Chapter 67


    Xylie realized that she had run into a scoundrel. She swiftly spun on her


    heel to leave.


    “Haha! Don’t go, pretty!” Ackey wearing a gold chain grabbed her.


    Licking his lips, he dered, “This is your lucky day! My boss, Rat, has taken


    a fancy to you! Take a seat and have a few drinks with him!”


    “… I don’t know him!” Xylie argued even as she struggled.


    “Haha, you don’t even know Rat? Have you heard of the renowned Mr.


    Webber in the southern area of Yeringham, then? Rat is his sworn brother!”


    the man wearing a gold chain proimed with a smug grin.


    Samuel enjoyed great poprity in Yeringham, especially among the


    various major nightclubs and bars. No one was a stranger to his

    reputation.


    Xylie adamantly shook her head and struggled desperately.


    “Damn it! As long as you agree to keep mepany tonight, all this


    money will be yours!”


    Following that, Rat Lauer pped a stack of bills onto the table. From the


    looks of it, it was at least tens of thousands.


    He had picked up girls from the bar countless times, and many pretended


    to be virtuous. Yet, when all was said and done, they protested for the


    sake of money.


    Many of them instantly changed their tune upon seeing the stack of bills


    awaiting them.


    However, Xylie did not even spare it a single nce. She continued


    struggling and countered icily, “Sorry, but you’re mistaken! I’m not a bar


    hostess. If you need one, I can help to notify someone toe over and


    serve you.”


    Having said that, she pivoted to leave.


    “Damn it, what a b*tch! You don’t want to do things the nice way, huh?”


    Going off the deep end, Rat smashed a beer bottle at her feet.


    Crash!


    The sound of the beer bottle shattering had the whole bar plunging into


    silence in a sh.


    “Take a step further if you dare! I’ll kill you!” Rat threatened in a cial


    voice.


    That snagged the attention of a number of people.


    “What are the lot of you looking at? We might just gouge your eyes out!”


    Each of Rat’sckeys was more arrogant than thest. They pointed at the


    other patrons and cursed them out.


    The people around did not even dare watch the show anymore, much less


    attempt to be a knight in shining armor and save the damsel in distress.


    After all, it was clear as day that the group of men was not to be trifled


    with.


    Xylie did her utmost best to remain calm, but her palms had long since


    gone damp with sweat. She wanted to leave yet did not dare do so,


    making for a pitiful sight.


    Mistakenly assuming that she had given up resisting, Rat reached out to


    grope her thigh.


    “Haha, your leg is fair and supple, making me salivate, pretty!”


    “Ah! Stop it, you scoundrel!”


    In her moment of panic, Xylie pped the man across the face.


    p!


    At once, the air seemingly froze.


    W


    Rat had been in the underground circles for a long time, and he had never


    been struck by a woman.


    Worse still, the incident happened in public, causing him great humiliation.


    In the blink of an eye, the group of men smashed everything madly and


    even pushed Xylie to the ground.


    It was their first time encountering such an obstinate woman, but they


    believed that anyone would end up begging for mercy at their hands.


    She’s dead today!


    “How reprehensible!”


    Seething inwardly, Yoel gritted his teeth at the side, his hands balled into


    fists.

    Regretfully, he was scrawny and dared not step out at all. All of a sudden,


    his gaze flickered. When he caught sight of Emmanuel, his mind whirred at


    warp speed.


    Everyone in Cloud Construction knows that he’s the man who handled Mr.


    Webber and ensured that the project could progress smoothly. Since he


    can even deal with Mr. Webber, he must be capable of doing the same


    with these few ruffians!


    Chapter 67 Please Save Xylie


    At that thought, he clenched his jaw and implored, “Please save Xylie, Mr.


    Lowe!”


    In truth, Emmanuel would have lent Xylie a hand without the man having


    to make that request since the ruffians had gone overboard.


    Nheless, he seized advantage of the opportunity and asked, “Can you


    help me amend the logo if I were to help her?”


    Yoel gritted his teeth. “I don’t dare promise you anything, but I’ll try my


    best!”


    “Deal!”


    Immediately, Emmanuel stood up and walked out of the booth.
