Chapter 339 - Its alright, its alright (1/2)
Seraphina wanted to cover the homeless man's loud mouth alas, it was too late as her pursuers' attention was already caught.
”Haha, young girl, you ran fast.” One of the gangsters uttered with his maniac tone as he panting for air.
”Don't make this difficult for us,” the other man with an oversized shirt and baggy pants commented.
”W-why?! I didn't do anything to you!” Seraphina staggered as she stepped back.
”But you saw something you shouldn't.” The first one who spoke earlier answered.
”Saw something I shouldn't? I have a 300 odd eye grade, I have poor vision so I didn't see anything!” Yet, Seraphina blurted out a blatant lie. She remained adamant to not confess, no matter what even though she knew it won't change anything.
”We are not born yesterday!” The man bellowed, obviously annoyed by Seraphina's transparent lie. He began taking huge treads towards Seraphina, alas, his steps halted when a loud shout from the deranged homeless man rang in their ears once again.
”Waaaaaaaah!”
Everyone including Seraphina covered their ears by the loud scream from the homeless, bearded man. Its as if the man was shouting just in front of their ears -- that only indicates how death-defying the volumes of his vocal cords.
Shortly after he screamed, he added in an antagonized tone, ”I SAID, HOW DARE YOU DISTURBED MY SLEEP!”
”Hey, beat that crazy motherf*cker until he can no longer talk!” The man who seemed to be the commando of Seraphina's pursuers ordered; irritated and cautious that someone might see them.
”Great! Just great! Don't we speak the same language, ha? I said, who are you to disturb my sleep?!” The homeless man finally lowered his voice but then again, he still insisted to asked the same question again.
Hearing the homeless man talk, the corners of Seraphina's lips twitch. 'Does he think he's an emperor or something? This is not his bedroom for Pete's sake!'
”Shut up! This place is meant to be disturbed!” The man retorted back and instead of facing Seraphina, he was sidetracked and his attention was diverted to the homeless man.
Seraphina held her breath and glanced at the surrounding to find an opening for an escape but to no avail, it would be impossible for her to as the people who chased after her were approximately six hoodlums. Thus, the other men were just there as the lookout.
She grinds her teeth as she somehow turning desperate on her situation. Fortunately, there's a mental person in there to bid her some time. Alas, it was also her lack of luck to turn in this alley where a person whose vocal cords had such magnitude.
As the leader reached the homeless man, he grabbed him by the collar and lifted him high, few inches from the ground.
”You! Who do you think you are?” The gangster man growled in a low manner but instead of fear, Seraphina saw the homeless man grinned behind his thick beard.
