Chapter 152 Beating up These Trashes

Chapter 152 Beating up These Trashes

Michael never expected that Charlotte would win, thinking that she was smart enough to stall for time. He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to get people over here to fight at the arcade.

Warren had been scrutinizing Charlotte boldly, and his lecherous gaze made Charlotte feel disgusted as if she had just swallowed a fly. She thought for a while and decided to hide behind Declan, keeping herself out of Warren's view.

Jennifer glanced at the glass of juice left on the side. She knew exactly what had been added to it. She glanced at Charlotte with malice in her eyes and smiled slightly, "Shall we begin?"

Charlotte nodded.

Charlotte looked earnestly at her phone screen.

She chose an ADC with a long reach and a second skill that could immunize against physical damage.

Jennifer was highly proficient in this game. After knowing that Charlotte had selected that hero, she immediately chose a mage.

Declan, seeing Jennifer's choice, exploded, "Hey, can you be more shameless? How could you pick him?!"

Jennifer's choice of hero had exceptionally long-range abilities and stunning hard control. The two heroes chosen by Charlotte and Jennifer were often referred to as "natural counters" by players. Of course, Jennifer had chosen the hero that naturally countered Charlotte's selection.

However, the game had already started, and Charlotte couldn't switch to another hero. Moreover, while others may not have known, Declan was clear that Charlotte could only play this particular hero at the moment.

The battle began.

In the early stages of the game, Charlotte felt immense pressure. The main highlight of the AD hero she had chosen was her second skill, which could immunize her from damage. However, Jennifer was using a hero that dealt magical damage, rendering Charlotte's second skill useless.

They had bet on who would draw first blood, meaning whoever died first would lose. Charlotte didn't dare to face Jennifer head-on and could only stay under the tower, enduring Jennifer's constant attack.

Soon, the first tower had been destroyed.

Charlotte bit her lip, and Jennifer looked at her and said, "Why not just surrender? It's meaningless to continue like this."

However, Charlotte had a stubborn and competitive spirit. She kept her eyes fixed on her phone screen and said, "You haven't killed me yet."

Jennifer let out a cold laugh.

She believed Charlotte was merely struggling in a losing battle.

Seeing that Charlotte's hero was almost dead, Jennifer made a bold move. She used her Flash ability and cast a skill to try to secure a kill. But Jennifer never thought that Charlotte would use her third skill to flash behind a wall, evading Jennifer's attack. Jennifer's skill missed, and her Flash was on cooldown. She muttered, "damn it," and desperately swiped her screen to escape, but it was too

late. The damage from the turret was too high, and she hadn't left the turret's range yet. The system displayed the kill notification.

Jennifer looked at Charlotte in astonishment. Charlotte, who had flashed over the wall, had even used her first skill to secure the kill. The system credited the killing to her.

Charlotte let out a sigh, put down her phone, and looked at Jennifer, saying, "Thank you for being merciful."

Jennifer, "..."

Warren's expression didn't look too good as he called, "Jennifer?"

Jennifer forced a smile, "I had a lapse of concentration in the game."

Declan looked as if it was he who had won, saying, "Your words are quite amusing. You lost! Just admit it! Stop making excuses."

He looked at Warren, "We won, so tell your people to back off."

Warren tossed the sunflower seed shells from his hand and glared at Jennifer, calling her trash.

Jennifer clenched her teeth and didn't dare speak.

Warren turned to Charlotte and asked, "Miss, are you really this reluctant to stay and play with me for a while?"

Charlotte wrinkled her small face and replied, "I told you that I want to go home."

Warren's face turned cold, and he took two steps back, saying, "Break the legs of these two nuisances and throw them out." It was clear that he had no intention of keeping his promise.

His gang, who had formed a circle, immediately responded and rushed towards Michael and Declan.

Charlotte was startled, and Michael casually pushed her to the back, saying, "Find a place to hide."

Charlotte looked at him with a pleading expression, "Can I call the police?"

"..." Michael said, "They must have colluded with the local police; otherwise, how dare they be this audacious? Hide yourself."

Charlotte replied with an "Oh."

She crouched behind an arcade machine, peering out from the edge, and witnessed Declan smashing someone's head onto the ground in a casual yet brutal manner.

Meanwhile, Michael fought in a way that didn't match his age. It was clear that he had some experience in combat sports, and he had a way of targeting vulnerable areas. His level of brutality was no less than Declan's.

Charlotte thought to herself, "These two are truly scary."

But there were just too many of Warren's gang and outnumbered opponents were hard to deal with after all. So Charlotte took out her phone and contemplated calling Nelson. Just then, another group of people rushed into the arcade, each holding a baseball bat. When Michael saw them, he immediately shouted, "Over here! Let's beat up these trashes!"

Charlotte could only watch the once peaceful arcade turn into a "battleground".

Warren's people were thugs and fought fiercely, but the reinforcements that Michael had called were not weak either. The two sides engaged in a brutal fight with cries and shouts, making the place a chaotic spectacle.

The brawl lasted for about half an hour, ending with Michael and Declan's victory.

Michael stepped on Warren's chest, looking down at him with disdain, "Remember to open your eyes wide next time. Some people are not to be messed with. Did you get it?"

Warren, beaten and bruised, had lost his earlier arrogance. He was afraid that Michael might kick him again and hastily said, "Got it! Got it!"

Michael released his foot and said, "Get lost."

Warren hastily got up and left.

After seeing that, his gang members left too.

Jennifer looked around, unwillingly gritted her teeth, and also ran away.

Michael greeted the people who came to support him and told them to go have a good meal.

Declan had a bruise on his forehead, and Charlotte wanted to tend to it, but Declan refused, saying, "Scars are a man's badge! Haven't you heard a saying?"

Charlotte looked puzzled, "What?"

"A man with a scar on his face is definitely not an ordinary man."

Charlotte, "..."

After exchanging a few earnest words with his comrades, Michael picked up a small basket filled with game tokens and shook it. "Want to keep playing?"

Charlotte nodded, "Yes!"

Declan was excited, "Then let's continue the racing game! I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

Charlotte, however, said seriously, "But I want to play the claw machine. Do you want to compete with me in that?"

Declan said nothing and thought inwardly, "Sorry, I admit defeat. Goodbye."

In the end, Charlotte caught three stuffed animals. After thinking for a while, she gave the dinosaur pajama-wearing duck to Declan, the Peppa Pig to Michael, and kept a cute, sleepy tiger for herself.

Michael couldn't understand why he was given the oddly shaped pink little pig, but because it was from Charlotte, he casually put it in his car.

Charlotte extended her hand to wave goodbye to Declan. Declan first said goodbye, but then remembered something and added, "Charlotte, if you don't reply to my WhatsApp again, the next time we meet, I'll make sure you know how formidable I am."

Charlotte made an "I'm so scared" expression.

Michael pushed her into the car, waved to Declan, and drove Charlotte back home.

As soon as the door opened, Magnolia rushed up to Charlotte. Charlotte picked up the dog, kissed it, and then asked Cora, "Where's Mr. Clark?"

Cora replied, "Mr. Clark is in the study. He said to tell you to go up there when you get back. He has something to tell you."

Charlotte was momentarily puzzled but headed to the second floor carrying Magnolia.

Nelson was going through some documents.

Beneath his slender brows were a pair of narrow, deep-set eyes with pupils of a very pure black color. His eyelashes drooped, concealing his thoughts in his eyes. His long eyelashes veiled the thoughts in his eyes, making him appear like a painting of an ethereal beauty from a distant era.

Magnolia whimpered a couple of times, and Nelson looked up at Charlotte, saying, "You're back."

Charlotte acknowledged with a soft "Mm-hmm" and walked over to his desk, asking, "Cora mentioned you wanted to talk to me."

Nelson was neutral, neither smiling nor cold, yet it inexplicably sent shivers down Charlotte's spine. He lifted his chin slightly and said, "I have a little gift for you. Take a look."

It was only then that Charlotte noticed a black wooden box on the desk.

She picked up the box and found a jade bracelet lying on a snowy white silk inside. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The jade bracelet was a vibrant shade of green, incredibly translucent, with a glass-like luster, both dazzling and elegant, captivating to the eye.

Charlotte held the box with a sense of bewilderment.

Nelson said calmly, "A friend gave it to me. It looks rather nice, so I thought I'd give it to you as a little plaything."

Charlotte asked cautiously, "It must be expensive, right?"

Nelson replied, "It didn't cost anything."

Charlotte sighed in relief, then took the bracelet out and examined it under the light. It seemed as if there was flowing water inside, looking delicate and grand.

Nelson said, "Let me put it on for you."

"Alright," Charlotte handed the bracelet to Nelson. Nelson held her left wrist, wrapped it with the snowy white silk, and slowly slid the bracelet onto her wrist.

Charlotte's skin was as fair as milk, making the bracelet shimmer even more and adding to its extraordinary beauty.

Nelson gazed at it for a while, his fingers still holding her wrist, and he softly asked, "Did you have a good time going out today?"

Charlotte, oblivious to the danger, nodded and said, "I did. Michael was very nice to me. He bought me snacks and chilled fruit juice. He even took me to eat crayfish, which was really spicy but delicious. After dinner, he took me to the arcade to play."

Nelson's expression remained unchanged, but the gloom in his eyes deepened. He suddenly inquired, "Is the outside world a happy place?"

Charlotte was taken aback and sensed that something was not right with Nelson. It was as if he was suppressing something.

She stared at Nelson blankly, cautiously asking, "Do... Do you not like me talking about these things?"

Suddenly, Nelson pushed her down onto the chair he was sitting in, leaning in closer and staring into her eyes.

Nelson really disliked Charlotte talking about those things.

He didn't want to hear other people's names from Charlotte, and he didn't want to see her smiling at others. Nelson just wanted to find a quiet place to confine Charlotte, to lock her away, so that only his reflection would be left in her eyes for the rest of her life...

But he couldn't tell Charlotte any of this.

Because Charlotte would be frightened away, just like everyone else.

Nelson's eyes were like those of a wild beast in the forest, bearing a fierce glint. Charlotte's eyelashes quivered as she said, "... Mr. Clark?"

Nelson pressed one hand on her shoulder while wrapping the other around her waist, drawing her closer to him. He was like a ravenous beast that had finally found its prey, clutching the tender morsel and refusing to let go. Yet, he was also reluctant to swallow it, so he could only hold it between his lips and teeth, savoring its fragrance and sweetness and plundering everything from the prey beneath his grasp.

Charlotte widened her eyes in fear and then whimpered a few times. However, soon enough, she became dizzy and could no longer resist Nelson's unrestrained manipulation.

It wasn't until a knock on the door and Cora's voice from outside, "Mr. Clark, it's time for your medicine," that Charlotte abruptly opened her eyes. She weakly pushed Nelson with her soft little hand, "Um... Um!"

Nelson's gaze darkened slightly. He took a bite on the tip of her tongue as if a wild beast was marking its territory, childish and dominant.

The man then straightened up, looking at Charlotte.

Charlotte tugged at her collar and looked at Nelson with a hint of grievance. She treated him like a father, but he actually kissed her and even stuck his tongue out!

Suddenly, Nelson chuckled. His smile resembled that of a seductive devil, drawing people into its allure without them realizing it. When Charlotte came to her senses, the attractive demon had already disappeared, leaving only an endless abyss of hell.

Nelson opened the door, took the medicine bowl, and after a quick glance, Cora left discreetly.

Charlotte's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto Nelson's chair, unable to get up. Nelson, with an expressionless face, drank the medicine in one go. His restless emotions seemed to calm down slightly.

Elizabeth Young once called him a monster who devoured people. At first, Nelson found it amusing, but now he couldn't help but believe that genetics was a terrifying force. He had been having nightmares lately, in which he killed Charlotte.

It was not entirely impossible.

Waylon had suggested, "If that's the case, you should send her away."

But...

Nelson gazed at Charlotte's face.

He couldn't bear to do that.

Nelson placed the bowl on the desk, and then suddenly lifted Charlotte onto his shoulder. Charlotte was startled, exclaiming, "Mr. Clark!"

Nelson calmly said, "Be lamb."

Charlotte, "..."

Magnolia barked aggressively, but Nelson paid no attention. He carried Charlotte straight back to his room and placed her on the bed. There was a hint of indifference in his expression as he said, "You're sleeping here tonight."

"Sleeping... here?!" Charlotte felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. "I... I..."

"Go take a shower," Nelson instructed.

Charlotte immediately jumped off the bed, "I... I'll go get my pajamas..."

She had only taken a few steps when she was caught by Nelson. He said, "If you step out of the room tonight, I will break your legs."

Charlotte, "..."

Mr. Clark was so terrifying! Why had Mr. Clark become like that? Sob, sob, sob!

Nelson casually found one of his shirts for her and said, "Go wash up."
