Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Instead Defeat In the evening, once Emrys and Ninette had filled their stomachs, like a young couple, she happily looped her arm through Emrys‘ as they strolled down the street.

They ended up strolling around for over two hours.

Ninette didn’t show the slightest sign of fatigue, and from time to time, she pointed at some peculiar places, telling Emrys, “Look quickly, Emrys. This place used to be a favorite among the wealthy women. And this one, and this one too.”

Emrys asked with a puzzled expression, “Nina, how do you know so much? Could it be that you…”

“Hehe!” Ninette blinked with a smile and said, “Because I’m a journalist, I often conduct undercover investigations and such. However, I assure you, I’ve never done anything out of line.”

“Of course, I believe you,” Emrys said.

At last, the reason for Ninette’s corruption was found. It turned out that she was influenced during various undercover investigations.

All right, given the circumstances, I will forgive you for the matter concerning the study materials on the computer. Emrys quickly came to understand.

The two were strolling when suddenly, a man with a scarred face approached them. They had almost passed him by when, unexpectedly, the man with the scarred face turned back, reaching out to block Ninette’s path.

“Well, well, who do we have here looking so familiar? Turns out it’s our Beautiful Reporter!” The scar-

faced man stared at Ninette, smirking.

Ninette’s face changed instantly, and she tried to leave with Emrys. However, the scar–faced man swiftly blocked their way, sneering coldly, “What’s the rush, Beautiful Reporter? Why not visit my place again today? You might find some unexpected surprises!”

Emrys immediately understood. It must have been during Ninette’s previous undercover investigation that she had inadvertently revealed her identity, which had consequently caught the attention of the scar–faced man.

Emrys didn’t waste words, instead, he coldly uttered two words. “Move aside!”

“Well, isn’t this brat quite audacious?” The scar–faced man instantly shifted his gaze onto Emrys, but then narrowed his eyes and said, “Hey, kid, you’ve got a good look. How about considering working at my place? There will definitely be benefits beyond your expectations.”

His gaze was intriguing. It was clear at first glance that he wasn’t involved in any legitimate line of work.

Ninette’s face was icy cold as she took Emrys‘ hand and said, “Let’s go, Emrys. We don’t need to bother with this mad dog. I refuse to believe that he would dare to do anything to us in broad daylight.”

Emrys nodded.

Clearly, the scar–faced man had no intention of letting the two off the hook. The so–called theft of his wallet was nothing more than a pretext for picking a fight.

Ninette said indignantly, “When did we ever steal your wallet? Don’t make false accusations!”

The scar–faced man sneered, “If you didn’t steal my wallet, then explain this. Why did my wallet.

disappear after I exchanged a few words with you? If you didn’t steal it, then who did?”

“You…”

Ninette was seething with anger, ready to argue with the scar–faced man, when she suddenly heard Emrys speak up. “Nina, as you said earlier, this is a mad dog. What’s the point in reasoning with such a creature?”

The scar–faced man’s expression darkened instantly. He barked, “Brat, watch your tone when you speak.”

“Oh? What’s with my tone?” Emrys retorted.

“Just by looking at you, I can tell you’ve never been beaten up before. You’re trying to show off in front of a beautiful woman, but you better understand who you’re dealing with. I’m not someone to be trifled with!” The scar–faced man clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking ominously as he prepared to strike.

However, he suddenly noticed a slight chill in Emrys‘ eyes. In a swift motion, Emrys raised one leg, his heel soaring higher than the scar–faced man’s head before he forcefully brought it down.

Bang!

The scar–faced man collapsed on the spot, clutching his blood–drenched head and screaming incessantly.

Instant defeat!

Emrys didn’t spare another glance at the scar–faced man. Instead, he turned to Ninette and said, “Nina, there’s no need to waste so much breath on a mad dog. If he tries to b ite, a swift kick will do the trick.”
