Chapter 911: Catch Her!
Crestfall University Library Archives.
Summer Monroe had been reading the archives for over an hour, and her eyes were a bit sore.
She stood up to stretch her muscles, getting ready to go out and buy some bread to fill her stomach.
However, just as Summer Monroe stepped out of the library entrance, she heard someone asking a student walking in front of her, "Excuse me, is Summer Monroe in the library?"
Summer Monroe immediately looked up and saw two burly men with smiles on their faces asking the student in front of her.
Summer Monroe squinted slightly, scrutinizing the two men.
Even though they were in plain clothes, it was clear they emanated an aura different from ordinary people—
A killing intent.
She immediately turned to walk back into the library, but the next second, the student pointed at her and said, "Are you looking for Summer Monroe? She’s right here."
Summer Monroe paused in her steps, realizing she couldn’t hide. She turned back decisively, meeting their gaze, and coldly questioned, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Their expressions showed a moment of surprise when they saw Summer Monroe’s face, but they quickly smiled again, saying: "Summer Monroe, we are friends of Young Master Knight. Previously, he helped us with something, and we wanted to thank him by inviting him to a meal. But he said he’s currently in Rivain and told us to find you. Do you have time to join us for a meal?"
"Sorry, I’m not available. You should wait for Damian Knight to return on his own." She said as she stepped around them to leave.
However, just as she was brushing past them, one of the men forcefully grabbed her wrist.
"Summer Monroe, no need to be shy. If you don’t want to eat, we can invite you for a cup of coffee to express our gratitude."
"Yes," the other man also seized her other hand, smiling, "Please, Miss Monroe, don’t be shy."
Summer Monroe didn’t want to make a scene at the library entrance, as even on weekends, the library had plenty of people around.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, then suddenly curled her lips into a smile, saying: "Alright, then let’s go to the café across the school. But... could you please let go of me? You’re holding me too tightly, and it’s hurting."
The two men hadn’t expected Summer Monroe to be so easily deceived; they immediately released their grip.
They also didn’t want to make a scene inside the school, where there were many eyes and it would be easy to get caught.
"Miss Monroe, please."
One of the men gestured courteously, and Summer Monroe headed toward the school gate with large strides.
Soon, they reached the school gate.
At this moment, there was no one at the gate, only the occasional car passing by on the road ahead.
Summer Monroe distinctly felt the change in the two men’s demeanor, and decided there was no need for further pretense.
Making a move here would be just right; she could fully unleash her abilities.
Summer Monroe halted her steps, looked at the two with a frosty gaze, and said: "Speak. Who sent you?"
The two men’s smiles stiffened, then their expressions gradually turned cold.
"Looks like you’re not completely a fool. Since you figured it out, let’s cut the crap. Obediently come with us, and save yourself some trouble."
Summer Monroe looked as if she had heard something amusing; she curled her lips and said: "Just the two of you? Should you come together or one at a time?"
"How outrageous!" one of them immediately reacted angrily, throwing a punch at her.
Summer Monroe deftly sidestepped the attack, simultaneously grabbing the man’s arm, using her foot to trip him. The man, caught off guard, fell flat on the ground, eating dirt.
"Grab her!" the man shouted angrily.
