For a moment, Roza felt both shocked and ashamed. She pursed her lips tightly, not daring to make a
sound.
One of the men spoke in French to Axel. âWho are you? Get out of the way. This is none of your
business!â
Axel replied in fluent French, with a smirk. âIf I were blind, then it wouldnât be my business. But now that
I see it, itâs my business.â
âDamn! This bastardâs French is so good!â Roza thought to herself, secretly amazed.
What kind of monsters were her masterâs brothers? Not only were they handsome, but they were also
cultured! Not to mention, she found the way Axel spoke in French to be quite sexy. She couldnât help
but feel her ears turn incredibly hot.
âWho the hell are you? Get lost!â The other man snapped in Italian, his expression growing more
hostile.
âIâm your father,â Axel replied in Italian, his handsome features turning cold. âDonât test my patience. Let
her go!â
âBodyguards!â
The man roared angrily, and several bodyguards ran over from the other end of the corridor. It was
clear that these two men had significant status, given the number of people guarding them outside.
Axel remained unfazed, his brows furrowed as he cautiously assessed the situation.
Ever since he was a child, Wyatt had heeded his motherâs wishes and hired professional martial arts
instructors to teach his four sons and Bella the necessary self-defense skills to protect themselves.
After all, no matter the number of bodyguards they had, they couldnât be protected around the clock. In
moments of crisis, their self- defense skills could keep them safe.
However, Axel hadnât practiced his skills in a long time, leaving him a bit rusty. When dealing with these
people, his victory wasnât guaranteed.
âAxel, donât worry about me anymore!â
At that moment, Roza focused on Axelâs safety above her own. Her voice strained with urgency as she
shouted, âYou need to get out of here⦠Leave before anything else happens!â
âThen Iâm taking you with me. I canât leave behind a woman who canât fend for herself!â Axel clenched
his fists, his gaze fierce, and charged directly at the two men who were restraining Roza.
At the same time, all the bodyguards rushed forward!
âNo!â
Roza watched in horror as Axel became the primary target of everyoneâs aggression. Her complexion
was drained of color. Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it would burst out of her chest!
Axelâs heart trembled, but he clenched his fists even tighter, determined to rescue Roza. Apart from
Bella, he had never risked everything for any other woman in his life.
Axelâs moved like lightning. Before the two bodyguards in front could react, he had already knocked
down the two men holding Roza with a single punch.
âGrab my hand! Quickly!â Axel was sweating profusely and staring intently at Roza as he reached out
to her.
âAxel! Watch out! Behind you!â Roza exclaimed in shock. A woman who rarely shed tears was now on
the verge of crying.
A bodyguard wielding a metal rod had sneaked up behind Axel and swung it toward the back of his
head.
If the blow had landed on Axelâs head, he could face either death or severe brain damage!
The weight of the potential consequences hit Roza like a ton of bricks. Because of her, Bella would lose
her beloved brother! How could she ever live with herself? The guilt would haunt her forever.
Rozaâs eyes welled up with tears when she thought of this. Her teeth clenched tightly together as she
dashed forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Axelâs waist.
Axel looked on in astonishment, instinctively pulling her closer into his embrace.
