The leading thug held scissors and advanced towards Yuki and Mizuo.

"If you lay a hand on us, you will have a miserable end." (Yuki)

Yuki still had her arms open protecting Mizuo, and Mizuo, who was hiding behind Yuki, also did not waste the trust Yuki had in her.

Mizuo hid in Yuki's shadow and quietly took out her phone, wanting to call the police.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to press the dial button, she was spotted by a sharp-eyed thug.

"Hey! Put down your phone!" (Thug B)

One of the thugs who had flanked from the alley suddenly rushed towards Yuki and Mizuo, forcibly pushing Yuki aside and snatching the phone from Mizuo.

"To think you were planning to call the police sneakily...!" (Thug B)

As this thug spoke, he snapped Mizuo's phone in half and threw it on the ground.

"Well done, but we need to act fast, it won't be good if more people show up." (Thug A)

The leading thug grabbed Yuki's arm and pulled her away from Mizuo.

"Both of you, one person come help me restrain her, the other control this one trying to call for help." (Thug A)

Following the orders of the lead thug, the other two thugs, one grabbed Mizuo and the other grabbed Yuki.

"Since you're so brave, I'll start with you." (Thug A)

The leading thug grabbed Yuki's hair with one hand, forcefully pulling her head towards him, while the other hand held the scissors and moved towards Yuki's face...

Just as the scissors were about to cut Yuki's cheek, enduring the pain of her hair being pulled, Yuki forcibly turned her head, dodging the scissors.

The thug's scissors missed, and with a snort, he swiftly cut a large gash in Yuki's hair.

"Keep dodging? If you do, I'll shave your head first." (Thug A)

As the leading thug spoke, he threw Yuki's hair on the ground, stepping on it and grinding it back and forth.

"I just think your face is so cute, I want to add a few touches for you." (Thug A)

"This time, don't dodge, or I might accidentally poke your eye or mouth, that wouldn't be good." (Thug A)

The thug leader once again extended the scissors towards Yuki's cheek.

Mizuo struggled to scream loudly to attract attention, but her chin was firmly pressed down by the thug, unable to open her mouth to make a sound.

Yuki trembled all over but could not break free from the thug's restraint, the physical gap was too great for her to resist.

In the end, the scissors still landed on Yuki's cheek.

"Well, let's make a cut here." (Thug A)

The leading thug positioned the scissors on Yuki's cheek, ready to make a cut.

But before he could cut, a person suddenly fell from the alley wall and kicked him down to the ground with one blow.

Upon landing, the figure immediately rushed towards the remaining two standing thugs.

First was a merciless straight punch that hit one thug's face directly, the sound of a nose bone breaking clearly and loudly, then he dodged to the side of the other thug, snatched the thug's swinging fist, and followed up with an uppercut that hit the thug's chin, causing the thug's whole body to almost float in the air.

Before the thug hit the ground, he grabbed the thug’s shirt collar with one hand and the thug’s arm with the other, then swiftly twisted and turned, throwing the thug over his shoulder.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Chongzong held Yuki and Mizuo tightly together, his body trembling uncontrollably with regret.
