Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 285: Taking Action
On both sides of the highway, members of The Viper Syndicate approached the three surrounded in the middle, each armed with various weapons.
"Lea Dutton, protect the lady."
Hope Norwood brandished her two sharp short swords, standing in front of Selena Kensington and Lea Dutton.
"Don’t worry about me, I’m not that fragile."
Selena’s concern was still for Lea Dutton.
It must be her first time encountering such a situation, and it was all because of her.
Selena looked back, only to find Lea tying her hair into a ponytail.
She looked neat and decisive.
Her gaze had also turned serious and sharp...
While Selena was startled, Hope had already taken the first move.
She seemed to find her element in this battle.
Like a ghost, she wove through the crowd, her small, sharp swords striking at the enemy with speed, ruthlessness, and precision.
She showed no mercy, each strike was with lethal intent.
Her eyes were fierce and bloodthirsty, and the thrill of the fight curved her mouth into an involuntary grin.
She looked both cruel and ghostly.
"Commander, this... this person..."
The people from The Vipers stared in disbelief, looking at Hope Norwood who was surrounded by Viper members.
Despite being surrounded by so many, she moved with ease, dancing with death in the hail of bullets.
What kind of power could train such a person?!
"Everyone, go capture those two at the back! Ignore this woman!"
The Vipers hadn’t expected Hope to be such a formidable fighter; the most their people could do was inflict some superficial wounds, unable to do any lasting harm.
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly commanded his men.
Meanwhile, seeing the people around her retreat, Hope had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when Hope turned around, she saw Selena and Lea surrounded.
"Lady, be careful!"
To Hope, Selena and Lea were defenseless individuals, unable to fight The Vipers.
But she found out Lea’s skills were... unusual.
She seemed trained in martial arts, her movements bizarre.
Those people simply couldn’t catch her.
Selena was also a bit surprised. How could Lea have such good skills?!
But there was no time to ask, as she dodged those trying to capture her.
With high heels on, she mercilessly kicked at the opponent’s vulnerable spots.
For a moment, quite a few didn’t dare approach her.
"These idiots!"
The Vipers spit on the ground, looking quite displeased.
His subordinates were actually scared of these three women?!
"Boss... the police are here."
Owen Woods said in his ear.
The Vipers looked behind and saw vehicles flashing with sirens.
"Stop!"
Selena looked towards the cars behind and knew the Sylva Guard Department had arrived.
She and Lea helped Hope over.
During the fight, Hope had received several cuts on her arm and abdomen.
Selena frowned slightly, watching those cuts continuously bleeding.
She took Hope’s blade and bent down slightly.
She directly cut a few strips from the hem of her evening dress.
"Lady..."
Hope widened her eyes slightly, not finishing her words before she saw Selena bandaging her wounds with the strips of cloth.
"You still need to protect me later, so don’t let yourself get hurt again."
"...Alright."
Hope pursed her lips, speaking somewhat awkwardly.
The lady... truly a gentle person.
From the cars behind, the head of the Sylva Guard Department hurriedly got out.
