The man smiled, revealing his yellow teeth before saying in a low, husky tone, "Hey, beauty, you should follow us..."
Bella frowned, looking at the man in the middle who pointed at her. She saw the red rose tattoo on his neck; she remembered never crossing paths with this man.
Then, she turned to see two men. They also had similar expressions and vibes, like the man in the middle; they all looked like gangsters. They were not good people.
Her fist tightened. She tried to think faster about who sent these people to arrest her. Jessica? Laura Kiels? Only these two people appeared in her mind.
Leo glanced over his shoulder.
"Do you know them?" he asked in his low tone.
"Nope. This is the first time I see them."
Leo turned his gaze to the three men in front of them. He sent a cold gaze to them.
"Who the heck are you to ask her to go with you?" Leo asked in an angry tone. "Move, or you’ll end up in the hospital!"
He became even more furious when he saw them completely ignore him. They only looked at Bella with their fascinated gaze.
"This is my last warning! Move now, or I will send you guys straight to your coffin if you are still standing there!" Leo’s eyes twitched in annoyance
He was not scared of them—he had a black belt in Taekwondo and Muay Thai and had two years of extensive combat training in Borneo’s jungle. There were only three people, even though their body size was more significant than his. And, if they were also good at fighting hand-on-hand, he is very confident that, at least, he could incapacitate them long enough for him and Bella to get reinforcement.
Leo’s eyes were still fixed on them. After hearing his words, he thought the three of them would be afraid or run like they had tails between their legs, but he almost choked when they laughed at him.
’Fuck! How dare they mock me? It seemed they had indeed chosen to meet their ancestors. Good! Then I will grant your wish!’
Bella leaned closer to Leo and whispered, "Are you sure you can handle all three of them?"
"No worries, Boss. I will take care of them. You just need to stand beside me," Leo answered her in a whisper.
"Alright, Well, then I’ll be counting on you..." Bella patted his shoulder while looking at the three men, still laughing loudly.
"Bwa ha ha ha…"
"Ha ha ha… What the fuck!? A pretty man like you dares to fight us?"
"Pft..." Bella almost laughed out loud at the gangster’s words, calling Leo a ’Pretty Man.’ But she shut her mouth tightly when she saw Leo’s face turn dark as if a dark cloud was hanging from his head.
"Little man," the man with the red rose tattoo on his neck shouted, "We have nothing to do with you. Please get out of this place. Our business is only with this pretty lady. She needs to follow us now…"
"Ha ha ha… Yes… Yes… What my senior brother said is true. Get lost! You don’t have to prove your strength because I can break your tiny legs with only a single move."
"Run before I disfigure your pretty face, dude!"
"Yeah yeah….Quick, get out of our way before I change my mind, or you’ll become a disabled person for the rest of your life!"
Leo clenched his fists tightly, hearing their insulting words. This was his first time facing such shameless people. His calm demeanor suddenly changed as if all his blood was boiling, rushing under his facial skin.
There is only one choice for these lowly people: They won’t be able to use their legs anymore!
Bella moved closer to Leo. In her low voice, she suggested, "Leo, are you sure you can fight all three of them? If you can’t fight them now, let’s run. My running speed is quite fast." However, Leo ignored her.
"I’ve allowed you guys to leave, but you seem to have chosen to be sent straight to hell. Okay... Good... Good... I will grant your request..." Leo said with a sarcastic smile.
Leo couldn’t believe these lowly gangsters dared challenge him. He had no reason to prolong this; he needed to end it quickly. He pulled the sleeves of his white shirt up to his elbows, revealing his pale, muscular arms.
He glanced over his shoulder, "Bella, move behind!" his chilly expression surprised Bella.
"Hmm... be careful," said Bella. She had never seen Leo angry like this. However, she had a significant worry: Leo would get hurt, and she still doubted he could do martial arts.
"You stop talking! Come here. I’ll break your little hands!" shouted the man with the red rose tattoo, followed by the laughter of his other two friends.
"Ha ha ha... Senior brother, let me take care of him."
"Let me... Do that!" Another man shouted.
Bella, who watched these three people and Leo exchange words, became impatient. She wanted to silence them with slippers because of their insulting words to Leo, but she couldn’t do that. Leo warned her not to do anything but to wait behind while suppressing her anger.
"Don’t ask for forgiveness later because I won’t grant it..." Leo chuckled.
He moved quickly towards the man with a red rose tattoo on his neck. With a flying kick that landed on his chest, the big man was thrown back several meters and fell with his buttocks against the stone path.
"AAAAARGH…" A cry of pain resounded through the air as the man with a red rose tattoo landed on the ground, clutching his chest. He had never felt this nameless pain before, as if someone had just broken his ribs. Before he could say anything, fresh blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Cough..." His bloodshot eyes stared at Leo in rage. He shouted, "F-fuck…you, how dare you—" the man can’t continue his words as another blood spurts out of his mouth.
"Cough! Cough!"
