The six men surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. Each of them looked mean.
“Let’s do this together! Kill this b*stard!” A large bald man shouted as he stared at Stanley angrily.
Reflexively, Xyla took off her coat and tossed it at Stanley before she pushed him behind her protectively with one arm.
“Stand still and don’t move. I can handle these people,” she said.
Xyla moved quickly while maintaining vigilance. Compared to her gentle mannerism earlier, she seemed so much cooler now.
Stanley felt as if something had touched him gently somewhere deep in his heart.
In his life, this was the first time a woman protected him during a time of crisis.
Silently, he placed the coat over her body.
“Stand still and don’t move. I’ll protect you,” he said.
As soon as he spoke, a large man swung his metal bat at Stanley’s head.
Remaining perfectly calm, Stanley kicked the man multiple times and sent him flying. It all happened within a single breath.
In that instant, Xyla felt as if she was watching a well-made action film. Meanwhile, Stanley was like the perfect male protagonist in the film.
Closely after that, the other men began charging at Stanley.
Now, Xyla no longer cared about anything else. She quickly kicked her heels off and took off the large coat around her before tossing it at the face of one of the large men.
After a second, Xyla charged into the battlefield and fought next to Stanley.
With their quick reflexes, Xyla and Stanley were able to strike their opponents accurately each time.
Whenever they attacked together, they did not miss a beat.
While Xyla was skilled, Stanley was even better. Without exerting much energy, he was able to knock two of the men to the ground, killing two birds with one stone.
Perhaps it was because Stanley seemed very capable, Xyla did not feel panicky at all.
