After Christopher and Scarlett came out, she pouted. “That woman is abominable. Why didn't you just beat the crap out of her using cash? She’s a gold-digger.” Christopher smiled in amusement while checking out Scarlett’s round face. He was almost tempted to give it a pinch. “You should have stood your ground against her, since I enjoy a ninety percent discount on everything with a VIP card! We can offer five thousand, and if she offers fifty thousand, you can always top it up to five hundred thousand. I don't believe Cyrus will be willing to pay five million.” After rolling her eyes at Christopher, Scarlett blushed. “I was trying to save you some money. I never wanted something that expensive. All I need is a fitting attire. After all, your money is precious too.” Upon hearing that, Christopher was stunned. Touched by her words, he caressed her head. “Come on. Let’s go. We already spent an entire day here. It’s time to return to The Serenade.” Scarlett nodded in agreement, then Christopher hailed a cab. The two of them got into the car, and they were planning to return right away. Yet, they didn’t get too far when the car shook abruptly. Having encountered a scam prior to that, Christopher knew why the driver stopped the car all of a sudden. Slightly speechless with the situation, Christopher wondered why he had been having so many encounters while taking cabs recently. I wonder what trouble am I in this time. When Christopher scanned the front of the car, he noticed a girl in rags standing beside the car. Her palms were all sweaty, and her face was full of dirt as she stared in front of her with a blank expression. The moment he saw her, he frowned, for he noticed that the girl was ill. She was having some sort of relapse, which was why she ran onto the road all of a sudden. The fact that she was behaving like that meant that she had yet to recover from her symptoms. It explained the reason she was staring into the distance without reacting to her environment, as if she had lost her mind. All the while, a lot of cars were honking at her in an attempt to chase her off the streets. Yet, even the noise of dozens of cars honking at her failed to wake her from her daze. “That f*cking idiot! Where did she come from? Why did she run onto the road? I can’t drive!” “Yeah! Get the f*ck away from here! Go die somewhere else! Don’t come over here! This is such a bad omen!” “She must be sick! You psycho! Get out of my way! I need to go!”A lot of the drivers were mercilessly hurling insults at the girl. When they looked at her face, they felt like stomping on her in order to vent their fury. The cars that were closest to the girl were the cab that Christopher was in, as well as a black BMW X5, which had its surface dirtied when the girl touched it. Right away, a man with a cigarette in his mouth came out from the car. As soon as he swung the door open, he stomped on the ground with his right leg while he glared at the girl with a menacing look. Without hesitation, the man raised his large hand to slap the girl as soon as he laid eyes on her. With that, the girl collapsed onto the ground as blood trickled from her lips. Upon seeing the girl being slapped, the people around began cheering. There were also a number of people who felt sorry for the girl. After all, the man was cruel to hit a frail girl that hard. Meanwhile, the previous slap seemed to have failed to satisfy the man with a cigarette. Therefore, he picked up the girl by her collar to give her a slap on her other cheek. Slap! The second slap produced a noise that rang throughout the place. The girl was bleeding even more profusely from the corner of her mouth. The trail of blood that trickled down her face was a harrowing sight to behold. Upon witnessing what had happened within the span of moments, Christopher frowned. The girl was already gravely ill, so a third slap might very well render her permanently deaf. With a sigh, he decided to lend help considering that the girl was in a wretched state, and he could earn Thumbs-Up points by assisting people. Just when he was about to get out of the car, Scarlett shook his arm while wearing a worried expression. “G-Go save the girl. She’s in such a wretched state. If the man were to keep beating her, her life would be in danger.” Christopher agreed with a nod before opening the car door. Then, he hurried toward the man with a cigarette. Just when the man was about to give the girl another slap, Christopher made a move. “Hold it right there! The girl might become deaf if you continue to hit her!” The man whose wrist was caught in Christopher’s grasp cursed. “What does the fact that I’m slapping her have anything to do with you? Do you have a death wish? You sure have the guts to even cross me, huh? Trust me when I say I will have my men beat you to a pulp!” With that, the man tried to wrench himself free, only to find that nothing he did could free him from Christopher’s grasp. In the next instant, the man whipped out a knife from within his pocket. There was a sinister gleam on the blade of the knife. The moment the man retrieved it, he tried to stab Christopher with all of his might.Whoosh! When the man struck, every single hair on Christopher’s body was standing as his body reacted swiftly by instantly reaching his other hand out. He caught the knife just in time when it was a mere few centimeters away from him. At that point, he had a dark look on his face. After all, nobody who dared attack him ever got away unscathed. “Argh!” In the next instant, Christopher broke the man’s arm, which elicited from him a wail as he dropped the knife he held while clutching onto his injured arm. Without showing the slightest bit of care toward the wailing man, Christopher checked on the feeble girl. Upon rushing to her side, he took her pulse carefully, and his expression darkened even further. The girl was already in a weakened state to begin with. After being slapped, her pulse was even weaker and more erratic. If Christopher didn’t administer treatment immediately, not only would she lose her hearing in both ears permanently, but she would also become mentally incapacitated. Upon reaching that conclusion, Christopher retrieved his acupuncture needles to treat her on the spot.
