A black car pulled up outside the studio.
The door swung open, and out came a bunch of goons armed with sticks, heading straight for the studio!
"Smash it up!" they shouted.
And with that, they swung their sticks at the studio. They were all so aggressive and intimidating that everyone was scared shitless, and passersby were throwing them curious looks.
Brittany was about to answer some questions when she saw them coming and her face turned pale.
"Hannah, move!" she yelled.
Hannah was standing with her back to them, oblivious to the danger. Brittany quickly pulled her aside, but not before getting hit on the arm with a stick. The pain made her gasp!
These guys were clearly prepared. A few swings and the sign were smashed. One of the goons in the back was carrying a bucket of pig's blood, which he promptly dumped all over Brittany.
"Let's see if you dare to plagiarize again!"
"Loraine is not one to be messed with!"
"Get out of Imperial City!"
Brittany was covered in pig's blood; the stench was unbearable. The sound of shattering glass resounded in her ears, she felt as if her soul had been sucked out, standing there in shock.
Hannah and the others finally reacted and tried to stop the goons. They were hurling insults, so Hannah picked up a stick and swung it at them. "Get out or we're calling the cops!"
On such a festive day, they had the nerve to cause trouble!
This reeked of a setup!
William stepped forward, took off his jacket, and draped it over Brittany. He pulled out his phone and dialed 911.
The goons tried to make a run for it when they saw the police being called, but Hannah blocked them, swinging her stick. Chaos ensued.
Brittany's vision was a sea of red. Her arm throbbed with pain, but her heart hurt more. She turned around to see the studio she had painstakingly decorated, destroyed. It was like a tornado had swept through, all traces of her hard work, shattered. Ignoring the pig's blood on her, William picked her up and rushed her to the hospital.
