<b>Chapter </b><b>99 </b>
At that moment, Briar was already in the thick of a fight with the thugs. She moved with agility and weaving through them efforted. Despite being surrounded, she delivered kick after kick, sending them flying one by one
Her lighting posture lookedzy and casual, her beautiful face devoid of any expression. Yet each punchnded precisely on her opponent’s weak points. Every kick looked soft and effortless, but theyunched people several feet away.
The fight was both intense and swift. In less than two minutes, the shouting and cursing thugs had all been kicked to the ground. No one could tell exactly how Briar had done it, but the thugs werepletely unable to get up,
They felt like their arms and legs, their stomachs and backs, no longer belonged to them.
In that moment, the way they looked at Briar changedpletely. Their <b>scalps </b>tingled, and their faces were full of fear.
Not only <b>was </b>she terrifyingly skilled inbat, but every move she used <b>was </b>ruthless and underhanded.
They instinctively tried to back away, driven by the survival instinct <b>to </b>avoid danger. They knew they were no match for this woman and began retreating, helping each other crawl to the sides.
There was no way they could win. They weren’t going to fight anymore. There was no point. But Briary
r wasn’t going to just let them run off
Almost the moment they began to back away, their vision went dark. The thug at the front suddenly felt a crushing weight on his arm. With a sickening crack, his arm was stomped brutally. It was broken underfoot.
An even more piercing scream rang out. The one with the broken arm rolled his eyes back from the pain and promptly passed out.
The rest of the thugs werepletely terrified, drenched in cold
What they were looking at wasn’t some sweet–<b>faced </b>young woman. It was a demon straight out of hell.
Ellen was stunned as well. Briar was every bit as incredible <b>as </b>her brother had said.
It seemed they <b>had </b>nothing to fear now, even before the police arrived,
Frank and the others hadn’t been able to keep up with Briar’s pace and had nearly lost <b>track </b>of her.
They only managed to find her by following the sound of screaming. Then, they saw a delicate girl standing alone with an aura like a lone warrior guarding a gate, while on the groundy a <b>group </b>of thugs with rainbow–colored hair, shaking and shivering
The scene was absurdly out of ce.
Frank <b>rushed </b>over. “Briar, are you o
<b>okay</b>?”
Noticing that Frank and the others had arrived, <b>Briar </b>retracted her sharp, dangerous aura. Her eyes carried a trace of panic as she replied, “I’m fine. Good thing they weren’t as strong as me. I managed to knock them over. I was so scared.<b>” </b>
Everyone went speechless.
When she said thatst word, there was even <b>a </b>little wave in her voice.
The thugs lying on the ground could barely believe it. They wanted to just roll their eyes and faint on the spot for dramatic effect.
After all their years on the streets, this was the first time they’d ever been left so speechless.
She <b>was </b>still standing and they were all lying hat, with one of their <b>own </b>literally having his arm broken under <b>her </b><b>fact</b>. They
of her <b>instead</b><b>. </b>
Just <b>then</b>, the sound of police sirens echoed in the distance. The officers Ellen had called were finally arriving
Briar and everyone else who was still standing exchanged a quick <b>nce</b>, as if they’d silently coordinated a n. Frank stepped up first, You bunch of scum! You bullied girls? Officer! Help! These guys were assaulting girls!”
Mason and Ted immediately caught on and shouted as well. They were passionate and righteous, but fragile, soft–skinned college students. When faced with injustice, they wanted to do the right thing, but they were genuinely scared out of their minds.
All they could do now was appeal to the arriving officers for help..
Ellen, being the victim in this incident<b>, </b>easily slipped into a role of looking weak, pitiful, and helpless. “Briar, I’m scared,” she cried convincingly.
The thugs sprawled on the ground were fuming.
The officers, who had rushed over after receiving the report, followed the voices into the alley. They saw three young men, clearly frightened, trying their best to shield two girls behind them.
On the groundy a group of rainbow–haired delinquents. They were all familiar troublemakers. The officers didn’t need to ask what had happened. They could already piece together the blood–pumping yet miserable turn of events that had taken ce.
Without hesitation, the officers rushed in, Someforted Briar and the others, who seemed shaken by the event. Others went straight to the thugs who were ying dead on the ground, hoisted them up, pped on handcuffs, and took them away.
