Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1125

Seeing that the apartment was not very far away, the driver nodded and said, "You should be careful. Don't talk to strangers."

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Sir!" Tommy smiled sweetly and skipped toward the apartment.

After the driver left, he stopped skipping and began to frown.

He was very far away from Crawford Manor now, but he did not know where he should go.

"Sigh." Tommy frowned and looked at the budget hotel nearby. Should he stay there for a few days?

Tommy walked toward the hotel. It was better to stay there than to stay out in the open.

A short while later, Tommy walked out of the hotel dejectedly. He was too young and had no ID, so the hotel staff did not allow him to check in no matter how much money he gave them. They even said that they would bring him to the police station.

He knew that he had to stay away from the hotel as far as possible, and he turned a corner into a narrow alley in case someone was following him.

Several hooligans were smoking in the narrow alley. They exchanged glances when they saw Tommy running into the alley, and they immediately surrounded him.

"Hey, kid."

Tommy lifted his head and looked at the hooligans. "Can I help you?"

"Why are you running so hurriedly? Did you do something bad and the police are coming to arrest you?" A plump hooligan asked.

"Yes, baddies are chasing me," Tommy said and shuddered.

The people surrounding him did not look like good people. How was he going to run away? Luke might have hired a taekwondo instructor for him, but he was not strong or skilled enough to fight off even one of them. Now, there were so many…

"Don't worry, we'll protect you, but…" The plump hooligan and his friend chuckled. The boy was dirty and disheveled, but they could discern the brand of his clothing.

They could tell that the boy was the son of a wealthy man.

"But what?" The gears in Tommy's head spun at record speeds. He was thinking of how he could shake off those people.

"But you'll have to give us something in return. Protection isn't free after all. You look like you're from a wealthy family, kid. You must get a lot of pocket money from your parents, right?" The plump hooligan glanced at Tommy's backpack and thought that it must be stuffed with money.

As stingy a wealthy person might be, they would not be stingy toward their children.

"I don't have money!" Tommy knew what the hooligans wanted, so he denied it and began to cry. "My family is very, very poor."

"That can't be." The plump hooligan did not believe him.

A thin hooligan said impatiently, "We don't have to waste our time on him. Just snatch his backpack."

When Tommy heard that, he immediately grabbed the two shoulder straps of the backpack. He absolutely could not let the hooligans lay their hands on his money. If they did, his plan would fail!

Seeing how nervous Tommy was, the plump hooligan cackled and reached to grab his backpack.

"Help! Help!" Tommy screamed loudly.

"Shut up!" The thin hooligan immediately covered Tommy's mouth in case his screams attracted the attention of other people.

Tommy opened his mouth and bit the thin hooligan's hand.

"Argh! How dare you bite me, you damned brat!" The thin hooligan raised his hand and prepared to slap Tommy's face.

Tommy nimbly dodged the attack and tried to escape from between their legs. "Help! Help!"

They were very interested in that woman's body.

"It doesn't pay to bully a defenseless child either. It's either you apologize to him and get lost now, or all of you can fight me at once." Luca clasped her hands together and began to crack her knuckles.

"Tsk, you think too highly of yourself," the thin hooligan said viciously and spat on the floor. "Someone go and keep an eye on that kid. Today, I want both money and her life."

The plump hooligan volunteered to grab hold of Tommy. That was the easiest task because he was not as nimble as the others.

"You asked for it." Luca's expression turned serious.

"You're the one who's asking for it. If you surrender now, I might make what happens next comfortable for you. Otherwise…"

Before the thin hooligan could finish the sentence, Luca lunged forward and punched his face.

Wham! The thin hooligan instantly fell on the ground.

"Ahh!" The plump hooligan shrieked in shock. How did that woman knock out the six-foot-two man in one punch?

Luca did not give the other hooligans the time to react. She swiftly took down the other hooligans.

The hooligans sprawled on the ground. They wanted to curse, but their faces were swollen and they could not say anything.

"And you!" Luca looked away, but her finger was firmly pointed in the plump hooligan's direction.

The plump hooligan's knees went weak. He fell down with a plop and said, "Please spare me!"

Tommy regained his freedom. He ran toward Luca and hid behind her. "You're amazing!"
