Phoebe Faulkner's words were like a light drizzle, failing to capture even an ounce of Jace Lennox's attention.
With a cold expression, Jace Lennox strode onward, carrying the screaming Phoebe Faulkner over his shoulder.
Phoebe's screams didn't cause Jace Lennox to pause for even a second, but they did draw two people from their rooms nearby: Howie and Chad. One had already showered and fallen asleep, while the other had just finished showering and was about to turn in.
As a result, one wore pajamas, while the other had only a bath towel wrapped around his waist.
"What's going on?!"
As soon as Chad, dressed in his pajamas, saw Phoebe slung over the man's shoulder, all traces of sleepiness vanished. He bolted toward them, reaching out to pull Phoebe from Jace Lennox's grasp.
But Chad, who was usually invincible against thugs, was kicked hard in the stomach by Jace Lennox before he could even get close. He collapsed to his knees, his face contorting in pain.
