As he was groaning because of the pain, Aleigha turned around and dashed towards the parking lot.
Lennon rubbed his eyes and hurried to catch up. Aleigha had learned close- range combat for a long time.
Although she couldn't launch too hard a blow, it was well enough to deal with Lennon.
Since Lennon never went to work out, his lack of combat skills was reasonably justified.
Being skinny and short, Aleigha gave off an appearance that she was quite weak, which made Lennon falsely underestimate her.
She ran back to the parking lot in one breath, but Lennon's car was tightly locked. And her bag was also nowhere to be found.
She could only grit her teeth and continue to run back.
Lennon got back to the car and chased after Aleigha in a fit of anger and shame.
Aleigha tried hard to search for Tanner's small courtyard, just around the Calm Lake.
There was the sound of a car coming quickly behind her. Aleigha, being swift and agile, dodged behind a huge rock.
Lennon's car hurtled towards the rock as if he had gone berserk.
With a loud noise, he heard the sound of parts splashing after the collision.
Aleigha got up in a hurry and continued to run.
Lennon's car was a high-end off-road vehicle. It was expensive, and even after crashing, only the head of the car was slightly damaged.
Seeing Aleigha continue to run forward, he quickly drove back from the rock and kept chasing after Aleigha.
There was not much shelter on both sides of the road. Aleigha gritted her teeth and ran toward the woods.
The man driving behind her seemed to have gone completely whacko and chased after her relentlessly. Several times, it almost hit her, but fortunately, she dodged in time.
After a while, Aleigha finally saw a familiar courtyard. Aleigha slightly gritted her teeth.
Twisting and turning, she ran into the courtyard before she heard a deafening sound behind her.
The gargoyle at the gate of the yard was smashed to pieces.
Hearing the loud noise, Tanner rushed out. When he saw how messy Aleigha appeared to be, he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.
"Quick, there's a madman coming after me," Aleigha said as she gasped for breath.
Propping her hands on her knees, Aleigha could feel her mind was hanging almost by a thread, prone to break down any minute now.
Tanner's face darkened. He turned around and entered the house. A moment later, he came out with a shotgun in his hand.
Lennon stopped the car and rushed in angrily. Just as his foot stepped into the outer door, a certain hard project was pressed against his forehead.
"Get out!"
Tanner raised his gun, bellowing.
"Shoot me, yeah, come on, right f*cking here, you miserable f*ck!"
Tanner could see how delirious the man in front of him had gone judging by the fact that he didn't flinch an inch when faced with a gun.
"Yeah? You want a bullet in the head, here it f*cking comes, you piece of sh*t!" Tanner said as he laid his fingers against the trigger.
He pulled the trigger and saw Lenno stood there motionlessly with his eyes closed.
But his trembling hands betrayed him.
"I thought you were quite tough, then prey tell why your f*cking hands are shaking so much, you f*cking coward!"
"Get the f*ck out of here!"
Lennon opened his eyes and glared at Tanner. "Who are you? That woman is mine."
"Yours? Then what about Adrian Xiao? This is your last warning, get out of here. You are a sheer and outraging insult to this place!"
Lennon glared at Aleigha angrily. After a while, he turned around and left.
Until she heard the car leaving.
Aleigha heaved a sigh of relief.
"Who's gonna pay for the gargoyle at the gate, you or Adrian?" Tanner put away his gun and walked out of the door, looking at the pieces of stones which used to form a dignified gargoyle.
"I'll pay for it. Don't worry."
