Chapter 44

Chapter: 45

“Tell the client I’m on the way.”

The club was not too far from where they were. If they continued the rest of the trip by car, they would

need to make a detour. On foot, however, the distance would be shorter.

While gripping the door tightly, Emmett was confused by his boss’ sudden change of heart. Whatever

Carlos was up to, Emmett did not have the courage to disobey his orders. Bouncing out of the car, he

closed the door and briskly made his way towards the Orchid Private Club.

In the lane, Debbie was panting with her hands on her knees. The hooligans whom she was fighting

with had run away.

The only reason she went there was to use the bathroom. How unfortunate of her that she ended up

running into those losers! This neighborhood belonged to Orchid Private Club. Generally, it was quite

safe over here. That was why Kristina had chosen to sing in this neck of the woods.

Hence, Debbie presumed those hooligans must have taken someone’s money and were working for

someone. Alas, she had let them get away. Now she had no leads as to who had hired them.

Then, as Debbie stood up straight in a calm manner, steady yet heavy footsteps could be heard from

behind her. Even after a fierce fight and somewhat exhausted, her entire body was on full alert again.

When she felt that the person was within close range, she slashed her hands swiftly towards him.

But before she could touch the person, he moved behind her at the same moment she had turned

around.

Struck with surprise, Debbie narrowed her eyes in suspicion. She had studied martial arts for ten years.

Through a single move, she could tell that the person behind her — whomever he might be, was a

professional.

Whether it was the security guards on the cruiser or the hooligans she had just dealt with, this man

could easily handle them with one hand.

On the other hand, she had exerted most of her strength with both hands. Even worse, she had not

even seen his face yet. Was he a friend or a foe? And if he was the latter, did she just meet her match?

Debbie distanced herself from the man quickly. When she turned around to see who the man was, he

leaped behind her again. It was beginning to frustrate her, but the man’s game had only just begun

The same routine was repeated a couple more times, and finally, Debbie could no Longer hold back

her annoyance. She shouted, “Are you here to fight or are you just making fun of me?! Be a man and

fight with me, face to face!”

The amused man failed to suppress a snort.

Upon hearing him, Debbie was so shocked that she felt goosebumps on her arms. ‘Not Carlos again!‘

she thought and lamented.

Just as her shoulders sagged, indicating that she had dropped her guard, a familiar figure appeared in

front of her from behind. Deep inside, she had wished for her suspicion to be wrong.

The disdain hanging on his face stung Debbie. Ignoring the fact that she was no match for him in Kung

Fu, she clenched her fists and challenged him, “Fight me or leave!” But that only threw him in a fit of

laughter.

“Stop laughing like an idiot!” she demanded.

Resting both hands in his pockets, Carlos said casually, “Fight you?

You’re too weak to fight me.”

Too naive for her own good, Debbie fell for another one of his attempts to provoke her. Without another

word, she raised her fist and swung it towards his face.

Effortlessly, Carlos dodged the punch, and continued, “My, my! How rude of you! At this rate, no man

will want to have you as a girlfriend.”

But she was no longer listening. Debbie tried her best to attack Carlos but her efforts were futile.

“That is none of your business!” she yelled, fuming with madness.

“Even if you were the only man in the world, you’d never have me!” she snapped back.
