Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689 A Quirky Boy 

The sudden shout shocked the boy. He almost fell off the edge. 

It was Alex and Auriel. They had just checked the footage and located the thief. 

Alex almost went crazy when he saw the boy was about to throw his snapdragon away.

He would not have minded the one hundred million he spent. It was just that the herb was so rare and precious. It would be a shame that it was thrown away just like that. 

The boy stood up and turned toward the two, looking at them haughtily. He shoved the snapdragon back into his pocket. 

He could tell from Alex’s reaction that the thing he had in his possession was of value. 

Auriel almost went berserk when she laid eyes on the young man. After all, he put her through all the shame and humiliation. 

“You’re such a young boy, and you’re already stealing like nobody’s business!” Auriel reprimanded. 

Alex moved closer, but the boy acted impulsively by taking out the snapdragon in his pocket and gesturing to throw it down the building. 

Alex stopped immediately and stepped back. “Hold on! This is a really rare herb called snapdragon. You can keep it for yourself. Just don’t throw it away like this? 

The boy looked at the thing in his hand, perplexed. He did not seem to buy a word Alex said, but he put the herb back into the pocket nonetheless, 

He darted his gaze around and took a swift turn, swooshing by Alex and Auriel, heading for the door, but before he could even reach the handle, a hand caught his collar and dragged him back. 

“I didn’t say you could just leave,” Alex said with a smile, lifting the boy off the ground. 

Although this kid was agile and swift, he was still no match for Alex. After all, Alex was a Master. 

The boy looked at him in terror. He never once thought Alex could actually get his hands on him. He struggled at first but soon realized there was no way he could break free. 

Just as he stopped putting up a fight, someone kicked him in the butt, and he turned around, furious. It was Auriel. 

Alex was speechless at what Auriel did to the boy. He hit the boy’s pressure points and immobilized him so he could not run away. 

Then he took the snapdragon from him and put it back in his jade box. 

Alex eyed the boy for a while and decided to bring him back with him so he could know more about his exceptional skill. This boy might be a gem. 

Auriel could not take her eyes off the boy throughout their journey home. She would stick out her hand, pinch the boy’s cheeks on and off, and smile at him.
