045 Mr. Hale's Methods, The Unique Rose (2nd Update)

William Hale's sudden appearance was unexpected by Ruben Fletcher; there was no way to dodge, and he hadn't anticipated the kick to be so powerful. Struck in the abdomen, he instinctively clutched his stomach and staggered back two steps...

Behind him,

suddenly, someone fiercely kicked behind his knees.

With a "thud—"

his legs completely folded, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Overwhelmed by the pain, he couldn't help but want to scream out loud, but unexpectedly, his mouth was covered from behind.

The person was incredibly strong, actually dragging him, forcibly pulling him to the side.

Zoe Bell was held in an embrace, only hearing the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. When the grip William Hale had around her waist loosened somewhat, she then turned to look.

Behind her,

was suddenly empty.

"Are you alright?" William Hale scrutinized her.

Zoe Bell shook her head, "The man just now is Mina Bell's previously adopted brother, I've encountered him before."
