Ernest burst laughing at Leah's surprised face and said, "I guess I managed to get all of them. No wait, you got that one."
Ernest looked at the man lying on the ground. He looked like he had been beaten up badly.
Leah followed his gaze and saw the man lying on the ground. A brief moment of fear welled up
"Why are you laughing? I'm scared to death." She was so afraid when she saw the four burly men. How would she know that Ernest knew how to fight?
"Don't be afraid." Ernest smiled as he looked at Leah and reached out to rub her head. "Does it hurt?"
He had been a bit careless earlier and allowed someone to pull Leah's hair.
Leah finally felt the pain and gasped. "Owl Don't touch it. It hurts a lot. He pulled my hair, my scalp hurts now."
Ernest's expression soured and he looked at the man on the ground angrily. He regretted not hitting the man harder.
As he soothed Leah's scalp, he glanced at the men.
However, by then, the other three men recovered and surrounded Ernest and Leah once more.
It seemed that they really wanted to kidnap them.
Leah looked at Ernest and immediately asked, "What should we do, Ernest? They're here again."
Ernest glanced at them lightly and comforted Leah, "Don't be afraid."
"I called the police, but they haven't arrived yet. I called your brother too, he's here at the movies with Celeste. He said he'd be right over," Leah said anxiously.
"My brother is nearby?" Ernest was also surprised to hear this.
"Mmm." Leah nodded. "He said that he was watching a movie in the cinema and was in no hurry to call the police for me, so I had to call them myself. I don't know if they heard me, because the guy came after me shortly after."
"Mr. Jones, we went easy on you just now, but don't worry, you won't have another chance." The leader stepped forward.
The moment he finished speaking, the three of them charged again.
Ernest shielded Leah behind him. He raised his leg and kicked at the men.
He needed strength and endurance to fight against three opponents alone.
Furthermore, one of them decided to go for Leah. He feinted and avoided Ernest's attack as he charged for Leah.
Leah saw what was happening and screamed, "Help! Someone is trying to kill us!"
Her shrill voice was immediately followed by footsteps.
"D*mn it." The man cursed and tried to stop Leah. His eyes grew fierce as he pounced on her.
Leah expertly dodged again.
Ah, so this was their plan.
Only then did Ernest realize that they wanted to capture Leah to force him to submit.
They all deserved to die.
He narrowed his eyes and subdued the two men before turning around to save Leah.
The man caught Leah's shoulder and she screamed in fear. She turned around and whacked the man in the face with her bag.
The person was caught off guard as he did not expect the bag to be so heavy. Pain exploded behind his eyes as he was struck.
He was in so much pain that he immediately let go of the hand that was clutching Leah's shoulder.
Leah managed to escape and ran straight for Ernest.
Ernest quickly pulled Leah into his arms.
Leah gasped as she lay in his arms. "Ernest, I'm so afraid."
"You b*tch!" The man who was struck by Leah cried out.
Ernest frowned.
At this time, the other two people also gathered around.
"Help!" Leah could only shout loudly when she saw the situation.
No matter what, she still had to call for help.
Unfortunately, the sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared.
She had no idea why people left. Why hadn't they come to save them? Why weren't the police here?
What exactly was Gary doing?
