Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1606

On their walk back home, Callis turned unresponsive again, leaving Raeleigh to talk to herself while he looked around and then back at her from time to time.

The rest of their journey home was quiet; no one spoke.

When they turned a corner, Callis pulled her over and shielded her.

She also sensed the unusualness, as if someone was approaching them, and they were all strangers.

Raeleigh grabbed Callis's arm, asking, "Who are they?"

He looked back at her and shook his head, his gaze gradually turning cold.

It didn't take long for the gang to reach them. Raeleigh grew nervous, but she still pulled her phone out and called Jacky.

Jacky immediately told his men to go to them when he received the call. Meanwhile, the gang was then only a few steps away from Callis and Raeleigh. Callis swept his gaze across the ground and picked up a wooden stick, giving it to Raeleigh. She looked at him and asked, "Are you asking me to protect myself?"

He looked at her with an unfathomable expression, then turned to look at the approaching gang.

One of them had a knife in his hand.

"Hand her over to us, and you can walk away unscathed," One of them said.

Callis shook his head, leading the man to smirk, "You asked for it."

With that, the man pounced on Callis while Raeleigh fixed her gaze on the man as she held the stick tightly, knowing they were outnumbered.

"Leave, Callis."

Raeleigh didn't want to drag Callis down.

However, Callis only put an arm out to protect Raeleigh as he took a step back, looking somewhere not far away.

Raeleigh followed his gaze and saw many people approaching them, surrounding the gang. Strange, she looked at Callis.

"How do you know there are people nearby?"

He didn't answer, nor did he explain.

Raeleigh was used to it; he wasn't one for explanations.

Soon the gang was subdued and taken to an open space to be tied up.

Xanthus and Leander got to Raeleigh and Callis soon.

But when they arrived, Raeleigh was dozing off as she sat down with Callis beside her.

Jacky was the last to arrive, but only a few seconds short after Xanthus.

Xanthus rushed to check on Raeleigh and was relieved to see that she was alright.

"How is it that even Waverly Village isn't safe now?"

Jacky was approaching just as Xanthus spoke. Callis raised his head to look at Jacky, who held a stick in his hand, walking toward the gang with a menacing look.

Raeleigh looked over only to see Jacky swing his stick on one of the gang member's heads, and the man blacked out immediately, a trail of blood flowing out of his head. Shocked, Raeleigh's eyes flew wide open, and Callis immediately covered her eyes with his hand. With Raeleigh's face buried in his chest, he took her away. Raeleigh's breaths were short and heavy, looking as if she had a panic attack.

Those tied up retreated together. They were all surprised that Jacky beat one of them into a pulp without even questioning.

As the gang retreated, Jacky spat a spat of saliva to the side and continued beating them up, not caring for anything else. After around ten- plus minutes, the entire gang was on the ground, motionless, bloodied.

Raeleigh only heard sounds of begging, but it was too late. Jacky beat them up as if they were ants, ruthless, with no intention of sparing their lives.

After that, he threw the bloody stick in his hand to the ground.

Xanthus was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a bloody scene; Jacky had taken those lives as if they were nothing.
