Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0578

As Nicholas turned to shout at me, a rod swung down toward him. He couldn't react fast enough and had to raise his arm to shield his head.

A sharp clang rang out, the metallic impact unmistakably painful. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his arm trembled from the force of the blow.

"Help! Someone's being attacked!" a voice called out amidst the chaos, and panic spread through the crowd. Parents waiting to drop off their kids scattered, leaving me frozen in place.

The attackers shifted their focus to me. Their eyes glinted with malice as they advanced.

Nicholas noticed immediately. He grabbed one of the men by the collar and swung him toward the other two. The group tumbled to the ground like bowling pins.

He snatched up one of their rods, and the situation flipped. With the weapon in his hand, he coldly demanded, Who sent you?"

The attackers exchanged glances but said nothing.
