Chapter 804
Knowing that a fight was inevitable, Jamie removed his feet from the man's body as he took off his coat
and walked back to Narissa's side.
"I'll take care of them. You should run away when you see a chance."
Before he could finish what he wanted to say, the group of men started charging toward them. Jamie
kicked and hit the men, but he was soon outnumbered. The other party managed to catch him off guard
and attacked him from the back.
Just as the man was about to hit him with a baseball bat, Jamie suddenly heard a deep groan coming
from his back. Right after, a man collapsed next to him. He immediately turned around and noticed that
Narissa was gripping onto the man's baseball bat. Noticing his gaze, she placed the baseball bat on
her shoulder proudly as she showed off how good she was.
Seeing that, Jamie laughed and gave her a thumbs up. "That's impressive, Miss Cuber."
Suddenly, her proud expression disappeared when she saw a man approaching Jamie with a dagger.
"Look out!"
He heeded her warning and agilely moved to the side in order to dodge the attack. At the same time,
Narissa jumped forward and knocked off the man's dagger with the bat before kicking the man onto the
ground.
"You don't have to thank me for saving your life." She rubbed her hands together while not forgetting to
take credit from him.
Just then, a pair of hands stretched out toward her from her back. One of it was hooked onto her neck
while the other one pulled on her hair and started dragging her backward. The unanticipated attack had
caught her off guard, and the lower half of her torso was being dragged on the ground.
Seeing that, Jamie swiftly ran over to the man and grabbed onto this collar before giving him three
knockout blows on his temple. Before the man could even retaliate, he had collapsed to the ground as
he foamed at the mouth. Narissa fell onto the ground as well.
Jamie leaned over and stretched his hand out to her before laughing and said, "Now, we're even."
"Hmph!" She snorted and slapped his hand away as she got up by herself, displeased.
After they had taken care of most of the men, a few remaining men who were standing afar
approached them with a man wearing spectacles being held as a hostage.
The leader of the gang snarled. "You think you can defeat us? Do you even know who we are? Get lost
and mind your own business if you don't want to die!" he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose men tried to avoid a fight as they anticipated a defeat after seeing what Jamie and Narissa were
capable of doing.
Narissa glanced at the spectacled man nonchalantly as she placed a hand on Jamie's shoulder before
provoking the other party, saying," Since you started the fight, we will get to the bottom of this. It's not
right for so many of you to pick on him, and we cannot just sit back and watch it happen. Evil will never
defeat justice, so you should just give up."
"That's such a cliche statement." Jamie scoffed.
"Shut up!" she snapped at him.
Hearing that, he made a gesture of zipping his lips. When the men realized that Jamie and Narissas
weren't going to give up, they huddled together for a discussion and finally came to a conclusion of
letting the man in spectacles go.
"Both of you are ballsy, but we will not let this slide. You should watch out!" The men left right after as
they carried their injured comrades.
After they left, Narissa finally let out a sigh of relief and pushed Jamie away. "Get away and stop
touching me."
"Who's touching you?!" He rolled his eyes at her.
"Thank you both for your help." The spectacled man walked up and introduced himself humbly, "My
name is Jayden Quinn, a reporter from Tissote Daily. Miss, how should I address you?"
Hearing that, Jamie raised his brow and uttered, "You should be asking me for my name since I'm the
one that got you out of the situation." He looked at the man from head to toe as he spoke, feeling
slightly displeased.
Although he looked like a decent man with glasses on, Jamie regarded that most of the nasty men
would disguise themselves by looking decorous through the way they dressed up. On top of that, he
thought that the man didn't look like someone decent.
"Mr. Keller, you are rather well known within Tissote, so a well-informed reporter would have heard
about you," explained Jayden with a smile. At that, Jamie had no grounds to refute his flattery.
"My name is Narissa Cuber," she said before continuing, "How did you get into trouble with those
men?"
"I'm a reporter who is in charge of social issues and exposing news events which would menace the
society. I managed to capture a few valuable pictures this time round, and they asked me to hand it
over to them. What happened today was because I refused to hand them over even when they had
negotiated with me numerous times." It didn't sound like his emotions were affected by the incident at
all as he depicted the whole incident frivolously.
"You have high moral integrity." Narissa was impressed by him. In today's society, journalists with
conscience and courage were hard to come by. It was considered their honor to be able to meet one.
"No biggie. It's my social responsibility as a reporter," Jayden responded humbly before shifting his
gaze at their car and offered to help. "I see that your car has broken down, and I happen to have some
tools for repairing at home. I can help tow your car there and I'll offer you some tea as a token of
appreciation for saving my life today."
"That's such a clicha statamant." Jamia scoffad.
"Shut up!" sha snappad at him.
Haaring that, ha mada a gastura of zipping his lips. Whan tha man raalizad that Jamia and Narissas
waran't going to giva up, thay huddlad togathar for a discussion and finally cama to a conclusion of
latting tha man in spactaclas go.
"Both of you ara ballsy, but wa will not lat this slida. You should watch out!" Tha man laft right aftar as

"Who's touching you?!" Ha rollad his ayas at har.
"Thank you both for your halp." Tha spactaclad man walkad up and introducad himsalf humbly, "My

Haaring that, Jamia raisad his brow and uttarad, "You should ba asking ma for my nama sinca I'm tha
ona that got you out of tha situation." Ha lookad at tha man from haad to toa as ha spoka, faaling
slightly displaasad.
Although ha lookad lika a dacant man with glassas on, Jamia ragardad that most of tha nasty man
would disguisa thamsalvas by looking dacorous through tha way thay drassad up. On top of that, ha
thought that tha man didn't look lika somaona dacant.
"Mr. Kallar, you ara rathar wall known within Tissota, so a wall-informad raportar would hava haard
about you," axplainad Jaydan with a smila. At that, Jamia had no grounds to rafuta his flattary.
"My nama is Narissa Cubar," sha said bafora continuing, "How did you gat into troubla with thosa
man?"
"I'm a raportar who is in charga of social issuas and axposing naws avants which would manaca tha

"You hava high moral intagrity." Narissa was imprassad by him. In today's sociaty, journalists with

"No biggia. It's my social rasponsibility as a raportar," Jaydan raspondad humbly bafora shifting his

tools for rapairing at homa. I can halp tow your car thara and I'll offar you soma taa as a tokan of
appraciation for saving my lifa today."
Just as Jamie was about to reject his offer, Narissa agreed to it immediately. "That's great. I'm curious
to see what collections reporters usually have in their house."
What's there to see? She can easily get the newspapers in his 'collection' anywhere. Is there a need for
her to go to his house?
Although Jamie was reluctant, he tagged along as well since he was concerned that it might be unsafe
for her to go there alone. Three of them arrived at Jayden's seaside villa in five minutes.
"I've always heard that reporters aren't well paid. It turns out that this isn't the case," Narissa exclaimed
after stepping into his villa.
"Hahaha, my family is comfortable." Jayden replied truthfully. "I was able to focus on realizing my
dreams because of my parent's support. Make yourselves at home. I'll go and make some tea." He
disappeared into the kitchen after that.
Soon after, Narissa noticed a specially designed storage cabinet behind the couch which captured her
interest.
"Isn't this the limited edition Thunderbolt sports car model from Mesdra? Do you have this too?"
Narissa's eyes lit up as she stared at them. The whole cabinet was filled with limited edition sports car
models, which was a dream cabinet for car enthusiasts like her.
"That's right. I get to travel around due to the nature of my job, and I love collecting these models. In
fact, I have collected so many of them throughout these years without realizing." After Jayden placed
the tray with two cups of tea on the coffee table, he returned to the kitchen again.
Jamie, who was also a car enthusiast, seemed exceptionally quiet that day. He merely sat on the couch
at the far end quietly. Just as Narissa was admiring the collection, she suddenly gazed over at the
balcony and noticed a standalone cabinet which contained a baseball bat.
"Mr. Quinn, do you play baseball?" She stuck her head out as she asked.
"Are you referring to the baseball bat?" Jayden's voice was heard coming from the kitchen. "That was
used by Swift during the last international baseball championship. I was in charge of interviewing him,
and he gave me that after the interview."
"Swift?! I'm a huge fan! There's even his signature on it!" Narissa gasped.
"Yeah. If you like it that much, you can bring it home later on," Jayden offered generously.
