Chapter 1705: Run? Stop Her

Chapter 1700: Run? Stop Her

20 brawny men swarmed and surrounded Marcos and Lorna.

When Marcos saw them enter, he had wanted to leave, but Lorna had chosen a corner far from the staff entrance.

These people were sharp-eyed and immediately noticed him. He had only taken a few steps with the confused Lorna, when they were stopped.

“Marcos, still hiding, I see.” A short and fat man walked out from behind and sneered.

Marcos said darkly, “Torres, I already said that I don’t want to get involved in your business.”

The short fatty named Torres laughed and looked around. “Look, this kid has guts. A few months ago, he was begging me to give him a job. Now, he’s hooked up with a rich b*tch and has become picky.”

The brawny men around him laughed obscenely.

“Rich lady, why don’t you give us money? There are so many of us, we can ‘work’ for you too.”

Lorna’s expression was ugly in the face of this situation, but she didn’t say anything, nor did she ask Marcos anything.

Although she hadn’t liked learning the safety rules, she had been forced to remember most of them at Carol’s urging.

/

There were several in particular that Carol nagged her about repeatedly: Stay calm when you’re in danger to avoid dragging your teammates down. Swiftly assess the enemy’s combat ability and look for escape routes. Gain the upper hand, and don’t fall into the enemy’s trap.

Carol had paid too much attention to this because she remembered the last time she had been caught by Sentinel Services.

Lorna wasn’t with Carol now, but her boyfriend had to be considered a “teammate.”

Also, while Marcos was talking to the man, Lorna had noticed that some of the men looked ready to take out their guns.

Even if she wanted to ask what was going on, she had to escape this crisis first.

Thinking quickly, she squeezed Marcos’s hand.

He had never learned any safety rules, and wasn’t that calm.

Sensing Lorna’s movements, he thought that she was angry, and couldn’t help but turn around.

Lorna couldn’t help but sigh. What a dumb teammate.

But she immediately tossed the thought aside.

It wasn’t like she and Marcos had talked about how to deal with an enemy – this was normal.

Her eyes flicked to the side.

Staring at her face from half a meter away, Marcos noticed the small movement.

The brawny men were further away. Calling out excited obscenities, most of them were staring fixedly at Lorna’s exposed skin under her hot pants. They probably weren’t paying attention to her eyes.

Pretending to be scared, she hid behind Marcos and quickly said in a low voice, “Go right later.”

Marcos was stumped for a moment. Before he realized what was going on, he heard a series of bursts above his head, and the lights in the bar went out.

Under Lorna’s control, two thin gray knives shattered the lightbulbs.

These were the metal knives which Luke had designed specially for Lorna. Although they were only three centimeters long and one centimeter wide, they were lightweight and could move very fast.

The matte gray color made them even less conspicuous.

Less than two seconds later, the entire bar was dark except for a few lamps further away.

These men weren’t professionals.

From the moment the lightbulbs burst to when the bar was completely dark, they just looked around blankly.

The short fatty, Torres, was quicker to react. “They did it. Catch them.”

Marcos didn’t really understand what was going on, but Lorna suddenly pulled at him and whispered, “Run.”

Recalling Lorna’s instruction, he kicked and punched two black figures who were blocking his way. He broke out of the circle and ran to the right with her.

Less than 20 seconds later, the couple rushed out the back door and disappeared down an alley.

Half a minute later, a bunch of brawny men rushed out the back door. Looking at the empty alley, they couldn’t help but look at each other in bewilderment.

The short fatty, Torres, had a twisted expression on his face as he pointed at his subordinates and cursed. “Are you pigs? How can you let them escape? You’re not even as good as that b*tch.”

All the brawny men lowered their heads, but they couldn’t help but curse inwardly. You were the last to come out – doesn’t that make you worse than a pig?

Torres cursed and dropped the subject.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. After hanging up, he waved his hand. “Let’s go back. Switch cars and call people over. We’ll go to where that b*tch lives, and catch her there – I don’t believe that Marcos, that traitor, isn’t after her money.”

All the brawny men cheered.

Since they were going to catch Lorna, they could loot her place and make a quick buck.

They returned to the front door in high spirits and drove off.

On the other side, Lorna and Marcos quickly got into a nearby car and went back to the parking lot at the foot of the hill which the cafe was on.

After parking the car, Lorna silently opened the door and walked up the hill.

Marcos hurriedly turned off the engine and locked the car before catching up. “Lorna, it’s not what you think…”

Lorna didn’t stop. She said calmly, “There’s no need to rush. You can tell me everything later.”

Stumped for a moment, Marcos hesitated. Was he really going to tell her?

But he didn’t want Lorna to know about that experience at all. It made him feel like such a disgrace.

…

At the same time, Luke and Selina were eating skewers at a roadside stall.

That was right, there were skewers here as well.

However, the skewers had cucumbers, onions, and green peppers in between the meat, and came with the local spicy sauce.

Compared with the meat skewers which Luke made, these skewers were more refreshing.

He took a bite, and the mix of meat and vegetables was quite tasty.

Luke had paid 200 dollars in advance for the food, and the boss was naturally willing to deliver the skewers to them.

The two of them and Gold Nugget waited at a stone bench ten meters behind the stand for the boss to roast the skewers.

When a certain rich guy paid upfront, he said that after they ate 200 dollars’ worth, he would pay for another round. After they were full, whatever was left of the money would be a tip.

Also, if there were other customers, the boss could sell half to them and the other half to Luke.

Naturally, the boss didn’t object. It was a win-win situation for him.

Apart from chicken skewers, Luke also ordered sour and spicy roast mutton skewers to keep down the amount the three of them ate. Otherwise, the boss’s hands would break long before Gold Nugget was full.

Then, Selina ordered smoked eggplant and grilled cabbage salad.

She really liked the roasted garlic eggplant which Luke made, and had become more interested in eggplant dishes after that.

This salad was a local specialty.

After trying one bite, Luke declined to eat more.

He had never been interested in salad, and this was no exception.

In this way, the stall owner delivered skewers and food nonstop.

When he received 200 dollars for the fifth time, his initial surprise and delight, which had gradually turned into astonishment, now turned into horror.

Luke could only use a bit of Mental Hypnosis. “Don’t worry. We often participate in eating competitions worldwide. Eating something like more than 200 hot dogs in one sitting isn’t a problem for us.”
