Chapter 71_A Love Forgotten

I was startled and instinctively stepped back. Teri positioned herself in front of me, her expression fierce.” What do you think you’re doing?” she demanded.

 Lucian’s face was flushed from drinking, and the smell of alcohol lingered on his breath. “Ladies, I just want to get to know you better. How about you add me on WhatsApp?”

 Teri sneered. “No way! Move aside. We’re leaving.”

 Lucian followed closely behind us, his speech slurred and lustful. “Ladies, you’ve quite the attitude. We’re just trying to be friendly here.

 “It’s a shame that two beautiful women like you are out dining and drinking alone. Why not get to know me? If you’re interested in having a drink, you can find me anytime. I’d love to take you out to thr

 By the time Teri and I reached the sidewalk, Lucian was still bothering us.

 Teri’s irritation was evident. “You’re really starting to get on my nerves now! No means no. If you’ve had too much to drink, you should just go home.”Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.

 I noticed Lucian expression darken, so I quickly stepped in front of Teri. Forcing a smile, I said, “We’re leaving now. Maybe we can catch up another time. We’ll invite you for a meal and drinks next time.”

 Lucian seemed pleased with my response. Heughed and said, “There’s no need for you to treat us. Come on! Let’s just get to know each other.”

 As he reached out to grab my hand, I let out a startled scream.

 Teri was shaken and quickly pulled me back. “What are you doing? It’s broad daylight–what on earth are you thinking?”

 Lucian looked genuinely offended. “You ungrateful women! I’m just trying to buy you a drink, and this is how you respond?”

 With a wave of his hand, a group of burly men from his table started to approach us.

 Teri and I finally realized the danger we were in. Holding up her phone, Teri threatened, “Back off! If you don’t, I’ll call the police.”

 Lucianughed mockingly. “Go ahead! I have plenty of connections in the police department.” Hispanions joined in with mocking jeers.

 Just as we were being backed into a corner, a ck Ferrari suddenly sped toward them.

 “Holy crap! Is he trying to kill us?”

 “Who the hell drives like that?”

 The sound of screeching tires cut through the air. Amid a barrage of curses, the Ferrari came to a sudden stop right in front of Lucian.

 The door s

 swung open, and an imposing figure stepped out. Leaning casually against the front of the car, he surveyed the group of burly men.

 “What’s going on here? Who’s the idiot trying to mess with my friends?”

 The group of burly men didn’t recognize him, but they could tell from the car and his demeanor that he was not someone to be trifled with. However, there was always someone unwilling to back down.

 Lucian, who had been insistent about adding my WhatsApp earlier, shouted angrily, “Who are you? Are

 you trying to ruin my fun?”

 He cursed and prepared to charge forward, but the man simply chuckled. In one swift motion, he kicked an empt

 beer bottle into the air, caught it, and brought it crashing down onto Lucian’s head. Lucian copsed to the ground instantly.

 The man tossed the broken beer bottle aside and followed up with a powerful kick, sending him sprawling. Hey there motionless.

 The remaining burly men were momentarily stunned. By the time they realized what was happening, the man had already grabbed two beer bottles–one in each hand–and taken down the next two men.

 As the rest of the group regained theirposure, they quickly grabbed some stic stools to confront him.

 Meanwhile, the man remained rxed. As the burly men closed in, he responded with powerful front kicks and sweeping side kicks.

 “He’s a skilled fighter! Let’s get out of here!”

 The group of burly men was clearly intimidated. They had thought their numbers would be enough to deter any trouble, but they were caught off guard by the man’s ruthless and swift fighting style. He effortlessly fended them off.

 As the restaurant staff rushed out to break up the fight, he shouted to Teri and me, “Get in the cark

 Both of us were startled by the chaos, but we quickly scrambled to obey hismand.

 As the burly men closed in on him, the man seized a stic stool and executed a spinning kick, sending it soaring through the air. The stoolnded amid the crowd, prompting everyone to scatter to avoid it.
