Chapter 993 Protective Over Someone
"Yes, as long as she's alright, that's good. Don't worry about losing the money. We're not short of money."
At this time, Chantel added in some comforting words to console Sierra.
Actually, Sierra was not concerned about the money.
Over the years, Sierra and Robert had lived in seclusion. Robert was a private person and would shy away from publicity. However, he was a very proficient person and did not lack money.
In fact, they also had servants in their secluded hideout, which made living there like living in paradise.
Hence, losing this small amount of money was not what bothered Sierra.
It's just that the incident frightened Sierra. At the same time, she was also worried about Robert chasing after the snatch thief.
Of course, Clarissa was also concerned about the same thing.
She turned to look at Anderson, "Go after them. Don't let anything happen to Robert."
There were no bodyguards with them as they did not want to attract attention.
Immediately, Anderson nodded and asked Mr. Jenkins to keep an eye on the three ladies. Then, he ran after Robert and the thief.
Unexpectedly, Anderson did not chase very far when he saw a familiar figure in front of him.
When Jara and Emmeline arrived at the exhibition grounds, they saw a man rushing out and knocking into Emmeline.
Jara was always protective over Emmeline. How could he tolerate such an incident?
Immediately, Jara responded and subdued the man.
At this moment, Robert caught up and explained the situation to Jara.
Upon knowing that the man was a thief stealing a lady's handbag, Jara kicked him in the shin. The man knelt from the force of his kick.
Knowing that he was no match for Jara, the man desperately threw the handbag into the crowd.
Everyone was stunned.
Straightaway, Robert headed into the crowd to retrieve the handbag.
The thief noticed that everyone's attention was on the handbag, and instinctively, he tried to break free.
He got up from the ground and tried to run away. However, he did not run more than a few steps when a kick came and hit him in the chest, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
Unable to get up, he started to cough till he was blue in the face.
Taken aback, Jara looked up and saw Anderson walking out from the crowd.
His eyes lit up and he called out to Anderson.
"Anderson, why are you here?"
Anderson was very surprised too.
Unexpectedly, he met up with Jara and Emmeline while he was chasing after the thief.
As Anderson lifted the thief from the ground, he asked with a smile, "How come you're here too?"
Jara replied, "Emmeline and I are here to take care of some matters."
There was a mischievous hint in his eyes as he said this.
Immediately, Anderson knew what Jara was up to.
There were others around. So, Anderson did not ask more. At this time, Robert came back with the handbag and stared hostilely at the thief.
"How dare you rob in broad daylight! Hah! I think you must be looking for trouble."
As Robert spoke, he swung his fist to punch the thief.
The thief took a step back in fright, but Anderson stopped him. Then, Anderson introduced Robert to Jara and Emmeline.
"Mr. Lane, let me introduce them to you. This is my friend Jara, and this is Emmeline."
Both Jara and Emmeline greeted him.
Staring at them, Robert was stunned.
Although Robert lived in seclusion in his hideaway, he was by no means ignorant of current affairs.
On the contrary, Robert went by the moniker 'Ghost Doctor' and was intimately familiar with the underworld.
The moment Robert saw Jara and heard his name, he immediately thought of an underworld personality.
His eyes could not help but drop.
As he dropped his fists and stopped hitting the thief, Robert responded flatly, "So, this is the boss of Lost Vanguard. Lately, Lost Vanguard made the news. I am indeed honored."
With a faint smile, Jara replied, "We're only making ends meet compared to the Ghost Doctor. Mr. Lane, you're too modest."
Since they knew each other, Anderson did not say anything else. He grabbed hold of the thief and said, "This thief stole Mom's bag. Why don't we bring him over and let Mom deal with him?"
Robert thought for a while.
In the end, he did not object and nodded in agreement.
When Jara heard Anderson mention 'Mom', he was surprised.
After all, he knew that Anderson's parents both passed away long ago.
In that case, the person he could call 'Mom' would be...
However, that would not be possible because both Vivine and Sierra should have passed away.
So, who was Anderson referring to?
With these doubts in his mind, Jara and Emmeline followed Anderson to the entrance of the theatre.
Next to the entrance where there was an open space, Clarissa and the others stood waiting. Finally, they saw two familiar figures approaching.
Filled with relief, they rushed forward to greet Anderson and Robert.
"How is it? Are you alright?"
"Did you catch him?"
In reply, Anderson flung the motionless thief to the ground and said, "We caught him."
Then, Robert handed the bag to Sierra, asking, "Take a look. Is there anything missing?"
Sierra took her handbag and took a quick look. She shook her head in response.
"No, nothing is missing."
"That's good." Robert paused and looked at the thief in disgust. Then, he said, "I was going to teach him a lesson, but Anderson suggested to let you deal with him since he stole your things. How do you want to deal with him?"
When she heard this, Sierra looked at Anderson thankfully.
Sierra knew that Robert was not a bad person in the heart but was very stubborn, particularly towards wrong-doing and revenge.
To put it simply, his IQ was high, but his EQ was low.
To Robert, it never occurred to him that he would be facing troubles if he, the Ghost Doctor, beat up someone in the streets of Ashax country.
It was not that they were afraid, but was it not still best to avoid trouble?
Furthermore, it was a theft, not a crime worthy of a death sentence.
The thief looked like he was in his teens to Sierra.
He was dark-skinned and thin. Both his eyes were fixed on Anderson, who carried him here. He was trembling with fear.
In a gentle tone, Sierra asked, "What's your name? Why do you steal things?"
Her question shocked the thief, who did not answer.
Then, Mr. Jenkins smiled and explained, "This child is a local. I guess he doesn't understand what you said. Let me interpret for you."
Being a frequent traveler, Mr. Jenkins was also familiar with the language of Ashax country.
Quickly, he asked the thief in Ashax country language.
Then, the child understood and answered softly.
Mr. Jenkins interpreted what the child said, "His name is Teagan. He has no money. That's why he steals."
Sierra frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she asked,
"If you need money, why don't you go to work? How about your family? You look to be in your teens. Why aren't you in school?"
