Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 714: Bitchy Peter Crispin

The two were evenly matched in strength and were initially cautious due to being in Tina's research facility, where exerting too much force was frowned upon. However, as they continued, they became increasingly engrossed, seemingly deaf to any sound other than their own voices.

Hayden was almost frantic with worry. He glanced at Tina, who remained silent, and at Jared, who watched with interest, and couldn't help but mentally light a candle for Wraith and his crew. "Don't say I didn't try to help you. But really, you're useless!"

"Hey, Husky, what's going on? Why are they fighting?"

Courtney asked, detached as if she were merely a spectator. Overhearing Hayden muttering beside her, she poked him and asked, "Weren't you supposed to be with Paula? Why are you here?" Hayden bristled at the nickname.

"I told you not to call me Husky! And what do you mean by that? I'm not sold to the White family. Can't I step out for some air?"

He snorted, "If you want to know, I won't tell you!"

Tina and Jared gave him a lukewarm look. Like a dog warned by its owner, Courtney even thought she heard Hayden whimper, "I'll tell you, I swear, this has nothing to do with me!"

"Get to the point," Tina said, massaging her temples. Hayden, the chatterbox, could talk forever.

"Alright," Hayden sighed, "the point is, I came to the lab to get something. As soon as I arrived, I heard Peter arguing with Lockie."

In the grand scheme of things, it was trivial. Peter Crispin, following Tina's instructions to keep an eye on Wraith, had not been on a mission for a while. Feeling restless, he had tried to negotiate with Wraith. "Are you bored?"

Hearing the plump kid once again scheming to trade him for a bounty, suggesting that for the sake of long-term planning he would let himself be captured, Wraith was incredulous. Who would believe such nonsense?

Wraith, finally finding something to occupy himself with by researching Natalie's work, was not about to leave with Peter anytime soon. He coldly retorted, and Peter, stubborn, insisted, "I am indeed very bored, and Serena asked me to watch you to prevent any mischief!"

Despite sounding almost delusional, Peter wouldn't relent. Since Tina's mother and her project were there, he was unlikely to escape. However, Wraith, preoccupied with his research subjects, had no intention of leaving, yet Peter persisted. Eventually, the two came to blows.
