Chapter 478
Adie hung up right after divulging the key information. He also switched off his
phone’s GPS system so that the police wouldn’t find him too soon.
On top of that, he intentionally left his belongings behind at the hotel when he
left earlier. If the police caught Briar now, there’d be solid evidence of her crime.
‘Hehe!’
After William finished smoking, he returned to the car. Adie was still sleeping.
William couldn’t resist sighing.
“Poor kid.”
Enter title…
He filled up the petrol tank and started driving faster than before.
Water Dock was even brighter at night than during the day. All types of people
were out and about.
Ordinary people wouldn’t even dare enter this lawless place.
Men would have their organs harvested, while women would be forced into
prostitution. As for fair, good-looking boys like Adie, one could only imagine the
horrors that would befall him if he was caught on the streets!
William’s legs were shivering when he drove into this area.
Unfortunately, their car was stopped less than a mile away from Carmine
Pawnshop.
Bang!
One of William’s car tires ruptured. A man with one eye walked over with a
watermelon knife while chewing gum. ‘ Hey, you must be real bold, coming to
Water Dock in the middle of the night. Your tire’s blown. You’re lucky I’m here to
help.”
William held onto the steering wheel tightly. “Thanks but no thanks. I have a
spare tire.”
“Your tire is inferior to mine. My tire is the passport you need to enter Water
Dock. I guarantee you’ll be able to go wherever you like when you have it on.
Otherwise, you might just suffer more punctures!”
Clearly, the one-eyed man was the person who intentionally caused William’s
tire puncture. His objective was to demand money.
William couldn’t be bothered to argue any further. “How much does your tire
cost?”
“That depends on what valuable goods you have.” The one-eyed man chewed
on his gum before looking into the car. He was initially searching for expensive
goods, but his eyes lit up when he saw Adie, who was sleeping in the backseat.
“Your kid here looks valuable. He’s fair and adorable. I’ll adopt him as my son.”
No way! Somebody has already made a booking. You better not get any wrong
ideas. If you want money, make an offer!” William exclaimed.
“Damn it! I’ll do whatever I want. Stop yapping!” The one-eyed man slapped
William across the face and swung his watermelon knife around. “Cut the crap.
Get out of the car right now. This kid is mine. Otherwise… I’ll chop your head
off!”
“Dream on!” William quickly rolled up the window and locked the doors. He then
stepped on the gas as hard as he could, intending to drive directly to Carmine
Pawnshop.
However, the one-eyed man, an influential person in the dock, immediately
ordered someone to block his way with another car. He then struck his
watermelon knife against the car door. “Damn it. Get out, or I’ll chop your head
off!”
“This…” William panicked. He didn’t expect the man to be so unreasonable. Just
as the rumors claimed, Water Dock was as terrifying as hell. It explained why
Briar sent him!
“What are you waiting for? Step on it!” Adie could no longer pretend to be
asleep. He got up and started yelling at William
