    Renee and Leia crossed the sidewalk and walked toward the bus stop some distance away from them.


    Before they could enter the bus stop, however, the tanned man who approached them at the airport just now stopped in front of them on a motorbike.


    Behind him were six or seven men, also on a motorbike, looking fierce and dangerous.


    "Hey, gorgeous. Didn''t you say your friend wasing to get you? Why are you catching a ride here? Listen, I own the buses here. Just tell me where you''re going. I''ll give you a free ride!"


    When Leia saw him, she could no longer hold herself back. She rushed forward and grabbed his cor. "You have the nerve to stop us! Give us back our cell phones, or you''ll be sorry!"


    "Cell phones? What do you mean? I don''t understand what you''re talking about." The man smiled slyly as he held Leia''s hand. "What''s wrong? Did you lose your phone, gorgeous? Tell me what it looks like. I''ve got quite a lot of connections. I''ll get it back for you quick."


    "You''re asking for it!" Leia was so disgusted, she had goosebumps. She raised her leg and kicked his chest.


    "Argh, bitch! You''re fucking rude!"


    The man, kicked to the ground, held his chest angrily and turned to hisckeys behind him,Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "What are you waiting for? She did this to me! Get them!"


    The motorbikes revved loudly and surrounded Renee and Leia. Some of the men held steel pipes. They seemed like thugs who belonged to a nasty organization used to shady acts. They couldn''t care less about the consequences.


    *Ren, what should we do? Should we fight them? Leia grew timid from the sheer number of motorbikes around them. More and more spectators came to watch as well.


    Surrounded by so many fierce men, Leia and Renee had no way to escape.


    Leia regretted her previous impulsiveness. If these men captured them, they might end up miserably, just like the novels she had read about with Southeast Aeos as the setting.


    "That''s our only option." Renee calmly put the luggage down and started warming up.


    "You look like you want to fight us, but you''re so skinny." The man looked at Renee and grinned sarcastically. "I always have a soft spot for women. I can''t be rough with you-unless you want to fight me in bed."


    Renee maintained her calm smile. "Let me ask you onest time. Did you steal our phones? If you did, this is yourst chance. Give them back to us. If not.. I''ll make you regret it."


    "Hey, woman, you''re so arrogant. How dare you threaten me! Why don''t you ask around? I''m Lucas Sitwell. Do you know my status in this territory?'' Lucas raised his chin, his tone smug. "No one dares to touch me in Goldshire except for Draco!"


    Draco was Benjamin, the master of a fort as well as Liam''s future father-inw.


    "Is that so?" Renee smiled. "Then, I need to congratte you."


    "For what?'' Lucas asked Renee in confusion, stunned.


    He was startled by Renee''s sharp gaze. He wondered if the two women came from a powerful background. After all, they didn''t dress like ordinary people. Their temperament was different too. One could tell that they were rich with one nce.
