    I eximed in shock, "Carol!"


    Carol, upon hearing my exmation, suddenly turned around and froze in ce. It was toote to dodge, but just as the bat was about to strike her, Tristan grabbed another hefty man in the nick of time.


    The man was flung out and crashed into the man wielding the bat. With no footing, both burly men fell heavily to the ground, emitting a muffled thud. Carol jumped aside in astonishment, watching the two men tumble to the ground. Then she gaped at Tristan.


    Even the onlookers were surprised by Tristan''s actions. Nobody could understand how he, with his slender frame, effortlessly knocked down the two hulking men. It was evident how powerful his force must have been.


    Andrea was also stunned by the scene. She covered her face, watching the rolling men on the ground, then pounded her chest in anger. "Useless! What are you all doing? Just watching them fight? Hit them! I''ll show you who''s boss today. Get them!"


    The men seemed to snap out of their daze, charging toward our store again.


    As Tristan turned back, he saw that Eleanor had already shielded me within the crowd, feeling relieved. A mischievous smile yed on his face.


    I understood; as long as I was safe, it wouldn''t hinder him from making moves.


    He swiftly engaged with the burly men, rendering the menacing thugs helpless. Even when they managed to strike, they inexplicably hit theirrades instead.


    One after another, they fell to the ground. Some were writhing in pain and unable to get up. Twoy motionless on the ground.


    Tristan swiftly ended the skirmish, with the whole battlesting less than five minutes. All that was left was a dumbfounded Andrea, standing there, unable to utter a sound.


    After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into apuse, and the market reverberated with cheers and apuse.


    Tristan returned to my side, his


    demeanor imposing. The market echoed with admiration, saying, "Will


    you dare to cause trouble again


    time? This is outrageous. Now you''ve got what you deserved!"

    Andrea stared at me in disbelief but couldn''t utter a word.


    When the crowd started jeering, she shouted at me, "Chloe, just you wait!. Y-You won''t get away with this."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    With that, she cast a nce at the fallen men on the ground, muttering, "Useless crap!"


    Then she briskly disappeared into the crowd.


    Seeing their boss leave, the men struggled to their feet, limping away in defeat.


    After thanking me, everyone discussed, "Mrs. Chloe, this can''t continue. These troublemakers are a danger if they stay in this market for long."


    "That''s right. We need to find a way to deal with those who don''t follow the rules."


    "If we let scum like them stay, even if


    they behave on the surface, they'' cause trouble behind the scenes. We won''t be able to tolerate it for long."

    Aidan pped his forehead as if enlightened, "Mrs. Chloe is right. Alright, let me take the lead on this. How about we all file a joint report?" Everyone immediately agreed, raising their hands in support. They chanted slogans and left our store to write theirint letters. Carol returned to my side, giving me a thumbs up and whispering, "You''re amazing, Chloe!"
