BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188 - 188: This Is Between Me and Him
When Serenity saw Julian Hall’s unfriendly expression, she immediately said, “Mr. Hail, we’re here to look for someone and must have come to the wrong room.”
Julian took the cigarette out of his mouth with two fingers and smiled like a hooligan. “Miss Serenity, this is between me and him. It has nothing to do with you.”
Serenity saw how bitterly the two looked at each other as hatred seeped from their eyes. She was afraid they would start fighting, so she dragged Calvin Gilbert away and said, “Aren’t you supposed to be helping me find my friend? If I’m late, my friend might die.”
The two of them had only taken a few steps when they heard Julian Hall’s arrogant voice behind them again. “Stop!”
Serenity was losing patience but Calvin Gilbert stopped and said, “Go find your friend. 1 still have a score to settle with him. Call me if there’s anything.”
After he finished speaking, he pushed Serenity’s hand away and entered the private room as the door closed behind him.
Serenity grabbed her hair anxiously. One person was in danger while the other just walked into the lion’s den.
She was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do. So, she decided to analyze the pros and cons of her situation. Even if Calvin Gilbert and Julian Hall fought again, their lives wouldn’t be in danger. Sam didn’t have a strong family background, so he wouldn’t have such a good life.
She turned around and glanced at the private room Julian Hall was in. She made up her mind and decided to look for Sam first. Still, she couldn’t help but be a little worried. Julian Hall was the son of Deputy Governor Hall and was no different from a local hooligan. Moreover, there were so many of his men in the private room. If they fought, Calvin Gilbert would be at a disadvantage.
She thought for a while and remembered that John had returned from a business trip two days ago. She took out her phone and sent him a text message.
[Calvin Gilbert is in Room XXX at Golden Sands Bay. He’s in quite a pickle so please come quickly.]
Knowing the relationship between Calvin Gilbert and John, Serenity knew the latter would definitely come, so she did not have to worry about Calvin for now.
Sam was now the only one left troubling her. That b*stard didn’t even tell her the room number before hanging up.
She suddenly pushed the door of a private room open and saw a row of black-clothed bodyguards standing inside. The room had been thrashed but a handsome man sat on a sofa, looking around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
Serenity was stunned for a moment, knowing that these people were not to be trifled with, so she immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, I must have come to the wrong room…”
“Serene…” A hoarse and weak male voice came from the corner.
She turned around and saw that the person in the corner was Sam. She had been intimidated by the aura of these people just now and a bodyguard had blocked her view so she did not see Sam in the corner.
Her friend was covered in injuries and his nose was bleeding on his bruised face. Sam was looking in a very sorry state while hugging a camera tightly in his arms.
She went forward to help him up and gave him a good look. Seeing that there was not a single part of his body that was not injured, her heart trembled. “Are you alright?”
He spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned at her. “I’m fine.”
She looked at the group of bodyguards in black and then at the man sitting on the sofa. “This is a lawful society. What you’re doing is a crime. I’ve already called the police before I came.”
After saying that, she cursed herself in her heart for being stupid. Why did she forget to call the police before she came?
Since the man on the sofa remained silent, she supported Sam and was about to leave when a bodyguard blocked their way. She frowned and glared at him. “Don’t tell me you want to beat me up too?”
The bodyguard in black pushed held out his hand but Serenity didn’t know what he meant.
“Hand over the thing,” said the bodyguard in black coldly.
Hand over what?
