Ben found himself increasingly unable to parry Ashlyn’s blows.
He looked around for help but all of his men had been incapacitated by Ashlyn. Darn! Am I supposed to let this woman get away like that? As expected of Kris Harvey! She won’t be easy to deal with! Only the clan leader could deal with her!
Ashlyn’s expression turned cold and exuded a chilling pressure.
She struck Ben square on the chest.
Ben stumbled backwards and hit the ground hard. He struggled to get up, but his legs failed him.
“Ben!”
“Ben!”
Several of his juniors crawled toward him.
But the leader waved them off and sighed as he watched Ashlyn leave, “The Zene Clan has suffered its first defeat in history! However, if the opponent is Kris Harvey, then it would be worth it.”
He sighed once more and commanded, “Let’s go back.”
A tall man greeted her the moment she set foot into the airport.
Lucas raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Honey, I didn’t expect you to be in such a rush to meet me.”
Ashlyn was dumbfounded. I should’ve seen this coming!
She got into a defensive posture and threatened, “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you, Lucas.”
“I’m sure you won’t, but will you still be able to beat me after exhausting your strength to deal with the Zene clan?” Lucas inquired as he gripped her wrist.
It was swollen.
Damn it, I told them not to hurt her!
He asked out of concern, “Does it hurt?”
“Spare me the hypocrisy. You were the one who sent them after me!” Ashlyn scowled.
Looks like I won’t be able to avoid it this time.
Lucas checked the time and noticed that he still had some time before takeoff, so he dragged Ashlyn to the pre-departure meeting room.
They passed by the departure hall and went through the staff entrance.
Lucas was holding Ashlyn’s hand this entire time. The sight of a tall and handsome man together with a stunningly beautiful lady attracted many stares.
Jenny, Nancy, and the others were preparing for their flight.
