Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 454

No matter how well-prepared Gabrielle was, the scar-faced man terrified her.

The man had a ferocious look, a scar extending from his chin to his forehead. His European features made up for his flawed face, making him both intimidating and handsome at the same time.

"Gabrielle, this is our boss, the Scarlet Scar. We call him Bain," Lance introduced.

'Scarlet Scar?'

Gabrielle had finally figured out why his house was painted in a bright crimson color.

"It's nice to meet you, sir... I'm Gabrielle Jones." She calmly greeted the boss, thinking of why he had attached the word scarlet to his name.

He appeared like a villain from the movies and story books. Lance told her he could make real criminals obey his orders. The dense forest was full of them.

But after meeting and speaking with a more powerful individual like Wilson, Gabrielle wasn't so surprised anymore.

"Miss Jones. Hello." Bain gazed at Gabrielle with his dark brown eyes, with an amused expression.

''I like your guts, Miss Jones. Most people would be afraid just by looking at me. It's no surprise that Lance is fond of you." Bain praised Gabrielle for her bravery.

He had a face that scared not only women, but also cowardly men.

Since all the villagers here had rap sheets, the were not afraid of anything and would do whatever they wanted.

So he didn't faze them.

Gabrielle obviously came from a prominent family. It surprised him that she had the courage to come all this way when she looked like she couldn't even hurt a fly.

He couldn't help but stare at Gabrielle again.

"Bain, Gabrielle is my cousin, and she's Bryce's sister. We have come for him. How is he now?" Lance felt uncomfortable as Bain stared Gabrielle down. He couldn't tell what the boss was thinking.

"Lance, do you think it'll be safer to take him to your place than to leave him in my care? There's no safer place in Bangkok than here. Am I right? It's also why you guys came here. To seek refuge so those men can't follow you anymore. But if you insist, I certainly won't stop you from taking him away." He didn't try to persuade them; he simply reminded Lance of the situation they were in.

And he was right. It was so much dangerous outside the forest.

Especially since Lance had been hunted down before.

"I know, Bain. But I have to let Gabrielle see Bryce first and we can decide what to do next.'' Lance was well aware of the danger they would face when they left the forest.

Staying here would be the best option for now.

"Well, he's with Doctor Maniac. You can go without me. Your rooms are ready too and Rose will take you there later." Bain had prepared everything for them.

"Thank you for this, Bain."

"Don't be. After all, you got in trouble because of me last time. We're here to help each other out.'' Bain spoke with loyalty.

That was the foundation of their brotherhood, loyalty.

Men who are faithful and loyal to their allies would always receive respect and more followers. And this strengthened their bond as a gang.
