He seemed to lose all his bearings, and turned her around to check her back. A pool of rufous blood
greeted his eyes with her clothes torn and her body badly mangled.
Behind his back, Tyler stood up slowly, with a hideous and twisted face, spitting out a mouthful of blood
and a tooth stuck with flesh and blood.
Glowering at Edgar, he dashed towards him and tried to kick him as he was checking on Molly with his
back against him.
"Watch out!" Molly shouted out when she noticed him from the corner of her eyes, but it was too late to
remind Edgar.
Plump! Tyler landed a kick on his shoulder before he could react.
"Ow!" Edgar cried in agony, crouching on the ground.
"Edgar!" Molly screamed. Meanwhile, Tyler raised up his fist trying to land another blow.
Edgar pushed Molly aside, and flung back his head to avoid Tyler's attack. He then straightened his
back, and glared at his furious and bloody eyes. This time, he decided to fight Tyler with all the strength
he could muster.
The two men fought furiously inside the small tin-sheet house, making a great deal of noise. Crouching
on the floor, Molly stared at them anxiously, completely strung up.
As the fight increased in fury and heat, the air was suddenly pierced by the sound of police sirens
growing louder and louder.
Hearing the sirens, Tyler tried to give Edgar one last kick before fleeing, but failed again. "You'll pay for
this!" he said as he stepped back. "Sooner or later, I will get you!"
He gave Molly an evil glance and ran off as fast as he could. Right after he had left the room, Bill
walked in with a lollipop in his mouth, followed by some policemen.
Bill looked around as he stepped into the room. "Where is Tyler?" he asked, taking the lollipop out.
Edgar glared at him, wiping off the blood stain from his lips, and replied impassively,"You should have
come earlier."
Just then, the sheriff came in. With a glance at Molly, he signalled his subordinates to go check on
Molly. He himself went towards Edgar and said,"Someone reported an abduction in here. Were you
involved in it?"
"Yes, Sir. But I was the victim in the fight. The man you are looking for took off," Edgar replied calmly.
The sheriff frowned upon hearing that and, with a look of total disbelief, told him,"I'll need you to come
to the police station with us," he said.
"And that girl too. Bring them both!" the sheriff said to the policeman who was untying Molly, while the
others searched around the house.
Edgar stood still, with no intention of obeying his order.
"Excuse me, sir! Shouldn't you go and catch the bad guy instead of taking the good ones away?" Bill
stepped forward with an inquiring face.
"He is the one who saved me, sir," Molly added as she wrapped herself in Edgar's coat. Her face was
pale in shock.
"No matter who you are or what you did, you still have to come to the police station and record a
statement, all of you," the sheriff said coldly.
"Who dares to take away my woman?"
Before an irritated Edgar could say anything, a deep voice came from the door and stopped him. It was
deep, detached, stern, and as cold as an iceberg, which made everyone in the room nervous.
Molly, who had just stood up with the help of a policeman, tottered a little when she saw the man
whose voice she had just heard. If Edgar hadn't helped her, she would have fallen down.
The man she saw was Brian, standing by the door, with one hand in his pocket, and a faint smile on his
handsome face. His long and sharp eyes were staring at Molly and Edgar.
Brian and Edgar had arrived in A City at the same time, and Brain had known Edgar as the new mayor
of the city long before anything else. He was curious about him, as Edgar had been born in a rich
family and had achieved great success at a very young age.
Brian admired anyone who was both intelligent and young.
But… right now, he was more curious about the reason Edgar was here and his fighting skills.
As the captain of the Wolf SWAT Team and the strongest and youngest warrior in the special forces,
his agile fighting skills didn't dishonour his title.
As Brian continued thinking, his face became grimmer.
And he gave a disdainful sneer when he saw Edgar holding Molly in his arms.
Edgar?.
Now it all made sense.
The Edgar that Molly had mentioned had turned out to be quite a large fish!
Thinking of that, Brian was overwhelmed with jealousy, especially when he saw the fear and dislike
Molly held in her eyes for him, which made him a bit sad.
The policemen in the room merely stared at Brian with curious glances. No one dared to ask him
anything. One of the policemen tried to say something, but shut his mouth when he saw Brian give him
a ruthless stare.
Somehow, there was an air around Brian that made people feel afraid, and they stood dead as
doornails. It seemed that if you spoke a word or moved a step without permission, you were dead for
sure.
Needless to say, Brian was born with an aura of confidence that made people obey his orders.
He walked up to Molly in the deathly stillness with everybody's eyes on him, flicked her hair with his
slender fingers and said,"Mol, why are you here? Why are you being naughty? Didn't I tell you to stay
at home?"
She trembled and turned pale as Brian got closer, afraid about what Edgar would think about them. He
had frowned on seeing Brian.
Noticing the changes in her attitude and expressions, he grimly sneered and suddenly pulled her out of
Edgar's arms with a firm grip into his own.
"Ow!"
Molly shrieked in pain, When he had gripped her shoulders, he had accidentally scratched her wounds.
It hurt so much that her lips turned blue and sweat broke out on her forehead.
