Chapter 44: Targeted by
Thugs
Sylvia watched the chaotic scene unfolding behind her, her face darkening.
Her older brother no longer cared for her, and she couldn’t fathom what kind of magic Hope had used to steal him away.
But it didn’t matter. She still had five other brothers, not to mention her parents.
If one useless brother was gone, it was no great loss.
However, if Hope dared to steal her brother from her, she would never forgive her.
Sylvia logged into her secondary account and found a contact named Brother Tiger,

Upon seeing the photo, Brother Tiger immediately felt a surge of lust.
She was a beauty. No wonder she was causing trouble. The brothers had all come out of prison with nothing–no work and no women–because of their criminal records.
Now, here was a rare beauty to toy with, and they were being paid. Any fool would turn it down.
[Brother Tiger]: Where is she? I’ll take the job.
[Daisy]: Near the police station. It’s hard to get a cab around there. If you head over now, she shouldn’t have left yet.
[Daisy]: I’ve already transferred the money to your account. If you handle this well, there’s a bonus.

[Brother Tiger]: Don’t worry. Ain’t no thing.
Sylvia, seeing that the deal was set, immediately deleted the chat history. She didn’t switch back to her main account just yet–she had to be the first to hear when Hope’s reputation was ruined!
Meanwhile, Brother Tiger had been arrested last night for stealing an electric bike. He was released today and happened to be eating noodles near the police station when he spotted his target.
He hopped onto a shared electric bike and saw a slender, beautiful woman walking alone.
As he got closer and saw her face, he gulped. She looked even better in person than in the photo!

He pedaled after her, calling up a few of his brothers to encircle her from the other side.
Hope had sensed she was being followed for a while. Using the reflection from a storefront window, she took note of the man trailing her.
He had a rat–like face, with an ugly scar running down his cheek like a centipede. He was definitely no good.
Hope walked calmly, originally planning to take a cab home, but she received a message from Mrs. Knapp, inviting her to come over and see a friend.
Hope agreed, deciding to grab a bite while she waited nearby.
She hadn’t expected more trouble so soon!

“If you hadn’t suddenly slowed down, would I have hit the wall?”
“Stop making excuses. You’ve been following me all along. Don’t tell me you’re just here to beg for money by playing the victim?”
Brother Tiger was taken aback, realizing he had been spotted. He gave Hope a second glance.
She was sharp, but it didn’t matter how smart she was. She was still just a fragile girl, one with a disability, easy enough to handle.
“You know, you’re not bad looking. If you entertain me for a bit, I won’t press charges for the accident.”
His gaze roamed over her body, his eyes

One of the thugs, a fat man, could no longer resist. He lunged at Hope.
Just as his greasy hand reached for her, Hope took two quick steps back and coldly said, “Don’t touch me. I’ll walk on my own.”
“Oh, looks like you’re smart.”
“This time, we’re hitting the jackpot! After this, let’s go buy lottery tickets!”
“Ha! I can’t wait, let’s hurry!”
The fat man pushed forward, and Hope walked calmly behind him. Brother Tiger followed at a slow pace, keeping an eye out for any escape attempts.
The warehouse wasn’t far–it only took a few minutes to reach it.

“Shit, this bixxch’s got drugs on her!”
One of the thugs shouted, covering his mouth and trying to flee from the drug’s
range.
But it was too late–Hope quickly stabbed him with a silver needle, sending him convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
The others were already collapsing, having inhaled the drug powder, their bodies slumping to the ground.
With the thugs out cold, Hope pulled out her phone to call the police but hesitated. Letting them off this easily would be too kind.

She rummaged through Brother Tiger’s pockets, finding not only his phone but also a bottle of forbidden spray. It had no label, but a picture of an erotic scene on the bottle made its purpose clear.
She sprayed each of the thugs, ensuring they were completely covered, then hid behind a window ledge outside the warehouse.
Ten minutes later, the thugs slowly came to their senses. Without their minds, they began stripping each other in a dazed stupor, eventually piling on top of each other in a twisted heap.
Holding back her disgust, Hope snapped pictures with Brother Tiger’s phone and checked his Twitteraccount for recent contacts.

Sure enough, one of the names was Daisy- Sylvia’s alias.
If she wanted to harm her, then she’d better be ready for retaliation!
Hope sent the photos to Sylvia, then transferred the 100,000 from Brother Tiger’s account back to Sylvia and typed a message.
[Brother Tiger]: The job’s done. With these photos, they’ll work for you for free from now on. You’ll save a lot of money.
She wiped her fingerprints off the phone, left it in the warehouse, and slipped away quietly.
