The road was full of cars.
When Arielle arrived by the road, there were only three seconds left before the light would turn red.
She dashed across the road so quickly that everyone could only see a shadow flitting past them.
When the protesters arrived by the road, the light had already turned red.
Watching the cars speeding across the road, most of the protesters came to a halt hesitantly. However,
some ignored the red light and dashed across the road to go after her.
Honk! Honk!
At once, the vehicles on the road screeched to a halt.
Bang! A car promptly rammed into the car before it.
The owner hopped out of his car in fury and shrieked, “Didn’t you see the red light? Do you have a death
wish? My car costs over two million! I demand compensation!”
The road descended into chaos. Some took the chance to go after Arielle, but most of them got stopped
by the car owner and the busy traffic.
When Carter appeared beside the road, someone suddenly realized he had alighted from the same car
that Arielle was in earlier.
“He didn’t come to call off the contract; he’s on the same side as that woman!” someone roared.
The crowd immediately made their way toward him.
Carter had no choice but to turn and run in the opposite direction.
It just so happened that the man who had talked to Carter earlier was right behind him, flanked by two
tall and muscular young men.
It was three versus one. Unfortunately, Carter didn’t have any weapons with him, while the three men
were either holding baseball bats or knives.
Clearly, Carter was at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, he didn’t seem to have any other choice than to face them head-on.
Carter took off his glasses and placed them aside before shrugging out of his suit jacket. Pushing his
sleeves up, he clenched his fists and declared, “Come on!”
Now that his glasses were gone, an air of hostility replaced his initial scholarly impression.
It’s a piece of cake to defeat three men in one go.
The leader cursed, “B*stard, you lied to me! I shall let you know the consequences of lying to me. Get
him!”
Upon command, the men brandishing knives ran toward Carter.
He dodged an incoming attack deftly and spun around to kick the attacker’s back.
The attacker shrieked in pain and collapsed to the ground.
The other man roared angrily and increased his speed, aiming his knife at Carter’s chest.
Though he was fast, Carter avoided him in time and punched his face.
“Ouch!” The man covered his cheek in anguish and spat out a tooth.
“Damn it!” he cussed. His expression turned icier as he attacked Carter again and again.
Even so, he failed to gain an upper hand.
The leader pulled off his bandanna and swung his baseball bat in the direction of Carter’s head.
Carter managed to avoid being stabbed by the knife but didn’t notice someone behind him. Before the
baseball bat could land on his head, a hand appeared out of nowhere and gripped the leader’s wrist.
He couldn’t even move as the force immobilized him.
“Who are you?” He glared at the culprit.
The sunlight reflecting off the other man’s face made him a gorgeous sight to behold. His chiseled
features glinted dangerously under the sunlight. It was a daunting sight
It’s Vinson Nightshire!
