"You better make sure that he gets back in a whole skin. Otherwise, I will let the whole KG company pay the price." Edward said in a cold voice, looking at the woman with flinty and cruel eyes. He considered Luke not only his bodyguard, but also his family. Like anyone else, he would indeed lose his temper if anyone came after his family.
"Alas! Do you think that you are still in your territory, Mr. Mu? It is not certain whether you can survive the night or not, let alone have a final say here." The woman smiled contemptuously. Now that they were in the B Country, which lay within her master's sphere of influence, she just couldn't be more arrogant. So she wasn't frightened by Edward's threat at all.
"If you don't believe me, let's give it a try and see what will happen, shall we?" Edward let out a wicked smile, approached her, and touched her face with his fingers lightly and flirtatiously. He looked liked a total womanizer, a dissolute playboy. The woman was soon distracted, and before she could say a word, Edward suddenly hit the nape of her neck with his gun. The beauty then slowly sank to the floor. Edward seized the chance and rushed out. He took out his phone and dialed Luke's number while running at full speed. But the phone was not answered and the dial tone went busy soon.
Just like the woman said, Luke was pinned down at the moment. However, it was not his own safety that worried him, but rather Edward's safety. When he thought about his young master who had been left alone in the hotel, he tried to fight the most out of each and every attack with explosiveness in a hope to break free from the group of gangsters who had besieged him. But his enemies were not to be underestimated, for he failed to get rid of them even after fighting for a long time. To make things worse, he was now feeling both physically and mentally exhausted. As they narrowed the encirclement, he was driven into a tight corner, and fell into despair.
There was no prize for guessing who had sent these gangsters. So Luke knew it clearly in his heart that not only he was in trouble but Edward's life too was in danger at the same time. The problem was, he was held here while Edward was totally out of his reach. The fact that there was nothing he could do to save him now made him feel anxious and frustrated. He even feared that their enemies might have sent more people to assault Edward. If that happened, then the situation was even more intense.
In fact, the hotel where Edward had been staying was right in front of him, but he just couldn't get there. Bit by bit, he was now forced into a dark and narrow alley. This took him farther and farther away from the hotel. Worse still, it was a bunch of desperadoes that he had to tackle with, and he was hopelessly outnumbered. Being at a horrible disadvantage, he felt like a drowned mouse covered in blood with wounds all over.
"Damn it! How shameless it is to bully someone by the sheer weight of numbers. This is the most horrible thing to do. Go and teach them a lesson! Well, it looks like that they are foreigners…But so what? This can't be their excuse for bullying someone. Just take your time, beat them black and blue until nobody can tell where they came from!" Just then, Luke heard a girl's bossy voice ringing out from the darkness. The next thing he knew, several people joined him in the fight. Although their fighting skills were not as good as expected, they contained the enemies' actions, and allowed Luke to take a breather.
"Hey! How could you be here, Mr. Chilly?" Now, it finally occurred to Luke who these people that suddenly turned up were. He knew very few people who would swagger through the street in such a unique and conspicuous way, except that little bad girl, Michelle.
To be honest, Luke didn't recognize Michelle when he first set eyes on her. But later, the words Mr. Chilly somehow rang a bell. He thought hard to figure out the names of all those people who could possibly call him by this name. After a lot of thought, he finally recalled who that person was. Luke felt dizzy and almost passed out. He prayed in his heart that she would not mess things up for him this time. He didn't know what she was doing in this remote country. What was Michelle really up to? But he had no time to think further on this matter since he was dealing with so many gangsters at the moment. The most important thing now was to defeat them and get out of here alive as soon as possible. It was really not the right time to meet an old friend and catch up on each other's lives.
However, Luke never thought that his reaction would surprise or enrage her. She felt bad when she saw Luke ignoring her as always. Without a second thought, she bit her lip and reached out her fist in nobody else's but Luke's direction. Seeing Michelle prepare to throw a punch at him, Luke's heart missed a beat. What did this crazy girl think she was doing? Just as he closed his eyes and prepared himself for the punch, he heard someone groan close to his ear. He immediately opened his eyes, and found one of the gangsters lying flat on the ground. He then realized that she wasn't taking aim at him. But it was truly one of the most frightening moments of his life.
"See? Don't ever look down on me!" snorted Michelle. Born in a mobster family, It was very natural for her to know some basic fighting skills, so she was very well able to deal with those gangsters. Besides, she had gained a lot of fighting experience after dealing with several conflicts between different gangs over the years. This enabled her to easily knock people down with minimal effort. But this time, they were slightly inferior to the enemies both in terms of height and weight. So despite their help, they were unable to turn things around, and remained in a passive position.
Meanwhile, Edward was running and looking for Luke around the area. It surprised him that he had not been attacked again all along the way. So it seemed that the enemies really thought of him as a womanizer, and believed that they could take his life by merely sending a woman to kill him. They failed because they didn't know him well enough. It was true that he used to be a playboy, but it didn't mean that any woman would be able to attract him. Moreover, ever since he fell in love with Daisy, he had been away from his old ways. Now, Daisy was the only one in his heart. He had never looked at another woman from then on. That was the reason why their honey trap was doomed to failure.
Edward quickened his pace subconsciously when he vaguely heard sounds of fighting from a distance. The noise relaxed him a bit, for it proved that Luke was safe for the time being since he was still able to fight. Following the sound, he soon found the alley where Luke was surrounded by enemies. But his heart sank at the sight of the battle scene.
"Luke, are you all right?" Without any hesitation, Edward joined the battle. He came up to Luke as quickly as possible, and helped him knock out a gangster beside him. He then asked about Luke's safety with concern.
"I'm fine, Mr. Mu. I'm so happy to see that you are safe and sound," said Luke, who breathed a sigh of relief on seeing Edward. Edward's arrival provided timely support, and had tipped the balance in no time. He was not as strong as Daisy, but they were almost equally powerful. So he and Luke could cooperate very well and fight everyone around. In less than twenty minutes, the gangsters were defeated. Many of them fled from there to save their lives. Those who stayed at the scene kept moaning on the ground and had zero strength to run away.
"Ha! What a bunch of scums!" exclaimed Michelle while she gave one of the gangsters a good kick presumptuously. Being unable to fight back, the gangster glowered at her with hatred and anger. Michelle squinted at him, and forcibly stepped on him this time. She just would not show any mercy to them, nor was she scared of looking at them in the eye.
What? Not you again. Edward frowned and sighed the moment he spotted Michelle. Like Luke, he just couldn't why they would run into her whenever and wherever they were in a trouble. But he actually thank her in his heart. After all, she had been such a big help again today.
