Matthew was taken aback by Lucy's return because she was the cause of everything that had
transpired tonight.He thought she was long gone or simply found somewhere to stay hidden.
Never, in his wildest dream, did he imagine she would come back again.
Judging from the situation, he could tell that this girl was a responsible one at the very least.
Meanwhile, Tommy's face was enlivened when he saw her.
"Oh, Lucy.I searched everywhere for you."
With an indifferent expression on her face, she demanded, "Mr.Marshall, let's resolve our issue
outside."
His face slightly dimmed before he sniggered.
"You brat! Who do you think you are? You think Ill let them go at your request? In your dreams! Even if
you didn't turn up, I wouldn't let them get away from this either! Don't pull your punches back, boys!"
Upon hearing that, Lucy was stunned, for she had not expected her plan to go out the window despite
turning up.
Right now, the herculean men had already made their way in front of both Matthew and the crown
prince, surrounding them at full force.
As the simple man he was, the crown prince grabbed a wine bottle to smash it on the head of the burly
man who was at the front line.
The man took a step back as he covered his head, but the crown prince advanced forward and jabbed
the bottle into his neck, causing him to stagger to his feet before finally tumbling into the pool of blood.
On the other hand, Matthew wasn't as merciless as his friend.He simply fractured the guys’ limbs so
that they couldn't do anything to him.
Tommy's gang was vanquished by the duo in the blink of an eye.
In actuality, these men were merely novices.
Their appearance did come in handy at times when Tommy needed to boast his swagger and overtake
the situation.
However, asking them to go against the true fighters was nothing more than a tall order! They stood no
chance against Matthew and the crown prince! The few people standing by the door were nonplussed
by the outcome.
To imagine the two bookish-looking youngsters knocking out those well-built men was beyond their
imagination.
The flustered Tommy quickly retreated a step back as he bawled, "Sh*t! Looks like you have the guts to
even touch my men! I will not let you guys off the hook that easily! Just you wait! Don't you dare go
anywhere!"
Then, he made himself scarce without bothering Lucy, whose face was still rife with confusion.
After a moment of hesitation, she walked inside.
"Sir, lam terribly sorry for dragging the two of you into this, but I...I really didn't know that he would put
up a fight with you guys" she apologized in an undertone.
Before Matthew could say anything, the crown prince had beaten him to it with a smile.
"My fair lady, you can devote yourself to us if you're genuinely sorry.We're not that bad."
Matthew glared at him right away.
Can't he be serious for once? However, her expression changed as she took a step back.
"Never! I...I will never sell my soul even if my life is at stake’ The crown prince chuckled.
"Who said we want your soul? What we want is your body—"
"Lucy, don't get us wrong"
Matthew interrupted him.
"Since Tommy is gone, you should get going before he comes back and brings you trouble again."
Lucy glanced at the crown prince before gazing at Matthew again.
After a while, she finally piped up, "What about you guys?"
He let out a reassuring smile.
"Don't you worry.With our skills, do you think we're afraid of him?"
To that, Lucy pouted.
"Sir, I know you're good at fighting, but Tommy Marshall isn't an ordinary man.He's the big boss in
Eastshire.With only one call, he can easily round up hundreds of men.You're no match for him! Why
don't you guys run as well?"
