Chapter 1446: Happy thoughts

"Good fucking luck. You're on your own!"

Penny's response was the green light everyone had been waiting for.

And with that, Renny leaped forward to settle scores with his uncle. How dare Hugo bite him? Hadn't Hugo heard of rabies? What if Renny got it?!

Hugo, on the other hand, stopped thinking entirely—he just fled for his life. The problem was, while Hugo scrambled to escape those beastly fangs, the furniture —and everything else started toppling and breaking.

Penny's anger at her second brother faded with every crash and thud. Her mouth fell open as she watched Hugo dart around the living room while Renny accidentally knocked over everything in his path.

She pressed her lips together, ignoring how the guys at the entrance were cheering for Renny. Normally, she'd have started a betting pool. But how could she, when her second brother and Renny were turning the place upside down- while Atlas, on the couch, was muttering to himself?

"Happy thoughts..." Atlas whispered with his eyes closed, pausing as Hugo suddenly leaped over the couch he was sitting on.

Renny followed suit, jumping clean over Atlas's head.

Atlas didn't move. Nor did he care about the chaos unfolding around him.

"Happy thoughts," he murmured again, eyes still closed. "Hugo. Fat Cat. I swear, if you hit me once, you will not like it." Then, he resumed meditating, focusing on fighting off the poison in his system.

As for Slater...

Penny turned to where her third brother sat sulking in the corner of the living room, wrapped in a massive blanket.

"Huhuhu," he sniffled. "I just wanted to have dinner with my sister, and instead, I get-will you shut it?!"

Slater roared at Hugo and Renny. "Can't you see there's someone crying here?!" Then, as if resigned to the inevitability of their chaos, he went right back to sobbing.

"Get him, Renny!"

"Don't let him-damn!"

"Aim for his leg! That's a juicy leg, Renny!"

Meanwhile, the guys-who had just shoved their captains into the fight-were now cheering Renny on.

Renny abruptly stopped in front of them and they quickly fell in total silence. Then, as soon as it resumed chasing Hugo, their cheers erupted again.

Clack!

CLANG!

THUD!

BAM!
