Chapter 105 (Mill Sail Town Drama) I Hope Ada is Happy
The commotion here had already alarmed the neighbors, and everyone didn't even bother to get dressed to run to the entrance of the small courtyard to see what was going on.
And in the room, Penny has already climbed out of bed, a little bit moving her little feet, came to Saul's side, her face is not as desperate as her brother's emotion.
Penny touched Saul's knee and gently shook his leg.
"Brother Saul."
"I am."
"Are they taking Penny away?"
"Yes, and your brother shouldn't be able to stop them."
"Then, brother Saul," Penny raised her little face, not much in the way of fear, "is Penny going to die when they take her away."
"Something like that, are you scared?"
"Actually, dying isn't that scary. Brother Saul ..."
"Hmm?"
"Since Penny is going to die, the eye won't be useful, so take it away, Brother Saul."
Saul gazed at Penny and couldn't help but laugh softly, raising his hand and rubbing Penny's head.
"Brother Saul I'm not someone who takes your things for nothing, say it, what other wishes?"
Penny raised her hand to touch the top of her head with an innocent face, this was the first time someone had rubbed her head.
"I wish ...," Penny said with little hesitation, "Ada can live happier in the future."
Sol froze and looked at little Penny, expecting her to say she didn't want to die or something.
"Got it." Saul said softly, "Now, tilt your head back and keep your eyes open, it's going to hurt a little."
Outside the door, Ada was still making a last ditch effort, and Captain Jeff wasn't immediately violent.
It had always been his way over the years; rather than take the girl outright violently, he would otherwise let her family give up voluntarily under siege from the townspeople.
In this way, when they dreamed back at midnight, it would also be good to comfort themselves that they had sacrificed their child for the sake of the town's general interests.
Outside the door, someone had indeed started to persuade Ada.
The only reasons they used were "the town took you in", "you can live peacefully in the town in the future", "you can't be ungrateful", and so on.
Aunt Jenny, who has always loved to join in the fun, appeared at the door of the small courtyard, she slowly walked in, and the moment she spoke, she made Ada, who had been insisting on blocking the door, break down her defenses.
"Ada, you let Captain Jeff take Penny away. You've been in Mill Sail Town for so many years, and you have no intention of taking Penny away, aren't you just prepared for the day when Penny will be taken away as well?"
Ada, who had just been full of toughness, looked up incredulously, "Aunt Jenny!"
Jenny laughed softly, "Otherwise you should have left a long time ago, aren't you just coveting the peace and prosperity of Mill Sail Town? In the face of such a life, it's acceptable to take a little risk with your own sister, isn't it?"
Ada's shoulders collapsed at once, and he shook his head with a devastated expression, "No, it's not."
Captain Jeff glanced at the sky, this Ada was unexpectedly difficult to deal with, and neither the Sorcerer Lord nor the Mayor could make it today ...
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him rushed forward and decided to go for the grab.
Over the years, they had also encountered tough people, and if they didn't have the time, they could snatch the person first and then comfort them properly.
As soon as Ada saw that the soldiers were going to rush up, he quickly ran to the door of the house and put his hands and feet dead against the door frame.
"No, I won't let you take Penny."
The soldier, who cared about an unarmed teenager, was about to open the door with his fists.
At that moment a man suddenly rushed out from behind the soldier and stepped right in between Ada and the soldier.
It was Jaycee.
He was holding a long knife, identical to the one hanging from Jeff's waist.
"Hey Ada, can you save Penny with that, when it matters, you still need to take up arms like me."
"Jaycee?" How could Ada not expect that in the most critical moment, it was actually Jayce, whom he had always looked down on and defended himself against the most, who stood up to protect Penny.
Seeing Jayce appear, Captain Jeff, who had been standing by the side, finally stepped forward.
"Jayce, this isn't your place." Jeff also drew his long sword.
"Of course I should be in charge, I won't lie, Penny is already my daughter. She calls me father, it's only natural for me to protect her." Jeff's face was a bit gloomy when he saw this.
The people in the small courtyard also stepped back, and they realized that they were afraid that a fight was really going to happen in front of them.
"You guys go and bring Penny out, and leave Jayce to me." Captain Jeff ordered in a loud voice.
Jayce naturally knew that Ada wouldn't be a match for those soldiers, and while he was careful of Jeff, he had to help Ada share most of the pressure.
But after so many years away from the military, he might not be able to handle so many people.
Seeing a bloody fight was inevitable.
"Ada, Jaycee."
"Brother, father."
Penny's low voice came from behind her.
Both of them were shocked and turned back to the house.
Penny was groping her way toward the house, her eyes, which normally stayed open, tightly closed.
And in the room, Saul was still sitting at the table, watching it all with an expressionless face.
"Penny, get back in." Ada shouted.
"Ada, take Penny and go, I'll hold them off." Jaycee, on the other hand, was trying to keep stalling.
"Brother, Dad, don't fight. Just let them take Penny away. Penny isn't afraid to die."
Ada looked at Penny incredulously, "Why, Penny?"
Instead, Jaycee grunted, "Don't pay attention to the words of a child."
He raised his long knife and charged.
The soldiers on the opposite side didn't expect him to suddenly launch an attack and could only dodge first.
And at that moment, Jeff had also arrived, and he slashed down, narrowly missing Jaycee's shoulder.
Luckily, Jayce temporarily changed his stance and withdrew his sword to cross, only then did he avoid splattering blood on the spot.
After all, he hadn't fought for many years, and when he picked up his sword, he realized that he was already old.
Ada picked up Penny, originally wanted to take the opportunity to run out of the small courtyard. But he didn't want the entrance to the courtyard to be surrounded by the town's residents long ago.
They had no intention of getting out of the way even when they saw Ada rushing over with Penny in his arms.
Ada wanted to ram people out of the way, but realized that he alone could not resist the power of so many people.
He was quickly pinned down by the soldiers who arrived behind him and snatched Penny up.
This time, the residents of the town immediately gave way.
A few soldiers grabbed Penny and were about to head out.
At this time, Penny, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Ada, brother Saul promised me that he would make you happy in the future."
As soon as these words were finished, Penny was taken out of Ada's sight.
"Penny !!!!"
Ada was still held down until Jaycee was cut down by Jeff and a couple other soldiers.
Jeff didn't hit Jayce hard, only leaving a thin knife wound in his chest.
"Jayce, your behavior has violated the town's bottom line, you are restricted to leave Mill Sail Town within three days." Captain Jeff paused and added, "Or if you are willing to change your ways and return to serve in the guards, I can still let you off the hook."
But Jayce just pressed his wounds and slowly rose from the ground, ignoring Jeff's solicitations.
Jeff shook his head and led the men away.
After the soldiers retreated, there were still surrounding neighbors who wanted to come forward to comfort Ada, but after seeing the reddened eyes of Ada staring viciously at the crowd, each of them shook their heads and backed away.
And said beautifully, "Wait until you're sensible."
