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!"
