A group of people walked towards them, all dressed like thugs. At first glance, there were at least twenty of them.
The young man in the middle was wearing a black leather jacket adorned with shiny metal studs, and he was tall and muscular. He looked to be about six foot three.
He wore a black duckbill cap that obscured his face, but the giant python tattoo on his neck was impressive enough to make an impression on anyone who saw it. The snake's head faced his chin, its bloody fangs gaping wide as if it were about to devour him whole.
With this eerie and terrifying tattoo adorning him, even without showing his face, the man exuded an aura of ferocity that made people shudder. Was this Dominic?
Reece's expression darkened as he quietly placed his handbag on top of the car hood and twisted his neck slightly. Cheyenne heard a faint "click" sound.
Was this guy going to fight?
Kelvin looked coldly at the group of people before turning around to Cheyenne and saying, "Get in the car!"
"No need."
At her words, he became angry; furrowing his eyebrows and pursing his lips gave him an air of deep superiority.
"Now is not your time to show off."
"Mr. Foley." She tiptoed and leaned in close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, and at the same time, it also seeped into his heart. "The way you act makes me think you can't bear to leave me."
At her words, he clenched his large hand into a fist.
"Cheyenne," he growled out between gritted teeth. "Do you think your fancy moves can take down all these guys?"
"That's none of your concern," she replied calmly
"You!" He couldn't believe how stubborn she could be sometimes; now he wondered if that cute and proud girl in front of him was just her disguise.
The prickly rose seemed more like her true self.
Meanwhile, Dominic had approached them with eyes like snakes staring intently at each person present, especially focusing on Cheyenne who stood out from everyone else due to her stunning beauty. At the moment, he couldn't quite recall where he had seen her before.
"I heard you guys beat up my buddies?"
Cheyenne smiled lightly as she met those cold gleaming eyes head-on."To be precise, it was me who did it."
Monkey and the other three boys hung their heads shyly and felt embarrassed because they hadn't told Dominic that they were beaten by such a soft girl.
Dominic noticed their reaction but just clicked his tongue soundlessly!
He spat out the betel nut residue in his mouth, the red residue was chewed up and spit on the ground. His teeth were bright red as if he had just tasted blood.
"Good, since you admit it yourself, don't blame me for showing no mercy. Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the steel pipe handed to him by his henchman and swung it hard towards Cheyenne's head.
Suddenly, a man grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace to make her avoid the attack.
Cheyenne bumped into his chest; the man's scent was cold and sharp like winter had come early.
She froze for a moment, her heart sinking as she watched Dominic's steel pipe about to strike Kelvin's shoulder in the tense silence.
'Why did he protect me again?'
