With clammy hands, he successfully dialed the emergency code and it ranged for a few seconds before the personnel on duty picked up.
“911, what’s your emergency?”
However, before the man even got the opportunity to say a word, a leisure knock landed on his car window and he looked out with terror only to discover one of those gangsters looking down at him with a grin.
Where did he come from? It seems that one had been monitoring him for a while.
His heart skipped a beat at once while he unconsciously leaned back into his seat, his hand tightening on the seat belt around him.
“The phone?” The gangster said, stretching out his hand expectantly.
…..
Without a word, the driver handed the phone with shaky hands and the gangster snatched the phone from him. He then squeezed his eyes shut knowing that this was his end, but the man merely waved his baton at him warningly, “Don’t go, anyway”
And that was it.
“Huh?” He was surprised, “Just like that?” The driver was stunned.
Meanwhile, Mimi’s method worked effectively because she slapped the man’s head mercilessly leaving him with no choice but to let her down – that pain indeed touched his brains. Neither could he lay a hand on her because Draco strictly warned them not to and the reason why.
She used that opportunity to run back to the scene but her fears came true, the fight had already begun. It was like something out of an action movie, the protagonist fighting and defending himself against huge numbers of enemies.
After the previous incident, Mimi researched the position of consigliere in the gang and discovered he was merely an adviser to the boss hence she underestimated his ability.
She surmised Victor was probably only good with a gun, a skill he learned to protect himself in the least while all the actions were reserved for the boss, Lukas. So he’d be beaten to a pulp without his weapon.
But right now, she was proved wrong and Mimi had to admit, Victor looked really hot while fighting.
A-hem!
Where was that stupid thought come from? However, this was no time to quibble with her stupid mind, she needed to focus.
The difference in skill between Victor and those men was like heaven and earth, their numbers the only advantage they had on their side.
“Yes, come on, kick those asses!” Mimi became the spectator, cheering Victor on as he fought.
Victor was pushing the attacker in front of him when one of the attackers from behind, raised his baton to hit him on the neck and Mimi was quick to shout, “Victor, behind you!”
Thanks to that timely warning, Victor was able to dodge in time and while still holding the first man’s hands that he crossed in an X and pulled hard, he dodged the other attacker that swung the baton at him once again.
Victor, targeting his knee, kicked there strongly before swiftly snatching his baton with one hand and gave both men a beating and turning to face the other ones that charged at him.
“Yes!” Mimi pumped her fist in the air, excited that she was useful to Victor in the end – she would give him an earful after this was over. Even at that, Victor was quite cool.
Thanks to that, Mimi was so taken by Victor’s charisma that she forgot all about the bald man so when he suddenly grabbed her from behind, she shrieked from fright, and that cost Victor.
The only thought in Victor’s head at the moment was to beat Draco and his underlings and get the hell out of hell with Mimi. Draco might be a businessman but he was no fighter which was why he simply watched from the sidelines waiting for his men to deliver him – Victor – on a platter of gold to him. Unfortunately, that was not going to happen.
It would be hard and one of the toughest fights he had ever been in but Victor was not going to stand still and watch his ass being handed to him, especially with Mimi around. Yeah, he still had his pride and he wanted her out of harm’s way – he wouldn’t be able to concentrate with Mimi in the way.
With his victory drawing near, Victor saw the perks of having Lukas personally train him. His cousin might be loving but when it comes to training, he was a war machine and there was no mercy. Sadly, his fears came true.
He suddenly heard Mimi’s panicked scream and turned, getting distracted. That gave his opponent the chance to hit him at the back of the head with the expandable steel baton and the pain disoriented Victor, slowing his locomotion.
“Victor!” Mimi screamed, her heart almost jumping out of her throat at that scene and she was guilty knowing that was her fault. Maybe, she shouldn’t have been stubborn and stayed in the car where he wanted her to be.
Sadly, the bald man didn’t bother to drag her along to the car this time, he just held her down at the spot as she struggled, watching the whole scene unfold in front of her.
Like vermin upon finding a host, Draco’s underlings took that little moment of weakness from Victor and attacked him, trying to make sure he doesn’t stand on his feet again seeing he was strong.
“No, let him go!” Mimi shouted in despair, watching them kick and hit Victor who could do little to defend himself. He was outnumbered – and it was all her fault.
“Please, just let him go!” Mimi found herself crying for a man for the first time in her life.
Birds Of Same Feathers
“Please, just let him go,” The whimper left her lips, her heart shredding into pieces as she watched those men attack Victor.
Mimi suddenly wished she had some sort of superpowers so she could hurt these people as much as they hurt Victor. How could they shamelessly gang up on one person?
She sobbed, “Please, just let him go!” Her heart arched with both sorrow and regret. Victor must be in so much pain and it was all because of her.
Mimi wished she could turn back the hands of the clock to that moment when she and Victor fought. The both of them would solve their misunderstanding and there wouldn’t be any need to storm out of his house and fall into the hands of these people. Sadly, wishes weren’t horses nor could she change time.
God must have heard her prayers because the male cowards stopped kicking Victor and a path was instantly made in the middle to reveal Draco who stepped towards Victor with a cockily, “Nothing tastes as good as the sweet smell of revenge,”
Mimi glared intensely at Draco from where she was standing. If only she was free, she would claw out those eyes of his and see if that proud smile of his would still be there after she was done with him. Mimi was so angry that she was bloodthirsty.
Maybe it was a good thing that she was held down by that bald man who was a hundred-plus tons heavier than her because she was reeking off murderous intent.
“Pull him up,” Draco leisurely commanded them and his underlings did as he said as expected.
They hoisted up the tired Victor whose legs could barely support his body and only dragged along the ground. They had to support him on both sides; grabbing onto each arm to keep him in an upright position, at least to Draco’s eye level.
…..
Cleanliness was second nature to Victor but right now, he looked like something a cat dragged in. His clothes were dirtied from staying on the ground while there were several footprints on his face, not to mention his busted lips, several cuts, and a bruise forming at his temple. For people who were trying not to attract Lukas’s attention, they sure tried “hard” – note the sarcasm.
Even when he was on his feet, Victor didn’t bother to fight back because he was tired and in pain. His head was lowered and his body limp, straining and pushing his entire weight on those holding him up.
“You asshole, why don’t you fight him when he’s strong on his feet, huh? Why? Because you’re nothing but a coward!” Mimi goaded him.
“No, I disagree with that,” Draco argued, turning to her, “Only a fool jumps into a war he cannot win, right now, I win. But don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll release your sugar pie to you after five punches.” He said with dark amusement.
“Aah!” Mimi screamed in frustration, straining against that bald man’s hold all to no avail. She really wanted to slap the cocky grin off Draco’s face. This was annoying; her blood was stirred up.
Draco ignored her as if she was not worth his attention and turned back to Victor, landing the first blow right on his stomach smugly.
