Bring Your A Game, Mr

Alexander called out to Elise loudly, but the scene before him caused his eyes to redden with rage. He strode forward and sent the man on top of Elise flying with a kick. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he took off his suit jacket and draped it on her. As Elise looked at the man before her through a mist of tears, feelings of grievance welled up inside her, and tears gushed from her eyes. Alexander’s heart ached terribly when he saw her like this.

“How dare you f*cking kick me? Guys, get him!” Alexander darted a cold glance at the men. He moved so swiftly that no one could see how he moved, and he knocked them flat in the blink of an eye. “F*ck, we can’t beat him! What should we do? Let’s run away…” The men quickly got up from the ground and ran to the door, only to see Brendan standing there with his back straightened. There was no warmth in his eyes as he folded his arms across his chest, saying, “Go on, keep running! Why aren’t you running?” The few men looked at each other for a while as they were at a loss for what to do.

At last, the man leading them quickly said, “Wait a minute, it’s all a misunderstanding! Please let us go this time. When we meet again in the future, I’ll definitely reward you for this.” Brendan’s lips curled up into a chilling sneer. “Misunderstanding? Reward? I’m afraid you’re not gonna have the opportunity anymore…” Before his voice faded, police sirens were heard wailing outside. “What do we do, bro? The police are outside. We have nowhere to run…”

What else could happen, anyway? But today’s matter…” the man said before looking daggers at

into Alexander’s arms, unable to hold back her tears. It didn’t take long before her tears formed a wet patch on his chest. “There, now. Nothing’s gonna happen since I’m here for you.” Elise slowly slipped out of Alexander’s arms while looking at him through a mist of tears. “Do you know I really was in despair at that moment? I was so scared…” Before she could finish her sentence,

with her, he went out carrying her in his arms. Neither of them spoke on their way back since Elise was still suffering from shock. She had no idea who would make such a cruel attempt on her life. When the car stopped at the neighborhood where Elise currently resided, Alexander held

side by side toward the lobby before taking the elevator to Elise’s apartment. After opening the door to her apartment, Elise turned sideways to make way for Alexander, saying, “Come in.” Alexander went in after her. At this moment, Elise no longer seemed as panicky as before. She became unusually calm. After setting aside the shock just now, she was able to calm herself

asked, “You… How did you know I was in trouble?” Alexander explained truthfully, “I saw that you had yet to come back, so I called you on your cell phone, but your cell phone was switched off. So, I asked Brendan…” He then summarized the rest of the story in a few sentences. After listening to his words, Elise merely replied, “Oh,” in a soft voice without saying anything else. Finally, she said, “Thanks. If you hadn’t shown up in the nick of time… the consequences would’ve been too ghastly to imagine.” Alexander came forward and took

not necessary. I’ll be more careful in the future so that such a thing won’t happen again.” Alexander seemed to have predicted such an outcome. Luckily, he had made preparations in advance. “Since this is what you wish, I’ll respect your decision. It’s getting pretty late.
