Chapter 17: With A Case
Seeing the older man fall made Rain’s face quickly redden with anger. With gritted teeth, she twisted herself out of Paul’s grip before delivering a swift and powerful knee into his groin. And for good measure, she made sure to give him a solid kick, leaving him in considerable pain on the ground.
With a furious smirk, she watched as Paul gasped and doubled over, finally making him let go of his hold on her.
Now free, Rain rushed to the older man’s side, helping him up. "Are you okay, sir?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. He looked like someone the same age as her father.
"I’m fine," he nodded with a wince before letting off a cheeky grin. "That was quite the move."
Rain blinked at his seemingly amused expression. At the same time, another older man approached and assisted the man she just helped.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Meanwhile, Paul, still reeling from the pain, looked up at them with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "You’ll regret this, Rain," he managed to say through gritted teeth. "I’ll make you pay for this!"
"Why would she regret throwing out trash like you? Leave her alone already, or I’ll call the police and press charges for harassment and assault!" the older man spewed out while looking at Paul with disgust.
Rain was speechless at what was happening, but she couldn’t help but smile. She found the older man admirable somehow. Predictably, Paul, still clutching his groin and cursing, staggered away with his shattered pride.
