ALL the while, he looked at those thugs calmly, his gaze cold as ice.


    “Bam!” A sudden gunshot broke the silence.


    Lindsey’s body shook violently at the sudden sound.


    Whimpering softly, she buried her face deeper.


    The next moment, several men in ck emerged from the darkness and surrounded the thugs.


    One of the men in ck was holding a silver pistol in his hand, its muzzle still smoking.


    The thugs were all too scared to make a sound.


    A single gunshot was enough to take all the fight out of them.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    They looked at each other with pale faces and raised both hands over their heads without hesitation to signify their surrender.


    “Who- Who are you?” The ringleader asked in a trembling voice.


    The man with the gun didn’t say a word.


    He only raised his gun forward and nodded, signaling at his men to rush forward.


    In the span of mere seconds, all the thugs were subdued and pressed to the ground.


    Then, in one coordinated strike, each man in ck neatly smacked the back of the neck of all the thugs, knocking them out instantly.


    They didn’t even get the chance to cry out in pain.


    Afterward, all the men in ck looked at Domenic, who was standing in the middle of the carnage.


    It was as though they were soldiers looking at their general, waiting for his next order.


    With one hand still nted firmly over Lindsey’s head, Domenic waved his free hand casually.


    The men nodded and briskly took the thugs away.


    Soon, they had disappeared into the night.


    Lindsey was still shaking in Domenic’s arms.


    He stroked her smooth hair and said softly, “There, there.


    You’re safe now.


    ”


    His tone was soft, but his voice seemed to cast a spell over her, calming her nerves instantly.

    Only then did Lindsey raise her head.


    She timidly Looked around, only to find that they were alone.


    “Mr.


    Walsh, w-what happened? I thought I heard a gunshot just now.


    ”


    Lindsey looked up at Domenic in disbelief.


    She was sure that she was going to die here today.


    Cupping her cheeks gently, Domenic stroked her face with his thumb.


    “We got really lucky.


    There were several undercover cops in the area, and they swooped in and took the bad guys away.


    ”


    Hearing this, Lindsey nced around in surprise.


    Domenic was right; they were really lucky!


    The gunshot must’vee from one of the undercover cops in an attempt to intimidate the thugs.


    “Are you hurt?” Domenic looked Lindsey up and down carefully.


    Lindsey shook her head.


    “I’m fine.


    ”


    When he was certain that she wasn’t injured, he fixed his eyes on her quiveringshes.


    The poor girl was so on edge that she looked like a stressed cat, which made him think that she was still scared.
