The six men surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. Each of them looked mean.
“Let’s do this together! Kill this b*stard!” A large bald man shouted as he stared at Stanley angrily.
Reflexively, Xyla took off her coat and tossed it at Stanley before she pushed him behind her
protectively with one arm.
“Stand still and don’t move. I can handle these people,” she said.
Xyla moved quickly while maintaining vigilance. Compared to her gentle mannerism earlier, she
seemed so much cooler now.
Stanley felt as if something had touched him gently somewhere deep in his heart. In his life, this was
the first time a woman protected him during a time of crisis.
Silently, he placed the coat over her body.
“Stand still and don’t move. I’ll protect you,” he said. As soon as he spoke, a large man swung his
metal bat at Stanley’s head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRemaining perfectly calm, Stanley kicked the man multiple times and sent him flying. It all happened
within a single breath.
In that instant, Xyla felt as if she was watching a well-made action film. Meanwhile, Stanley was like the
perfect male protagonist in the film.
Closely after that, the other men began charging at Stanley.
Now, Xyla no longer cared about anything else. She quickly kicked her heels off and took off the large
coat around her before tossing it at the face of one of the large men. After a second, Xyla charged into
the battlefield and fought next to Stanley.
With their quick reflexes, Xyla and Stanley were able to strike their opponents accurately each time.
Whenever they attacked together, they did not miss a beat
While Xyla was skilled, Stanley was even better. Without exerting much energy, he was able to knock
two of the men to the ground, killing two birds with one stone.
Perhaps it was because Stanley seemed very capable, Xyla did not feel panicky at all.
In the final moment, one of the large men got so angry that he raised his metal bat into the air and
brought it down upon Xyla’s shoulder.
Stanley immediately reached out with his left arm and blocked the incoming blow for Xyla. He absorbed
the entire impact of the attack. At that very moment, he was worthy of the boyfriend of the year award.
Although it hurt a lot, Stanley merely frowned a little. In response, Stanley grabbed the opponent’s
metal bat and kicked him away.
“Are you alright?” Xyla asked nervously. She was both touched and frightened.
“I’m fine,” Stanley said cahnly as he continued to fight alongside Xyla.
Within five minutes, all six men were knocked out. Their bodies curled up on the floor as they cried in
pain. As the metal bats rolled on the ground, the sounds they made continued to resonate throughout
the empty parking lot.
Xyla and Stanley stood next to each other, their eyes were as cold as ice. It seemed as if the world was
at their mercy. After that, Stanley glanced at the large men coldly before calmly picking up his coat on

“You fight pretty well,” he said.
“You too.” Xyla smiled.
Without saying anything else, Stanley elegantly picked up along, large, metal bat from the ground and
dragged it on the floor as he approached the large, bald man who was in bad shape after the fight.
The metal bat made a screeching sound as it scraped across the floor, sending shivers down the men’s
spine. Although there was no hint of emotion on Stanley’s face, and he had also not said anything, his
body emanated a frightening aura. It felt as if he were a predator at the apex of a food chain.
He was only holding an ordinary metal bat in his hand. However, he made it seem as if he was holding
a legendary sword of some sort.
Xyla could not help but think that he could not be part of a mob group based on his looks.
Meanwhile, the large, bald man was shivering in fear when he saw Stanley moving toward him. He
immediately tried to get up and escape but to no avail. The man barely had any energy left in his hands
even to crawl forward.
