Chapter 836 Not a Chance
Jayden and Narissa were chased into an alley, and the thugs flanked them from the other side. Narissa was well-trained; these people wouldn’t get to touch her.
However, Jayden was just an ordinary man. Although he knew how to throw punches, the opponent had an advantage in numbers. So, it was natural that he wouldn’t be able to handle himself as well as her as the fight dragged on.
The other party noticed his weakness and deliberately sent a few people to surround him while the rest slid past him through the narrow passage and attacked Narissa.
Although she managed to react in time, her fists were no match for the two pairs of hands. Thus, she could only turn defensive as she blocked each punch, avoiding them one after another.
When Jayden saw one of the thugs rushing over to Narissa with a stick, he quickly hugged one of them and rushed out desperately.
Once Jayden managed to knock the man down, he successfully broke through the circle of men. Just as he stopped to take a breather, two iron bars suddenly hovered over Narissa. He hurried over and went behind her, wrapping her body with his.
As the iron rods fell, they struck him on the back of the head.
He immediately let out a groan before passing out and falling to the ground.
“Jayden!”
Narissa bent over to try and help. But without Jayden, the group of thugs attacked her from all sides. Eventually, she could only release him in order to dodge those attacks.
At this point, she had entirely run out of patience. She grabbed one of the men and slammed her knee into his chest. Then, she grabbed the baseball bat from his hand and kicked him away.
Now, with a weapon in her hand, she felt like a fish in water. The group of thugs couldn’t get close to her for the time being. But even so, they rushed up to fight her one by one, waiting to exhaust her stamina.
The leader of the pack watched this joke unfold. “Sweetheart, if you kneel to me now, I’d get them to stop. What about it?”
Narissa knocked down the man nearest to her with a punch and mercilessly slammed the bat onto the person speaking.
“You can’t even block the hit from a bat. So how can an idiot like you want me to kneel before you? Bullsh*t!” She mocked the man and continued to fight.
The leader of the thugs held his swollen forehead as he inhaled deeply before grabbing a steel pipe from the person next to him. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward her.
“Get out of my way!”
His men immediately opened up a pathway for him.
The man rushed to Narissa, lifted the steel pipe above his head, and slammed it down.
Just as the pipe fell, a figure suddenly rushed over from the alley behind him, jumping in the air and landing a powerful kick on the thug’s waist. The thug instantly fell flat on his face.
When Narissa looked up, she saw Jamie raising his fist confrontationally as he angrily challenged the thugs. “With a man like me, how dare you get her to bow down to you, you shameless b*stard!”
Although she was still in the middle of a battle, she froze at his sudden appearance. Then, when his words echoed in her ears, she was so stunned and surprised that she couldn’t move.
Man?
Does he see me as someone to protect? Or is there another meaning to this?
The leader of the pack turned over and sat on the ground. Then, he flew into a rage due to the humiliation and ordered his men to kill them, “Motherf*cker! Kill them!”
In an instant, the alley turned into a battlefield. But this time, Jamie and Narissa had a tacit understanding. After a while, they managed to break through the crowd.
“You go first!” So Jamie went around to the other side and fought them alone.
She nodded and immediately went to help Jayden. But, alas, she had exerted too much physical strength that she swayed as soon as she stood up. She could only lean against the wall as she slowly stumbled away with a heavy burden.
On the other side, Jamie took advantage of his strength and knocked down a few people, holding them back, before he sprinted away.
When he saw Jayden’s deadweight dragging down Narissa, Jamie gritted his teeth before rushing over and carrying Jayden on his back.
Just as she was about to exclaim that she’ll cover their backs, Jamie yelled loudly, “You have shorter legs. Run in front of me. I still have enough stamina to catch up with you! Run!”
She saw that the thugs were slowly but surely getting back on their feet, so she had no choice but to obey him as she turned to run out the alley.
Jamie positioned the man behind his back properly before following behind her.
When the leader saw that they were getting away, he grabbed a machete and threw it in the air.
The big knife flew through the air. The blade’s tip managed to hit Jamie’s calf when it landed, cutting a wound that was more than ten centimeters long before it hit the ground.
“Ugh!”
Instantly, Jamie knelt on one foot with a resounding thud, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“What happened?!” When she heard the commotion, she turned around and saw him with his eyes closed.
“Nothing!” He gritted his teeth and stood up, trembling as he said, “I underestimate this guy’s weight!”
Then, he quickly caught up with her. “Don’t stop. They’re here to kill you, and they will stop for nothing. Get to the crowds!”
“Okay!”
Narissa nodded seriously and hurriedly led him to the street after figuring out where she was.
She acted as a guide ahead while Jayden followed behind. They soon got rid of the group.
They finally managed to get to the main road a few minutes later.
At this time, they heard Danny’s voice from across the street.
“Narissa Cuber?” Danny and Ariel were standing by the car, looking at them from a distance. “What are you doing out so late at night?”
Narissa and Jamie immediately rushed over.
“Someone is chasing us!” She exclaimed as she opened the car door to let Jamie and Jayden in.
Danny glanced at the alley where they came out from, and sure enough, he saw a dozen heads rushing forward in the dark.
“Get in!”
Danny didn’t hesitate as he brought the three people in and slammed the accelerator. Unfortunately, once the group of people rushed out of the alley, they only managed to see the rear end of a car disappearing at the intersection in the distance.
After the car drove for some distance, Jamie immediately arranged for a hospital to be on emergency standby.
Ten minutes later, Danny parked the car in front of the hospital with doctors and nurses that had been waiting there for a while with the stretcher.
Narissa immediately jumped out of the car, went around the other side, and cooperated with the nurse to lift Jayden out of the vehicle. Then, she followed him all the way to the emergency room as the other three trailed behind her.
When the operating light flickered on, Jamie breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. At this time, the wound on his leg began to hurt. But because his pants were dark and wide, the blood stains couldn’t be seen.
He stood upright and put on an indifferent front, saying, “He was just beaten by a stick. I don’t think he needs a crowd to be waiting for him. I’m tired. I’ll head home first.”
With that, he turned around to leave.
Narissa looked at him complicatedly as a trace of loss flashed across her eyes. She initially wanted to thank him.
In fact, there were a lot more things she wanted to say to him than just a simple thank you. Yet, he seemed to be reluctant to give her a chance.
Whatever the case was, there was no difference if she said it or not. She was now Jayden’s fiancée.
When she thought of this, she could only pretend not to care and looked back.
Danny wasn’t the same person as he was before. Although Jamie hid it well, Danny could see through his little tricks. Therefore, it didn’t take him long to realize that Jamie was walking rather oddly.
“Oh, I just thought of something I need to talk to Jamie about. Ariel, can you stay here and accompany Narissa for a moment?”
