At this moment, Shirley had already run up to Lisha and lifted the veil covering her face.
Looking at the familiar face, Shirley said angrily and amusedly, “It’s really you! l just felt you were familiar… Lisha, why did you run out of the mayor‘s residence so late at night? Don’t you know it’s dangerous outside?!”
“I just came to attend an auction with my friend. I didn’t expect it to end so late, and l was a little hungry, so l…” Lisha explained with a bitter smile.
Shirley glanced at Jagoan, who was beside Lisha, and asked, “Is he your boyfriend? What kind of taste do you have to choose such a man? You‘re Uncle Claremento‘s daughter, maybe even the future mayoress. How can you be so casual in choosing a partner?”
“You’ve misunderstood. He really is just my friend, not my boyfriend,” Lisha said helplessly.
As she spoke, Lisha looked worriedly at Jagoan, afraid that Shirley’s words would anger him.
Fortunately, Jagoan did not get angry. He was now focused on watching Timaeus fighting with the hooligans.
After hearing Lisha’s explanation, Shirley said, “I knew it. How could such a coward who looks so ordinary and incapable of even protecting a woman be qualified to be your boyfriend?”
“lt’s not like that, he…” Lisha was about to defend Jagoan, but at that moment, Timaeus’s voice came over.
“Shirley, take Lisha and the young man away from here quickly. I still can hold on for a while longer!”
Shirley immediately agreed, “Understood, Grandpa! Hang in there, don’t get knocked down!”
Listening to Shirley’s conversation with Timaeus, Lisha felt extremely strange.
Who talks to their grandfather like that?
However, Shirley did not care what Lisha thought.
She grabbed her hand and said, “Lisha, come with me. We can’t stay here any longer.”
“Aren’t you going to call your bodyguards?” Lisha asked.
Surprisingly, Jagoan shook his head.
“Why should we leave?” Jagoan said in a calm voice.
Jagoan shook his head again and said calmly, “I’m not afraid…”
“You shameless person! Since you’re so capable, why didn’t you do anything earlier?” Shirley looked at Jagoan with anger and disdain.
“Him? I don’t believe it!” Shirley shook her head disdainfully.
The yellow-haired leader became alert when he heard Timaeus tell Shirley to take Lisha and Jagoan away from there. After all, their main targets were Jagoan and Lisha, not Timaeus and Shirley.
So, the yellow-haired leader shouted, “John and Frank, go kill Jagoan and Lisha. We’ll handle this old man!”
“Alright!”
Two brawny men picked up steel pipes and left the fight,then quickly ran towards Lisha and Jagoan.
Seeing this scene, Shirley’s expression suddenly became very scared. She did not know Dragon Kingdom’s martial arts like her grandfather!
“I told you guys to leave earlier, but you did n’t. Now we’re screwedl”
