"Jessica, promise me not to be so reckless with strangers in the future."

took out the aura of being an older brother, Ivan admonished.

It's not that I think these two men in black are bad guys, but Jessica's ability to talk to people casually makes Ivan a little uneasy.

Even if you can't meet the kind of bad people on the surface, if you know some bad people because of this, you may be manipulated or led astray.

Jessica felt Ivan tugging at her arm and stopped.

"Fan, I know there's bad people here, it's just... It makes me so curious. ”

"Think about it, if you ask them, they will definitely not bother to pay attention to a little girl, and they may make up something to fool you." Ivan said.

"Hmm~Okay, that's right~"

...

Gym.

The scale is average, the equipment is not complete, but it is the only one in the vicinity, even if it has the defect of being in a remote location, but the number of people who come to this fitness gradually increased under the vigorous publicity of the owner Carl Lucas.

Since there are gangs in the vicinity, many of the people who come here to exercise are gangsters, but fortunately, Lucas himself is a gang member and is famous, but few people dare to make trouble with him.

Lucas saw Ivan coming, put down the dumbbell in his hand and nodded to him, Ivan often comes here, and the two are already acquainted.

He just casually recommended it to this kid at first, but he never expected Ivan to be so persevering, and he rarely missed a day of fitness.

"I'm going to play on the treadmill, Fan." Jessica said as she walked towards the treadmill to the north.

And when Ivan nodded in response, he saw a man in Jessica's direction.

Dark skin, pink head, familiar faces...

This is the irascible thug named Beck who advocated not letting Cullen go in the abandoned warehouse at that time!

Baker was looking at Ivan with his mouth open at this time, and Ivan immediately met his gaze as soon as he saw the two of them.

'Oo' 'Oo', Baker involuntarily took two steps back, then he took a deep breath, smiled awkwardly, and greeted, "Hello..."

Ivan glanced at Jessica, who was exercising on the treadmill, and then walked towards Baker.

"That's... You didn't bother Karen with it, did you? Upon approaching, Ivan asked Baker that he knew that the man was against the white man letting Cullen go easily.

Baker was slightly stunned, and then said, "Actually, I want to say I'm sorry, I won't trouble you again in the future." ”

"Trouble me?"

"Can you tell me where your three friends are hidden? I can... Ransom with money. ”

Although the person he was talking to was only a high school student, Baker kept his tone down and spoke carefully.

All he knew was that he had sent three people to teach the boy a lesson, and as a result, the three had never heard from him and never returned.

Baker was the one who had seen Ivan's appearance at the time, and when he saw Ivan at the moment, he thought that this was a super boy, and Ivan stared at him, he was completely stunned.

After Baker said this, Ivan immediately reacted, it turned out that the three people were not looking for trouble with Angel, the real purpose was to find trouble for themselves, that is, at the behest of this Baker.

Seeing that Ivan didn't speak, Baker cautiously asked, "They... Are you okay? ”

"Not good." Ivan said lightly.

"It's... Where are they? Baker asked again.

He was furious in his heart, but he had to solve this matter, and his head gave him an order yesterday to fill the pit he dug himself, and he wanted someone from the super boy.

But he was afraid, and he still hesitated to this day.

In the end, reality found him.

Seeing that Ivan didn't speak, Baker took out fifty dollars from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.

"By the way, take this, just be..."

He didn't say any more, for the fifty dollars in his hand turned into grains of ash, which dissipated with a sudden breeze.

His hands were frozen in mid-air, still holding the gesture of handing over the money, but there was nothing left in his hands.

"The money you handed over was dirty." Ivan said without a wave.

Baker felt his heart beating, is this a superpower?

At the same time his face turned red, and he felt insulted.

He reluctantly laughed: "Don't be like this, I, I know I'm wrong, I..."

"Hey! Every. Jessica trotted over with two cans of Coke, she handed Ivan one, wiped her sweat and asked, "Are you friends?" ”

When she saw Ivan standing here chatting with the pink-haired man, she thought the two knew each other.

"Hmm," Ivan took the Coke and let out a casual 'um'.

"Well, this can is for you, I'll go to the vending machine and buy another can."

Jessica handed Baker her jar.

"Thank you! Little girl! ”

Baker took the Coke with a smile, and he tried to make himself smile as softly as he could.

He could see that the girl was on good terms with Ivan.

"I'll continue~"

Jessica walked towards the pull-back exercise machine, she had told Ivan before that she mainly practiced back exercises in the gym, which would make her body line look good.

"You have a good relationship, and she even came to bring you Coke." Baker tried to find a topic.

As he spoke, he pulled the can of Coke, and as soon as he opened the Coke, the soda inside sprayed him all over the face, and it was sprayed continuously!

When he wiped the Coke off his face, he found that there was no drink in the jar, not a single drop.

He raised his head and realized that it was Ivan who had messed with him, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he glared at Ivan...

But it was only two seconds before he relented after meeting Ivan's eyes.

It's just a high school student, it's really hard to deal with... He cursed inwardly.

"What's wrong?" Ivan asked.

"If you don't think I've given you enough, I'll have it—" Baker said angrily, pulling into his trouser pocket as he spoke.

Finally, he took out a hand of ash.

He was stunned, and all the money in his trouser pocket was gone.

The numbness of his fingers, as if he was about to lose consciousness, his body straightened back, and he almost fell backwards.

In the end, he still stabilized his body, even if he was angry, he dared not speak.

Baker tried his best to calm his anger, his nostrils bubbling out, and even if he tried to pretend not to be angry, his eyes betrayed him completely.

"What do you want... You... What do you need to release someone? Baker held on to the fitness machine beside him, his arm trembling with anger.

"Stripped naked to the playground after Townsend Harris, three laps, and shouted that I was a pervert while running."

"How is that possible!"

Baker couldn't help but roar, causing others to turn their heads.

"Be quiet, this isn't your home." Lucas happened to be passing by and pointed to Baker as a reminder.

Baker froze.

After Lucas walked away, Ivan said softly.

"There's no one in the school now, I'm going to run sooner or later anyway, it's not too embarrassing to run now, as long as I do it, I'll release them."

"Why, why are you messing with me like this?" Baker gritted his teeth.

"Because you like to mess with others, it's not natural to pay a price."
