Joyce felt her forehead. This child was indeed smart and knew way too much than he should.
She felt overwhelmed and had a hard time dealing with him.
"Don't talk nonsense.”
“Remember what I just said! Mom is now calling Uncle Kane to see if he's arrived at the airport yet."
The plane arrived much earlier today and her assistant, Kane Roberts, had not yet arrived at the airport.
She took out her cell phone, ready to call.
Not far away, a sneaky man saw Joyce crouching and talking to Anderson, with suitcases and handbags behind him.
He suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Joyce's wrist bag, and ran.
"A thief!" Someone around shouted out loud.
Joyce was startled and instinctively stood up and turned around to chase the man who had taken her bag.
She had an important hard drive in her bag. Although she had backups in the cloud, it would be troublesome if the originals were leaked out.
Anderson, on the other hand, stood calmly in place.
From his own pocket, he pulled out the mechanical slingshot he had been hiding and slowly loaded the marbles onto it.
He pulled the sting back and narrowed his eyes to aim.
"Swoosh!”
The marbles shot straight out and hit the man who had stolen the bag straight in the head.
Slingshot was indeed quite powerful.
"Ouch."
The man screamed in pain.
Immediately afterwards, the next marble hit him straight in the knee.
"Flop!" He fell to his knees softly, and the pain was too severe for him to get up.
At this time, the airport security arrived. Several of them gathered around the man and instantly subdued him.
