She didn't want to deal with Max anymore, so she quickened her pace, intending to leave.
The people trailing them realized Elena was trying to slip away. Since the area was deserted, it was their best chance.
Suddenly, seven or eight men emerged from the shadows.
"Elena..." Max started to say something, but he looked around in confusion as they were surrounded.
Elena swept her sharp, icy gaze over them and secretly clenched her fists.
Seeing the thugs preparing to make their move, Max surprisingly stepped in front of Elena to shield her.
"You... Who are you guys? You actually dare to mess with me?" Max stammered.
It was obvious he was scared.
Elena glanced at him. She had assumed Max was the type to cling to life and fear death.
She hadn't expected him to stand in front of her at a moment like this.
She was slightly surprised. It seemed this kid wasn't completely rotten to the core.
The men ignored Max and lunged forward to attack Elena.
"Do you know who I am? I'm Max Holt of the Holt family! If you dare offend me, you're dead... Ah!"
Max hadn't even finished his tough talk when he saw a fist flying toward his face.
He screamed in terror.
But the fist didn't land on him. Elena struck out with a heavy punch, instantly taking down the attacker.
The man stumbled back several steps from the impact, shock written all over his face.
Such strength!
A young woman actually possessed that kind of power? His eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing their companion stumble, the others exchanged glances and swarmed forward all at once.
Elena shoved Max aside and engaged them.
Thud!
She kicked the man attacking her directly to the ground, then followed up with a heavy strike.
Crack!
The sound of breaking bones echoed.
Max stood on the sidelines, dumbfounded.
He didn't even dare to step in; he was too terrified.
Elena flipped around, maneuvering behind a large thug, and delivered a palm strike.
