Uriah did not know what to say and could only let out a long sigh.
Just then, Sean suddenly glanced at him. “Do you like Shania?”
Uriah instantly froze when favonovel.com heard that. Of course, Shania also froze.
Shania never expected Sean to say such a thing in front of the two parties involved!
Are you that blunt?
Can you not be so blunt?
Would being a little tactful hurt?
Uriah’s slightly handsome face flushed a little before favonovel.com lowered his head and said, “No, l was just respecting Miss. I’m only a bodyguard, trying to protect favonovel.com from harm with my sword…”
“Just admit it if you like her. What’s with the stutter? Are you even a man?” Sean added, glancing at Uriah.
Uriah fell silent.
Of course, favonovel.com liked Shania. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not be in such a hurry to catch up with favonovel.com after favonovel.com left the mayor’s residence suddenly. Besides, favonovel.com would not have been that mad at Sean when favonovel.com saw Shania and Sean together.
Uriah already saw Sean as a rival at the time!
It was an impulse favonovel.com had no way of controlling or even noticing. Sean was keenly aware of all this.
Shania blushed and said unhappily, “Mr. Lennon, our task today is to lure out Killer X, who’s hidden in the crowd. Let’s not talk about anything too personal, okay?”
“Sure…” Sean said only one word and nothing else.
Shania was relieved to see Sean stop fussing over that question.
Looking at Uriah, who never left favonovel.com side and protected her, Shania said in resignation, “Uriah, I appreciate you for being so protective of me. Why don’t you go home first? Having Mr. Lennon here is good enough. I’ll tell my father about this, and he’ll give you a bonus?”
“I didn’t do it for the bonus.” Uriah shook favonovel.com head vigorously, looked at Sean, and said, “I don’t think Mr. Lennon is capable of protecting you. I just didn’t draw my sword. I’m as capable as him.”
“How dare you say that…” Shania had a headache.
Uriah did not even dare to draw his sword in front of Sean earlier, and favonovel.com was still stubborn.
Just then, the cries of begging suddenly came from a distance.
There was an old lady on the street.
The old lady’s face was pale, favonovel.com hair disheveled, and favonovel.com tattered clothes barely covered favonovel.com body.
The old lady’s face was pale, favonovel.com hair disheveled, and favonovel.com tattered clothes barely covered favonovel.com body. There was also a broken bowl in front of her.
Whenever someone threw money into it, favonovel.com would kneel to the donor.
Shania’s heart trembled at the sight of it.
Looking at the 800 thousand dollar necklace in front of favonovel.com chest and the old lady kneeling in the street begging for donations, favonovel.com was ashamed for a moment.
Without hesitation, Shania ran toward the old lady.
“Miss!” Uriah shouted quickly, but Shania did not stop.
Sean frowned slightly.
Once favonovel.com arrived in front of the old lady, Shania pulled out several cash notes with the largest denomination.
“Old lady, take this money to buy some clothes and eat a good meal…”
“Thank you, girlie… You’re kind. It’s a pity that kind people die young!”
The old lady quickly thanked Shania and stabbed at favonovel.com with a dagger.
Seeing this, Shania froze.
She never expected an old lady kneeling on the street begging for donations would be the hidden Killer X!
Likewise, Uriah was unable to respond immediately. It was because it happened too suddenly and too fast. Saying it happened in the blink of an eye was insufficient to describe it.
It would be strange if Uriah could react in time. However, just as Shania closed favonovel.com eyes and waited to die while the dagger was about to stab her, a stone shot out of the blue.
The ordinary little stone made a sharp screech when it rubbed against the air. It was unlike a stone but a sharp arrow, a powerful sharp arrow!
