Chapter 47

‘Cahill…’

Holly remembered the person she had missed more than anyone else at this moment. His worries last night were by no means unusual. Still, no matter how much she missed him, he was not here.

She rummaged through her pockets and grabbed some of the coins.

‘Sorry.’

Holly apologized inwardly and set the coin down on the bar. Then, with one hand on the back of the chair, she turned around and ran toward the exit.

“Where are you going?”

The man, who had been watching her leisurely, raised his arm as she passed him. Seeing that, she gritted her teeth and swung the chair she was carrying.

Crash!

The next moment, there was the sound of the wooden chair breaking. Thankfully, she was already at the exit when the man lowered his arm to protect his face from the chair.

“This woman is really…”

Even though she heard a savage voice, Holly didn’t look back. Finally, the door was in her hand, and she used the recoil to jump outside.

At that moment, the wind clawed her cheeks.

‘…Cold wind?’

As she opened her eyes wide in surprise at the sudden pain, the wind brushed her cheeks. Holly wiped her cheek with her hand, and she could feel hot liquid dripping onto her hands.

“Blood…?’

Nonetheless, she had no time to hesitate. She had to run all the way to the inn, avoiding the man.

‘They won’t be able to chase me all the way there.’

However, when she thought of the man who had visited her everywhere she went, she felt uneasy. Holly shook off her thoughts and focused on running. Soon, she was able to hide among the crowd of guests coming out of her restaurant after lunch.

Just as Holly thought, the blond man had been targeting her the whole time.

Even when he saw her at the street table, even at the stall… he deliberately sought out where she was. Before someone took the last remaining seat at the stall, the man who quickly took his seat ordered whatever menu he could see and looked around.

The narrow market road was full of people. Shoulder bumps were so common that it was tiring to pay attention. It was rewarding to know the crowded time zone in advance.

The man licked his lips in satisfaction and loosened his fingers.

‘This body used to be called the hand of a god in the past.’

His purpose was the pouch on Holly’s waistband. He intended to win her favor by stealing her purse and then approaching her, pretending to pick up what she had dropped.

“Aack!”

However, he realized that things went wrong only when his arm was twisted by Holly.

Just as he was about to steal her wallet, someone had molested her. In the blink of an eye, the man was surrounded by people who cursed at him. When he came to his senses and looked where she was, Holly was already gone.

The traces of the ropes tied around his wrists were clearly visible on his white skin. The man frowned and turned his wrist.

The guard who had led him raised his hand in his pocket.

“Is this all the stolen money?”

When the man held out a big pocket, the guards undid the strap without hesitation. It was easy for them to believe that he was not trying to harass the woman, he was just trying to steal her wallet. There were always greedy people everywhere.

“If you don’t like it, give it back.”

The man held out his palm sarcastically.

As the guard tucked the pocket into his pants to avoid losing it again, the blond man looked at it and his face twisted in disgust.

“Catch that man and lock him up. Because he is the real molester.”

The blond man handed the guard a sketch he had drawn. The appearance was as vivid as if it had been taken right on the spot.

“Sure.”

The guard put the paper in his pocket and smiled. They needed someone to be put back in place of the man whom they let go.

“Such guys should have their manhood cut off so they can’t swing around carelessly.”

The blond man clenched his fist in the air, pretending to pop something. In his usual thoughts, he even added vengeance for putting himself in trouble. The faces of the guards turned white at the radical remarks made with a dignified appearance.

“I’ll come over tonight to make sure you’ve done it right.”

Contrary to her expectations, the man successfully escaped as soon as he stepped into the guards. He wandered leisurely through the market floor, looking for Holly again.

“Bingo.”

It was very easy to find one of the few strangers in a neighborhood where foreigners are not common. Spotting Holly’s back in the pub with the door wide open, the man lifted his lips and went inside.

Nonetheless, she was no easy opponent.

“I didn’t expect you to know about the devil’s kiss.”

She seemed to be a woman who enjoyed entertainment quite a bit… He didn’t like that either. The man raised an eyebrow in disgust. His instinct to get rid of her and his reason to seduce her and make her on his side kept clashing.

The first time Holly hit the man, the chair broke. She didn’t stop there and hit him twice more with the broken chair. As a result, the man’s arm was scraped and mangled by debris from the chair.

“…You dare to injure this precious body.”

The angry man’s voice scratched the floor. He missed her twice because he couldn’t speak properly in front of her. In the third meeting, he should plant a sense of fear rather than gain her liking.

“Let’s see who wins.”

The man gritted his teeth as he glared at the door Holly had left.

“I have to do something before we meet again.”

The man muttered nervously as he headed for the exit. He didn’t have much time left.

Holly managed to get out of the store and hid among the people, slowing her pace. Fearing that the blonde man might be following her again, she looked around and carefully moved her steps. She then let out a sigh of relief before turning the alley toward the inn.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, a large shadow fell in front of her.

The man’s appearance was too conspicuous to pretend she didn’t know. He was the big guy who was being manipulated by the blonde guy on the street table. What had happened in the meantime, he had more scars on his grim face.

“Did you call me?”

She asked, pointing a finger at herself. The man and Holly were alone in the alley.

“Yes, you. Let me see you for a second.”

The large man nodded at her and snapped his finger at her. It seemed that the gloomy voice and hard face were not of good intentions.

Holly unconsciously stepped behind him. As her eyes were busy scanning the surroundings, there was no other way through the narrow alley, so she had to turn around to get out of here.

Meanwhile, the big man was getting closer little by little.

“Just know that if you bother me unnecessarily, something worse will happen.”

He was good at intimidation. If she had lived a normal life, she might have been frightened and hardened at the menacing attitude.

However, Holly suffered from this relatively often. She had dealt with many thugs like Henry since she was in Centuria. Of course, at that time, she had the security forces’ help. Seeing that the blond man had just been released, she seemed to have little hope for the guards here.

‘Let’s hide among people. If it’s too late, Cahill might come to find me.’

While she felt sorry for herself because she seemed to depend on Cahill too much, she couldn’t help it.

‘The outside world is so harsh.’

From the moment she left Centuria, she was chased and ran away almost every single day. As Holly lamented her misfortune with a grim face, the large man reached out to grab her. At the same time, she stretched out her leg.

“Ugh…!”

With her toe stuck between the man’s legs, the feeling of something squishy being crushed was terribly unpleasant. The man soon sat down, clutching the groin that had been hit while Holly covered her mouth in disgust and turned without hesitation.

Still, her escape did not go as planned.

“It’s you again?”

The blond man was blocking the entrance to the alley. The man flinched at Holly’s somewhat nervous and weary voice.

“Since you can’t bully me yourself, are you mobilizing a gang now?”

Even if she begged for her life, he couldn’t stand this annoyance.

“How can I…”

Hearing Holly’s words, the blond man stared at her with a look of dismay.

“It won’t go over well this time either.”
