Zuko was expressionless as he turned his face to look at the thugs and asked, "You can film, but my face will be exposed. Are you going to pay me or what?"
"What did you say?" The leader frowned. "Ha, so you're not stupid!"
"You'll have to buy a ticket to watch the movie," said Zuko.
"Do it now, I'm warning you! Or I'll cripple you and then throw you onto her. My job will be done!" snarled the leader.
Ignoring the man's presence, Zuko fixed his gaze directly on him. After a moment, a chuckle escaped his lips.
His chuckle sent shivers down their spines. As they prepared to teach him a lesson, he swiftly dodged their attack with remarkable agility. With a quick turn, he delivered a powerful kick to the person behind him, precisely targeting a vital point.
"Ah!" The leader rolled on the ground in pain. When the rest saw that, they dared not go forward and looked at Zuko nervously.
Zuko fought with the thugs in the small room.
Meanwhile, Lina, hearing the chaos and commotion around her, struggled to regain consciousness on the bed. She tried to get up, but the burning desire in her body was getting out of control…
As the fight gradually died down, leaving a scene of scattered people on the floor, Zuko's cold voice echoed. "Get out."
The thugs stumbled out clumsily, leaving their phones behind. Zuko picked up the devices and tossed them out the window. As he brushed off the dirt from his clothes, he suddenly remembered Lina lying on the bed and approached her slowly.
The girl's cheeks turned rosy, her breath quickening. Her eyes were closed, adorned with thick, curled lashes that added to her beauty. A cute tear mole adorned the corner of her left eye.
Zuko's gaze drifted into the distance for a moment before he snapped back to reality. He quickly surmised that Violet must have drugged her.
Though he initially didn't want to get involved, he approached nonetheless. After a brief moment of hesitation, he gently patted her face, his touch soft and reassuring.
"Wake up, miss," he said.
Lina was getting more and more uncomfortable as she felt someone touching her. Her body was burning, and the hand that was touching her was the only cold thing.
