Chapter 216 Instead Defeat
In the evening, once Emrys and Ninette had filled their stomachs, like a young couple, she happily
looped her arm through Emrys‘ as they strolled down the street.
They ended up strolling around for over two hours.
Ninette didn’t show the slightest sign of fatigue, and from time to time, she pointed at some peculiar
places, telling Emrys, “Look quickly, Emrys. This place used to be a favorite among the wealthy
women. And this one, and this one too.”
Emrys asked with a puzzled expression, “Nina, how do you know so much? Could it be that you…”
“Hehe!” Ninette blinked with a smile and said, “Because I’m a journalist, I often conduct undercover
investigations and such. However, I assure you, I’ve never done anything out of line.”
“Of course, I believe you,” Emrys said.
At last, the reason for Ninette’s corruption was found. It turned out that she was influenced during
various undercover investigations.
All right, given the circumstances, I will forgive you for the matter concerning the study materials on the
computer. Emrys quickly came to understand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two were strolling when suddenly, a man with a scarred face approached them. They had almost
passed him by when, unexpectedly, the man with the scarred face turned back, reaching out to block
Ninette’s path.
“Well, well, who do we have here looking so familiar? Turns out it’s our Beautiful Reporter!” The scar-
faced man stared at Ninette, smirking.
Ninette’s face changed instantly, and she tried to leave with Emrys. However, the scar–faced man
swiftly blocked their way, sneering coldly, “What’s the rush, Beautiful Reporter? Why not visit my place
again today? You might find some unexpected surprises!”
Emrys immediately understood. It must have been during Ninette’s previous undercover investigation
that she had inadvertently revealed her identity, which had consequently caught the attention of the
scar–faced man.
Emrys didn’t waste words, instead, he coldly uttered two words. “Move aside!”
“Well, isn’t this brat quite audacious?” The scar–faced man instantly shifted his gaze onto Emrys, but
then narrowed his eyes and said, “Hey, kid, you’ve got a good look. How about considering working at
my place? There will definitely be benefits beyond your expectations.”
His gaze was intriguing. It was clear at first glance that he wasn’t involved in any legitimate line of work.
Ninette’s face was icy cold as she took Emrys‘ hand and said, “Let’s go, Emrys. We don’t need to
bother with this mad dog. I refuse to believe that he would dare to do anything to us in broad daylight.”
Emrys nodded.

However, the moment he took a step, he suddenly heard the scar–faced man bellow, “Brat, how dare
you steal my wallet!”
Clearly, the scar–faced man had no intention of letting the two off the hook. The so–called theft of his
wallet was nothing more than a pretext for picking a fight.
Ninette said indignantly, “When did we ever steal your wallet? Don’t make false accusations!”
The scar–faced man sneered, “If you didn’t steal my wallet, then explain this. Why did my wallet.
disappear after I exchanged a few words with you? If you didn’t steal it, then who did?”
“You…”
Ninette was seething with anger, ready to argue with the scar–faced man, when she suddenly heard
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmrys speak up. “Nina, as you said earlier, this is a mad dog. What’s the point in reasoning with such a
creature?”
The scar–faced man’s expression darkened instantly. He barked, “Brat, watch your tone when you
speak.”
“Oh? What’s with my tone?” Emrys retorted.
“Just by looking at you, I can tell you’ve never been beaten up before. You’re trying to show off in front
of a beautiful woman, but you better understand who you’re dealing with. I’m not someone to be trifled
with!” The scar–faced man clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking ominously as he prepared to strike.
However, he suddenly noticed a slight chill in Emrys‘ eyes. In a swift motion, Emrys raised one leg, his
heel soaring higher than the scar–faced man’s head before he forcefully brought it down.
Bang!
The scar–faced man collapsed on the spot, clutching his blood–drenched head and screaming
incessantly.
Instant defeat!
Emrys didn’t spare another glance at the scar–faced man. Instead, he turned to Ninette and said,
“Nina, there’s no need to waste so much breath on a mad dog. If he tries to b
ite, a swift kick will do the trick.”
