Magnus had given him special permissions so that he could schedule his evening self–study sessions. This flexibility was crucial since his mother was severely ill and could need urgent medical attention at any time.

Even with his duties at the auto repair shop, he missed his weekend shifts. Occasionally, if he was occupied at night, he would take time off to lend a hand. 

Tonight, Joshua ensured he attended his evening self–study sessions. 

Isabelle, in a rare occurrence, stayed as

well. 

Isabelle was replying to George’s message on her phone. 

Upon seeing Joshua stay for the evening self–study sessions, Isabelle texted George, telling him not to come tonight as she would be attending the session. 

Isabelle attending an evening self–study session was an unusual event. George was concerned about her eyes, and naturally had a few more questions. 

Halfway through the evening self–study session, Joshua quietly left. 

He left just in time to catch the last bus. 

He got off the bus and walked into the alley, entering the run–down residential area. 

He hurried home to prepare medicine for his mother. The alley was quite dark, illuminated only by the 

lights from the residents‘ homes. 

As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was confronted by a dozen or so pipes. 

He turned around and instinctively tried to run.

“We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. If you come back any later, I’ll go upstairs and wreck your place,” the leader said, cigarette dangling from his mouth as ground with the steel pipe in his

Joshua’s expression darkened. “What do you want?” 

“D*mn it! You injured my friend. And you’re asking me what I want? My friend is lying in the hospital because of you.” The leader’s voice was filled with anger. 

Joshua, clearly familiar with such 

ns, understood what they wanted. “I don’t have any money.” 

The leader prodded Joshua’s chest with the steel pipe in his hand. “Who are you trying to fool? You’re a student at Taragon University, and you dare say you have no money? If you don’t come up with 3,000

Joshua clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, he lowered his left shoulder, swinging the backpack slung over it into his arm. Gripping the bag tightly, he wielded it at the leader. 

The backpack, loaded with who knows what, smashed directly into the leader’s nose, causing it to bleed profusely. 

Seeing this, the lackeys rushed forward in a frenzy. 

Joshua had no parents to rely on since childhood. He started working part–time in middle school to earn a meagre living. He often dealt with thugs, and due to his personality and circumstances, he had been in many fights. 

If he fought hard enough once, the other party would usually not dare to trouble him again. 

He had plenty of experience, including in fighting. 

Despite his seemingly frail appearance, he was quite skilled in combat. 

He wielded the backpack as a weapon, but facing multiple opponents was tough. Before long, he had taken two hits. 

The leader, stung by the blow from the backpack, became furious. 

Just as the steel pipe in the leader’s hand was about to strike Joshua’s back, another pipe struck his arm, breaking it directly and preventing the blow. 

Isabelle appeared seemingly out of nowhere. 

Leaning against the wall, Joshua watched as she wielded a steel pipe, striking down one by one. 

In just a few strikes, she had incapacitated the thugs, her blows ruthless and effective, shattering bones with each hit, rendering them unable to fight back. 

She was more ruthless than any thug Joshua had encountered over the years. 

Just as Joshua was about to breathe a sigh of relief … 

But to his surprise, just as Isabelle knocked down the last person with a strike, she abruptly spun and a steel pipe swung towards Joshua’s head. 

Joshua’s pupils contracted sharply. 

He didn’t have time to react. 

In his astonished, wide–eyed gaze, he saw Isabelle’s calm face. 

around, 

The steel pipe, carrying a fierce momentum, smashed towards him. He watched as his head was about to be split open, expecting the inevitable splash of blood. 

However, at the last moment, the steel pipe stopped firmly, just inches from his head, pressing against his hair. Joshua even felt the chilling temperature of the nine.

Joshua was startled, breaking out in a cold sweat. He swallowed hard and asked, “What … what are you doing?” as he looked at Isabelle. 

Isabelle looked at him, who seemed a bit slow to react, and asked without changing her expression, “Do you think this steel pipe looks good?” 

Joshua stared at her as if she were crazy. 

Isabelle then tossed the steel pipe to the ground. “I’m just kidding.” 

Joshua leaned against the wall, catching his breath. It took some effort for him to straighten up. He had taken a few blows from the steel pipes, and every breath was painful. 

Glancing at the thugs writhing on the ground, he turned to Isabelle, who had her hands in her pockets, and asked, “Why are you following me?” 

Isabelle responded, “I wasn’t following you. I heard there’s a place nearby that sells authentic chicken soup noodles. I came to buy some.” 

Joshua asked, “Did you get them?” 

Isabelle answered, “I couldn’t find it.” 

Joshua glanced at her but didn’t say anything more. He held his stomach and stepped into the dark hallway, preparing to head home. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Isabelle stopped him. “I saved you, and you didn’t even say thank you. You should at least take me to buy noodles, right?”
