How exactly is she going to handle it? Anger pulsed through Delilah. She's just a girl. She doesn't know how to fight, nor does she have any self-defense skills. Besides getting bullied by them, what else can she do?
"Ms. Young, please! Bring Lucius away now!"
Delilah's heart wrenched at the sound of Joan's pleas. Finally, she steeled herself and grabbed Lucius' hand, heading directly to Joan's car. Then, she started the engine and drove away from the pier.
Watching the car leave, Joan breathed out a sigh of relief. During the split second when she let her guard down, several men dashed toward her and snatched the case out of her hands before restraining her.
"I have to say, you're very emotionally-driven."
Of course, Joan merely shot him a glare without speaking.
"Stop right there!" Just when Joan was about to be taken away, Larry appeared.
Oh? Another person here to court death, I see.No. Not one, but two! The man narrowed his eyes at Larry and Caspian, exuding a bitingly cold aura.
Isn't that... Caspian clenched his fists all of a sudden, going into battle mode.
"Long time no see, Caspian," rolling his shoulders, the man snarled.
Yeah, it really has been a long time. Caspian sneered in response. He thought this man would never come back again after going abroad. It seems like he was wrong. In the end, they met again under such circumstances. Indeed, enemies were bound to meet.
"You two know each other?" Larry asked as he nudged Caspian beside him.
Caspian leaned closer to whisper, "He used to be a close friend, but later betrayed me." Indeed, this was a small world. No matter where a person went, past grudges would always come back to haunt him.
"She's innocent. Let her go!" Caspian shouted, his tone heavy with warning.
The man slowly approached Joan and surveyed her with a menacing glint in his eyes.
