Chapter 38: We
Rhodes wasn't about to let Mira handle danger alone. He gently pressed her arm aside and guided her toward the side of the road.
Mira blinked in surprise at his decisive action but obediently stepped back without protest.
Rhodes stood alone in the middle of the road as the bag snatcher charged straight at him.
With a swift motion, he raised his leg and kicked the man's wrist—the short knife flew into the air.
"Damn—!"
The thief barely had time to curse before Rhodes grabbed his wrist, shifted his weight, and executed a shoulder throw—a move straight from Cana's book.
Boom!
The bag snatcher slammed onto the bluestone pavement with a heavy thud. The stolen handbag flew from his grip, skidding across the ground.
Without even looking, Rhodes extended his right hand calmly, catching the falling knife by its handle.
Flawless execution.
Rhodes was very satisfied with how cool he looked.
