Pow! Johann collapsed as the man hit him.
After wiping away the blood from the corner of his lips, he suddenly looked cold.
"Why are you following us? You might not know who we are but you definitely can tell that we are not to be trifled with." A few seconds later, the man threw a kick at Johann and sent him flying.
Johann didn't practice self-defense or judo before because he was committed to developing his career for many years. As such, he was diffident when facing the thugs.
After a while, Johann covered his stomach and stood up slowly. However, he fell to the ground again once the man kicked him.
Meanwhile, Joan was heartbroken upon seeing this.
Thud! Joan kicked the man next to her with all her might. Then, she hopped out and shook her head toward Johann.
Johann looked up, smiled at her, and said nothing. I'll live in shame if I can't even protect the woman I love!
Soon, a few cars came to sight.
What's going on? Some of their faces darkened the moment they recognized the man in the car.
"Boss, it's Larry!"
They panicked right away. Who doesn't know Larry? When they abducted Joan, their sponsor promised that Larry wouldn't be aware of it. Now that Larry showed up, they felt that they were in
huge trouble.
Damn it! We shouldn't have trusted the woman in the first place!
"Run!"
As soon as they wanted to leave, Larry's men encircled them completely.
"Don't come near us, or I'll kill her!" Suddenly, their boss pulled Joan closer and held her throat.
"Joan," Larry said softly to her, who stood not far from him.
