Excluding the man who had gone down, there were seven large men remaining in the house, each of them just as skilled as the other. After Jewel came back, she immediately fought against the men without saying a word. Although she was injured and her blood had stained her back and was dripping down her clothes, she didn’t make a sound.
Alex did not know how she managed to withstand her wounds. Upon seeing her condition, he was extremely taken aback. “Are you hurt?” Jewel was just about to tell him that she was all right when she saw a man charging at him, and she warned urgently, “Be careful!”
Her words were clearer than usual, and she didn’t have to exert herself as much as she did every time to make a sound. However, Alex barely had time to feel happy and worried, and could only instinctively dodge sideways and hold the man’s stick.
Slightly confused, the man tugged on the stick several times, but it didn’t budge. Meanwhile, Alex’s eyes were red with anger and full of bloodthirst as he yanked the stick fiercely, pulling it toward him. Then, without any hesitation, he slammed it on the man’s head, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud. After that, he did the same to another man, then another…
Normally, Jewel was more skilled than Alex, but as she was already injured, even if she felt all right, her response had slowed down. As she was fighting with the man in front of her, a man with a stick quietly crept toward her, wanting to take advantage of her vulnerability to make a sneak attack.
Terrified, Alex instinctively reached out to drag her over while striding over at the same time, naturally stopping behind her. Before he could warn Jewel to watch out, the stick had already come crashing down..
Bang! Jewel hid in Alex’s arms, and when she peered over in horror at the man behind her, she saw a trail of blood trickling down from his head. “Alex!” Afraid of scaring her, he hurriedly assured her, “I’m fine!”
Jewel wanted to examine his condition, but the men in the room simply did not spare them any time. Hence, she could only shield Alex behind her while she stood in front of him with a stick in her hands, as if she were his protector, swinging her arm strenuously toward the men who charged at them.
As Alex looked at the woman in front of him, the corners of his lips broke out into a small smile. Though she was so slender and petite, he knew that she would protect him well, unless she died. What a silly girl. The people in front of him began to blur a little, and he could not see well, but he seemed to hear the sound of running footsteps. Are Eugene’s men here?
He also heard Jewel shouting his name in a somewhat grating voice, which caused him to. smile. She owes me a favor now, right? He wanted her to owe him a debt that she could not repay for the rest of her life, and until the moment he lost consciousness, his lips were curled up in a satisfied smile.
He guessed it right. Eugene’s men had already rushed over, and a large fight had broken out in the room. As Eugene had brought over almost twenty men, and Alex and Jewel had already. taken care of the eight men, Eugene’s men. easily won the fight due to their large numbers.
Knowing that only death awaited them if they fell into the hands of these men, two of the men who were still able to move immediately jumped out of the window, while the rest were captured on the spot. Kyle immediately instructed, “Hurry up! Go downstairs and capture them!”
Several men responded, “Yes, sir!”
Saying that, they turned around and headed straight downstairs.
