“Yes, Justin!” the burly men in black replied in unison before approaching Harold to take him down.
Shocked, Wrenna promptly let go of her daughter and moved in front of Harold to defend him. “No!”
He was too lazy to speak, so he just picked her up and used her to launch a sweeping attack.
Before the burly men could react to what had happened, her high heels slashed open a bloody wound on their faces.
“Ahh!”
The burly men fell to the ground as they screamed in agony.
“All right, those guys are taken care of. Let's leave!” Harold said casually after putting down the dumbfounded Wrenna.
Then, he grabbed Charlotte's hand and prepared to leave the Turner residence.
After the girl saw how amazing her “father” was, she clapped excitedly. “You're so awesome, Daddy!”
Just as Harold was about to bring Wrenna and her daughter away, she stopped him.
Staring at him intently for a moment, she explained with a complicated expression, “Char and I can't leave with you. Adam's influence is too great. Even if we manage to escape Norwal City and Dellmoor, they'll find us sooner or later. You should leave on your own. Just pretend you never met us...”
When she finished her sentence, she pushed him out of the building.
“No! I can't abandon you two! Either you both leave with me, or I'll stay here and wait for that Adam guy to come!” With that said, Harold grabbed a chair and sat on it.
Originally, he planned to settle the two in a safe place before confronting Adam. However, it seemed like he needed to change his plan now.
When Wrenna's father saw how easily Harold took out the bodyguards, he immediately asked his son to call Adam. “So, you know how to fight. No wonder you're so fearless. Tinny! Give Adam a call and ask him to send more men here! I don't believe this brat is powerful enough to take on a large group of people!”
“All right, Dad!” Justin promptly pulled out his phone and made a call.
Harold did nothing to stop him.
“Don't push your luck, Harold! You may be able to fight several guys at once, but can you defeat one hundred of them at the same time? Get out of here quickly!” It infuriated Wrenna to see him acting so arrogantly. Why did I fall for a megalomaniac like him?
Regardless of how she advised or reprimanded Harold, he just sat there, unmoving.
His reply was identical each time. “If you and your daughter follow me out of here, I'll leave right now. Otherwise, I'll wait until Adam arrives and then bring you two away right before his eyes so he won't dare to bother you again.”
After persuading Harold for more than a dozen minutes, the anxious Wrenna finally relented. “Fine! I'll leave with you. If we don't move now, we won't have time to escape!”
I'll just go with him now and think about what to do next later.
Thus, she grabbed her daughter's and Harold's hand, ready to leave.
Seeing that Wrenna was willing to leave with him, he stood.
The moment he did, Justin's cold voice rang from behind them. “Don't you think it's a little too late for you three to leave?”
Right as Justin finished speaking, Harold heard legions of people arriving outside of the Turner residence and surrounding the entire place.
A man around his forties with a prisoner's haircut then stepped into the building with dozens of burly men in black following behind.
