The goons were momentarily stunned, but then they snapped into action, hoisting their steel pipes and charging straight toward
Astrid!
As they ran, they bellowed, "Boys, let's do this! Take her down!"
"Con, let's avenge our boss! There's just two of them; we're a crowd - no way we're scared!"
"Let's catch this bitch and her man, strip ‘em down and parade them in the town square for a show!"
Astrid, hearing their taunts, let a dark energy flicker across her face. She bent down to pick up a steel pipe that had fallen next to
one of the thugs, slinging it over her shoulder and, instead of retreating, she charged headlong into the fray!
Elio, seeing things go south, immediately dashed to join her.
With his long legs giving him an edge, Ereached the mob at the stas Astrid. He spun around with a roundhouse kick
that struck a charging thug squarely in the shoulder!
Astrid heard the crisp snap, and the man went down, clutching his shoulder and crashing into his buddy behind him!
And the steel pipe? It was now firmly in Elio's grip!

flower.
The scent of blood filled the air, and Estood there like a warrior from hell, his formidable presence instilling a flicker of fear in the
goons.
Astrid, stunned by Elio's ferocity, paused for a second before whistling, "Not too shabby, boy!"
Elooked down, "Boy? It's "hubby," if you please."
"Ha! In your dreams!" Astrid shot back, then, using his shoulder for leverage, she spun around and brought the pipe down on the
head of a thug trying to blindside Elio!
Their moves were ruthless, precise, and deadly, their momentum instantly overpowering the thugs.
Carson Fisher and his men, waiting in the wings to back them up, felt a chill down their spine as they watched the thugs drop one
by one.
One of the bodyguards muttered in awe, "Holy cow, is our boss's wife really that badass?"
Carson simply replied, "She's always been a force to reckon with."
Before long, Eand Astrid had knocked out the whole gang, sincapacitated by Astrid's swift and toxic maneuvers.
In short, not a single one was left standing.
The bodyguards, surveying the scene of the fallen, felt a sudden sense of job insecurity.
Carson was still in a daze when his phone vibrated.
Looking down, he saw a message from E- [Take care of it]
By the the snapped back to reality, Eand Astrid were already driving out of the parking garage.
After fighting alongside Astrid, Ecould tell she was looking at him differently. If he had known that a brawl would earn him such
regard, he would have thrown down more often.
With the upcoming adventure in Serenity Peaks, he was determined to shine and hopefully, by the end of the recording, secure his
place for good.
With the destination being more dangerous than ever, Astrid spent the night prepping all sorts of gear.
Her brothers called one after another, issuing warnings and advice, even typically silent Rickon spent over five minutes on the
phone with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe crew had briefed everyone with precautions due to the special nature of the location, and the backpacks for this adventure
were noticeably larger than before.
Even though the show hadn't officially started, fans were already flooding all the channels.
