BXBX NOVEL Chapter 445 APPLE’S CHEEKINESS
Chapter 445 APPLE\'S CHEEKINESS
Adrian was indeed the leader of this association and he also managed the men in the place, but it must be noted that he was a little arrogant and always looked down on women, particularly in physical strength.
Although Jayden disagreed with his opinion that women couldn\'t beat men, he never thought of arguing about it either.
In this city A, who didn\'t know Ramon Tordoff? The most feared man in the business world, and the man who made it smooth for the Tordoff family to expand its business network? But when his father had to face the two women at home, he would not move.
Jayden thought it was funny, until he realized that his father\'s traits had been passed on to him. It wasn\'t funny anymore.
Therefore, when he saw Apple putting Adrian in his place and shocked all the men in this room, he smirked, satisfied.
"Okay, enough with the violence," Jayden said, then glanced at Apple. "You can keep it to yourself." The girl still looked annoyed, but she knew better to not start another fight with that man.
And after hearing what Jayden said, Apple put the knife back down. She secured it by hiding it under the jacket she was wearing, in a safe place, where she would be able to retrieve it quickly if needed.
"Adrian, this is Apple, she will be taking Pyro\'s place for a while," Jayden introduced Apple to the man again and deliberately didn\'t say that Pyro was her father, because that would leave an unpleasant impression. "And Apple, this is Adrian, he is the leader of this place."
Apple and Adrian just nodded at each other as a formality.
"Now, you can show me the place where those people are being held," Jayden said to ease the tense atmosphere. They needed to get out of there immediately. If this tension wasn\'t diverted in time, there might be another fight.
Still a little annoyed, Adrian finally agreed and without saying anything else, he immediately walked first to the second floor of this place, where they held the cousin of the head of the organization that Jayden had been looking for.
While Apple followed the two of them, leaving the men there who still looked aghast at what she had done. The girl had her arms folded across her chest, but Jayden knew she just wanted to feel safe by feeling the weapons hidden underneath her jacket.
They finally climbed the stairs, past several large, burly men, who looked like Adrian. All of them bowed, saluting Jayden each time they passed him.
Immediately, Apple realized how much influence this man had to subdue men like them.
Adrian led them through two doors on the right side of the stairs and at the third door, they stopped and the man on guard opened the door for them.
Apple came into the room last, ignoring the questioning stares from the man guarding the door, since women weren\'t usually allowed in there.
And after Apple was inside, she could immediately see a man lying on the floor with his body completely covered in wounds and blood splattered on the floor.
The room was quite large, however, nothing was there, so the large room seemed plain and empty.
"I hope you won\'t cry just at the sight of this." Andrian deliberately slowed his pace so he was beside Apple and whispered the words.
Jayden heard this and only used the corner of his eye to see how Apple reacted to the ridicule and sight before her.
And as expected from Pyro\'s daughter, Apple actually snorted and rolled her eyes at Adrian, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"What sight?" she asked nonchalantly. "Is that all you can do?"
Jayden bit his bottom lip and took a deep breath to prevent himself from laughing at Apple\'s comments and destroying the self-image he had built. This wasn\'t the time to laugh, especially laughing at the leader of his group, but the expression that Adrian showed really made Jayden want to pat the man on the back and say; you took the wrong opponent.
Jayden might find Apple\'s comments funny, but it was not the case for Adrian, his face turned bright red when he heard what the young girl had to say.
"You!" Adrian growled. He was about to raise his hand and Apple prepared to pull out the knife neatly tucked away in her jacket.
But, Jayden had taken it a step further. "ENOUGH!"
Jayden\'s loud, deep voice echoed through the empty space and made the two fighting humans stop in their tracks, holding themselves back, while the other three men flinched, shocked at Jayden\'s anger.
Well, if Jayden couldn\'t laugh out loud, at least he could still channel it out in a different way.
"Wake up the man," Jayden said to the other two men, while Apple and Adrian were in a cold war with one another.
The man who was ordered by Jayden immediately carried out his orders and immediately woke the poor man who was lying on the floor by dousing him with cold water filled with ice cubes.
Of course, the cold water splashed all over the place and since Jayden was a bit further away, he didn\'t get hit, but not so with Apple and Adrian.
They both stood too forward and when the cold water splashed neither of them noticed, but Apple swiftly took cover behind Adrian.
She immediately stood behind Adrian\'s body, making the man her human shield.
Therefore, while water and blood splashed on his body and stained the white shirt he was wearing, Apple was fine.
Of course, this made Adrian even more furious and Jayden could only facepalm himself seeing Apple\'s cheekiness.
"Don\'t stand behind me!" Adrian growled, he turned around and glared at Apple.
While the young girl he was staring fiercely at only raised her hands as she said lightly. "Okay."
