"Verena!" Both Louis and Aaron yelled, rushing towards her.
Verena lay unconscious on the ground, surrounded by a group of armed men. Louis clenched his fists, his anger intensifying as he surveyed the dangerous scene.
The men surrounding Verena wore masks, but their eyes betrayed their arrogance. They smirked at Louis and Aaron, thinking they had the upper hand.
Despite the odds, Louis stepped forward, ready to fight. Suddenly, the battleground expanded as the ground beneath them seemed to crumble, but Aaron didn't back down. He threw punches and took hits from attackers coming from all sides.
Just when it seemed like they might be overwhelmed, H6 and H8, their allies, heard the commotion and joined the fray. Together, they fought back fiercely, overcoming the odds.
Seizing the moment, Louis moved towards Verena. While Aaron and the two bodyguards engaged the remaining foes, Louis kneeled beside her.
