Chapter 491 None of Them Have Brains
Elise’s expression darkened. “I really don’t understand how you are still able to flirt around even when your life is in danger right now.”
“It’s not my fault that you are too beautiful. I can’t help myself from falling for you as soon as I see you, so you must take some responsibility for this too.” Kenneth pretended to be weak and sorrowful.
“In that case, I probably shouldn’t even appear so that you won’t be distracted. I don’t have to get into trouble too,” Elise said ruthlessly as she loosened her grip on him after helping him regain his balance.
Kenneth rubbed the spot where he was hit, a cheeky grin on his face. “I believe you won’t turn a blind eye to my troubles, Miss Sinclair.”
“You’re wrong. I will.” Elise shot him a cold stare.
He pouted at that, slightly disappointed that he did not elicit much reaction from her.
“Cut the crap. None of you are able to escape today. Get them!” At this point, the man who managed to hit Kenneth spat on the ground and tightened his hold on the wooden baton in his hand.
With that, the group of men immediately got up and ran toward them.
Elise kicked the person who was the first to reach her and used the impact to sprint across the wall before she landed behind them. Then, she took out her silver needles and sealed the meridians of four of them.
Their muscles froze and they sank to the ground, having seizures.
When the remaining people saw this, they did not dare to get closer to her even though they had weapons in their hands.
Who on earth is this woman? She actually defeated four of our guys in the blink of an eye!
The leader of the group ran toward them and yelled in disbelief, “Don’t worry! We are from Dukethorn, after all. What haven’t we encountered? If we catch this woman, we will get a hundred thousand!”
Money was the root of all evil. The influence of money was apparent as soon as it was mentioned. Upon hearing the words ‘a hundred thousand’, the fighters immediately became different.
At this point, their initial fear and hesitation turned to excitement as they calculated the odds of getting the biggest share based on when they would start their attacks.
Soon, someone charged toward Elise with a loud yell, followed by the rest.
Elise did not avoid them. Instead, she looked at them impassively as she touched the spray in her pocket.
It was given to her by Claude when he was still around, and it was made of hallucinative ingredients. It could make the victims quickly lose their consciousness, a much better way compared to her silver needle attack.
If she had slept better just now, she would definitely use these guys as her training partners but as she was not used to the bed, she was not well-rested. Judging by the current situation, it was better to end the fight as soon as possible.
Elise’s fingers tightened around the small spray bottle. Just as she was about to take it out, a loud yell rang from behind the fighters.
“Stop, all of you!”
They froze before turning around in hesitation. Though their leader was full of arrogance and fighting spirit just now, he was already subdued by Kenneth. The latter had placed a huge knife, that did not suit his looks in the least, at the leader’s neck as he admired and picked on his fingers with his other hand.
Elise loosened her grip on the spray bottle as she waited for the drama to unfold.
He’s actually quite smart, seeing how he knows that it’s the most efficient to catch the leader first.
Unfortunately, he’s not very good at fighting. There are so few people here, yet he got himself injured.
The leader lowered his head to look at the knife. Upon seeing that it was millimeters away from his skin, he gulped in trepidation. “Bro, you’re not a local, are you? To tell you the truth, I’m from the Carnegie Family. It won’t bring you any good to offend me.”
Kenneth grunted, thereafter flicking his fingernails and blowing on his fingers to get rid of the dust. Then, he turned around and asked indifferently, “So what?”
There was a pause as he deliberately slid the knife across the man’s neck repeatedly. “Are you implying that I can’t afford to offend the Carnegie Family and that I should let you go? Should I kneel and kowtow to you when I admit my mistakes?”
