bChapter /b156

b“/bbMiss/b, someone paid us to teach you a lesson,” the man at the front, with a tattoo on his face, stared intently at Olivia. “What a pity for such a pretty girl. Who did you offend? We’re just doing our job for the money.

“The Sherman family, right?” Olivia replied with a clear, softugh.

b“/bWhy would I tell you that? Guys, get her, the leader said.

Andrew raised an eyebrow. “Need my help?”

“No, stay back.” Olivia said.

The next second, one of the men lunged at them, aiming to strike Andrew.

Olivia casually raised her hand and grabbed the man’s throat, her voice cold. “The person who paid you didn’t tell you that I’m the reigning champion of thest martialbat tournament?”

Before Olivia could even make a move, the man was kicked to the ground, and Howard started beating him, straddling him.

Howard cursed as he hit the man. “You jerk, instead of going home and sleeping at night, you follow Olivia. I’ll beat you so hard your mom won’t recognize you.”

Hearing this, Olivia knew who it was.

The remaining men charged at Olivia.

Olivia picked up a wooden stick and struck one of the men’s knees.

Crack. The sound of a bone breaking.

“Whoa–Olivia, you’re fierce.” Howard’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Another thug rushed over, but Howard was quick, grabbing his neck.

Howard lifted a burly man with one hand.

Howard growled, “Come at me. I’ll tear you apart with my bare hands. You like fighting so much. I’ll give you a real beating.”

The man Howard had grabbed hadn’t even reacted before he was punched t, stretched out, and then punched t again.

This cycle repeated, and it was unclear how much time had passed.

Olivia had already taken care of the remaining thugs and was now standing next to Andrew, watching the show.

“I didn’t expect him to be so strong.” Andrew, propping his chin on his hand, was very impressed with

Howard’s fighting skills.

Olivia nodded.

After all afternoon, she still hadn’t figured out what Howard was after.

“Hey, don’t kill him,” Olivia said coldly. “I need to ask him some questions.”

Howard stopped, dropped the man to the ground, and tilted his head, signaling Olivia to ask her questions.

The man was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground, but with Howard stepping on him, he couldn’t even move much.

“Tell me, who sent you?” Olivia squatted down and lifted his chin.

“I don’t know.” The man was still being stubborn, gritting his teeth and holding out.

Just as Howard thought Olivia was about to strike, she let go, narrowing her eyes and sending a chilling

coldness toward the man.

Even Howard was scared and warned, “I suggest you tell the truth.”

His intuition told him that Olivia was extremely dangerous.

“You don’t need to persuade him. We’ll handle this civilly.” Olivia cracked her neck and waved at Andrew. “Medicine box.”

“What do you mean?” Howard was puzzled and didn’t understand what she was up to.

‘These people came to fight her. How can she handle it civilly?‘ Howard thought to himself.

Andrew had already brought over the medicine box.

“Give me the short needles,” Olivia said without looking up, took the needles Andrew handed her, and waved them in front of the man on the ground, her smile sinister. “Have you guys ever heard of a type of torture?

“Silver needles into the body, twelve needles in total, one by one, inserted into your body.

“After that, whether you walk, sit, or lie down, these silver needles will move through your blood, traveling inside your body and causing you unbearable pain.” Olivia held the man’s finger, the silver needle in her hand gleaming brightly.

“When these silver needles reach your brain, even the best doctor won’t be able to save you,” she added.

Olivia still wore that same smile, her eyes filled with gloom, like a venomous snake or scorpion, sending chills down one’s spine and making escape impossible.

The man finally realized who he had offended and shouted, “I’ll talk,” just before Olivia was about to prick his finger with the needle.

“Y–you should have spoken up earlier.” Howard swallowed hard, suppressing his shock.

*Your employer is Margaret Sherman? Olivia wiped her hands and tossed the items to Andrew,

Andrew caught them and dutifully put them away.

“Yes, it’s Mrs. Sherman,” the man answered Olivia through the intense pain,

“The details of the assignment?” Olivia said.

“She wanted us to beat you up and then dump you in the wilderness, where someone could sell you off,” the man shivered uncontrobly, “Basically, she didn’t want you to show up in Hirica again

“Is that all?” Olivia raised an eyebrow,

Just to drive me out of Hirica? Margaret wouldn’t be that kind–hearted, she thought to herself.

“Also, she wanted us to sever the tendons in your hands, so you could never, ever hold a scalpel to save people again,” he added.

Just as I thought. Typical Margaret, Olivia thought.

Andrew, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes, surrounded by an aura of coldness.

The entire atmosphere was filled with an indescribable sense of danger, inspiring fear.

“Margaret-“Andrew repeated the name.

“What? You know her?” Olivia nced at him.

Andrew let out a softugh, the light in his eyes dimming slightly. “My future enemy.”

“Oh my-” Howard eximed, goosebumps covering the ground.

“This guy is really good at ttering, Howard thought to himself.

“Your hair is messy.” Andrew noticed her hair and reached out to tidy it. “Do you need me to step in?”

“No, I’ve got my own ns,” Olivia rejected without a second thought.

She was waiting for William’s birthday party to give him a big surprise.

Howard looked at the two of them, somewhat bewildered.

He thought, ‘Weren’t they just fighting? What kind of atmosphere is this now? It seems like I’m intruding on them.”

“What about this guy?” Howard asked.

“Stalking a woman in the middle of the night? Of course, we’ll hand him over to the authorities,” Olivia cracked her neck. “I’ll leave the cleanup to you.”

Then, she took Andrew’s hand and walked back, leaving Howard standing there, stunned.

“No, you’re leaving me to deal with all these people?” Howard said. By the time he looked up again, the two of them had already walked away.

“Did youe here just to treat me?” Olivia asked.

“Of course.” Andrew carried the medicine box in one hand, his gaze on her. “I shouldn’t havee sote, but work got in the way.”

“Okay,” Olivia said nonchntly. “Why didn’t Jennye?”

Andrew felt a flicker of displeasure, his eyes showing a hint of arrogance.

‘I waited for her in the cold for half a day, and all she asks about is Jenny, not caring about me at all?‘ he thought to himself.

“I didn’t ask her toe,” Andrew’s tone was casual.

Olivia nodded slightly, which was taken as a response.

“Aren’t you going to ask anything else?” Andrew said.

Clearly, Olivia didn’t want to talk, walking forward in her ck boots, taking a few steps before suddenly turning her head and staring at Andrew.

“Hurry up. You’ve been freezing in the icy cold for half a day. If you stay any longer, you’ll catch a cold,” said

Olivia.

Olivia herself didn’t realize that her words came out gently.
