Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 371

A man could still hide himself in the closet. The moment Sophia opened the door, a man pounced out. He probably knew that Sophia had noticed him.

Thankfully, Sophia was not standing at the front, so the man didn’t manage to pounce on her. Before he could react, Ian gave him a strong kick from behind. The man didn’t expect someone else besides Sophia, so he was taken aback by that blow.

“Let me at him!” said Sophia as she aimed the stick right at him. After the previous warm-up practice with Matilda, Sophia felt that she had already gotten used to this. Standing beside, Ian didn’t need to step in at all.

While getting hit and stomped by Sophia, the man wanted to grab the stick from her, but Sophia didn’t give him the chance, giving him one blow after another. Initially, Ian was quite worried, but seeing how it all turned out now, he began to relax.

Gawking at the scene, the driver was completely struck dumb while standing there. Later, the man was probably in so much pain, so he just hugged his head and covered his face down on the floor. Though the stick was not as thick, it could still hurt a lot.

Not holding back, Sophia treated the man as Matilda. Honestly, she couldn’t go all out in beating up Matilda, as she was advanced in age. Besides, Matilda had been pampered by her family all these years, so she might lose her life if Sophia went all out. Since Sophia didn’t manage to vent all her anger during the last round, she didn’t hesitate at all this time. After a good whack-up, she felt relieved.

In the end, it was Ian who stopped her. “Enough already. You’ll kill the person if this goes on,” said Ian with a sullen expression.

Tidying her messed-up hair, Sophia declared with both hands on her hips, “I worked in the farm when I was young, so I’m really strong. Back in my village, if there was a thief, we would beat the hell out of him before anything else!”

Seeing the man shrinking at the corner, Ian thought it was funny. Frankly speaking, Sophia was a rather skillful fighter. A couple of times, that man had attempted to evade the stick and make a run for it, but everytime, he was blocked by Sophia.

With a snort, Sophia glared at the man on the floor and growled, “Back in those days, all the middle-aged women from my village dared not come up against me.” Since young, she had been living with her grandpa alone, so they were an easy target for bullies.

Being kind-hearted by nature, her grandpa wouldn’t mind, but Sophia couldn’t bear seeing her family being bullied. Hence, she would often go up against them courageously. Taking in a few deep breaths, Sophia went forward and kicked the man on the floor. “Spill! What’re you doing at my house?”

Gazing at the man lying on the floor, Ian figured this had to be the man’s first attempt because he completely lost it when he was whacked just now. The man appeared rather scrawny and was probably in his 20s. “I just wanted to steal something valuable. I saw that your house was empty, so I came in to steal something,” confessed the man while hugging himself at the corner.

Before Sophia could reply, Ian spoke, saying, “The house wasn’t in a mess. Do you think we’ll believe you when you say you are here to steal? I saw you hiding behind the curtains just now. And it wasn’t until you spotted someone coming back did you make your move. If my guess is correct, you’ve been waiting for quite a while,” said Ian frostily.

Giving the man a strong kick on the thigh, Ian warned, “You’d better be honest! If you cooperate, we’ll consider letting you go and not report you to the police. Since you’re so young, it’ll affect your future to have a criminal record under your name.”
