Everyone went down on their knees and pressed their foreheads against the ground. It was as if they were looking at Satan, who controlled their fates.

Adie stood on his tiptoes and knocked on the window. He was frowning, and he seemed to be a little angry.

After a while, the car�s window slowly wound down.

�Are you the boss of Carmine Pawnshop?� Adie asked.

The man smiled coldly. The sunglasses nearly covered half of his face, but they couldn�t conceal the cold vibe he gave off.

�Are you Aiden Everheart?� The man asked calmly in a deep voice.

�That�s right. I am indeed Aiden Everheart. You can call me Adie.� Adie stood upright and continued talking. �You should speak to me after getting out of the car. This is basic courtesy.�

The man couldn�t resist raising his brows. �What if I refuse?�

�In that case, we can�t be friends. I won�t introduce you to my Mommy either. She said I shouldn�t be friends with impolite people.�

The man remained silent for a while. He actually opened the door and got out of the car.

Towering over six feet, with the black windbreaker on, he had a quietly mysterious and domineering aura.

The one-eyed man carefully looked up. He instantly felt intimidated by the man�s imposing manner. �I�m sorry for trying to steal what belongs to you� Please forgive me, Mr. Q! Please!�

He now believed that what Adie said was true. Mr. Q really did specifically ask for Adie.

Nobody in Water Dock dared to offend Mr. Q, and everybody obeyed him. The one-eyed man was doomed this time!

Mr. Q ignored the one-eyed man and turned to look at Adie instead. He reached out to shake the kid�s hand. �Can we be friends now?�

Adie stroked his chin and furrowed his brows as he seriously contemplated the matter for a while, looking just like a tiny grown-up.

When he was done thinking, he tiptoed and held out a hand for Mr. Q to shake, solemnly telling him, �Since you�re repentant of your mistakes, then we can be friends. A pleasure to meet you. Your guidance will be much appreciated.�

The man�s frozen lips arched up ever so slightly without him noticing it. He even bent down his body involuntarily so that he could get closer to the kid.

�Pleasure to meet you too,� he replied in a deep voice. �Your guidance will be much appreciated as well.�

Adie was outstandingly tall for a four-year-old boy, but standing in front of a man who was well over six feet tall still made him look tiny in comparison, as he was not even as tall as the man�s long legs. Yet the sight of them together standing side by side made such a comical contrast that they looked inexplicably cute together. JrNovels.com
