Zeke pushed Nancy and Sofia into the car. “Wait right there. Don’t come out!”
He turned around and charged at the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, Zeke was already surrounded by a large group of men.
His figure disappeared and was nowhere to be found anymore.
Nancy panicked. “What on earth is he doing? Is he still pretending to be a hero at this time?”
Sofia started crying. “Let’s think of something to help him. Look at him, he’s so skinny. They’ll definitely kill him.”
Nancy started the engine. “I’m gonna knock them down!”
Yet, the moment she saw the gears in the manual transmission, she did not know what to do anymore. Nancy only knew how to drive cars with automatic transmission.
She got nervous. “Sofia, do you know how to use manual transmission?”
Sofia looked confused. “What is that?”
Hopelessness was written all over Nancy’s face. It was clear that Sofia did not know how to drive at all.
The commotion escalated, and Nancy had to do something. “F**k, screw it!”
She shifted to a gear randomly and was ready to drive through the crowd.
But it was the fifth gear. The engine of her car died right away.
“F**k!” She cursed loudly. “I’ve told you to change to a new car, but you just f**king won’t listen! And this is how you’re gonna get yourself killed!”
“Nancy, look!” Sofia suddenly looked out of the window and exclaimed.
“What?” Nancy also looked out of the window curiously.
She took a glance and was shocked by what she saw.
What... What just happened?
Hundreds of men were all lying on the ground in pain, and they had lost the will to fight.
Zeke, on the other hand, stood still in the middle, looking absolutely valiant and formidable!
There was not a single injury on his body at all!
While they were still figuring out how to drive the car, he managed to take them down single-handedly! Nancy was amazed.
How could this man be so powerful? Wait a minute. His back looks familiar... That is the back and body shape of my hero! The similarity is almost 90%!
Nancy started piecing all the puzzles together. Her hero also drove the same old Santana, and Zeke had rescued her several times...
Oh my God!
Nancy covered her mouth as a crazy thought flashed across her mind.
Zeke, whom she often called a kept-man, could actually be her hero!
She closed her eyes in desperation.
How could something as melodramatic as this happen to me?
All this while, she had imagined her hero would appear in a stately manner and confess his love to her.
Yet, Zeke was her best friend’s man!
Just like that, all her hopes and dreams shattered.
Nope! There is a possibility that Zeke might not be my hero too. I could be wrong. I’ll just have to ask him to clarify things.
Zeke lit a cigarette and puffed at it.
He looked at Michael, who at that point froze like a statue, and smiled at him.
To Michael, that smile was the most terrifying thing he had seen in this world!
He got the shock of life and was ready to run away.
Zeke randomly kicked a stone he found around his feet, and like a bullet, the stone hit the back of Michael’s head.
He screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Then, Zeke flicked his finger, and the lit cigarettes dropped straight into Michael’s pocket.
Michael, who had yet to fully regain consciousness, was not aware of it.
All of a sudden, an extended Lincoln town car drove right into the project department.
