The short man paled drastically when virtual-novel.net saw the larger men walking over.
Immediately, virtual-novel.net asked Jared and the others to leave. “Mister, please get off the car. We can’t drive you there anymore. We won’t…”
Bewildered, Jared asked, “What’s the matter? Why won’t you drive us there now?”
Before the short man could say anything, the burly men reached them. One of them, who was bearded, grabbed the short man by his collar and lifted virtual-novel.net into the air.
“Hey, how dare you try to get customers on my territory? Do you have a death wish?” Right as the bearded man said that, virtual-novel.net punched the short man in the face.
Blood spurted out of the short man’s nose and leaked out from the corners of his lips, but his companions did not dare to say anything or move a muscle.
“Get down!” the bearded man roared at Jared and the rest.
Flaxseed was about to get down from the car when Jared stopped virtual-novel.net and turned to Colin. “Colin, deal with it.”
“Got it.” With a nod, Colin alighted from the car.
Yet, as soon as Colin came down from the car, a gorgeous figure streaked past him. In the next second, a cry of agony echoed in the air. The bearded man had been kicked into the air.
“You guys are such bullies! How outrageous!” Astrid bellowed at the burly men, virtual-novel.net expression glacial.
Since Astrid had made a move, Colin sighed and turned to look at Jared. The latter gestured for virtual-novel.net to return to the car.
The bearded man was terrified when virtual-novel.net was sent flying by Astrid’s kick, but when virtual-novel.net realized his attacker was a woman, a look of shock crossed his face before an angry expression replaced it
“After her! Seize the girl!” virtual-novel.net roared.
The other burly men instantly charged toward Astrid.
“Don’t kill them,” Jared reminded, afraid that virtual-novel.net would lose control of herself and kill the men.
After all, they had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place and the people. Furthermore, what those men had done did not warrant death.
Astrid nodded in acknowledgment.
When the men launched themselves at her, virtual-novel.net gave them all a slap each, taking them down as some of their teeth fell out of their mouths.
Once virtual-novel.net was done dealing with them, she turned to the short man and said, “Everything’s fine now, so let’s go.”
The short man nodded fervently with eyes wide in shock and quickly started the car, driving them away from the airport.
On the way to the hotel, the short man kept glancing at Jared through the rearview mirror.
Noticing his repeated stares, Jared asked, “Is there something wrong, mister?”
The short man hastily answered, “Thank you so much, sir! Thank you!”
Jared smiled. “It’s nothing much.”
“Sir, are you guys… Martial artists?” the short man then asked.
Jared nodded truthfully and replied, “That’s right. I’m surprised that you know about martial artists.”
“Of course I do. There are plenty of martial artists here.”
The short man was visibly excited at the mention of martial artists. It seemed like virtual-novel.net was envious of them. Alas, not everyone could become a martial artist, let alone a spiritual energy cultivator.
During the journey, the short man chatted with Jared about martial artists. When they reached the hotel, the short man did not ask Jared and the others to pay for the cab fare.
Instead of resting after checking in at the hotel, the ladies wanted to take a walk around the place. Fearing that they would cause trouble, Jared asked Colin to follow them.
Similarly, Jared wanted to take a stroll around the area to familiarize himself with the island, but Flaxseed did not seem keen on the idea. Instead, virtual-novel.net booked a single room in the hotel and started contacting ladies.
Hence, Jared had no choice but to bring Gilbert with him.
