In the market, Mabel turned to look at the punks who were rounding up on her. Fear was written all over her face.

Mabel could no longer care about her groceries when she realized that the punks quickened their pace. She immediately threw the groceries away and broke into a run. The punks realized that Mabel was running away. They shouted and went after her. "D*mn it, she realized that we're following her. Quick! Get her!"

Mabel felt the punks closing in on her. She screamed as she ran, "Help! There's a group of thugs chasing after me! Help!"

The crowd in the market could not help but give Mabel strange looks when they heard her.

Some of the helpful passers- by seemed furious and wanted to help.

However, a punk with red hair immediately took out a dagger and shouted, "We are Young Master Larry's men. I'll not hesitate to cut anyone who dares to interfere!"

The crowd was shocked. Immediately, they lowered their heads and looked away.

Everyone in Hamlin City knew about Young Master Larry.

Young Master Larry was the leader of the gangsters in Hamlin City. He gathered a group of ignorant young men and stirred up a lot of troubles. He went against the law and harmed the citizens, causing them to resent him.

However, he was good at fighting. His sister was doing great too and she had some connections in Hamlin City. Therefore, the citizens were upset but they could not do anything about it.

Everyone dared not make a move when Young Master Larry's name was mentioned. After all, they were living in Hamlin City and they wanted to carry on a peaceful life. Hence, they dared not offend Young Master Larry.

The crowd sighed and they could only offer a silent prayer for Mabel. They hoped that she would be lucky enough to escape.

However, their prayers were not answered.

Mabel was just a weak girl and she was outnumbered. Soon, several punks caught up to her and surrounded her in front of a butcher stall.

"What, what do you want?" Mabel stared at the punks in fear.

Sean, the punk with red hair, chuckled grimly, "Young lady, you're quite pretty! I couldn't help myself when I saw you." "Boss, why don't you play with her right now? The rest of us could try something new too," a punk shouted.

The other punks immediately agreed and they started laughing madly. They could not care less about the crowd around them.

Sean waved his hand while the others laughed and commanded, "This young lady is not bad but she belongs to Young Master Larry. We are not allowed to act recklessly."

The rest of the punks were a little disappointed when they heard Sean.

A young man exclaimed, "Girl, you're lucky that Young Master Larry took a liking to you!"

Another asked, "I wonder if Young Master Larry will let us have a go at her once he's done with her?"

Sean waved his hand and instructed, "Alright, enough of the nonsense. Take her away. Young Master Larry is waiting for us."

As he spoke, several punks caught Mabel and tried to drag her away forcefully.

Mabel immediately screamed and struggled to break free. How was she going to escape when she was outnumbered?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Sean before the punks could tug Mabel away. The figure said coldly, "Let her go!"

Sean was taken aback. He stared at the man in front of him and sized up the latter. He raised his head and scoffed, "Who are you? How dare you get in my way? Do you know who I am? Get out of my way right now!"

"Brother Chen!" Mabel cried out in pleasant surprise when she spotted the man.

Fade nodded at Mabel and comforted, "Mabel, I'm here, so don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."

Sean sneered, "You know her?"

"Let her go right now!" Fade glared at Sean and shouted.

"Let her go? Are you kidding me?" Sean scoffed, "Let me tell you. Young Master Larry ordered us to get this girl. Know your place and get out of here now. Otherwise, we'll make you pay."

Fade did not back away. Instead, he took a step forward and exclaimed icily, "I told you to let her go. Did you hear me?"

"F*ck! How dare you threaten me? Guys, beat him up!" Sean ordered. Several of his followers immediately surrounded Fade.

These men were weak and they were nothing to Fade. He landed a few blows on them and within a few seconds, they were all lying on the ground.

"You!" Sean was shocked when he saw what happened.

However, his shock was immediately replaced by fury. He took out his dagger and growled, "Kid, I'm going to cut you to pieces!"

Sean waved his dagger as he spoke and tried to stab Fade.

Sean's movement was swift and threatening to the crowd. However, Fade thought that Sean was just messing around and weak.

Fade stood rooted to the spot. He reached out his right hand and grabbed Sean's wrist. He twisted Sean's wrist and Sean could not help but release the dagger.

Fade seized the dagger and slammed Sean's back with his left hand. He pressed Sean against the butcher's chopping board before stabbing the latter with the dagger. There was a sharp clink and the dagger punctured through Sean's hand. It nailed Sean to the chopping board and he screamed in agony. He shrieked, "Ah, my hand!" Fade slapped Sean in the face and snapped coldly, "Shut up!"

Sean was petrified. He swallowed his pain and dared not make a sound.

"Tell me, who instructed you to touch her?" Fade pointed at Mabel and asked Sean sharply.

Sean dared not hide the truth. He immediately replied, "It was Young Master Larry."

"Young Master Larry? Why would he capture her?" Fade frowned.

Sean answered hurriedly, "Young Master Larry's full name is Larry Yang. He's the boss of the gangsters in Hamlin City. He only ordered us to catch her but he did not tell us why." "Where is Young Master Larry now?" Fade demanded.

Sean hesitated for a moment but when he noticed Fade's cold eyes, he immediately explained, "Young Master Larry is in the brothel over there. He's still waiting for us to bring her to him." "He's here? That's good! Take me there now!" Fade removed the dagger and blood started gushing out from Sean's wound. Sean screamed in agony again.

However, Sean had no choice but to endure the pain. He covered the wound with his other hand and led Fade and Mabel to the brothel.

In the brothel, a man in his late twenties was relaxing on the couch. A woman was massaging his shoulders while another scantily clad woman was lying in his arms.

The scantily clad woman was none other than the cheater that Fade met in the hotel the previous night. She was Linda Xu, Mabel's high school classmate.
