Chapter 33 Wounded
Before I could react, I saw Benett’s wife pull out a tiny sharp knife, no bigger than a pen, and lunge at Moore and Idris. Moore was the first to notice her, and she screamed.
Idris reacted very quickly. Before the knife could reach him, he grabbed a hold of it. The handle was not long, and given his strength compared to the average woman’s, it was no challenge. He took hold of her wrist with his other hand. She instinctively let go of the knife due to the pain and was pushed to the ground.
As this happened, the cafe immediately descended into chaos, and the security personnel outside quickly came in, restraining Benett’s wife and then calling the police.
“Iddy, you’re bleeding,” Moore said, looking at Idris’s hand that was holding the knife handle. There was a distressed look on
her face.
I glanced over and saw that Idris was indeed injured. Although the knife was small, it was extremely sharp, and even with his quick reaction, Idris had gotten cut.
Fortunately, it was only a hand wound. I could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Smackd! With reddened eyes, Moore walked up to Benett’s restrained wife and slapped her across the face, angrily exclaiming, You mad woman. We have no grudges against you, so why attempt to kill us?!”
Moore did not try to restrain her strength, and it left the woman’s mouth bleeding.
Plui! Benett’s wife spat the blood in her mouth toward Moore, glaring at her and Idris with contempt. She shouted, ” Adulterers! You shameless people all deserve to die!”

Startled by her furious expression, Moore moved closer to Idris. Benett’s wife looked at me and said, “You have quite the tolerance. I wouldn’t be satisfied even killing these adulterers a hundred times over. If I were you, I would’ve cut them into a million pieces to satisfy my hatred.”
Knowing that this stemmed from her husband’s disgusting actions, I took a slight breath and did not speak.
Soon, the police arrived, and after understanding the situation, prepared to take Benett’s wife away.
Seeing this, I called out to the leading officer, “Mr. Officer, wait a moment.”
The officer seemed to be a few years older than me. He looked over and asked, “Is there anything else you need?”
He had no name badge on, so I did not know what to call him. I simply said, “She killed her husband, and the b*dy should be in the trunk of a blue BMW in the Spring Hallmark residential complex right now. You should hurry over there.”
I had never seen him so keen to involve himself in chaos.
However, as if on purpose, he spread his palm open and exposed the bloody wound for all to see. It was a ghastly sight. He looked at me as if he did not care about his own injury and continued, “Why did she tell you she killed someone?”
