Estelle isn't exactly part of Victor's clan. Maybe because of the hardships she faced when she was little, Jonathan has developed a distaste for the Victors.
Estelle shook her head, "Nah, just leave him be."
Victor left, feeling bummed out about not getting a job.
Estella watched his retreating figure, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
After dinner, the three of them hopped in the car and headed for the horse ranch.
But this time they weren't there to ride horses, they were there to play some real-life CS.
On the southeast side of the ranch, near the hills, there was a real-life CS combat zone. Depending on the difficulty level, there were several battlegrounds like factory ruins, glacier fields, jungle warfare, graveyard treasure hunt and so on.
By the time Estelle and the others arrived, there was already a long line of people gearing up and getting ready to enter.
Jonathan went to handle the admission procedures while Estelle and Henson decided on the battleground. Henson wanted to try the graveyard treasure hunt but thought it might be too intense, so they decided on the jungle warfare instead.
While they were discussing, a guy in camouflage gear was eyeing Estelle, grinning, "Hey, is this your first time here?"
Estelle simply nodded, "Can I help you?"
The guy chuckled, "Join our team, I'll have your back."
Estelle turned away, not wanting to engage.
Seeing Estelle's beauty, the guy persisted, stepping closer and teasing, "I've played plenty of times. I've got a ton of experience. Stick with me, I'll lead you to victory."
Henson glared at him, "Back off, dude!"
"Oh, look at the little boy trying to play hero for the pretty lady! Maybe wait a few more years, kid!" The guy sneered at Henson and reached out to ruffle his hair.
Henson swiftly grabbed his wrist and judo flipped him onto the ground!
Ryan and his crew were about to leave. Estelle didn't want to stir up trouble, so she said, "It's all good now."
Jonathan watched them leave, his expression somber. He didn't say anything else but told Estelle and Henson to go get changed.
When Estelle came out of the changing room, there was a girl standing in the narrow corridor, engrossed in her phone.
The corridor was tight, and the girl was standing smack in the middle. Even though she saw Estelle, she made no move to let her pass.
Estelle calmly asked, "Could you please move?"
The girl, with her hair dyed green and exuding a rebellious vibe, turned to look at Estelle, "Was it your little brother who knocked Ryan down earlier?"
Estelle replied, "No, it was me."
The girl snorted in disbelief, "Ryan was being nice to you just now. You better appreciate it!"
