Chapter 140 Still Suffered
Summer muttered, "Just a side character, huh?"
Compared to the Lewis Group, Blue Venture Group was straight-up garbage.
And John? Yeah, he was the big shot behind Nightfall.
Leo snickered. "Kid, you got a big mouth. We almost got nabbed back there. Oh, and I heard this ViperStrike dude's into young kids. Maybe he grabbed you guys 'cause he wants to..."
"Looks like we gotta find another spot," Summer said, eyeing a group heading their way.
Leo turned and saw the trouble brewing.
A group was closing in, boxing them in.
They were in some abandoned part of the amusement park, totally off-limits and deserted. Sucks, but they were stuck at the only exit.
Leo gulped. "ViperStrike's after you guys. He should let me go, right? I ain't some fresh meat."
"Leo, if you ditch us, I'll tell Sophia," Loren said casually. "Wanna be the hero or the zero? Your call."
Leo sighed. "Loren, that's low. You're hitting me where it hurts."
Summer saw the group getting closer and knew they were cornered.
Sam and Tyler wouldn't make it in time, but Summer kept his cool.
He'd just found out about the beef between Nightfall and Blue Venture Group. Nightfall had recently crushed Blue Venture, tanking their business.
ViperStrike was here for payback.
Last time, Sam handled it. Summer silently cursed Sam for not finishing the job.
The men in black surrounded them, led by ViperStrike.
Thinking it was just two kids, they sent a few guys. But after failing to catch them, ViperStrike came himself.
"Grab 'em all," ViperStrike ordered.
Several bodyguards moved in.
Loren said, "Leo, you go."
Summer and Loren stepped back, hiding behind Leo.
Leo looked at them in disbelief, almost in tears. "You can't just throw me under the bus like this."
Summer said innocently, "We're kids, you're the adult. Protecting us is a virtue."
Leo looked at the burly men, his legs shaking. "I can't even beat Aurora, how can I take them on? This is suicide."
Summer and Loren exchanged a glance. "We believe in you. Go for it."
Summer was stalling for time. They'd be safe once Tyler and Sam arrived.
"Hand over the kids, or I'll blow your head off," one of the men in black said, pointing at Leo.
Leo turned to see the kids looking at him with trust. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll fight you! If you want them, you'll have to go through me."
"Ah!" Leo shouted to pump himself up, his momentum rising.
"Go, Leo!" Loren cheered.
Summer also shouted, "Leo, we believe in you."
Leo felt pumped, grabbing the arm of the man in black, trying to throw him. But it was no use.
Leo held on, but the man didn't budge. He couldn't lift him.
Loren and Summer were a bit helpless.
The man in black glared at Leo. "Huh?"
Leo was half the size of the guy and clearly outmatched.
"It was a misunderstanding." Leo laughed nervously, then stomped hard on the guy's foot. "Take that!"
"Ah!" The man yelped in pain and angrily threw Leo.
Leo crashed into a tree and hit the ground, groaning like his insides had been scrambled.
Summer and Loren covered their eyes; it was too painful to watch.
ViperStrike barked, "Quit messing around. Grab 'em all."
"Let them go, I'll come with you," Summer stepped forward. "You're after me, not them."
ViperStrike replied, "True, it ain't about that coward, but it's all about you two. I'm after both of you."
Summer frowned. "What does this have to do with Loren?"
He was the one from Nightfall, not Loren. Why was ViperStrike after Loren?
ViperStrike sneered. "You two are John's sons. If I nab you, John will be at my mercy."
John's sons?
Leo was totally lost.
Summer smiled politely. "You must be mistaken. We're not John's sons."
"How could I be mistaken? I got photos," ViperStrike compared the photos with Summer and Loren. "It's definitely you two. Take them away, and that coward,too."
Summer and Loren were puzzled. They didn't even know they were John's sons. How could ViperStrike be so sure?
Leo got up and said, "You're really mistaken. John couldn't possibly have sons. These two aren't his. Ask around if you want proof."
ViperStrike said, "Someone called and said these two kids are John's illegitimate children. Whether they are or not, take them away first. John took advantage of me, showed no mercy. This time, I'll make him pay."
When Nightfall crushed Blue Venture Group, they used the name of Lewis Group.
It wasn't aimed at Nightfall; it was aimed at John.
Personal vendetta?
John had ticked someone off, and they wanted to use others to get rid of him?
Loren and Summer exchanged a glance. Loren asked with a smile, "Since we can't escape, can you at least tell us who wants to capture us?"
ViperStrike replied, "Kid, trying to get info out of me? You're too green. But you are clever, hiding in the stuffed animals."
What puzzled ViperStrike more was that these people didn't run home or call the cops, making him wary of a trap. But at this point, he couldn't care less.
Summer stared at ViperStrike. "If you capture us, you better be ready for the consequences."
ViperStrike laughed. "Kids, when I started in this business, you weren't even born yet. Take them away. I don't care who you are. Besides Nightfall, who else do I fear?"
Thinking of being tricked by Nightfall, leading to his current miserable state of running and hiding from debts, ViperStrike was filled with resentment.
Summer smirked. It seemed ViperStrike didn't know that John was the mastermind behind Nightfall.
Trying to get revenge on John? Even two lives wouldn't be enough.
The three didn't resist anymore; it was pointless. Summer gave Leo and Loren a look, and they obediently followed.
Summer didn't dare resist, worried these people might harm innocents.
There were too many tourists and kids in the amusement park.
