Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 103

Thud! Alexander froze at the sound. After a brief pause, he turned around and saw that Sophia had thrown her bag on the ground at the bus stop instead of leaving as he had expected. Following this, he saw her start to crack her knuckles menacingly.

“Sophia?”

As the handful of men started to approach them, Alexander moved to shield Sophia behind him before taking a step back. All the while, his eyebrows were furrowed in confusion.

Sophia glanced at him and said, “It's all right. I haven't had much chance to practice for quite some time.”

Just as she completed her sentence, the men swung their bats at them. Alexander's chest tightened as he shouted, “Watch out!”

He was about to pull Sophia away when he realized that she had already kicked one of their attackers to the ground.

Before he could react, a gust of wind suddenly rushed past his ears. He swiftly tilted his head and narrowly managed to avoid the attack from the man before him. With his other hand, he blocked an incoming blow from a baseball bat and proceeded to tug on it with the full force of his weight. His opponent inevitably fell forward toward him, and Alexander smoothly finished him off with a kick, causing the former to collapse to the side.

Of the five men that had approached them, three had engaged with Alexander while the remaining two were dealing with Sophia.

As Alexander took in this scene, his heart suddenly went out to the men he was engaged in battle with. Each blow he dealt them was more forceful than he had used during his training sessions. As he had started bodybuilding and learning how to fight from a young age, each blow he dealt was executed with perfect technique and inevitably sent the men crumbling to the ground, wailing in pain.

Once he had wiped the floor with his opponents, he wanted to head over to lend Sophia a hand. However, he happened to see that one of the men had risen from the ground and was about to launch a sneak attack on Sophia with the baseball bat he held in his hand. Alexander panicked, and he yelled, “Your left!”

No sooner had the words come out of his mouth did he see Sophia deftly pivot ninety degrees to the side to dodge the incoming sneak attack. She followed up smoothly by yanking hard on the baseball bat before she rammed her elbow on the attacker's lower back. As a finishing move of sorts, she viciously kicked hard at both of his knees. Unable to support his weight in that split second, the man invariably collapsed on his knees.

As Sophia had a huge coat on, she was unable to extend her arms and legs out to their usual full range of motion. However, despite the limitations and constraints she faced, she was ultimately still able to fell the two men using the limited repertoire of moves she had available.

In just a mere two minutes, the ground was covered with collapsed men as they groaned and writhed in pain.

Alexander stood there and watched as Sophia impassively walked to the side of the bus stop where she had earlier thrown her bag to the ground. As the cool night breeze blew past her face, her hair was picked up and whipped across her cheeks. She deftly grabbed hold of the errant strands and hooked them behind her ear. In that moment, her cool demeanor and beauty were nothing short of captivating.

Somehow, he hadn't known she was that adept at fighting.

Just then, a car suddenly drove past them, and Alexander snapped back to reality. He directed his attention back toward the men on the ground before he strode over to Sophia's side and asked, “Are you hurt?”

“Nope,” she replied.

She patted her bag lightly before she glanced at him and handed him his set of car keys. “You can head back first. I have some matters to take care of.”

He accepted the car keys but didn't leave. Instead, he probed, “What do you have to do?”

Sophia didn't respond to his question. She merely bent down and picked up a baseball bat before she headed over to the man who had led the assault earlier. Resting the baseball bat on his shoulder, she smirked lightly as she asked, “Did the Whitton family send you?”

“Spare me, gorgeous! We're merely mercenaries. All we did was take some money and did as instructed. I don't know anything about the Whitton family and whether they were involved. Rex was the one who hired us to keep an eye on you,” wailed the man.

“Rex?” she repeated.

She couldn't help but frown as she picked up on this unfamiliar name.

Just then, Alexander's mellow voice spoke up from behind her. “It should be Rex Langford. He's the right-hand man that Javier has been keeping around.”

Sophia raised her eyebrows at this and surmised that she really hadn't wronged anyone after all.

The men on the ground knew that they had well and truly lost this time. They started pleading desperately for mercy from Sophia. However, she scoffed lightly and said, “Each of you is just under two meters tall, and yet you can't even take a hit. What a useless bunch of men!”

Even though Alexander was standing a distance away, he was still able to pick up on her casual remark and noted that he was just under two meters tall as well. He frowned slightly and murmured, “I'm 1.9 meters tall.”

I'm useful, and I can take hits too...

In a rare moment of surprise, Sophia was taken aback and froze before she remarked, “Mr. Xenos, you're really tall.”

She brushed him off and perfunctorily replied with a compliment before she took up the baseball bat and headed to the side of the road to wait for the bus.

Alexander wasn't too pleased at having just received an insincere compliment. As such, he followed behind her and asked, “Where are you heading to?”

Tilting her head to the side, she glanced at him as she replied, “I'm in a relatively poor mood today, Alexander, so let me give you a word of warning. You better not annoy me any further.”

She didn't know what she was capable of doing if she got annoyed or riled up any further by him.
