Kristian's gaze snapped to the window at these words.

His eyes widened with horror at the scene unfolding across the open area.

Six assailants wielded baseball bats against Freya, their faces contorted with murderous intent as they swung simultaneously.

Combat wasn't his strength, so waiting for Kristian and Freya's return seemed the wiser choice.

Freya battled fiercely, unaware of the nearby vehicle.

As six bats arced toward her, she responded without hesitation-two attackers fell from her powerful kicks while her own bat connected in the same instant.

Terror gripped the remaining attackers.
