Chapter 306: I Want to Hug My Sister-in-Law
Thomas was terrified of encountering another venomous snake. He stuck close to Owen and anxiously asked, "Master, what about the snake that bit me? Did you kill it?"
"No, it escaped, but it was weak when it left. It did bite you, but it also drained its own energy," Owen sympathetically replied.
"It drained its energy? Then why didn't you finish it off while it was weak?"
Thomas was full of panic, "What if it comes back and bites me again? What should I do?"
"Don't worry, my brother can treat you again," Owen pointed at Alexander, "My brother is amazing, even more talented than me."
"Brother, you praise me too much," Alexander patted Owen's shoulder, "One day, you will surpass me."
"Ahh, brother, why are you so good at complimenting people? The more you compliment me, the more I like you," Owen happily skipped along, "If only I were a girl, then I could be good friends with my sister-in-law."
"..." Alexander remained silent.
Thomas held up his smartphone the entire time, taking pictures of all the martial arts diagrams on the stone walls.
As he was taking pictures, the camera captured the back of a woman with long flowing hair, wearing a blue floral crown on her head.
Why would there be a woman here? Curious, Thomas walked forward.
"Ivy! Come here!"
Upon seeing Ivy, Alexander quickly waved his hand, afraid that her beautiful face would catch Thomas's attention.
In the instant Ivy turned around, her eyes met Thomas's.
They both froze.
"Ivy? Are you my little sister Ivy?"
Excitedly, Thomas rushed forward, "I'm Thomas, do you remember me?"
"Thomas, big brother! It's you!" Ivy was overjoyed.
The two of them embraced passionately.
"Eh, eh, how did they end up hugging?" Owen was both anxious and annoyed, "My sister-in-law, I haven't even hugged her, but he... he... already did..."
Beside them, Alexander had an extremely unpleasant expression on his face.
"Thomas, it's been so many years since I last saw you. Where have you been all these years?"
"I... sigh, it's a long story!" Thomas felt extremely embarrassed.
Could he really tell her that he used to be the leader of human traffickers?
Just recently, one of his subordinates, Hannah, almost kidnapped Ivy's six children, and Ivy's children were nearly eaten by crocodiles.
Thomas wanted to apologize to Ivy, but he couldn't bring himself to mention this incident. If Ivy refused to forgive him, he could no longer be Ivy's big brother Thomas.
"Since it's such a complicated story, let's talk about it later," Ivy excitedly grabbed Thomas's hand. It was as if they were children again, with her treating him like her real older brother.
"Thomas, I never expected that you would be Owen's disciple. We're about to leave with Big Brother, why don't you come with us?"
"I..."
"I don't want to leave for now," Thomas said, fearfully releasing Ivy's hand.
Not only because of his identity as a human trafficker, but also because Alexander was glaring at him from nearby.
Ivy saw Alexander's unfriendly gaze and knew that he was jealous again. She quickly walked up and smiled sweetly, "Alexander, let me introduce you. This is Thomas, my good brother who grew up with me in the orphanage.
When we were at the orphanage, he was the one who treated me the best. Others bullied me, but he was the only one who protected me.
Thomas is like a brother and the orphanage director is like a grandfather to me."
Brother? Good brother?
When Alexander heard this, his mood instantly improved.
Although Ivy kept calling Thomas "brother," she only considered him a good brother in her heart.
"Alright, let's all go. It's getting late," Alexander held Ivy's hand and led the way out of the cave.
Hmm, forgot about me once he got a wife?
It's all because the sister-in-law is so charming!
"Hey, wait for me!"
Owen quickly caught up, seeing Ivy looking unbelievably beautiful, even more so than before.
She was too enchanting, oh, his heart itched, and he couldn't help but say to Alexander, "Brother, I want to hug my sister-in-law."
