Natasha had absolute confidence and she wasn’t worried about the group of soldiers at all. After all, she was a descendent of the Mitchell family and the only daughter of Alex Mitchell! As she thought about this, she suddenly gained confidence and lifted her chin to look at Joel, who was much taller than her, and yelled, “If you’re brave enough, tell me your number and unit! I’ll make sure you won’t get away so easily!”
Joel glared at her, eyes scorching but a cold expression on his face.
Upon hearing, Sophia hurriedly added oil to the fire. “General, let’s just leave. She’s the daughter of Alex Mitchell, who is the director of Mitchell Group. Her father is also the head of the Mitchell family…”
Joel snorted.
“What rank are you? How dare you call yourself a general?” However, Joel was too lazy to bother with Natasha because it was pointless to quarrel with a person like her. He glanced at his watch and realized the party was starting soon and as Joel was the host, it wouldn’t look good if he were to be late. He turned to Sophia and said, “Let’s go.”
Sophia didn’t say anything and merely followed silently behind Joel. It seems that Joel doesn’t want to cause trouble. They are the Mitchells, after all. Since Joel didn’t want to create trouble, Sophia didn’t bother to make a scene either. Besides, she was getting hungry too.
However, Joel only took two steps forward before he heard Natasha’s dark voice coming from behind him. “Did I say you could leave?” As soon as she finished speaking, one of her bodyguards quickly pressed Joel’s shoulders. There was an African among Natasha’s bodyguards who stood at slightly over two meters, which made him one head taller than Joel. The African bodyguard pressed his hand firmly on Joel’s shoulder, not saying a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Many soldiers watching seemed to want to attack but they didn’t make a move. Instead, each of them stood idly by as they watched the drama unfold. Joel barked a laugh and suddenly fought back. He clamped the bodyguard’s hand that was on his shoulder and poked at his acupuncture point, hard. The African bodyguard instantly screamed in agony. Then, Joel turned around and kicked the bodyguard’s hip in a swift motion. With that, the bodyguard fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Seeing this, Natasha’s other bodyguard jumped in to attack Joel. This bodyguard, on the other hand, was short and quick. He was really cunning and his attacks were fast as he focused on hitting Joel’s lower body. However, Joel quickly fought back and with just a few moves, the other bodyguard fell to the ground. Joel pressed him onto the ground in a standard military movement before kicking him hard. Even at a glance, everyone could tell that he was trained.
Natasha stared at the two bodyguards on the ground. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she staggered back a few steps. Looking at Joel in disbelief, she screamed in horror, “You… How dare you… Do you know who I am? My uncle is…”
Joel really didn’t want to waste his time talking to her so he casually put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave. “Let’s go,” he said softly to Sophia. At that, Sophia hurriedly followed behind him, not forgetting to turn around to glance at Natasha in triumph.
Thinking that Natasha’s father might be one of the murderers that killed her father, Sophia couldn’t help but gloat. The group of bystanders disappeared in an instant, coming and going like the wind, leaving an outraged Nathasha and her two fallen bodyguards rooted to the spot. Natasha glared fiercely in the direction that Sophia and Joel left and thought, Just you wait! Meanwhile, Sophia obediently followed Joel to the place they were having the party. On the way, Joel suddenly turned around and said to her, “The next time you want to teach someone a lesson, just be blunt.”
Sophia immediately blushed. Joel had seen through her intentions in one glance and she was extremely embarrassed about it. Smiling awkwardly, she muttered, “Thank you, general.”
After a while, as if he had suddenly realized that he had said something insensitive, he added, “I’m not blaming you.” Sophia nodded and replied, “I know.”
Joel looked at her, as if there was something else he wanted to say, but in the end he held back. If he really wanted to teach an ignorant person like Natasha a lesson, all he had to do was give a simple order…
They had reserved a really big VIP room and were greeted by the sight of many people, most of them men. There were some women too, but it was obvious that they were family members. Seeing this, Sophia felt awkward and quietly tugged on Joel’s shirt.
