There was no one else on the empty street, so neither of them noticed it when
the heavily dressed man approached Keegan from another direction.
It was not until he got closer and suddenly pulled out a baseball bat from his
jacket that Stella screamed at Keegan to alert him.
However, it was already too late. The man forcefully swung the bat at the back
of Keegan’s head.
Stella’s pupils contracted, as she dropped the thermos in her hands. She
screamed for help and rushed toward Keegan.
Keegan felt a sharp pain in his head. He staggered and narrowly avoided the
second hit. He somehow managed to kick the attacker’s knee, causing him to
groan and kneel on the ground.
Keegan’s vision was going dark, but he used all his remaining strength to twist
the attacker’s arm behind his back and remove the mask from his face.
As soon as he saw the man’s face, a van came out of nowhere and sped toward
Stella.
Keegan was shocked, and his attention immediately shifted to Stella. He
stumbled toward Stella and shouted at her, telling her to run.
However, after just taking a few steps, he was struck from behind again. His
legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
He felt something warm seeping from his head, and then he heard Stella’s
heartbreaking cries.
He wanted to shout for her to run. But he could not make a sound, as his vision
gradually turned darker.
The van was just a distraction. Just as it was about to hit Stella, it swerved and
grazed Stella’s leg, causing her to fall. Then, it was driven toward the man not
far away.
The van’s rear door opened, and someone from inside the van violently pulled
Keegan inside. Just as the door was about to close, a hand suddenly clung to it.
The man in the backseat was shocked. Then, Stella sprayed something in his
eyes, instantly burning and blinding him.
“Fucking bitch!” the man cursed.
While the man was rubbing his eyes, Stella took the opportunity and secretly
threw her phone under the seat.
