Carina started to get nervous when she saw a couple of people staring at her with sly smiles on their faces. Unconsciously, she took two steps back. There were others too in this small alley, but none of them had the intention to help as they were used to these things happening around them. Poverty had made them numb with their surroundings.
Before the leader of the thugs could say anything to Carina, a black shadow covered him, and his smile froze.
"Cauchy?"
"She's my guest, Andy," said the black man that looked as strong as a bull.
The other young thugs looked at each other, and their leader named Andy quickly put both his arms up.
"This is all just a misunderstanding, Cauchy. We'll never harm your guests," said Andy with a wide grin on his freckled face.
After that, the young thugs quickly fled the scene.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me first. Check if your pouch is still with you."
