Sudden mission

Cough!

Max coughed out a mouthful of blood, wincing in pain.

'Damn woman! Weren't you apologising just a moment ago? Why do you have to be so violent in the next moment? Was this the only way to prove your point?' He thought hatefully.

Whoosh!

Mina, Anna and Amara arrived by his side, looking at him with worried looks.

"I'm alright. She didn't hit too hard." Max spoke lightly.

Jack's parents' eyes lit up when they saw the woman in white attack Max and a fleeting thought — she might not save Max—flashed through their mind, but they knew it was just their wishful thinking because she was clearly someone related to him.

Max then slowly stood up with Anna's help, his entire body aching in pain. However, he didn't show it on his face, walked over to the woman in white, looked into her eyes and nodded, "You are right. A strong person's dignity shouldn't be undermined."
