?Chapter 330:


    “If she really had what it takes, she would have squared up and fought him head-on.”


    “Of course, she used surprise—women can’t beat men otherwise, right?” Christina raised her eyebrows, a cold smile ying on her lips. “Haven’t you heard? Loose lips sink ships. Sometimes, the element of surprise is your best weapon!”


    Condemnation against her grew louder, usations of her low tactics flying her way. Not a single voice in the crowd seemed to care that she’d faced three men at once—a fact that made their outrage more than a little ironic. Their criticism was no different from bullying.


    Thank goodness Christina had some skills. Anyone less skilled would’ve beenpletely overwhelmed facing even one of these three men.


    With a sly smile, Christina locked eyes with the burly man. “You think you could’ve beaten me if I hadn’t taken you by surprise?”


    His answer came fast, full of swagger. “Absolutely! There’s no way you’d win in a fair fight!”


    Augh escaped Christina. “Let’s see if you’re still so confident with a second chance.”


    “Second chance? How am I supposed to fight when my arm is useless?” The burly man tried to lift his dislocated arm, but it refused to obey. Total numbness had crept in, and the arm barely seemed attached to his own body anymore.


    “That’s easy. I’ll pop it back in,” Christina replied, her voice steady and calm.


    Annoyance shed as the burly man snorted. “You think you can just snap it back in? Be my guest!”


    A bystander piped up, eager to challenge her. “Talk is cheap! If you’re that skilled, put his arm back in ce—let’s see it.”


    Before another word left the crowd, Christina made her move. One smooth motion, one audible pop, and the burly man’s arm slid right back into ce.


    Stunned silence rippled through the bystanders. Disbelief hung in the air—she’d actually fixed it right in front of them. She really made it! Nobody found words. Shock left their mouths open, silent as if they’d all swallowed their doubts whole.


    Let your mind wander with g?lnσν????s﹒??????


    “All set,” Christina said, lifting her hand and crooking her finger to beckon the burly man. “Let’s get round two started, shall we?”


    A stunned look lingered on the burly man’s face, his mind scrambling to process what had just happened. Experimentally, he rotated his arm, expecting pain but feeling none. Everything felt as good as new—no soreness, no lingering ache—almost as if nothing had ever gone wrong.


    Rather than jumping straight into a fight, the burly man eyed Christina with curiosity. “Are you a doctor?”


    Something about Christina didn’t fit the usual doctor image for the burly man. She carried herself more like a celebrity than someone in the medical field. If her seeming ingratitude wasn’t so infuriating, and if she didn’te off as so arrogant, her beauty would’ve been the first thing anyone noticed.


    Christina simply shrugged. “I guess you could say that. Vets are doctors, too, aren’t they?”


    That answer left both the burly man and the onlookers momentarily speechless. Was she reallyparing him to an animal?


    The burly man’s temper red. “Hold on, are you treating me like an animal?” he demanded.


    “Why, does it matter? If the goal is to get you better, who cares what kind of doctor I am?” Christina asked, her eyes wide with mock innocence and a casual shrug that only made her attitude more aggravating.
