Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 555 Court Battle

Just as Tessa was about to dodge, Landon pulled her into his arms and casually swatted the basketball aside.

It looked effortless, but the ball slammed into the backboard with a loud thud and bounced far across the court, making the bystanders freeze in surprise.

Several guys who had been eyeing Tessa ever since she enrolled instantly bristled when they saw the commanding presence of the man beside her. Their expressions turned hostile.

"Tessa, is this your boyfriend? Doesn't look like much," said the one in front, holding the ball, his tone laced with provocation. In his mind, no matter how intimidating someone looked, they'd have to fold on a basketball court.

Tessa frowned. "It's none of your business."

"No need to be so cold." He turned toward Landon, lifting his chin. "You got the guts to go one-on-one? Loser backs off and stays away from Tessa."

Landon glanced down at the girl in his arms, gently squeezing her waist with his fingertips.

• Of course he knew what this guy was thinking:

His girl was exceptional-people wanting her was nothing new. But this kind of arrogant little punk? That

was rare.

"No need for one-on-one." Landon let go of Tessa. His voice was calm and flat. "You can all come at me." He preferred clean and efficient problem-solving-not drawn-out nonsense.
