Chapter 85 The Masked Savior
The few hooligans quickly surrounded the man with the clown mask.
“Committing such shameful atrocity towards a frail lady publicly. Where’s the justice in that? Or do you still call yourselves men?” growled the mysterious man in a deep voice.
This masked man was none other than Alex.
He was on his way home when he coincidentally witnessed the whole commotion.
Since he did not want Kate to recognize him, he put on a clown mask before stepping in to interfere.
“Justice?”
The young man guffawed upon hearing the ridiculous word. He snarled, “Justice is dead! I am the law. If you don’t get out of our way immediately, I will mess your face up!”
The other goons stared at Alex incredulously. What kind of day and age was this to have a masked wannabe hero suddenly appearing. The whole scene was just a comedic cliche.
“Why don’t you first remove your mask and show me your idiotic face for daring to block my way!” The young man’s voice rang out as a muscular goon reached out his hand to take off Alex’s mask.
Crack!
Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. As the first goon reached for his mask, Alex deftly twisted his wrist and broke it.
The big goon snorted in pain and grabbed his broken wrist.
“Damn it!” The young man raged and rushed towards Alex head-on.
The rest of the hooligans responded in kind. A scuffle thus ensued.
Whack! Bam! Pow!
Alex raised his fists calmly. With just a few maneuvers he easily sent his assailants flying.
His attacks were quick and strong, resulting in them all sprawled on the ground, dazed and perhaps even missing a few teeth.
Watching the defeated hooligans slumped on the cold hard concrete, Alex took out his phone and called Flynn.
“Are these men who are currently lying outside of Happy Living restaurant your goons? As members of the Sakura Club you don’t think they would stoop so low as to rob a lady in broad daylight? Go figure.” Having said that, he hung up while gazing at Kate.
At this moment, Kate was slumped on the ground. Her face was pale due to excessive bleeding from her thigh.
However, having just been rescued by a hero out of nowhere, she was surprised her prayers were answered. She was in awe and thus forgot about her pain momentarily.
“Thanks. Thank you for saving me.” Seeing Alex looking at her, she thanked him profusely. Due to losing too much blood, she could not speak coherently. She was still feeling dizzy as well.
Alex surveyed the situation. Blood was pooling on the ground. As he noticed Kate’s pale face, his features twisted into a frown.
He initially intended to leave as soon as he could but did not expect her to be injured like that.
Squaring his shoulders, he walked over to Kate, picked her up and carried her towards Happy Living restaurant.
He had to find a place to stop her bleeding as soon as possible or be faced with the danger of Kate dying due to excessive blood loss.
Kate bated her breath, still trying to reconcile the reality of being carried by her mysterious rescuer. Her heartbeat quickened. She blushed bright red. She had no idea what this masked savior would do to her.
“Find me a room to rest.” Alex hoarsely ordered the waitress the moment they entered the restaurant.
Seeing Kate’s bleeding thigh, the waitress nodded quickly and led them to a room.
“May I take off your pants?” Alex asked Kate bluntly.
“You… who are you?” Kate blushed as her heartbeat quickened, her mind tinged with fear.
I wonder how he looks under this mask. Could this hero be my white knight in shining armor that I have always fantasized about…
However, at this very moment, the reality shattered the fantasy in her heart.
She felt like she had just escaped out of the frying pan, only to be thrown into the fire next.
With the prowess that he had just shown, it was even more impossible to escape his clutches.
The waitress beside him was shell-shocked by his bluntness.
She thought that this weird, masked stranger was merely saving a damsel in distress, but unexpectedly…
