Although these burly men didn't look like the previous ones, they clearly belonged to the same group because they were all dressed similarly.
"As expected, the young mistress of the Fuller Family is quite intelligent. You guessed so quickly," the man leading the group walked over and said with a cheery smile.
Mary and Wesker could tell that these people had ill intentions and hurriedly blocked them off from Sonia, who was still in the car.
"Who exactly are you?" she demanded with a dark expression.
In response to that, the man pushed his glasses up his nose. "Mrs. Fuller behind you should know who I am."
"I do?" Hearing that, Sonia scrutinized the man and realized he looked familiar as if she had seen him somewhere. Her memory was always good, and she quickly recalled his identity. Suddenly, her expression hardened as she uttered, "It's you?"
Then, the man sent her a smile. "It seems that Mrs. Fuller recognizes me now."
Suddenly, she latched the car window tightly shut.
After hearing that, Mary asked, "Young Mistress Sonia, who is he?"
"He's Xander Little, Connor's assistant," Sonia replied, her eyes fixed on Xander.
The man nodded in response. "That's right."
"So, it's Connor who's trying to capture us?" Mary asked, finally understanding everything.
"Exactly." He lifted his chin haughtily. "Do you think Mr. Salzburg won't be able to do anything just because you're watching him? How laughable. He has already planned everything, and no matter how many people have their eyes on him, his plans will still be carried on without a hitch."
"Plan?" Sonia stared at him intently. "What are you trying to do?"
"You'll find out very soon. Take her away," Xander ordered, pointing at Sonia.
"Try it if you dare!" At that moment, Mary and Wesker stood shoulder to shoulder, not allowing them to pass.
Then, Mary sent Xander a warning look and threatened, "If you dare to harm Young Mistress Sonia, I swear that I won't let you off easily."
As if he had heard the world's funniest joke, he roared with a hideous-sounding bout of laughter. "Since we're already here, how would we dare do anything to her? As for not letting us off easily, I'm not scared of that. Your Young Mistress Sonia will probably meet her end before that. Pull them away quickly, or we won't be able to leave once the other people show up."
"Yes, sir." After responding to his order, the burly men forcibly dragged Mary and Wesker away. At the same time, the rest yanked the door open and pulled Sonia out.
"Young Mistress Sonia!" Mary howled, her voice filled with anxiety and worry. "Let go of her, don't touch her! If you want to take someone with you, just take me!"
Xander rolled his eyes upon hearing that. "We have no use for you. Why would we take you with us? How noisy! Just knock them out."
The burly men immediately obeyed his instructions and swung at Mary and Wesker, knocking them unconscious with blows to the back of the neck.
"Mary!" Sonia yelled urgently.
Then, Xander held her arm and said, "Don't worry, you'll be knocked out too. It won't be easy for us to take you away if you're awake." After saying that, he struck her on the back of the neck, and she felt only a twinge of pain before losing consciousness and falling forward.
