Sumr Monroe jolted awake and imdiately reached for her phone.
The caller ID showed Finn Ford.
At this hour, why would Finn be calling her?
Considering Holly Holloway might already be asleep, she got out of bed and answered the phone in the bathroom.
"Hey, little brother, what’s..."
Before Sumr could finish, Finn’s anxious voice ca through: "Boss, help!"
Accompanying Finn’s voice, the sounds of a fight could also be heard.
Sumr’s expression instantly beca serious. Gripping the phone tightly, she asked in a deep voice, "Where are you guys?"
"The night market at the school back gate!"
"I’m coming right away!" Sumr hung up the phone and headed straight for the door.
At that mont, Holly Holloway sat up on the bed and asked, "Sumr, where are you going?"
"A friend is in trouble. I need to go to the school back gate."
"The dormitory door is locked at this ti. I’ll go down with you. The dorm supervisor is my relative, I’ll have her open the door for you."
Sumr paused for a mont, then nodded, "Alright, thank you."
"No problem, you’ve helped so much, I haven’t even figured out how to repay you." Holly said as she quickly got out of bed.
With Holly’s help, Sumr managed to leave the girls’ dormitory building after curfew.
Holly wanted to follow and help, but Sumr politely declined.
"It’s not a big deal, go back to sleep. If I don’t return by tomorrow morning, rember to call in for ."
"Alright!" Holly, afraid she would cause more trouble, didn’t insist on following.
...
The night market at the school back gate.
A group of n with masks, their entire faces obscured, aggressively chased two boys.
The night market was in chaos, with broken bottles and overturned tables scattered all over. The diners had long fled.
The night market vendor, both angry and scared, hid in a corner and was just about to call the police when a man snatched his phone and smashed it to the ground, arrogantly saying, "We’ll compensate your losses later, but if you dare call the police... hehe."
The threat in the man’s eyes was obvious.
The night market vendor, terrified, waved his hands repeatedly: "I won’t call the police, I won’t call..."
The man sneered again, turned around, and led two others into the night market.
Finn had just finished his call with Sumr when he turned his head, seeing a bottle flying toward him.
He had no ti to dodge, and just as it was about to hit him, a foot swiftly kicked the bottle in mid-air. It shattered on the ground with a "Bang——".
"Finn Ford! What are you doing?!" Ronan Kingston glared at Finn.
At a ti like this, and he still had ti to make a phone call?
Finn quickly said, "I was calling the boss! You won’t let call the Kingston Family or my family, so we have to find so backup, right?"
Ronan looked speechlessly at Finn: "Backup? You think Sumr Monroe is backup? No matter how good her hacking skills are, she’s just a girl. You idiot, you’d better hope she doesn’t co!"
Having her here would just add another weakness.
There were only about ten of them, and they had already taken down half. The remaining half could be handled by the two of them.
If the Kingston Family was alerted, wouldn’t they just think he was weak and continue to push him to study instead of fight?
It was only after Ronan’s reminder that Finn rembered, no matter how skilled Sumr was, she was still just a girl. How could a girl handle fighting?
He suddenly felt regretful.
He was just about to call her back to tell her not to co when those masked n entered the night market.
