Ava walked out of company's building and moved slowly along the street path, using the coolness of the night to calm her restless mood.
After a while, she partially regained herself. Since he didn't remember her, she believed there was no need for her to be upset. She could just treat him as a new colleague at worst.
The bright and hazy moonlight sprinkled on the street, bringing a touch of softness to her figure as she continued walking alone. However, before she stepped onto the main road, four men in strange costumes walked out of the alley.
Some of them had tattoos on their left arms and ear ornaments. They held baseball bats and knives with evil looks on their faces.
Three of them were no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but one of them was in his mid twenties. It was obvious at first glance that they were gang members.
Ava stepped back timidly, not expecting to see them there. They were also a little surprised to see someone to suddenly appear in front of them. How could a young lady came to their doorstep so late in the night?
They surrounded Ava, pointed the bats and knives at her.
One of them said ruthlessly. "Hey, beautiful. Just handover what you have, and we'll let you go."
"I have nothing on me." Ava, who had never encountered such a situation, was already trembling with fear, but she still pretended to be calm when answering.
Of course, they didn't believe what she said. Who would go out without money?
The boy standing on the left said in a rude tone. "Hey, don't be brave now. You know what happens if you don't comply."
The boy opposite didn't want to waste his time talking, so he just snatched Ava's bag and dumped everything inside on the floor. When the boys saw the things on the ground, their faces froze.
A five-dollar note, three one-dollar coins, and a pack of dried fruits.
All of them were stunned by what they saw. They've seen poor people before, but they've never seen anyone as poor as her. This was the most shabby robbery in their career.
The shortest boy said angrily. "Damn it, are you a refugee or what? Even refugees get allowances. Is this all you have?"
"Yes, that's all I have!" Every day she had to carefully calculate how much money she should allocate to expenses, so how could she bring extra money with her?
"Well, you're not bad looking. How about we have some fun?" The middle-aged man who had been staring at Ava for a long time suddenly became evil-minded and reached out to touch Ava.
Feeling something was wrong, Ava turned around and was about to run when the other three boys simultaneously grabbed her, causing her to scream in fear. "Help, help..."
The middle-aged man was afraid of the noise attracting passers-by, that he immediately covered Ava's mouth with his hands, and they dragged her away.
Just when Ava was in despair, a cold voice rang out.
"Let her go!"
A man in a dark brown suit, with short, messy hair and a pair of sunglasses stepped out of a black car on the street.
Seeing that someone was not afraid of getting beaten and meddling in their business, the middle-aged man threatened fiercely. "This is none of your business. Get lost, or you'll regret it."
The man heard someone threatening him, and the corners of his lips curl up slightly in a smile. He was the one who decided the lives of others, and no one dared to talk to him like that. "You have a few seconds to get lost yourselves, or else, I'll have to teach you rats some lessons."
His words made them laugh even more, thinking he was bragging. However, before they could stop laughing, the man twisted the middle-aged man's arm with great speed, making him wail aloud like a dying pig.
The three teenagers saw this scene and fled in panic, not even caring about their companions, but quickly ran for their lives.
Ava, who was rescued, also showed surprise in her eyes. Her rescuer was clearly ten meters away, but he was able to attack so quickly. He had to be one of those MMA guys.
The man ignored the person howling on the ground, walked to where the bag fell, picked up the things on the ground one by one and put them into the bag.
Then he stood up and handed them to Ava. "From now on, don't walk alone on the street in the middle of the night. This is New York, and the streets are very dangerous."
If he hadn't been driving by and seen this scene just now, what would she have done.
"Thank you...thank you!" Ava took her bad from him and thanked him.
"That's okay." He changed his indifference and said calmly. "You can go home now."
Ava thanked him and left quickly. Today was her most unlucky day. Not only did she meet the man of her nightmare, she was also almost robbed and violated.
Tears of grievance fell from her eyes helplessly. Why was she so miserable? Why wouldn't God let her have an easy life?
Seeing Ava disappear on the street, he lowered his eyes to glance at someone who had been moaning in pain, then got back into the car and drove away
