Inside the bar, Anthony walked around, thinking there was a chance to meet Natasha.
However, after walking for a round, he found nothing unusual, not to mention Natasha's figure.
On the contrary, as he wandered around in the bar, he attracted many people's attention.
After all, he was a “foreigner” over there.
As he found nothing, disappointment flashed across Anthony's face.
When he was about to return to his seat after letting out a sigh, a bulky man suddenly walked up to him and said something.
The man was a local in Spaunia, and he was speaking in his native language. Hence, Anthony could not understand him at all.
With a frown, Anthony asked him in Ustranian, “What did you say?”
The man continued to speak in his language.
“Do you speak Ustranian?” Anthony queried.
Clearly, both of them could not understand each other.
Since Anthony had no idea what he was talking about, he decided to just walk away. All of a sudden, the man grabbed his arm.
Furrowing his brows, Anthony turned and looked at him cautiously. “What are you doing? Let go of me.”
The man continued to talk non-stop. It even seemed as though he wanted to pull Anthony out.
Due to the man's brute look, Anthony was worried the former would harm him.
Anthony wanted to shake his arm off, but he failed to do so no matter how hard he tried.
Right then, Anthony secretly stretched out his hand to reach his watch and was about to switch it to attack mode. Looking at the man, Anthony warned him, “Let go of me now. Otherwise, you'll regret it!”
However, the man ignored his warning and continued babbling.
Anthony became anxious, but he was unable to break free at all.
Just as Anthony was about to attack, the man seemed to know what he wanted to do and immediately grabbed his hand, stopping him from attacking.
Frowning, the kid looked at the man in puzzlement.
The man smiled as if he had seen through Anthony.
Anthony lost his chance to attack, and it was impossible to ask Thalia for help, too.
“Let go of me!” Anthony struggled, but his strength was no match for the man. At this moment, Anthony was completely at the man's mercy.
He was left with no other option but to shout out for help from the people around him.
“Help! Help!” Anthony shouted in a pitiful voice, trying to arouse sympathy and seek help.
Unfortunately, the people around just looked at him, remaining motionless.
Anthony frowned at that. Why are the people here so cold-hearted?
Anthony looked at the man in front of him again. The latter showed him a devilish smile as if all of this was under his control.
Trying to calm himself down, Anthony thought of all kinds of ways that could save himself. He knew he had to stay calm at this moment.
As he was thinking, the man suddenly picked him up and threw Anthony over his shoulder, casually walking away.
Anthony was utterly befuddled.
What is going on?
Anthony began to struggle. Just then, he passed by several people who were drinking. As one of them was on the phone, Anthony fixed his gaze on the device. When he was close enough, he grabbed the phone over and smashed it hard onto the ground.
Crash!
The phone was smashed into pieces.
Finally, the owner of the phone reacted and stood up to block their way.
Just when Anthony thought he could be saved, the man carrying him took out some cash and handed them to the phone's owner without hesitation.
That was the charm of money.
The phone's owner was immediately pacified and put on a smile.
Although Anthony did not understand what they were saying, from the man's expression and body language, he could pretty much guess what was going on.
It seems the attraction to money is the same for everyone, regardless of where they come from and what language they speak.
When the phone's owner gestured for the bulky man to get out, Anthony completely understood.
What a materialistic world!
Letting out a sigh, Anthony yelled for help once again. Sadly, everyone else ignored him as though he was invisible.
Knowing that it was hopeless to get help, Anthony looked at the man and punched him fiercely. The man just looked at him with a surprised expression but did nothing.
Anthony gave him a thumbs down.
Seeing that he was about to be taken away, he suddenly thought of Thalia.
He shouted her name in Chanaean with all his strength, but his voice was drowned out by the loud noises in the bar.
With that, he was taken out of the bar.
Anthony's eyes were filled with despair as he was carried by the man over his shoulder.
Am I really going to be kidnapped by this man? Am I doomed now? I haven't found Nat! I can't die yet!
At that thought, Anthony began to struggle again, trying to create an opportunity to save himself.
As his bag was being restrained, he was unable to take out any self-rescue weapon. Staring at the man's shoulder, he bit down on it harshly.
“Argh!”
Finally, the bulky man reacted and put him down in pain. Staring at Anthony, he let out a furious shout.
Anthony could not be bothered to quarrel with him. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he turned and ran away.
Before he was able to escape, though, the bulky man grabbed him again.
Anthony struggled to break free and grabbed a chance to kick him in the groin.
“Argh!” the man roared in pain once more.
Anthony looked at him with a wicked smile. “You asked for it!” With that, he quickly made a break for it.
As soon as he turned around, he knocked into someone's arms.
As the person's scent was familiar, Anthony raised his head to look at the latter.
“D-Daddy?” Anthony was stunned.
Kenneth stared at him and said nothing.
“W-Why are you here?” asked Anthony.
“Shouldn't I be asking you this question?” questioned Kenneth.
Anthony's eyes glinted as he thought of something. “Daddy, he tried to kidnap me!” Anthony pretended to be aggrieved, trying to avoid answering his father's question.
The man behind Anthony was holding his groin, looking all resentful.
Staring at him, Anthony put on a satisfied smile. When he turned around, he realized Kenneth was staring at him intently, trying hard to suppress his emotions.
Noticing that Kenneth did not do anything but just kept staring at him, Anthony tensed. “Daddy? What's wrong?”
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
Oh no! I've fallen for his trap!
Covering his face, Anthony prepared to run away as fast as he could.
