Chapter 132: I’m The Boss
Rain quickly dodged the attempted stab from one of her attackers, swiftly delivering a hard kick to his groin. She grabbed the boy’s hand and pulled him away from the fight, her voice calm but firm as she said, "Can you call the police and stay right here? I’ll be back soon."
The boy, still trembling, nodded and started dialling the help desk number on his mobile phone. Rain gave him a reassuring smile before turning back to help Henry, her focus sharp as she assessed the situation. Henry was fending off one attacker, but another was closing in on him from behind. Without hesitation, Rain rushed forward to help him.
"Are you crazy? Just take the boy and go!" Henry scolded as he continued to fend off attackers.
"Sorry, but I’m not leaving you behind," Rain replied firmly. She had already assessed the situation and was confident staying wouldn’t be a dangerous choice. She and Henry could handle the remaining attackers. "I’m not letting you deal with this alone."
Despite Henry’s protests, Rain jumped into the fight, helping to push back the attackers. As the fight continued, two men suddenly arrived to assist them. Rain’s eyes widened when she recognized Rico, realizing the other man was also one of Alexander’s assigned bodyguards.
"Sorry, I’m late. I lost track of you for a moment, Mrs. Lancaster," Rico explained. Rain still felt odd having someone guard her, but she couldn’t deny that it was helpful in moments like this. At least she wouldn’t be completely worn out.
"Oh shit," Rain cursed inwardly, realizing that Alexander would soon find out about her involvement in another dangerous situation. She’d promised him she wouldn’t put herself in harm’s way again, but trouble seemed to find her regardless.
As police sirens wailed in the distance, Rain shot Rico a look, silently instructing him to pull out. He complied quickly, retreating as soon as the attackers were subdued. When the police arrived, Henry took charge of the scene, rounding up the suspects.
"I’ll handle things here. Take the boy and accompany him," Henry instructed. "Don’t leave him, no matter what. I’ll contact his parents."
