Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 127

Adam looked at Owen as though he were an idiot. Owen was being used, but he became a willing party.

"Fannie, I don't have time for this now. If you want to continue staying in Lisle, I suggest you cut it out," said Adam coldly.

From the looks of it, he had to do something about Fannie. Otherwise, she would never give up. Fannie rolled her eyes completely unafraid.

Owen raised his brow as he said in annoyance, "Please watch what you say to Fannie. If you are rude, I'll fight you whether you like it or not. Also, your physique looks just like the man in black. I really want to test Fannie's theory, so I'd like to exchange some pointers with you."

Adam raised his brow and said angrily, "Leave me alone."

Adam could not be bothered with Fannie and Owen. Since Gemma was still seeing the doctor, he could only wait.

Owen flushed in embarrassment when Adam refused to fight him. He was stuck in the middle and did not know what to do. He looked at Fannie awkwardly. "Fannie, are you sure? He doesn't even dare to fight me. Are you sure he's the guy?" Fannie said with a serious look on her face, "I'm positive. He doesn't want people to know his true identity, so he refuses to fight you."

She was clearly implying something with her last sentence.

Owen said powerlessly, "What else can I do if he refuses to accept my challenge?"

Annoyed, Fannie instantly retorted, "Can't you take more initiative?"

Owen shook his head and replied solemnly, "That doesn't sound right. How can I attack him when he's not looking?"

Fannie was rendered speechless.

"You are hopeless. Get out of my way."

Owen explained patiently, "Fannie, this is wrong. It's wrong to do so in the martial arts world. Since you don't run in the martial arts circle, you don't get it."

Owen is the real fool!

Adam contemplated. Even though the young woman looked harmless and adorable, she was in charge of the Swindlers' Guild, so she was far more experienced than Owen.

Even so, Adam had a good impression of Owen.

Owen might seem old-fashioned and stood out like a sore thumb, but he was a chivalrous young man. Society needed more people like him.

Before long, the doctor was done attending to Gemma's injuries and she came out of the treatment room.

Adam left with Gemma quickly. After he was gone, Fannie's phone rang. When she glanced at the caller ID, a serious look emerged on her face. She promptly walked over to the stairwell with her phone.

Fannie checked her surroundings, and after making sure there was no one within earshot answered the phone.

"Any results?" asked an old and deep voice.

Fannie replied softly, "The target is very cautious, so I did not succeed."

"Get it done asap."

Fannie heaved a sigh of relief when the phone hung up. Despite the brief conversation, her forehead was layered with sweat.

Meanwhile, at a martial arts center in Lisle.

Dozens of beefy men were sparring inside a spacious training facility on the ground floor.

A woman dressed in a green jacket gradually walked into the hall and asked coolly, "Do any of you go by Drake?"

The beefy men halted, turned to look, and their eyes instantly lit up.

The woman was gorgeous. She was far more beautiful than any of the celebrities seen on the television even though the celebrities were exquisitely made up and filters were used. She was not wearing any makeup at all, and she had lovely eyes. Also, she had a cool aura. She was nothing short of a fairy.

The beefy men could not resist swallowing their saliva nervously and instinctively felt attracted to her.

"Yeah. Are you looking for someone?" said one of the beefy men. He clenched his fists and raised his arms slightly to show off his muscles and struck a pose. His biceps bulged instantly.

Men were attracted to beautiful women, but it worked both ways, women were attracted to men with hot bodies as well. The beefy man was very confident about his physique since he had used it several times and succeeded in bedding his targets. The move was tried and tested and worked like a charm all the time!

Sure enough, the woman took a second look at him. Even though it was nearly imperceptible, he caught it.

All women are the same.

The beefy man was confident he had succeeded in getting her attention. If he worked a little harder, the woman was his. She might be pretty, but he would end up fucking her anyway. Just the thought of screwing her gave him a hard-on.

The woman asked, "Is there really someone from the Drake family here? Can you ask him to come over? I'd like to spar with him."

The beefy man's eyes lit up as he chuckled within.

Does she want to spar? It's the perfect opportunity to show off.

The beefy man suppressed his joy, smiled, and said, "Oh really? It seems I'm the man you're looking for. I'm from the Drake family."

"Is that so?" The woman raised her brow. "What's your name?"

The beefy man raised his chin and said proudly, "Adam Drake."

The other beefy men behind him cursed in their hearts.

Tony Alvarez is simply shameless. How could he change his name in order to hit on the woman?

The other beefy man instantly felt annoyed. The woman was so gorgeous that people would kill to get her, let alone change their names. Unfortunately, they had been preoccupied with gawking at her, so Tony had beaten them to it. From the looks of it, they would not have the opportunity to impress the girl, so she was his.

The other beefy men kept cursing hoping he would have erectile dysfunction, but they could only watch as he lied to the woman through his teeth.

The woman frowned and said, "Are you Adam Drake? Do you know how to use the Dragon-Snake Switch?"

Dragon-Snake Switch? Is it some kind of martial arts technique?

The woman nodded and wasted no time. "Let's begin."

Tony placed his hands behind him, shook his head, and like a gentleman said, "Ladies first."

The woman frowned. She hesitated for a split second before she jumped and instantly appeared in front of Tony.

She is so fast!

Tony was startled. He automatically raised his hands to defend himself.

The woman attacked him on the chest. Tony was in so much pain that it felt as though she had shattered his sternum.

He flew through the air before he finally stopped over ten meters away.

All the beefy men watched in astonishment before staring at the woman, awestruck.

The woman frowned and said, "What a joke. Why didn't you use the Dragon-Snake Switch?"

Tony stood up, his face crimson. He said awkwardly, "I made a mistake. Let's do it again."

Even before he could finish his sentence, the woman had darted in front of him and attacked him again.

Tony flew out yet again. This time, he flew even faster and further than before as blood spewed from his mouth drawing a red arc in the air.

The woman shook her head disappointedly and said coolly, "Is there anyone else from the Drake family here? Why don't you just attack me together?"

-

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city.

After leaving the hospital, Adam took Gemma home.

When they got upstairs, they were puzzled to see a haggard-looking woman sitting at the door. Her hair was messy and oily, and her clothes were very dirty. It seemed as though she was a vagabond. Gemma frowned angrily. "Get up. Who are you? Why are you sitting in front of my..."

Before Gemma could finish her sentence, the unknown woman suddenly raised her head.

Gemma was startled and swallowed her words mid-sentence. "Amanda? Is it really you? What happened to you?"

Adam looked at the woman. It was Katie's aunt, Amanda.
