Feeling the immense force transmitted through his hand, the man pretending to be a thug couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment on his face. He was well aware of his own strength.
Even a piece of steel would be pierced through with such a thrust.
Yet, the fork he held in his grip was unexpectedly caught by the chopsticks controlled by the opponent's fingers, which struck him with tremendous shock.
What he found most unacceptable was that the person who made such a move was a 'delicate' woman, and ironically, she was also the target they needed to capture!
Where had the intelligence gone wrong?
The two chosen to approach the target and find an opportunity for capture had top-notch execution and adaptability skills.
Upon realizing something was amiss, another accomplice who wasn't restricted immediately drew out an Electric Shock Gun, sending crackling blue sparks toward Laiwei.
He understood that trying to take her away in a 'legitimate' manner was no longer realistic; now they could only resort to quickly binding her.
He believed that even a powerful expert would lose their ability to resist for a short time when struck by this modified Electric Shock Gun.
Meanwhile, Laiwei, who had intercepted the attack aimed at Yang Xiaoyou, initially prepared to express her anger. However, the relentless assault that followed made her realize something was wrong.
The opponent's reaction and skills were far beyond what an ordinary thug could possess. The fact that they immediately pulled out an Electric Shock Gun after missing their first strike indicated that their initial goal was indeed to target the two of them!
At this moment, Laiwei, who had been slightly slow to react, understood that the newcomers meant trouble.
However, the Electric Shock Gun crackling with blue sparks had already reached her front. As she awkwardly attempted to dodge, the man holding the fork decisively grabbed her hand that was holding the chopsticks in defense, coordinating with his partner's attack.
The synergy displayed by the two was seamless, clearly indicating they were seasoned partners who had trained together multiple times.
Although in terms of strength, the man fell short compared to Laiwei, it was ultimately two hands against one. Moreover, she was in an awkward position without a solid footing.
Combined with the element of surprise, even a top-tier expert who had reached a profound understanding of power found themselves at a disadvantage against two agents whose abilities were significantly inferior.
One hand was restrained, causing her body to pause momentarily. The Electric Shock Gun was now unavoidable!
With a sharp sound that made one’s ears tingle, the Electric Shock Gun, crackling with blue sparks, stopped just a centimeter from Laiwei's shoulder.
Even a few strands of her hair were singed, giving off a burnt smell.
At that moment, Laiwei didn’t have time to react to why her opponent had exposed such a flaw; instead, she unleashed the qualities expected of someone at her level of strength.
Using her other hand to brace against the table in front of her, she suddenly arched her body in an unusual manner. In mid-air, she created a natural curve as her long and powerful right leg struck the neck of the man holding the Electric Shock Gun. Following through, she slammed her left knee into the head of the man who still had a tight grip on her right arm.
The two attackers were sent flying in opposite directions, and even in mid-air, the sound of cracking bones sent chills down one’s spine.
Seizing the opportunity and finding the flaw, she instantly turned the dire situation around. This was the ability to control rhythm that a strong fighter at the Momentum Level possessed.
From nearly being incapacitated by the Electric Shock Gun to taking down both men in one swift motion, it all happened in an instant.
Even the few onlookers nearby were completely caught off guard, unable to react to how the situation had shifted from the thug threatening to keep her there to this sudden turn of events.
After taking down both men in one breath, Laiwei finally had a chance to understand why her opponents had hesitated.
It seemed that someone had pushed the table in front of them, causing the corner to strike the 'vital' area of the man with the Electric Shock Gun.
Although the table legs were designed with curves to minimize injury, it was still a table covered in alloy skin. No matter how tough a man was, he couldn’t remain unfazed after being attacked in such a sensitive area.
“Uh, did you push it?” After casually surveying the battlefield and making an estimate, Laiwei expressed some surprise as she turned to Yang Xiaoyou beside her.
“Alright, there are still their accomplices outside. That was Duh's call earlier; he informed us of an emergency situation. The guards who were following you just in case have all been dealt with. Hey, I bet even Brother Luo didn’t expect their reaction speed to be this fast,” Yang Xiaoyou nodded in agreement.
"No matter what, I owe you a favor." Laiwei was not one to be overly sentimental. After quickly assessing the situation, she rushed over to the two men who had been kicked away, checking their gear. She had come out for shopping, after all.
She found a dagger and kept it for herself, then tossed the Electric Shock Gun to Yang Xiaoyou. Squatting behind a table near the floor-to-ceiling window, she took a moment to scan the outside environment.
The two men from earlier would not have been her match even if they had attacked together. However, due to a moment of carelessness on her part and their unexpected assault, she had nearly found herself in deep trouble.
In terms of physical capability, she was still human. If she were hit by the Electric Shock Gun, she would definitely lose her combat ability for a short time, and those two skilled fighters would not give her any chance to recover.
There were plenty of examples of top-tier experts falling victim to Rolo's schemes, where the weak triumphed over the strong. A single weapon in hand, even if it were cold weapons, could easily cause significant damage if it successfully struck an opponent.
Having learned her lesson once, Laiwei did not want to suffer a second time. If her opponents were truly as coordinated and adept at seizing opportunities as Special Forces Personnel, combined with their equipment, they would indeed be formidable foes.
Perhaps escaping alone wouldn't be too difficult, but bringing Beside along would complicate matters significantly.
After they had just saved her once, Laiwei couldn't bring herself to abandon him on a whim. She wondered if those men would take their anger out on him.
The man disguised as a thug who had started wielding a fork showed that he had no intention of letting this boy go.
Her skin was reacting badly; it was incredibly uncomfortable and clashed with the medication she had taken before. For now, she could only apply ointments instead of taking pills.
