The Law of Attraction
Chapter 85: In One Blow

Lana and Steven followed behind Daryl into the network of small alleys to get the statement from the witness. The entire area was heavily crowded with houses on both sides of the roads with no gaps in between them. This was a perfect place for criminals to live and escape easily.

Indeed, there were a lot of people with a rowdy look along the way, and some even gave Lana malicious grins and winks. Though they were mentally prepared for a little bit of harassment, Daryl had already started regretting listening to Lana's pleas and getting trapped by her puppy eyes.

They finally reached the witness' home after turning into a lot of alleys guided by Daryl's contact, but he was not inside his house. Like what Daryl said, it was hard to coordinate with that possible witness of the case. They've been misdirected and had been led into various alleys. Everywhere his acquaintances denied his presence or told them that he was at another place.

Finally, with the help of another person who knew the witness, they reached where he was at that moment. Lana rubbed her nose because of the stinking smell of alcohol and cigarettes along the way. That possible witness was said to be a drug user, but Daryl needed to gamble and still get his statement.

They entered a small studio house and saw a young man, Daryl's intel pointed out as Jong, gambling with cards with the other men.

"Jong." Daryl called and the young man looked at them. His face paled, and he suddenly ran at the other door and pushed them to run outside.

"Fu*ck!" Daryl grunted and said to Steven, "Go at the other side. I'll chase him. Lana stay here."

Lana saw Daryl chasing the young man Jong while Steven ran on the other side. She squinted her eyes and moved towards the left side of the alley.

She had a sharp memory and she could recall every turning point very well. Her mind processed Jong's possible route and ran there. That young man would surely run towards the main exit of that compound, so she quickly ran there.

"Hey! Stop right there!" Lana shouted, seeing the young man's back who somehow halted, hearing her shouting.

"Why are you running when we are just here to talk to you." Lana mumbled, crouching while she was panting. Sweat drops were all over her face.

Soon Daryl also arrived along with Steven. Both of them were also panting while Daryl who was surprised to see Lana there stutteringly muttered, "How come you're here first. I told you to stay put."

Lana ignored him and signalled the young man Jong to come to her.

"Come here young man, I'll treat you to a good meal," Lana convinced the young man. She even smiled at him and he slowly started walking towards Lana.

"What do you want from me?" the young man Jong asked.

"How about we go to a nice and safe place first to eat? Do you know a good place nearby for a good meal?" Lane commented, smiling widely at the young man who seemed to get mesmerized by her.

"Yeah, I know a place to go. Follow me." the young man Jong offered and was about to walk, but halted when a group of men suddenly appeared and encircled at them.

"Fu*cking Sh*t!" Jong cursed loudly.

"What's going on? Do you know them?" Daryl asked and pulled his mobile to ask for help but the big man roared, "Ahhh if I were you I'll put that mobile phone back inside my pocket if I didn't want my pretty face ruined that instant."

"We mean no harm to any of you, so can we now leave?" Daryl murmured with a smile.

Jong cursed again before trying to run out from the circle, but he was caught by one of those men.

"Where are you going, you rascal!" hissed the man.

"You guys get to your agenda while we shall leave now." Daryl said and held Lana's wrist, hoping those men would let them pass. He signaled Steven to walk, but the men did not budge and stood rooted, blocking their way.

"You see. This place is my territory. I saw new faces here and I want to play. How about let's play first…" The man, who seemed to be the Boss, spoke and was about to touch Lana. But Lana dodged quickly, held the man's arm and twisted it hard and placed it at his back quickly.

"Ahhh!" the man cried in pain.

"Call the police now!" Lana instructed Steven. All men flocked towards them and Daryl fought together with Lana. Lana kept holding the arm of that man and kicked another man coming towards her in his gut and sending him rolling on the ground.

She then kicked the man she held badly on his butt and he fell face down on the ground and passed out due to injuries immediately.

Another man approached Lana, and she then balanced herself on her right heel and gave him a kick on his face by bending a little backwards. She sent him also in a state of delusion with her one powerful kick.

Daryl on the other side was also busy in kicking and punching those rouges badly, and he caught one man and punched him repeatedly on his face, making him bleed from his cheeks and fainting with the impact. Within a few minutes both Lana and Daryl had dealt with most of them efficiently.

Steven just stood on a side and watched Daryl and Lana in the fight with a paled face. Beside him stood the young man called Jong, who was still held by another gangster's men.

"Is she a fighter?" Jong muttered, watching how flawless Lana's movements were while she fought with the rest of the gangsters.

Steven had immediately called the cops, but he thought it was no longer needed seeing how almost all the gangsters were thrown down on the ground mercilessly.

One of the gangsters who held Jong let him go to fight with the rest, seeing how Lana almost killed all his brothers.

Jong took the opportunity to flee, but Steven was quick enough to catch hold of him.

"Where are you going? I think they came here for you and look at how you put us in danger. Might at least give us that darn meal! We will just ask a few questions, dammit!" Steven almost yelled.

"Alright fine! I will go with you! Look how deadly that woman is? She can kill in one blow!" Jong complained.

Daryl heard that and looked at Lana, who took almost everyone on herself while he just dealt with a few of them.

'So degrading!' he mused, wondering if he should consider Liam to be lucky or not for having such a good fighter woman beside him. Surely Liam should behave well if he did not want to end up like one of those gangsters.

Lana who was at the center moved her neck left and right before walking towards Daryl and the rest. She did not notice the leader of the gang behind her standing back up on his feet picking up a small knife in his pocket and was about to attack her from behind.

"Lana!" Daryl shouted as he ran towards Lana, but he knew it would be too late to save her.
