NovelEnglishChapter 67
Xylie realized that she had run into a scoundrel. She
swiftly spun on her heel to leave.
“Haha! Don’t go, pretty!” A lackey wearing a gold chain
grabbed her. Licking his lips, he declared, “This is your
lucky day! My boss, Rat, has taken a fancy to you! Take
a seat and have a few drinks with him!”
“I… I don’t know him!” Xylie argued even as she
struggled.
“Haha, you don’t even know Rat? Have you heard of the
renowned Mr. Webber in the southern area of
Yeringham, then? Rat is his sworn brother!” the man
wearing a gold chain proclaimed with a smug grin.
Samuel enjoyed great popularity in Yeringham,
especially among the various major nightclubs and
bars. No one was a stranger to his reputation.
Xylie adamantly shook her head and struggled
desperately.
“Damn it! As long as you agree to keep me company
tonight, all this money will be yours!”
Following that, Rat Lauer slapped a stack of bills onto
the table. From the looks of it, it was at least tens of
thousands.
He had picked up girls from the bar countless times,

said and done, they protested for the sake of money.
Many of them instantly changed their tune upon
seeing the stack of bills awaiting them.
However, Xylie did not even spare it a single glance.
She continued struggling and countered icily, “Sorry,
but you’re mistaken! I’m not a bar hostess. If you need
one, I can help to notify someone to come over and
serve you.”
Having said that, she pivoted to leave.
“Damn it, what a b*tch! You don’t want to do things the
nice way, huh?”
Going off the deep end, Rat smashed a beer bottle at
her feet.
Crash!
The sound of the beer bottle shattering had the whole
bar plunging into silence in a flash.
“Take a step further if you dare! I’ll kill you!” Rat
threatened in a glacial voice.
That snagged the attention of a number of people.
“What are the lot of you looking at? We might just
gouge your eyes out!”
Each of Rat’s lackeys was more arrogant than the last.
They pointed at the other patrons and cursed them
out.
The people around did not even dare watch the show
anymore, much less attempt to be a knight in shining
armor and save the damsel in distress.
After all, it was clear as day that the group of men was
not to be trifled with.
Xylie did her utmost best to remain calm, but her
palms had long since gone damp with sweat. She
wanted to leave yet did not dare do so, making for a
pitiful sight.
Mistakenly assuming that she had given up resisting,
Rat reached out to grope her thigh.
“Haha, your leg is fair and supple, making me salivate,
pretty!”
“Ah! Stop it, you scoundrel!”
In her moment of panic, Xylie slapped the man across
the face.
Slap!
At once, the air seemingly froze.
Rat had been in the underground circles for a long.
time, and he had never been struck by a woman.
Worse still, the incident happened in public, causing
him great humiliation.
In the blink of an eye, the group of men smashed
everything madly and even pushed Xylie to the
ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was their first time encountering such an obstinate
woman, but they believed that anyone would end up
begging for mercy at their hands.
She’s dead today!
“How reprehensible!”
Seething inwardly, Yoel gritted his teeth at the side, his
hands balled into fists.
Regretfully, he was scrawny and dared not step out at
all. All of a sudden, his gaze flickered. When he caught
sight of Emmanuel, his mind whirred at warp speed.
Everyone in Cloud Construction knows that he’s the
man who handled Mr. Webber and ensured that the
project could progress smoothly. Since he can even
deal with Mr. Webber, he must be capable of doing the
same with these few ruffians!
At that thought, he clenched his jaw and implored,
“Please save Xylie, Mr. Lowe!”
In truth, Emmanuel would have lent Xylie a hand
without the man having to make that request since
the ruffians had gone overboard.
Nonetheless, he seized advantage of the opportunity
and asked, “Can you help me amend the logo if I were
to help her?”
Yoel gritted his teeth. “I don’t dare promise you
anything, but I’ll try my best!”
“Deal!”
Immediately, Emmanuel stood up and walked out of
the booth.
