Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

Chapter 109 Beaten To A Pulp

turned to look at the men.“You have nowhere to escape now, huh?” one man sneered as his gaze gleamed with malice. “Surrender without putting up a fight, so you won’t have to suffer as much.”“Escape?” Sophie repeated mockingly. “You’re nothing but trash. Why do I need to escape?”“Ha!” The leader let out a mirthless laugh. She’s confident, huh? ”Take her away!”The mercenaries stepped forward menacingly, but Sophie was still fiddling with the wire of her earphone.Before they could reach her, she pulled out a piece of gum and unwrapped it before tossing it into her mouth.Chewing on her gum, she observed the men carefully.Finally, the mercenaries stopped in front of her. Sophie darted out of their way before they could take action against her.Leaping into the air, she kicked one man’s crotch forcefully.Sophie didn’t like beating around the bush. These were deadly mercenaries, so she didn’t hold back and attacked them mercilessly.The mercenaries collapsed to the ground one by one.The leader of the mercenaries was scowling by now. His subordinates were skilled but got defeated by the young lady easily.“You’re the only one left. Come on!” Sophie said arrogantly.“You must be sick of living!” the leader growled. He shrugged out of his jacket and tossed it aside, then strode toward Sophie ominously.Without wasting time, he pulled his gun out and aimed for Sophie’s head.“We never wanted to kill you. Just come with us,” the man commanded.“No.” There was no way she’d leave with them easily.At that moment, Tristan’s car rolled to a stop before the alley.His heart clenched up anxiously when he thought of Sophie entering the quiet alley instead of listening to his words.The alley was eerily silent, and for a moment, Tristan dared not walk into it.Bang!A loud gunshot rang out, prompting Tristan to dash in.To his shock, he saw over ten mercenaries moaning in anguish on the ground.One man’s wrist was bleeding, as he had been shot.Sophie, however, had over ten guns with her.She arched a brow at the sight of him.Tristan hurried over to her and only relaxed after making sure she was all right.“Who sent you here?” Tristan went to the leader.However, the leader merely glared at him and refused to spill a word.“You won’t say anything, huh? Never mind. I’ll make you regret what you have done today.”Right after he said that, Felix appeared with over a dozen of men in black.Tristan ordered, “Bring them back, but don’t let them die.”He wanted to question them personally after sending Sophie back home.Felix noticed the mercenaries rolling in pain on the ground and cast Sophie a look.Despite knowing Sophie wasn’t someone to be trifled with, he had no idea she was capable of beating the mercenaries to a pulp.He couldn’t help but wonder how many secrets she had.I don’t think I can defeat the mercenaries alone.The alley was silent once again.Tristan stood silently in his spot. He was obviously upset at her.Sophie spat her gum into a piece of tissue before going to him.“Mr. Tristan, are you mad at me?” Sophie asked.“Why didn’t you listen to me?” Tristan’s entire being was still shaking in fear. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if something were to happen to her.“I wanted to listen to you, but they were armed. So—”“You came here knowing that they had guns? Sophie, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Tristan interjected, a wave of fury crashing through him.Sophie was befuddled by his anger.In her opinion, she was just trying to prevent a gunfight in Jipsdale.“The street was crowded, and I didn’t want—”“Those people have nothing to do with me. Why would I bother about their safety? Your safety is my priority,” Tristan cut in.His words might sound selfish, but
