“This is our employee, and since I’ve seen it, I have to check the situation naturally. I wonder why you all have to resort to this method to settle the matter?”
Mike looked at Bella’s, his gaze filled with a sense of complexity.
Those few people exchanged glances, each could see surprise in the others’ eyes.
The one leading the group, likely the boss of this bunch, spoke up, “Miss, we’re just here to do a job we’ve been paid for. It’s best if you don’t get involved.”
Bella listened to the other party’s words, half threat and persuasion, without any intention of backing. down. Instead, she asked, “Oh? How much did you get paid? I’ll pay you double. As I said before, this gentleman is an employee of our company, so I won’t stand by and do nothing.”
The leader started to laugh, and a few others joined in. Their laughter was deafening, filled with unabashed mockery.
The person leading the group sized up Bella.
“Young lady, it’s clear that you’re inexperienced and unfamiliar with the rules of our trade. What we value most is one thing: trust. It’s not as simple as you hiring us…” At this point, his tone shifted dramatically, and he said menacingly, “Young lady, I’m warning you one last time to leave quickly. Otherwise, when the fighting starts, we won’t take responsibility if you get hit.”

The group of people burst into laughter again.
Bella looked at Mike, his face filled with an expression of worry and loss. It was a stark contrast to the domineering sharpness he displayed this morning.

He shouted at Bella, “You should leave. This is my own business. Besides, I’m not really an employee of your company.”
Bella slightly raised her eyebrows, speaking with a confident tone, “You will be soon.”
The group of people didn’t want to waste any time, and with that, they were ready to charge forward.
But Bella casually glanced at her phone, and it was unmistakably on the 911 page.
What followed was the sound of an alarm.
Those people looked around cautiously, unable to determine the direction of the siren. They could only scurry away with their heads in their hands.
It was at this moment, Bella took Mike’s hand and started to run while pulling him along.
“What are you waiting for? Run, now!”

Bella’s hair fluttered in the wind. From this angle, all that could be seen was her resolute profile and the top of her head.
The wind howled in its pursuit, but it couldn’t catch up with them.
For the first time, Mike experienced a different kind of emotion.
Several burly men gradually realized that the alarm was set off by Bella. Then, they chased after them. while cursing and grumbling.
As Bella saw that the distance between them decreased steadily.
Shea pulled Mike with her as she turned the corner.
The two of them hid outside a doorway, where a pillar conveniently concealed their figures.
The few burly men who were chasing them found them disappeared suddenly. They looked at each other with faces filled with confusion..
Bella, with one hand still holding onto Mike, looked outside with a vigilant expression.
Only after making sure that everyone had left, she finally let out a sigh of relief and began to gasp for air heavily.
“How did you offend those people? Didn’t you just graduate?” Bella asked, catching her breath..
Mike didn’t say a word, his face was just very red. He kept staring at their hands where the two of them were connected.
Bella only realized that after following his gaze.
