Chapter 128 Surrounded In The Streets

“No problem!” Everyone in the room was raring to go.

Arissa was very happy with the response. “Christian, please note down the names of those who intend to

participate. We’ll still need to recruit new talents for this mission.”

“Noted, Ms. York!”

Arissa also reminded everyone, “Anything to do with this project is to be kept private and confidential.”

“Understood!” everyone in the room agreed.

Nodding, Arissa responded, “Get back to work!”

After Arissa returned to her office, she was buried with work until after working hours. That was when she

realized that the kids were still at school. She slapped her own forehead and phoned Bradley

straightaway to help her fetch the children from school.

Half an hour later, Bradley called and told Arissa that the kids were already picked up. Knowing that her

kids were being taken care of, she continued to work overtime till eight o’clock.

When Arissa was on her way home, two cars came out of nowhere and trapped her in between. She was

forced to stop her car by the road.

She then saw a gang of thugs exiting their cars and they were heading toward her. They were all armed

with bats.

Arissa instinctively took out her pepper spray from her purse.

One of the thugs came at her and broke her car window. He then opened her door forcefully.

When the thug tried to grab her by her arm, Arissa reacted swiftly and kicked him out of her way. She

then got out of the car and used her pepper spray on another thug who was charging at her. While he

was temporarily blinded, she snatched away his bat and smashed it into his head.

In the blink of an eye, Arissa managed to take out two of them on her own. Evidently, the thugs weren’t

aware of the fact that she practiced martial arts. Hence, they didn’t see this coming.

Suddenly, more than ten of them charged at Arissa at once. She was surrounded.

Fortunately for Arissa, Ethen was driving Benjamin past the area and he noticed the incident. Despite the

chaotic scene, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Upon a closer look, he spotted Arissa and

stopped the car abruptly.

“What’s wrong with you?” Benjamin yelled as the abrupt stop caught him by surprise.

“Mr. Graham, isn’t that Ms. York?” Benjamin blurted as he was pointing at the commotion by the street.

Benjamin glanced toward the fight and saw that Arissa was surrounded by a gang of thugs. His eyes

widened and he rushed out of the car to help her.

One of the thugs swung his bat at Arissa but she managed to dodge it. After she got up swiftly, she

struck her bat into him. However, another of them was coming at her from behind. She suffered a blow to

her hand and nearly dropped her bat.

Arissa then fell to the ground in pain. As soon as she looked up, she saw a bat heading toward her head.

Without much time to react, she held up both her arms to take cover.

Yet, in the face of imminent peril, she was dragged away to the side.

Everything happened too fast and all Arissa saw was a dark shadow flashing before her eyes. It was so

fast that all of a sudden, the thug who was about to hit her a second ago, was kicked to the ground.

Arissa was then shocked to see that it was Benjamin that came to her rescue.

Her eyes then quickly spotted a man sneaking up on Benjamin from behind. She grabbed her bat and

charged toward him.

“Get away from here!” Benjamin yelled at Arissa.

Ignoring Benjamin’s warning, Arissa ran toward him and knocked out the fast-approaching thug.

“Let’s do this together!” Arissa said to Benjamin.

Ethen and Benjamin’s bodyguards joined in and they defeated the gang of thugs within a minute.

All of the thugs were on the ground and they were howling in pain.

Benjamin gave Ethen a signal with a look and then brought Arissa into his car.

Ethen understood the signal right away and proceeded to interrogate the thugs.

Benjamin closed the car door and stared at Arissa. “Where are you hurt?”

Arissa was still in shock but she composed herself and answered, “Thanks for your help, Mr. Graham. It’s

just my hand.”

Benjamin was seemingly upset by what happened to her. He then took the first aid kit in the car and

started applying some ointment to her hand. “Why didn’t you call the police?”

Arissa gulped and explained, “I had no time for that! Everything happened so quickly so I had to deal

with them on my own.”

Benjamin squinted at her reply. “Any idea who were those people?”

Arissa took a glance at his blackened face and shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

Benjamin continued to rub on Arissa’s injured hand.
