Chapter 286
Chapter 286
Let alone what kind of reaction Redemption would have if it received Robb's sincere reply.
For the sake of all mankind, Robb, who had already contributed his own strength, put away his phone with peace of mind and took the cup of coffee made by Jess.
"Thank you."
After the extreme pull, Robb, who was feeling mentally exhausted, really needed to cheer up.
"I should do it. Without you, Robb, I'm afraid I would never get out again." Recalling the previous experience in the long underground corridor that seemed to lead directly to hell, even though she was now safe, Jess still couldn't help but feel scared.
She didn't know why she had been obsessed and kept walking down just now, even though she was aware of the danger.
Robb took a sip of coffee, letting the bitterness flow through his mouth, and then shook his head, but didn't take credit, and said honestly: "If it weren't for me, Jess, you might not have encountered what just now."
The supernatural is like a radiation source, and sparks always come out when they meet each other.
Jess's family often haunted the basement before, and there was no change.
As soon as Robb arrived, he attracted the attention of Blackwater, and even in the confrontation with him, he was unknowingly attracted to the Mobbit Corridor.
This is the principle.
Seriously speaking, it was Jess who was implicated by Robb.
She insisted on entering the Mobbit Corridor because she saw that Robb was in danger.
"They are there, it's just a matter of time." Jess, who has the courage of an American girl but not her silly personality, shook her head, "Without Robb, I and my family would probably suffer misfortune. I..."
Jess blushed and didn't say anything else. She mustered up her courage and stretched out her little hand, grabbing Robb's slender and powerful palm who had put down the coffee cup, and tightened it tightly, unwilling to let go.
A hero saves a beauty, a girl in love, nothing more than this.
When Robb looked over, Jess, who was in urgent need of expressing her true feelings, had leaned forward even further. A small face without any makeup, but with collagen representing everything, appeared in front of him.
Seeing the two thin light-colored lips getting closer and closer, Robb, as a good man, would naturally not hurt a girl's heart.
Bang!
A loud gunshot suddenly came from outside the house.
Robb's eyes fixed, and he quickly retracted his palm and looked outside.
Jess was also awakened from the sweet atmosphere at this time, and hurriedly got up to tidy up everything on her body, and said to Robb: "It should be Uncle John who is shooting. Dad and the others are back."
"Uncle John?" Robb asked.
Jess lifted her jeans, covered them with a white piece, and quickly explained: "Dad hired an assistant. There are too many crows in the farmland, and it is useless to erect scarecrows. Only Uncle John's gunshots can scare them away."
"Indeed, there are too many crows in your house."
Thinking of the crows in the sky when he came before, and they were not even afraid of people, Robb nodded.
Soon, the second gunshot sounded again.
Accompanied by the sound of a large number of crows flapping their wings, the footsteps of Jess's parents were getting closer and closer.
"How is it? Am I okay now?" Jess first checked herself, and then asked Robb.
Compared with the experienced Robb, Jess was still in a hurry to deal with emergencies.
After all, this is the living room, not her bedroom.
This is the first time she brought a boy home.
Uh,... I can't say it's brought, Robb came on his own initiative.
But the nature is similar after all.
Facing the sudden "room inspection" of her parents, Jess's first reaction was naturally to cover up.
"Jess, we're back!"
At this time, the voice of Roy, Jess's father, came from outside the house.
Faced with Jess's question, Robb nodded: "Everything is perfect."
Jess was relieved.
She quickly gave Robb a kiss, then walked to the door quickly, opened the door, and welcomed the family back.
"Hey, Mom, Dad, and Ben."
"Hey, Jess. Is your family okay these days?"
"Of course... Oh, by the way! There's a guest at home."
"Guest?"
......
Hearing his daughter say that there was a guest, Roy, dressed in work clothes, and his wife Denise, who was holding their youngest son Ben, came to the living room and saw Robb, who had been waiting for a long time.
Rob stood up and said to the two: "Mr. Roy, Mrs. Denise, I'm Robb, and I'm glad to meet you two."
After all, he was about to eat someone's baby daughter, so it was necessary to say hello politely.
Roy and Denise looked at each other, and neither of them knew where Robb came from.
But the former still extended his hand and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Robb."
"What can I do for you?"
Roy was a straightforward person, and he got straight to the point in the next sentence.Robb nodded: "Mr. Roy, you should know this. Previously, the bank employee Price offered you a 15% premium to buy the farm in advance. This is also the purpose of my visit this time."
"Price..." Roy thought of the man in a suit at the time, and his face changed slightly.
Before he could say anything, his wife Denise beside him said puzzledly: "Wait! What is a 15% premium?"
Rob explained casually.
Denise's face sank, looking at her husband and said: "Roy, why didn't you mention this to me?"
Roy felt a little guilty: "We had already settled down at that time, and I didn't want to cause any more trouble."
"You should have explained this to me." Denise was very dissatisfied, "If the premium was 15%, we could have..."
Obviously, Roy was completely stubborn in refusing to sell at the time, and he didn't tell his wife.
Seeing that the originally harmonious family began to develop a trend of quarreling because of his words.
Robb quickly stopped them and said, "You two, it's not too late to sell it now."
"No!"
Without waiting for Denise to respond, Roy quickly stood up and said firmly.
