Chapter 624
Michael finished his meal without saying another word before he entered his study.
Seizing the opportunity, Sophia asked Nathan, “Did you snitch on us?”
Nathan rolled his eyes and replied, “Don’t you realize that my Mom will send me here whenever she’s
going to have a fight outside?”
Only then did Sophia realize what was going on.
Justin would go with Celine whenever she had a fight outside. Since nobody could meet Nathan at the
hospital, Celine would have Hale take Nathan to Michael’s ce in advance so that he could have
dinner and stay the night there.
Having learned about it, Sophia patted her forehead. I’m too careless!
Indeed, there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home after dinner. Even though everyone
still watched TV together after dinner, nobody dared to say a word.
Sophia was also in a dilemma, but she had to join this time’s fight no matter what.
Rosie and her people had left seven cigarette burns on her back. Even though she had gotten the scars
removed viaser surgery afterward, she still remembered these scars; she even kept these scars’
positions in mind.
She remembered everything clearly, including the seven cigarette burns, the two instances where her leg
was broken, and that particr night when she was forced to jump into the river to save her own life…
This will be thest time I act wilfully. After beating them up tomorrow, I’ll wash my hands of this and
never fool around outside with Celine again.
With that thought in her mind, she grew confident as she believed that justice was on her side.
It was already 10.00 PM when they finished watching TV. Since it was time to sleep, Sophia went back to
her room.
Suddenly, Michael beckoned to her. “Come here, chica.”
This was the first sentence Michael had said to her after dinner. Despite her heavy heart, Sophia walked
toward Michael upon hearing his words.

She knew that Michael probably wanted to persuade or scold her, but she was determined to go…
Michael entered the cloakroom without saying a word, and Sophia followed suit.
Michael’s cloakroom could bepared to a small department store with its ample space and superb
collection of clothes and essories.
Having entered the cloakroom on this day, Michael stood in front of the rack where the watches were
disyed. After pressing a button, the disy rack split in two, revealing a secret room inside.
Sophia’s eyes widened in astonishment when she saw the secret room. Disyed inside were several
firearms and cold weapons—there were boxing gloves, cudgels, brass knuckles, light submachine guns,
and smoke grenades…
Michael entered the secret room with Sophia behind him. Her eyes shone with amazement as she
looked left and right at the weapons disyed.
Michael opened a ss box using his handprint; inside the box was a golden vest.
He took out the vest and handed it to Sophia. He said, “This is an ‘imprable armor’ that I ordered to
be custom-made. It can’t be prated by ordinary cold weapons, but every inch of it costs a lot. It’s
expensive, so wear it only when you really need it.”
Sophia took the imprable armor from him with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Is this for
me?
Following that, Michael took out a ck skin-tight battle suit and said, “This is bulletproof and tear-
resistant. The first thing thates to a person’s mind when fighting with women is to tear their clothes,
but this suit can’t be torn. It’s alsofortable to wear in the summer since it dissipates heat quickly.”
Huh?!
Michael took out a lot of equipment continuously. “This is a brass knuckle; it protects your hand and hurts
your opponent a lot when you punch them. This electric rod will inflict severe pain and render one unable
to fight for 30 minutes upon touching the human body; use it with your insted skin-tight battle suit. This
is a teeth protector; it can be used to protect your teeth.”
Holding the pile of equipment in her hands, Sophia was puzzled for a while before she realized what was
going on. Michael knew that he couldn’t stop her, so he decided to find some better equipment for her
instead. That way, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage when fighting outside.
Sophia’s eyes gleamed as she stared at the tall figure standing before her eyes. Indeed, my hubby is the
best!
Michael took out more equipment and said, “Ears and knees are the weakest parts of the human body,
so take care and protect your knees and ears well. Wear this helmet to protect your ears and head—it’ll
prevent your opponent from pulling your hair.”
The more Michael acted like this, the more guilty Sophia felt. She swore inwardly, This is definitely the
last time! I’ll make sure to be a dutiful wife, loving mother, nobledy, and socialite after this—I’ll never
fight again! I’ll fight just this once! Just once is enough for me!
The next day, everyone met at the agreed venue on time at 11.30 AM and set out together to the ce
where they would fight with Ben’s men
Among the several vehicles parked together, Celine and Justin shared a car. Justin wore a pair of boxing
gloves without saying a word. On the other hand, Celine didn’t wear any boxing gloves, for she liked to
fight with naked fists. Otherwise, how could she get physical with the young boys?
Sean, Stanley, and Sarah were in the same car. They seemed to have juste from thepany after
work, for they were changing their shoes.
Seeing that Sophia’s car had arrived, Stanley wound down the car window with a lollipop in his mouth.
He mocked, “Hey, Sophia! I thought Uncle Michael locked you up at home since you didn’te to work
today!”
Sophia wound down her car window to reveal a cold and beautiful face. Dressed in a ck skin-tight
battle suit, she wore a ck helmet and brought a ck electric rod with her.
This appearance of hers invited another round of ridicule from Stanley. “Wow! Will you be fighting or
attending aic con? Who are you cosying as?”
“What’s wrong? Do you have any objections to this?”
A deep male voice spoke from inside Sophia’s car, catching Stanley off guard and startling him so much
that his lollipop fell out.
It was only then did Stanley notice someone sitting in the passenger seat of Sophia’s car. Also dressed
in a ck battle suit, he had half of his face covered using a ck face mask while staring coldly at
Stanley.
“Pfft!” Stanley was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. “Why are you here, Uncle Michael?”
What?! Is Michael actually here?!
Then, a third voice spoke from inside Sophia’s car. “What do you think? We’re here to fight, of course!”
There was another person in the back seat, and his shy blonde hair shone with dazzling golden light
that even the ss window didn’t seem to be able to block.
Stanley felt that his worldviews were being challenged.
Michael and Harry are actually here to fight with a bunch of high school students?! Is it proper for an
anonymous Bayside City citizen and Mr. Winston, the lord of Bayside City’s underworld, to fight with a
group of high school students?!
Sophia had driven off first before everyone could respond.
They would be fighting with Ben’s men under a bridge in Riverdale. Sophia happened to be familiar with
the ce since she had lived there previously.
Their cars soon arrived near the bridge, and everyone got out of their cars and walked to the ce.
The bridge crossed the river, and it was very wide. Not only was the space under the bridge warm in
winter and cool in summer, but it was also sheltered from wind and rain. Moreover, this ce was
secluded; several homeless people would live here.
Some gangs would also fight under the bridge since nobody would discover the dead bodies if there
were any. Whenever the river’s tide rose, this ce would be flooded and everything would be washed
away.
Standing under the bridge, Sophia recalled everything that happened in the past; it seemed like her
blood had be frozen at that very moment.
She had stayed here for over a month before Joe discovered her here and took her away. However, she
never expected to be back here right now.
Michael stood behind her as he patted her shoulder.
Since this ce was near the riverbank, there were some strange-shaped jagged rocks here; one could
build a makeshift home by putting something on top of two rocks as a sort of roof. Such a makeshift
home was warm and sheltered from the wind, so it was suitable for the homeless people to take shelter.
My chica used to stay here… It must be very cold at night!
