“Watch out!” warned Solomon. He was leading the way, but he saw what was happening, so he immediately turned around to rescue Sasha.
At that crucial moment, however, it was another arm that grabbed Sasha and pulled her away from danger. After ensuring her safety, he mercilessly kicked the dog over.
Woof!
The dog whimpered on the ground after being kicked.
Sasha was stunned in place.
Even Solomon was staring in astonishment. He couldn’t react for quite some time.
This weak-looking fella is actually that skilled a fighter?
“Sha…”
Lance seemed to have noticed that he did something wrong. He let go of Sasha’s hand right after he kicked the dog away, then he fearfully stood at her side with his head down.
He looked like a kid who had just been caught doing something bad.
Sasha swallowed hard.
She thought that something was off as well, but she instinctively wanted to protect her family. Hence, her first reaction was to shield her baby cousin.
“It’s fine. I’m okay. Don’t worry,” cooed Sasha before she took the initiative to stroke his slightly trembling shoulders and offered some comfort.
Lance finally stopped panicking.
He had his head down and fearfully snuck a peek at the dog before he started explaining himself, “There were a lot of dogs near the house I grew up in. They tended to bite others a lot, so I developed a habit of kicking them whenever they misbehaved.”
Sasha’s eyes glowed after hearing that. Any suspicion she previously had faltered.
“Yes, you are right. I forgot that you grew up in a village, and many villagers had dogs. I’m so sorry, Solomon. Lennie didn’t hold back just now and kicked the dog. We won’t be in trouble, will we?”
Solomon was stuck.
They had already gotten things to that state, so what else could he said?
However, he believed in Lance’s words when the latter claim that kicking the dog was a habit developed from growing up in a village.
He might’ve moved quickly just now, but there was no real technique in his kick. It is obvious that he only reacted that way because he does it all the time.
In the end, Solomon didn’t keep that incident in mind.
Still, when he met up with Andy in the garden, Solomon became proactive and gave Andy a magnificent gift as compensation for kicking his dog.
“We are so sorry, Mr. Rind, for causing so much trouble as soon as we drop by. If you don’t mind, I am willing to provide you with free legal counsel for two years to make up for it.”
“Really?”
