************************************************************
Elizabeth looked at the bulky men surrounding them, she was waiting for them to make a move first. In the military, they were taught that if they were trying to escape, they should wait for their enemy to move first so they could utilize his flaw and escape. She squinted her eyes, the men were slowly closing in on her.
Shit they were professionals. They want to finish her in one move.
"Eight guys ganging up on a lady, that's too absurd" A voice was heard. She turned her head towards the voice, it was the guy she almost arrested.
"What is he doing here, is he looking for death?" She thought to herself.
"Well it is already late," She thought, they had already seen the guy and it was likely that they wouldn't let him go. She saw the men signaling to each of them and five men rushed towards the guy. The other three closed in on her.
"He is probably dead," She thought. She focused on the three guys, she wanted to escape quickly before the other five came back. Now is the best time to escape.
The first man rushed towards her while thrusting his knife forward, she held his wrist but her sprained wrist could not take the pain. She fell backward and just in the nick of time, she was raked down by the leg of another man. Her ankle got sprained, and she frowned as he saw the third man thrusting his knife forward. He wanted to cripple her leg. They were here with vicious intent.
"Shit," she thought. Just when the knife was about to reach her leg, the man's hand was kicked off. She looked up and saw Lucas.
"What!!!" She exclaimed in her mind and looked to her side but she saw the five men lying on the floor unconscious. The three were surprised when they saw their colleague on the floor. They moved back slowly, he did not follow them because he had a hunch that they were planning something. His hunch was right, one of the men hurled his knife at the lady. He caught the knife and turned around immediately. He hurled the knife and it caught the leg of the escaping who hurled the knife.
"What" Elizabeth was surprised. She had been in the military for years so she knew that the move Lucas made was a superhuman move and his body was radiating with a golden hue.
"Hmm" He just noticed that his body was radiating with a golden hue. The full moon was out at the wrong time, he furrowed his brows as he looked at Elizabeth.
"Snap" He knocked her unconscious.
"Why would the full moon be out at this kind of time" He thought as he looked at the moon shining in the sky. Whatever, he will just confuse the lady and she cannot claim that she saw something without evidence that just happened to be unlucky that night. He carried Elizabeth and left.
Elizabeth woke up the following day, she saw the white ceiling and with the smell, she knew she was at the hospital. Memories of what happened last night came to her head and she remembered Lucas. She looked around but saw that she was in a large room, she knew that this must be a VIP ward. She stood up from the bed, she still felt some ache in her ankles, but it was not what she could not handle. A nurse came to her, she was discharged and she walked to the receptionist downstairs.
"Please who bought me here last night" She asked.
"A handsome guy and he paid for your room before leaving," The receptionist said.
"Thanks" She answered and walked out of the hospital. Her car was already parked outside for her, she took her keys and entered the car. She must find out the identity of the guy. She is sure that he is not a normal human. She furrowed her brows as he thought of possible ways to get to the guy and her eyes suddenly shone. She took her phone and dialed a number. The call got through.
"Hello Dad," She said. The other person answered her and they exchanged pleasantries.
"I want to attend the party on Monday," She said. After some sentences, she cut the call. Monday was the day the new president of Johnson Group will be inaugurated and also the second greatest auction of the company. Her father a five-star general and politician was invited and he wanted her to go with him but she was not interested. At least before, but now she is interested. She must find out about this strange guy.
"Time to get a dress," She said as she dialed her assistant's number.
