CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: HOW DID YOU HIT THEM?

Then the person ran away, Paige Sterling, "..."

Paige felt complicated about the unexpected windfall of ten million.

She didn’t stay at the club anymore and left immediately.

The street was crowded, and Paige, who was used to being in the lab for years, wasn’t accustomed to such ubiquitous bustle.

She picked a quiet road to walk down, her shadow stretched long under the street lamps.

As Paige passed an alley, she seemed to hear the sounds of a fight coming from deep within.

She wasn’t someone who liked to meddle, sometimes even excessively indifferent.

But today...

Maybe she could interfere a little, and just test out her research results.

So Paige decisively walked into the depths of the alley.

The further in she went, the darker it became. At the corner, Paige saw a group of burly men surrounding a man in a suit, engaging in a brawl.

The man in the suit clearly had no strength left to resist but defiantly tried, knocked to the ground, still propped himself up to stand.

He was quickly kicked back down by one of them.

"Stupid kid, our lady took a liking to you, and you dared to play her?"

"Weren’t you arrogant? Why so cowardly now? Try standing up, come fight again?"

"Just because you have some filthy money, you toy with women’s feelings, scum!"

The man in the suit staggered, finally stood up amidst the curses.

He raised his head, casting a fierce gaze over the crowd. Despite being beaten like that, there was a vicious killing intent.

Paige then realized that the man being so badly beaten was... Austin Xavier.

She had a clue who sent these people.

Who would’ve thought Penelope Thatcher seemed like a pure little white rabbit, yet she mixed with shady dealings, and she’d retaliate swiftly without any hesitation.

Austin Xavier really was... unlucky.

Paige wasn’t planning to intervene, truthfully she thought Austin getting beaten might be alright.

So Paige retreated slightly into the shadows.

When Austin stood up, one of the men kicked viciously at the back of his knee, causing Austin to fall down again, half-kneeling on the ground.

His teeth clenched tightly, not making a sound.

Among the group, a man with large tattoos on his arms looked at Austin steadfastly endure it, sneered coldly.

"Hand me the hammer, I want to destroy his leg, make him regret in bed for the rest of his life!"

Not finding a hammer, a few underlings brought over a piece of brick.

The tattooed man swung the brick towards Austin’s head.

This tattooed man didn’t keep his word, supposedly destroying the leg but aiming at the head.

And by this time, Austin had no strength left to retaliate.

Seeing them getting serious, Paige couldn’t stand it anymore.

"Stop!"

Her voice was chilling, sounding cold and deep, with quite some deterrence, in the empty alley, it was abrupt, hard not to notice.

Everyone immediately turned to her, but only vaguely saw a figure, couldn’t see Paige’s face clearly.

Paige stepped out from the shadows, everyone saw it was a woman, a very beautiful woman, stunned for a moment.

The tattooed man squinted, sizing up Paige, "What? Do you intend to meddle?"

Paige slightly raised an eyebrow, "Of course not, I’m here to rob, can’t you guys see?"

The men and Austin were thoroughly stunned.

Austin’s face turned green, directly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Paige didn’t even glance at him, said to those men, "Hand over anything valuable you have."

Paige’s calm expression of robbery made them instantly feel underestimated.

"Miss, do you know who we are? We’re the mafia, do you know the consequences of crossing us? You came to rob us, looking for trouble?"

"Exactly, with your build, getting robbed seems more likely, running out to rob, aren’t you afraid of losing everything?"

Paige tilted her chin up, expression cold and sharp, "Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"Coward! I’m the woman you can never defeat!"

"Damn woman, giving you the chance to flee but you don’t want it, looking for death huh? Do you believe I’ll deal with you right here?"

The men stared viciously at Paige, as if about to tear her apart.

Austin felt Paige was deliberately provoking.

She was insane, did she think these men were kind-hearted?

Austin gritted his teeth and said, "Paige, go your own way, I don’t need you meddling."

"You think I’m here to save you?" Paige shot an annoyed glance at Austin, "How could you think so beautifully, I told you I’m here to rob."

Whether Paige was serious or not, Austin felt hurt by those words.

"Then get lost!"

This woman would never say a kind word to him.

Paige sneered, withdrew her gaze without looking at Austin again, "Either hand over the money directly or get beaten then hand it over."

Just being really arrogant.

"Woman, do you want us to beat you to death?"

"So you choose to be beaten then hand over the money?", Paige looked amazed, "How can you guys be so cheap?"

The men almost got a myocardial infarction from her, but then heard Paige impatiently said, "Do you want to come at me all at once or one by one?"

"Boss, listen to what this woman is saying, even now you still endure it? Even if you can, I can’t, I definitely have to teach this woman a lesson today, if we don’t hit her, she’ll think we don’t hit women!"

The tattooed man looked somber, "Why rush, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a fearless woman."

He suddenly broke into a wildly charming smile, "Alright then, woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly got punched on the nose, blood started flowing, and his wild charming smile froze.

The underlings behind him were dumbfounded.

They only saw Paige make a punching motion, yet she remained standing there, such a distance, how could she hit there.

But the problem was, their boss indeed got hit, and bleeding.

How on earth did Paige achieve this? Might she actually be a female ghost?

After hitting, Paige blew on her fist.

"What lines do you want to compete with the boss? My dad wouldn’t even dare say that in his youth, where does your courage come from looking so ugly?"

Even insulting him personally?

"You’re a woman who simply won’t cry till seeing the coffin, today I..."

This time his cheek got punched, his whole face crooked.

Once was enough, actually getting face punched twice.

And he still didn’t know how the opponent managed to hit him?
