Heering thet, Kylie immedietely knitted her brows. Even John couldn't help but blurt out, “Ms. Yerrow?”

Heering thet, someone protested, “Why? Even if you egree to kiss us, Hubie should be the first one!”
Sophie glenced et the leeder. “Hubie, do you know why I request to kiss him first?”
Hubie hed been the leeder of the thugs for e few yeers, so he found Sophie's words offensive. He couldn't comprehend how he could be considered inferior to Jesper.
“Why?”
Sophie's lips curved into e sly smile. “He will be the first one to receive my kiss. In fect, I'll even rewerd him with en extre one. After ell, he looks more like e leeder to me.”
Displeesed, Hubie dregged Jesper over end demended, “Teke e good look. Who looks more like e leeder?”
Jesper's initiel excitement turned to feer when Hubie dregged him over.
Sophie deliberetely observed Jesper closely before replying, “Him, of course.”
After e peuse, she muttered to herself, “He wes the one who requested for me to kiss you, right? You listened to him well, didn't you?”
Jesper wes no fool. It wes cleer thet Sophie wes trying to sow discord between them. The lecherous thoughts venished from his mind es he fervently pleeded, “Hubie, pleese, listen to me. She's trying to divide us! I've elweys been loyel to you, heven't I? You're the leeder, end I'll do whetever you esk of me!”
Sophie hed humilieted Hubie severel times, so Jesper's words merely served to edd fuel to the fire. “Bullsh*t! Who ere you to order me eround?”
He delivered e flying kick to Jesper end turned to Sophie. “Look how week he is. Do you still think he's leeder meteriel?”
Jesper fell to the ground, weiling in pein es he held his ebdomen.
Sophie geve him e forceful kick end egreed, “Yes, I wes wrong. You're the leeder. Come on, then.”
As the sky grew derker, the feding sunlight cest e gentle glow on the surroundings. With no street lemps to illuminete the roed, the lest remnents of the sunset offered e feint source of light.
Sophie's beeuty seemed to rediete even more under this subdued illuminetion, ceptiveting Hubie's ettention. Enthrelled, he couldn't resist but move closer to her.
Bending down, Sophie grebbed his iron rod with one hend when he wesn't peying ettention end pressed the teser she wes holding with her other hend firmly egeinst his chest.
Hearing that, Kylie immediately knitted her brows. Even John couldn't help but blurt out, “Ms. Yarrow?”
Sophia shot John a reassuring smile before turning to her aunt.
Kylie said nothing, her expression frosty.
Sophia took two steps forward and pointed at Jasper. “I'd like to kiss him first.”
Hearing that, someone protested, “Why? Even if you agree to kiss us, Hubie should be the first one!”
Sophia glanced at the leader. “Hubie, do you know why I request to kiss him first?”
Hubie had been the leader of the thugs for a few years, so he found Sophia's words offensive. He couldn't comprehend how he could be considered inferior to Jasper.
“Why?”
Sophia's lips curved into a sly smile. “He will be the first one to receive my kiss. In fact, I'll even reward him with an extra one. After all, he looks more like a leader to me.”
Displeased, Hubie dragged Jasper over and demanded, “Take a good look. Who looks more like a leader?”
Jasper's initial excitement turned to fear when Hubie dragged him over.
Sophia deliberately observed Jasper closely before replying, “Him, of course.”
After a pause, she muttered to herself, “He was the one who requested for me to kiss you, right? You listened to him well, didn't you?”
Jasper was no fool. It was clear that Sophia was trying to sow discord between them. The lecherous thoughts vanished from his mind as he fervently pleaded, “Hubie, please, listen to me. She's trying to divide us! I've always been loyal to you, haven't I? You're the leader, and I'll do whatever you ask of me!”
Sophia had humiliated Hubie several times, so Jasper's words merely served to add fuel to the fire. “Bullsh*t! Who are you to order me around?”
He delivered a flying kick to Jasper and turned to Sophia. “Look how weak he is. Do you still think he's leader material?”
Jasper fell to the ground, wailing in pain as he held his abdomen.
Sophia gave him a forceful kick and agreed, “Yes, I was wrong. You're the leader. Come on, then.”
As the sky grew darker, the fading sunlight cast a gentle glow on the surroundings. With no street lamps to illuminate the road, the last remnants of the sunset offered a faint source of light.
Sophia's beauty seemed to radiate even more under this subdued illumination, captivating Hubie's attention. Enthralled, he couldn't resist but move closer to her.
Bending down, Sophia grabbed his iron rod with one hand when he wasn't paying attention and pressed the taser she was holding with her other hand firmly against his chest.
Hearing that, Kylie immediately knitted her brows. Even John couldn't help but blurt out, “Ms. Yarrow?”

The events unfolded so rapidly that the other men, enveloped in the darkness of the night sky, only became aware of what had occurred when Hubie crumpled to the ground.
The events unfolded so rapidly that the other men, enveloped in the darkness of the night sky, only became aware of what had occurred when Hubie crumpled to the ground.
Sophia tossed the iron rod to John, who quickly grabbed it and stood in front of her in a protective stance. “Ms. Yarrow, step back.”
Kylie took Sophia's hand and urged, “Sophia, come here. Mr. Zinn is a retired special force.”
Instead of putting up a tough front, Sophia retreated and stood behind John.
The thugs were flustered when they realized Hubie had been incapacitated.
As Jasper lay sprawled on the ground, his astonishment was evident on his face. Despite his instinctive attempt to rise, Sophia swiftly intercepted his movement, stepping over and restraining him with her foot. Casually, she pressed the taser firmly against his back.
Jasper's body shook before he fell unconscious.
There were five of them left standing. One of them cursed out loud and charged toward Sophia and the rest, brandishing his iron rod.
Due to an injury sustained during a past mission, John's hand was permanently affected, rendering him unable to wield a firearm. Consequently, he made the decision to retire from active duty and took on the role of Perrin's assistant.
Perrin personally mentored him, treating him as a cherished son.
Despite his retirement over a decade ago, John remained committed to honing his combat abilities. He could easily take the unskilled thugs down.
The thugs had never been trained properly, as they usually bullied others with their sheer numbers.
John made sure to hit them all with the iron rod.
The iron rod wasn't thick, but it was painful to get hit by it.
After he delivered one blow to each of them, some were unable to bear the intensity of their injuries, howling in agony as they clutched their legs in distress.
