Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Beating up These Trashes

Michael never expected that Charlotte would win, thinking that she was smart enough to stall for time. He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to get people over here to fight at the arcade.

Warren had been scrutinizing Charlotte boldly, and his lecherous gaze made Charlotte feel disgusted as if she had just swallowed a fly. She thought for a while and decided to hide behind Declan, keeping herself out of Warren's view.

Jennifer glanced at the glass of juice left on the side. She knew exactly what had been added to it. She glanced at Charlotte with malice in her eyes and smiled slightly, "Shall we begin?"

Charlotte nodded.

Charlotte looked earnestly at her phone screen.

She chose an ADC with a long reach and a second skill that could immunize against physical damage.

Jennifer was highly proficient in this game. After knowing that Charlotte had selected that hero, she immediately chose a mage.

Declan, seeing Jennifer's choice, exploded, "Hey, can you be more shameless? How could you pick him?!"

Jennifer's choice of hero had exceptionally long-range abilities and stunning hard control. The two heroes chosen by Charlotte and Jennifer were often referred to as "natural counters" by players. Of course, Jennifer had chosen the hero that naturally countered Charlotte's selection.

However, the game had already started, and Charlotte couldn't switch to another hero. Moreover, while others may not have known, Declan was clear that Charlotte could only play this particular hero at the moment.

The battle began.

In the early stages of the game, Charlotte felt immense pressure. The main highlight of the AD hero she had chosen was her second skill, which could immunize her from damage. However, Jennifer was using a hero that dealt magical damage, rendering Charlotte's second skill useless.

They had bet on who would draw first blood, meaning whoever died first would lose. Charlotte didn't dare to face Jennifer head-on and could only stay under the tower, enduring Jennifer's constant attack.

Soon, the first tower had been destroyed.

Charlotte bit her lip, and Jennifer looked at her and said, "Why not just surrender? It's meaningless to continue like this."

However, Charlotte had a stubborn and competitive spirit. She kept her eyes fixed on her phone screen and said, "You haven't killed me yet."

Jennifer let out a cold laugh.

She believed Charlotte was merely struggling in a losing battle.

Seeing that Charlotte's hero was almost dead, Jennifer made a bold move. She used her Flash ability and cast a skill to try to secure a kill. But Jennifer never thought that Charlotte would use her third skill to flash behind a wall, evading Jennifer's attack. Jennifer's skill missed, and her Flash was on cooldown. She muttered, "damn it," and desperately swiped her screen to escape, but it was too late. The damage from the turret was too high, and she hadn't left the turret's range yet. The system displayed the kill notification.

Jennifer looked at Charlotte in astonishment. Charlotte, who had flashed over the wall, had even used her first skill to secure the kill. The system credited the killing to her.

Charlotte let out a sigh, put down her phone, and looked at Jennifer, saying, "Thank you for being merciful."

Jennifer, "..."

Warren's expression didn't look too good as he called, "Jennifer?"

Jennifer forced a smile, "I had a lapse of concentration in the game."

Declan looked as if it was he who had won, saying, "Your words are quite amusing. You lost! Just admit it! Stop making excuses."

He looked at Warren, "We won, so tell your people to back off."

Warren tossed the sunflower seed shells from his hand and glared at Jennifer, calling her trash.

Jennifer clenched her teeth and didn't dare speak.

Warren turned to Charlotte and asked, "Miss, are you really this reluctant to stay and play with me for a while?"

Charlotte wrinkled her small face and replied, "I told you that I want to go home."

Warren's face turned cold, and he took two steps back, saying, "Break the legs of these two nuisances and throw them out." It was clear that he had no intention of keeping his promise.

His gang, who had formed a circle, immediately responded and rushed towards Michael and Declan.

Charlotte was startled, and Michael casually pushed her to the back, saying, "Find a place to hide."

Charlotte looked at him with a pleading expression, "Can I call the police?"

"..." Michael said, "They must have colluded with the local police; otherwise, how dare they be this audacious? Hide yourself."

Charlotte replied with an "Oh."

She crouched behind an arcade machine, peering out from the edge, and witnessed Declan smashing someone's head onto the ground in a casual yet brutal manner.

Meanwhile, Michael fought in a way that didn't match his age. It was clear that he had some experience in combat sports, and he had a way of targeting vulnerable areas. His level of brutality was no less than Declan's.

Charlotte thought to herself, "These two are truly scary."

But there were just too many of Warren's gang and outnumbered opponents were hard to deal with after all. So Charlotte took out her phone and contemplated calling Nelson. Just then, another group of people rushed into the arcade, each holding a baseball bat. When Michael saw them, he immediately shouted, "Over here! Let's beat up these trashes!"

Charlotte could only watch the once peaceful arcade turn into a "battleground".

Warren's people were thugs and fought fiercely, but the reinforcements that Michael had called were not weak either. The two sides engaged in a brutal fight with cries and shouts, making the place a chaotic spectacle.

The brawl lasted for about half an hour, ending with Michael and Declan's victory.

Michael stepped on Warren's chest, looking down at him with disdain, "Remember to open your eyes wide next time. Some people are not to be messed with. Did you get it?"

Warren, beaten and bruised, had lost his earlier arrogance. He was afraid that Michael might kick him again and hastily said, "Got it! Got it!"

Michael released his foot and said, "Get lost."

Warren hastily got up and left.

After seeing that, his gang members left too.

Jennifer looked around, unwillingly gritted her teeth, and also ran away.

Michael greeted the people who came to support him and told them to go have a good meal.

Declan had a bruise on his forehead, and Charlotte wanted to tend to it, but Declan refused, saying, "Scars are a man's badge! Haven't you heard a saying?"

Charlotte looked puzzled, "What?"

"A man with a scar on his face is definitely not an ordinary man."

Charlotte, "..."

After exchanging a few earnest words with his comrades, Michael picked up a small basket filled with game tokens and shook it. "Want to keep playing?"

Charlotte nodded, "Yes!"

Declan was excited, "Then let's continue the racing game! I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

Charlotte, however, said seriously, "But I want to play the claw machine. Do you want to compete with me in that?"

Declan said nothing and thought inwardly, "Sorry, I admit defeat. Goodbye."

In the end, Charlotte caught three stuffed animals. After thinking for a while, she gave the dinosaur pajama-wearing duck to Declan, the Peppa Pig to Michael, and kept a cute, sleepy tiger for herself.
