Chapter 268
Quincy was so nervous that sweat started to trickle down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and glared at Millie, âVery well, Millie, this is what you wanted.â
His tone and gaze brimmed with menace as he continued, âSince you have the guts to go after my finger, Iâll make sure you regret it!â
Millie narrowed her eyes, understanding that Quincy wasnât someone who could accept defeat.
âPfft! How could he threaten her?â Jake grumbled.
Quincy tightened his grip on the knife and placed his other hand on the car hood. At that moment, all eyes
were on him.
Millie, however, simply leaned against the car with her arms crossed. Her demeanor was indifferent and relaxed.
While everyoneâs attention was on Quincy, Winstonâs gaze remained fixed on Millie. He couldnât believe she dared to do such a thing. Was her previous docility just a facade?
As Quincy raised his arm, the knife gleamed under the moonlight. But just as it was about to descend, a voice rang out.
âWho has the nerve to cause trouble at the WK Club?â

Immediately after the words settled, Quincy lifted his head, and his eyes widened in shock. It was his boss and club owner, Luke Hunt!
Quincy turned around, and sure enough, the club owner had arrived. He was accompanied by a dozen burly men in suits, all of whom looked like bodyguards.
Matt trailed behind the club owner and shouted, âThis is the woman whoâs been causing chaos!â
Luke sized up Millie before bellowing, âQuincy, come here!â
In an instant, tears welled up in Quincyâs eyes, and his hand holding the knife began to tremble. Luke had finally arrived! Quincy had thought no one would come to his rescue.
âBoss!â Quincy called out.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his legs shaking as he staggered to Luke. If they had come one second later, Quincy might have already wet his pants.
Then, he turned. With Luke by his side, he felt emboldened.
The men facing Millie were dressed in black and looked intimidating, while she stood alone, clearly outmatched.
âWhatâs going on?â Millie asked in confusion.
So, Luke got straight to the point. âThe race is over. Youâre not welcome here anymore.â
Millie blinked and replied, âBut weâve signed a contract. He has to honor the terms.â
âStop pushing your luck!â Luke growled.

At the same time, the bodyguards behind him moved forward. It was as if they were ready for a fight.
The corner of Millieâs lips curled into a smirk, while Quincy puffed out his chest. He was clearly feeling secure with his backup.
Millie was rendered speechless at that sight.
âEither get out of here, or Iâll give you one of my fingers!â Quincy shouted.
If Millie actually dared to take his finger, they would make sure she faced severe consequences. She could try them if she wanted to find out.
The crowd, once abuzz with chatter, fell into a sudden hush.
Marvin jumped down from the stands, stood behind Millie, and asked with a frown, âYou canât accept defeat, huh?â
âWhere did this punk come from? He looks like he canât even handle a couple of blows,â Luke remarked with a grin.
Marvin stepped forward, but Millie stopped him and said, âSir, all Iâm asking for is Quincyâs finger. Otherwise, I wonât be leaving tonight.â
She wasnât afraid if they wanted to fight. How could she survive in the underworld if she didnât have skills? Luke frowned in return. âYou really are stubborn. Are you insisting on creating trouble here?â
âHe was the one who insulted me and my friend! Demanding a finger is already letting him off easy!â Millie argued.
Luke sneered, âIn that case, not only will you not get his finger, but you wonât be leaving here in one piece either!â
He figured that by making Millieâs life a living hell was the only way she would learn where she stood. With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards behind the club owner started moving toward Millie.
Right then, a trace of sarcasm flashed across his eyes as he mused, âTrying to test my limits, huh? I fear no one! At Python Mountain, Iâm the king!â
Just as the bodyguards were about to reach for Millie, a deep male voice rang out from the stands.â Touch her and see what happens.â
