Saving the Villain

Chapter 293 Get Up There And Let’s Go.



"Kyah!!!"

Cosette and Luke instantly stopped, wide-eyed. She turned her head in the shut door's direction.

"Amie," she whispered, and without thinking twice, she sprinted toward the door.

Seeing that Cosette was running in their direction, the goons felt alerted. However, right before they could stop Cosette, Luke came in. Using the bottom of his palm, Luke assaulted the goon's jaw, and then kicked the other one. They couldn't even react quickly as Luke already made his move, knocking on a total of four goons that were guarding the door.

THUD!

"Amie!" Despite that Luke cleared the way Cosette didn't stop as she barged into the door. "A —"

The moment the door was kicked open, all the people inside stopped what they were doing. Cosette's breath hitched, scrutinizing what was happening, only for her heart to drop to her stomach.

There, around the table, were a few guys pinning a girl down. One of them had his belt, button, and zipper undone, showing his black underwear. There were a few of them sitting, doing nothing to help poor Amie. All of them turned their attention to the door where Cosette was standing.

"*hic*" Amie hiccuped as she slowly lifted her head to see who came in.

The moment she saw Cosette, tears immediately blurred her vision. Even though Cosette was wearing thick makeup and clothes Cosette wouldn't normally wear, it wasn't enough for Amie not to recognize her.

"Cozie…" came out a shaking voice, hiccuping in between. "... help me."

Cosette's heart shook as her eyes stung, staring blankly at Amie. At this point, Cosette couldn't help but wonder what could've happened if they didn't follow Amie today. She didn't want to think about the outcome if they just let Amie alone.

"Cozie!" Suddenly, Luke jumped behind Cosette, only to stop when he was by her side. His eyes scanned the room, making his pupils dilate in horror. No words were needed to understand what scene they just walk into.

"And who the hell are these…" the leader trailed off, catching a hand on the floor behind Cosette and Luke. A frown instantly dominated his face, turning on his heel to face those two intruders squarely. His lackeys also let Amie go, facing Cosette and Luke cautiously.

"What do you want?" asked the leader, changing his inquiry into something else. They had multiple enemies outside, so he assumed he would know if he simply asked what these two wanted.

Cosette and Luke didn't answer because her attention was fixed on Amie. The latter slowly mustered her courage to sit up, wiping her unstoppable teras whilst hiccuping. Seeing Amie in such a state, Cosette's heart broke into a million pieces.

"Just why…" whispered Cosette, not caring about the people inside. "... what is wrong with you?"

Amie hiccuped, lifting her eyes at Cosette. Tears continued to stain her face, biting her lower lip. What was wrong with her? That question was something Amie had no clear answer to until now. She didn't know what was wrong with her; although Amie could give bits and pieces of her personal woes.

"I said… what are you two doing here? Barging into that door and beating up my friends!" the leader raised his voice, seeing that the two were ignoring him.

This time, Cosette snapped her eyes at the leader. He was tall and appeared older. However, Cosette had always been surrounded by tall guys like Maxen, Luke, and Remo. Maxen and Luke just kept growing as if they were drinking a magical growth medicine. Remo, on the other hand, was naturally tall with a wide physique. Compare to Remo, this leader would appear smaller. Thus, Cosette didn't feel intimidated.

"I should be the one asking that," said Cosette in a quiet voice, but they still heard her loud and clear. "What are you guys doing to her?"

"Huh?"

Cosette balled her hands into a tight fists as she clenched her teeth. "What do you think you're doing to her?!" this time, her voice pitched in anger.

"Her?" the leader lifted a brow and glanced at Amie. "What? She asked for it."

"What?"

"This girl wants to pay her boyfriend's debt. She agreed to this and even negotiated with us about her rate tonight," explained the leader, thinking he didn't want unnecessary trouble. If these two misunderstood something, then they should clear it up so they wouldn't waste their breath fighting. "No one is being forced here. If anything, we're doing role-playing. Acting out a fantasy."

"A fantasy…" Cosette's heart shook, assessing the leader's nonchalant countenance. By the looks of it, the leader didn't seem lying. In fact, he appeared to be telling the truth. "Amie, is that true?"

Cosette shifted her eyes to Amie, and much to her dismay, Amie looked away in shame. "So, it was true?"

"Why would I lie to you?" the leader tugged his earlobe in slight irritation. "These punks owe me a huge debt, but instead of beating them up, I'm still willing to negotiate. So if you understand the situation, leave."

The leader's expression slowly turned firm. "I'll let you guys off the hook, even though you seemed to have landed a few good numbers on my boys. Well, that's their fault. I can't believe there were four of them, but they couldn't even stop you two from barging in."

There was a brief silence that descended into the room before Luke gazed at Cosette's side profile.

"Cozie," called Luke in a hushed voice. But just as he called her, Cosette marched toward the leader.

The leader's brows rose, watching this young, beautiful woman approach him. However, Cosette momentarily paused in front of him, glaring at him, before she walked past him to the table behind the boss.

​ "Let's go, Amie," Cosette urged firmly. "Get up there and let's go."

Amie's lips quivered, studying Cosette's hard countenance. She knew the latter was angry but was holding it back, clutching her hand close to her chest.

"Mhm," Amie hummed, nodding. However, just before she could move from her spot, the leader spoke.

"And where the hell are you going to take her?"
