Chapter 155: Opportunity Came Only Once
The opportunity was right there before their eyes, and if they missed it, it might never come again.
Benjamin didn’t achieve the exact outcome he wanted, but Martina unexpectedly gained something.
According to the young monk, the explanation on Martina’s drawing stick was also very
good.
“You will surely have great wealth and prosperity in the future, but it seems that you have some obstacles in your relationship,” he explained. “I would like to advise you to keep your eyes wide open and not choose the wrong person.”
Martina didn’t have comments on the explanation. She remained very confused until the moment she left. What was all that about? She asked about her wealth, but why did the
young monk give an unrelated answer?
What she didn’t know was that her relationship and her wealth were actually related. Sometimes, one wrong step could lead to a series of mistakes!
The young monk’s explanation wasn’t really a problem; it just depended on how Martina would interpret it.
On their way back, they decided to take some transportation descend the mountain due to the rough and bumpy road. However, if they wanted to take transportation, they had to go
to the exit on the eastern side in advance.
Currently, Martina and the others were on the western side, and they still had to walk. for almost a mile to reach the exit. Thankfully, it was within a reasonable walking distance for them. They also took a look at the surrounding scenery.
Everything seemed normal until they passed by a nearby public restroom, where suddenly they heard screams coming from inside.
“What are you guys doing? Let go of me! I’ll call the cops if you don’t let go! Can you hear me?”
“Oh, you want to call the cops? Do you even know where you are? Even if you call 911, how long will it take for the cops to arrive?” Along with the girl’s desperate cries, there was a voice of a sleazy man who didn’t seem to be bothered at all. “By the time the cops arrive on the mountain, everything that needed to be done, legal or not, will already be done, and we’ll be long gone. Do you think calling 911 will be of any use?”
Indeed, the difficulty of access here meant that even if something illegal was happening, the police wouldn’t be able to arrive quickly. Some people took advantage is
situation to do illegal things here.
The girl in the restroom was filled with despair and started crying, “Please, just let me
go! We have no grudges against each other. Why are you targeting me?”
“My boyfriend will be here soon. If he sees you bullying me, watch out! He’s a
taekwondo student, and he’ll definitely make you regret it.”
Martina couldn’t bear it any longer. It was clear that someone had malicious intentions
in this place.
Even though there weren’t too many people on the mountain, there were still quite a
few around. Were these people out of their minds? However, the others who heard the
commotion pretended to be indifferent and didn’t want to get involved.
Martina took a deep breath, her eyes filled with disgust. Without saying a word, she
took a couple of quick steps, intending to rush over and give those people a good lesson.
However, Benjamin was quick to step in and stop Martina. No way he would let his
woman get involved in this situation.
“Simon,” Benjamin called out in a low voice, and Simon immediately understood his
boss’s intention. He rushed into the women’s restroom without hesitation. In such a special
situation, he couldn’t worry about other things; he had to save the girl in danger.
After about two minutes, the restroom echoed with the sound of a fierce fight and the pleas of those sleazy men. Well, to be precise, they started by threatening, but slowly that
seemed to change.
“Who are you again? Mind your own business! Let me tell you, we can handle ourselves very well. Don’t think you can just fool us with anyone!” these men exclaimed.
Then they turned to the girl. “You think your boyfriend left the mountain after fighting with you. Did you really think we weren’t watching?”
Their words were met with a piercing scream that seemed to reach the heavens. “Okay, okay, stop hitting us! We know we were wrong. How can you be so good at fighting? Spare us, please. Please let us go, we won’t dare to do it again…”
Simon remained silent throughout the encounter.
After a few more minutes, he walked out of the restroom with the girl who had been
bullied.
Seeing the disheveled state of the girl, Martina was relieved that she had lent her coat to cover the girl. Otherwise, the girl would be too embarrassed to show her face.
Martina approached the girl and asked, “Are you okay? Did they physically harm you?” The girl shook her head in fear and couldn’t hold back her tears when she saw Martina. She hugged Martina tightly. “I was so scared, really scared. Why are there bad people ever in a place like this? Aren’t there any good men left in this world?”
At that moment, Benjamin became slightly displeased.
He had instructed someone to assist the girl, but how did she end up competing for
Martina’s affection? She could hug Simon instead.
Benjamin’s expression worsened, and even Simon couldn’t help but shiver.
It seemed like the boss was angry. Why? Could it be because this girl hugged Martina? Simon couldn’t think of any other reason. His mouth twitched as he pondered, “I never
expected the boss to be so petty now.”
It looked like he would have to continue siding with Martina. As long as she was happy, everyone was happy! And if she was upset, it would be doomsday for all of them!
Martina could affect Benjamin’s mood without even doing anything. Didn’t that prove
everything?
Simon understood Benjamin the best, but the others didn’t seem to grasp what was
going on.
Martina patiently comforted the distressed girl, “It’s okay now. Don’t worry, I already called the cops, and those bad people won’t get away!”
With Simon here and Benjamin guarding, there was no way they could escape.
The conscience of the passersby seemed to be awakened too, as they voluntarily surrounded the restroom, leaving no way out.
“Don’t worry, miss. We won’t leave until the cops arrive and these scumbags are handed
over to them,” assured Simon. “It’s outrageous that someone dares to do such things in
broad daylight. They have no shame!”
In this moment, the girl’s heart found solace as she gazed at the gorgeous Martina before her, feeling deeply touched. She glanced at Simon, and a hint of shyness quickly flashed across her face, “Thank you for saving me.”
Meanwhile, Benjamin was completely ignored.
