier.”
The enthusiastic crowds continued to berate him.
They had almost mistaken the good person because of him.
Soon the police arrived and took Joe Braton away, scolding him as they left, “Kid, you dare mess up my plans, I won’t let you off easy.”
With the person taken away, the bus started moving again.
“I’m sorry, I wronged you,” Kimi Hall came before Robin at this time, grabbing her skirt with both hands, full of regret, “I’m really sorry, I’m so sorry. My intelligence was lacking and I almost got tricked by him.”
She had been truly moved earlier and had truly hated Robin as the villain.
In the end, she realized Robin was the good guy and that Joe Braton was the one deceiving her.
This made her very uneasy. She hurriedly came to apologize.
“No need,” Robin shook his head, “It’s nothing, you should go back.”
Hearing the words ‘no need’, she became even more worried. She felt Robin had not forgiven her. She anxiously fumbled through her belongings and finally took out a pile of loose change. “I only have $32. 50 on me. Is that enough?”
$32. 50.
Robin laughed mirthlessly, “I said no need.”
“I don’t have anything else valuable on me. I can’t give you my body. Then, then…” Kimi Hall thought hard before finally thinking of, “That’s right, my family runs a barbecue place. I’ll treat you to barbecue tonight.”
“Alright,” this time Robin did not refuse again. If he kept refusing, Kimi Hall would start crying again.
Just earlier, she had looked so anxious when he kept refusing.
“Great!” Hearing his agreement, Kimi Hall immediately smiled happily.
Finally forgiven.
Beep.
Seeing her stop, Kimi Hall exchanged contacts with Robin and waved goodbye.
“Interesting,” Robin looked and then also got off the bus after hearing “Daqian Technology Group”.
He had arrived at his destination too.
…
North Coast Police Station
Inside, a police chief was fawning over a middle-aged man with a slicked back hairdo, “The mighty river overflowed the Dragon King’s temple. We didn’t expect to have apprehended Mr. Braton. This is really our mistake.”
“Humph,” the middle-aged man let out a cold snort.
Just then, the detained Joe Braton was released. Joe Braton shook his head, looking very unhappy.
“Young master,” this middle-aged man was not anyone important, just a steward. But he was the steward of the Braton family. Representing the Braton family.
The Braton family was a major clan in North Coast. With just a word, they had obediently released the person, showing their influence.
“Steward, call Tiger for me. That brat actually dared to ruin my plans. He must be tired of living,” a flash of killing intent appeared in Joe Braton’s eyes.
He had used this trick to seduce many women before. Never failed.
Even if someone discovered it, they didn’t dare speak up. He, Joe Braton, was an untouchable figure in North Coast. But today, he was actually exposed.
“Yes,” the steward replied. But then said, “Young master, as soon as you were arrested, I had people follow that guy. He’s at Daqian Technology Group now. We…”
“Immediately call Tiger. We’ll go block him,” Joe Braton ordered right away.
He didn’t want to wait a single minute.
As for Tiger, he was a figure in the underworld with dozens, even over a hundred, underlings. He usually did a lot of dirty work. Joe Braton calling him meant he wanted to kill that brat.
Yet he didn’t know that in going, he would be facing someone who struck fear across the entire world.
