After having dinner, they went to the cinema together. However, they were stopped by some unknown men when they arrived.
"Mr. Jones, Miss Winston, please come with us."
Four people blocked their way. All of them were tough-looking men dressed in black.
Ernest frowned and brought Leah into his arms. He looked at the people stopping them and said in a calm and commanding tone, "Who are you?"
"Our boss has asked you to be his guest. He wants to speak with you." The leader of the group spoke.
Ernest chuckled disdainfully. "You didn't say who it is, so why should I go with you, hm?"
Leah was still in shock as she did not expect someone to block their path.
She held Ernest's hand nervously.
Ernest gave her a calm look.
Leah felt that Ernest was amazing. He did not even flinch when he was faced with four scary men.
"Mr. Jones, since you won't cooperate, we have no choice but to do it the hard way."
The leader bade the other three men to charge.
The four men surrounded them in an instant.
Leah was startled and she looked around her anxiously.
They were in the parking lot outside the cinema. The movie halls were just a stone's throw away.
Leah felt that it would be a pointless endeavor to call for help. No one would be able to hear them!
"What are we going to do, Ernest?" Leah was close to tears.
However, Ernest held her in his arms and said to her, "Don't be afraid, it's just four people."
When he said that, the four people were all stunned. They sneered at Ernest, marveling at how Ernest overestimated himself.
He was just a nerdy, lanky man. How could he dream to take on the four of them?
Ernest wouldn't be able to subdue even one of them.
Ernest gave them all a piercing gaze. They obviously underestimated him, so he raised his chin proudly and shoved Leah out of the circle.
"Get somewhere safe," Ernest commanded.
Leah was stunned for a moment after being pushed out of the circle. She immediately called the police.
At the same time, Ernest was busy fighting off the four men.
Crack! Crunch!
The sounds of fists meeting flesh were very loud.
Ernest's moves were swift and accurate. On top of that, he managed to avoid the four men's attacks.
He was very aggressive with his continuous punches. He did not stop for a moment.
It wasn't long before all four attackers were sprawled on the ground.
The battered men were panting. One of them spat and swore, "D*mn it! I didn't expect that nerdy guy to be so skilled! We've been tricked!"
"Okay, kid. I admit you have some skills." Another man also narrowed his eyes at Ernest.
The four men became much more nervous than before, they gave Ernest wary looks.
Leah took the chance to get somewhere out of reach of the men and called Gary. "Gary, help! Ernest and I have been ambushed at the cinema. Four burly men are trying to kidnap us."
"Four men?" Gary sounded nonplussed as he heard this. "It's fine, Leah. Don't worry. Four men have nothing against Ernest. Just let him be."
"Huh? Why are you so chill about this, Gary?" Leah was close to tears. "Call the police for me, okay? I'm going to help Ernest."
"Relax, Celeste and I are at the movies too. We'll be right out. Don't worry," Gary replied.
Anxiety riddled Leah's body, making her unable to think. She was afraid that the police would ask too much, so she decided to call Gary instead. Alas, Gary's nonchalance only made her even more anxious.
She quickly hung up the phone and called the police herself.
However, at that time, one of the men discovered that she was calling the police and rushed over.
Fortunately, Leah was agile and she managed to dodge him as she ran through the parking lot. "I want to make a police report! Someone is trying to kidnap me and Ernest Jones. Ernest is your superior, Jensen Charm's nephew. Help us!"
"Damn b*tch." The man grabbed Leah's hair and pulled it hard. "How dare you call the police?"
"Ahh!" Leah was pushed to the ground.
"I'll kill you!" The man intended to strike Leah.
