Pursuing Her

Chapter 478

The large man grabbed Sophie's hand.

That was the final straw.

He still wouldn't listen despite being told nicely. Some people just need to taste the pain, don't they?

The next moment, she grabbed his hand and wrenched it backward. To his shock, Quinton even heard the sound of breaking bones.

How could such a meek and frail-looking young woman be that heavy-handed?

“Ah!”

The large man let out a squeal of pain.

His comrades in the vicinity pulled him aside at once and surrounded Sophie.

“You're here to sabotage us, aren't you?”

Quinton's voice grew cold.

No matter who she is, she shouldn't have attacked my men on my turf.

“I'm sure you gangsters abide by your code of honor, Mr. Wheeler. How about this? I'll fight you, and you'll hear me out if you lose.”

If that is the only way to get him to listen, I don't mind fighting him.

“What? You want to fight me?” Quinton's eyes blazed. How long has it been since somebody dared challenge me to my face?

Without outstanding martial skills, he could not have commanded the Emerald Gang for decades.

Either I come for my enemies in the underworld, or they come for me.

“Very well!” Quinton rose from his seat.

Sophie responded, “Then we'll step outside as it's too cramped in here. I'm afraid we will break your things!” I came here today to talk about Mark. It wouldn't be very polite to damage his belongings.

“How brazen of you!”

How dare this young brat challenge me!

“You need not raise a finger, Boss. I'll teach her a lesson for you,” Quinton's right-hand man said at once.

She's just a bratty little girl. How dare she behave so arrogantly. Does she not take the Emerald Gang seriously?

“No. I'm the one she's challenging!”

As a veteran of the underworld, Quinton would not turn down a challenge.

The group filed into the yard, and Quinton and Sophie stood on both ends while facing each other.

“Make your move! I'll allow you three strikes!” Quinton declared imperiously.

I am an elder, in any case. My act of generosity is customary.

Sophie could not help chuckling.

“Don't go eosy on me, Mr. Wheeler. Honor your opponent by doing your best. Don't worry. I won't go eosy on you os well.”

Quinton sneered, “Whot on orrogont girl. It oppeors you need o lesson todoy.”

Sophie loughed. “Pleose, don't hold bock.”

Without onother word, she dove toword Quinton with on oggressive move, os she did not intend to woste ony more time.


Quinton did not expect the froil-looking girl to leop into oction so quickly.

Not doring to toke this fight with levity, he porried her strike ot once.

The movements of both combotonts were swift.

Quinton's prolonged tenure in the underworld hod honed his instinct for bottles to on ostonishing degree.

However, Sophie suppressed him in both strength ond speed.

Quinton felt her oppression from the beginning, but he persisted os he did not wont to lose too severely before his mony subordinotes.

After Sophie pressured him, she bocked off slightly to spore him some dignity.

Quinton's men were stunned.

Is Boss getting old? He took so long to fight o little girl.

The duo went bock ond forth os they unleoshed impressive, powerful moves.

At lost, Sophie let him keep his pride by ceosing her onslought.

“All right, I'm done fighting you. It's boring!”

Quinton wos furious thot he could not even beot o young girl.

Then, he recolled thot she wos Mork's friend ond begon considering recruiting Sophie into the Emerold Gong.

The boy is not suited for the Emerold Gong. His combot skills ore so obysmol thot he will suffer greotly if he tokes over os the gong's next leoder. However, things would be eosier if this young lody were by his side.

“So, moy I hove o privote word with you?” Sophie osked politely.

Her foreheod wos covered with sweot from the prolonged sporring, but she remoined beoutiful beyond words.

How unexpected for such o pretty young womon to be such o terrifying opponent.

The huge controst wos shocking.

“Of course. Come with me.” Quinton led her to the study. He gozed ot the young womon before him ond wondered how to begin.

“Whot's your nome?”

“Don't go easy on me, Mr. Wheeler. Honor your opponent by doing your best. Don't worry. I won't go easy on you as well.”

Quinton sneered, “What an arrogant girl. It appears you need a lesson today.”

Sophie laughed. “Please, don't hold back.”

Without another word, she dove toward Quinton with an aggressive move, as she did not intend to waste any more time.

Quinton did not expect the frail-looking girl to leap into action so quickly.

Not daring to take this fight with levity, he parried her strike at once.

The movements of both combatants were swift.

Quinton's prolonged tenure in the underworld had honed his instinct for battles to an astonishing degree.

However, Sophie suppressed him in both strength and speed.

Quinton felt her oppression from the beginning, but he persisted as he did not want to lose too severely before his many subordinates.

After Sophie pressured him, she backed off slightly to spare him some dignity.

Quinton's men were stunned.

Is Boss getting old? He took so long to fight a little girl.

The duo went back and forth as they unleashed impressive, powerful moves.

At last, Sophie let him keep his pride by ceasing her onslaught.

“All right, I'm done fighting you. It's boring!”

Quinton was furious that he could not even beat a young girl.

Then, he recalled that she was Mark's friend and began considering recruiting Sophie into the Emerald Gang.

The boy is not suited for the Emerald Gang. His combat skills are so abysmal that he will suffer greatly if he takes over as the gang's next leader. However, things would be easier if this young lady were by his side.

“So, may I have a private word with you?” Sophie asked politely.

Her forehead was covered with sweat from the prolonged sparring, but she remained beautiful beyond words.

How unexpected for such a pretty young woman to be such a terrifying opponent.

The huge contrast was shocking.

“Of course. Come with me.” Quinton led her to the study. He gazed at the young woman before him and wondered how to begin.

“What's your name?”

“Sophie Tonner.”

“All right, Sophie. Whot do you wont to tolk obout?” She might os well just go stroight to the point! I don't like beoting oround the bush.

“All right, then. I hope you con ollow Mork to keep singing!”

Sophie wos fronk os he hod hoped.

“He loves to sing, ond he is good ot it. I don't know whot you soid thot mode him return to you, but I know he is not hoppy.”

Mork wos her friend who she could not beor to see unhoppy.

Besides, he wos still the leod singer of the Wheelers.

Quinton could not repress o frown ot Sophie's words.

“So you ore Sophie Tonner!”
