Next One Is a Babe Chapter 709

Chapter 709John came downstairs and turned to Matilda. “I’m not sure when I’ll be back tonight, so lock the
windows and doors carefully.”
“Don’t worry,” she assured, and he left with Logan.
Both of them arrived at Logan’s clubhouse, which was a huge place with a basement in the backyard. It
was in the corner, and a flower stand was placed next to it. A few flower pots stood around it, hiding the
entrance to the basement located under the tree.
...
As it was already nighttime and this area was not open to guests, it was a little dark in the yard. Logan
hadn’t instructed anyone to install any lighting here for the sole reason that the basement was meant
for sneaky businesses.
The entrance to the basement was covered with a wood plank, and a huge flower pot stood on top of it,
but it was moved aside now. When the plank was removed, the entrance, which looked like a well with
a rope ladder on the side, was revealed.
It was pitch black inside, but John took a step down without hesitation with Logan following behind.
About seven feet deep into the ground, they landed, and John whisked out his cell phone for light. The
place was quite spacious, and after scanning around with light, he found the person he was looking for
—a man thrown to the floor with his hands tied to his back.
Logan turned on the only light source in the basement, which was a low wattage light that emitted a
dim lighting, casting an eerie atmosphere to the place. Looking around, John saw that there was nothing in this basement, so he hoisted the man up and
propped him against the wall in a sitting position.
They didn’t know if that man had fallen asleep or passed out earlier, but he slowly opened his eyes
after being shaken. With his eyes half-opened, he tried to adjust to the light in the room.

you still thinking about sleeping at this time?” Then, he gave the man another kick on his chest, and
that man grunted softly.
John raised his hand and patted his shoulder. “Be gentle. If you keep this up, you might send him on
his way soon.”
Logan went over his words and backed down, knowing that he was a person who didn’t know his own
strength. Subsequently, John lowered himself to stare at the man and saw that he was pale and rather
weak.
“Why are you following Sophia?” he asked.
Chuckling lightly, the man answered, “Because she’s pretty, and I like pretty girls.”
The moment his reply reached Logan’s ears, he came up and gave him another kick again, but it
landed on his face, and John didn’t say a thing this time. Almost instantly, blood trickled down his
nostril, and he tilted his head, but as his hands were bound, he couldn’t wipe it away.
With an icy look on his face, John said, “If you tell the truth, you won’t have to suffer that much. If youdon’t, you might not walk out of here.”
It seemed like the man still had some integrity as he didn’t utter a word, and John smirked. “I’ve seen
more than enough of people like you who think that you can pull through if you just bear with it. That’s
amusing.” Standing up, he went on, “I have countless ways to torment you to spill the beans, but I
would still like to give you a chance in the beginning. If you speak up first, then we can all save the
trouble.”
Hesitating, the man then turned to him. “I like pretty girls, and I think she’s kind of cute. I merely
secretly took a few pictures of her, and I’ll just delete them if it really bothers you.”
John sighed. “Forget it. Looks like you really don’t plan to say anything.” Spinning around to face
Logan, who looked like he was not done manhandling the guy, he grinned. “Prepare some things for
me and try to gather them. You don’t have to do this yourself. I won’t let this guy have it easy.”
Gritting his teeth, Logan pointed a finger at that man and hissed. “Just you wait.”
