Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 706 Cherish Life and Stay Away from Women
"Are you still denying it's you, Sadie?" Micah's voice echoed in the dimly lit street, his tone laced with a hint of amusement. "Even your pet's name is the same." He began to close the distance between them, his steps measured and deliberate. Sadie's eyes, filled with a seductive allure, met his gaze. However, her feet were inching backward, betraying her outward confidence. "We had an agreement, Micah," she reminded him, her voice playful. "If you can't catch me by this lamppost, you forfeit your chance for tonight."
Micah's response was a mere whisper, "Not yet..." His hand reached out to grab her, but his action was abruptly interrupted.
The eagle, her faithful companion, swooped down once again, effectively blocking Micah's advance. In the meantime, Sadie spun around gracefully, her back resting against the lamppost. A triumphant laugh escaped her lips, "Haha, I won!" The eagle, previously injured by Micah, let out a piercing cry. It retaliated by pecking at Micah's hand, but he was quick to react. His grip tightened around the bird's neck, threatening to end its life in the next moment. "No..." Sadie's plea was desperate, her voice echoing in the quiet street. Micah's movement stilled, and he released his hold on the bird. The eagle, now free, fluttered its wings weakly and sought refuge on Sadie's shoulder, its previous arrogance nowhere to be seen.
Sadie's fingers gently traced the bird's neck, her heart sinking at the sight of the missing tuft of feathers and the injured wing. Anger flared within her as she turned to Micah, "You have no manners, Micah!"
"I spared its life, which is already kind enough," Micah retorted, his tone nonchalant. He produced a handkerchief from his pocket, dabbing at the blood on the back of his hand with a calm demeanor.
Sadie was at a loss for words. She had initiated the encounter, and her pet had attacked first. Given Micah's temperament, sparing Coco's life was indeed an act of kindness.
Micah's warning was clear. "I let you off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time." He cast a lingering glance at Sadie before turning away, rejoining Andrew and the others.
Sadie watched his retreating figure, her fingers gently stroked Coco's wings.
Annika and the others, rushed over, their faces filled with concern. "That man has no manners, actually fighting with a pet," Annika voiced her indignation.
Sadie smirked. "If he didn't fight back, he would be the one who got hurt. Coco is not an ordinary pet!"
Annika and Arya nodded in agreement, understanding the truth in her words.
Meanwhile, Micah's companions were not satisfied with the outcome. "Mr. Clemens, is that all you're going to do?" Andrew questioned, his tone laced with disappointment. "Those women are really good at playing dirty, aren't they?" Micah's response was cold. "What else can we do, resort to violence?" Andrew and Alan fell silent, knowing they could never stoop to such a level.
Back in the room, Andrew immediately fetched the first aid kit to tend to Micah's hand. Thankfully, Micah's quick reflexes had saved him from a more severe injury. "I've heard that Tristan likes to raise fierce beasts, and it seems to be true," Andrew mused, his brow furrowed in thought. "This eagle must be the one he gave to Miss Roth, no, Miss James."
Micah warned his companions, "This eagle is untamed and extremely brutal. You all need to be careful!" Andrew sighed. "Miss Roth is really amazing. She used to have a pet tiger-striped parrot, and now she even has an eagle! She has changed like a completely different person!"
Alan found it hard to believe. "Is that really Miss Roth? She used to be so gentle, so timid, even trembled at the sight of a fight. How did she become so terrifying now?"
Andrew cryptically reminded them, "When a woman turns ruthless, she's even more brutal than an eagle. Remember, stay away from women in the future!"
Alan nodded in agreement, his previous encounters with the female bodyguards of the James family had left a lasting impression. He now viewed women as terrifying as eagles, creatures to be kept at a distance...
