’What the hell?" Joanna dismissed it quickly and hung up.
However, Clara called her soon after, hurriedly saying, "Joan, where are you? Co to The Blue Inn, quick! If you don’t, your little escort is going to lose his purity card!"
"Lose his purity card?" Joanna was confused.
"Yeah! One of the employees in the pub called and asked for help, saying that your favorite escort’s popularity has gotten him into trouble! So lady boss took a liking to him and offered 150 thousand dollars to spend the night with him, but he told her that he was saving himself for you!"
"What on Earth... Saving himself for ?" Joanna was in sheer disbelief. She had only made out with that handso man briefly, and she hadn’t even been completely sober at the ti. She thought, ’We didn’t even do anything, but he’s saying he’s saving himself for ? Are you sure this isn’t a prank?!’
"Ah, they’ve gotten into a fight! There might be a lot of escorts here, but none of them have the strength to defend themselves! The lady boss even ordered a bunch of her underlings to destroy the place! Even if you’re not doing it for Isaac, at least do it for the pub!’ Clara seed agitated as she tried to persuade her friend.
She had been struggling to find a way to bring the two together, but now that there was a chance for Joanna to be the heroine and save her knight in distress!
Clara mused, ’This must be what people call fate!’
Although the escort was just part of the pub’s staff, and couldn’t be considered a suitable partner for Joanna, Clara figured that her best friend needed so good entertainnt now that Ace was gone.
’Joan has currently locked herself away, which is why she needs soone like that escort to take her on a ’wild’ adventure, so that she can finally move on from her past!’
Unfortunately, Joanna didn’t seem interested, her expression cold. "Call the cops then. What does this have to do with ? I’m busy, so bye!"
’Wait! Of course it involves you! He only offended that lady boss because of you! Can you really bear watching your darling little escort get tortured by that evil lady?!’
’I heard that woman has made quite the na for herself too, as she’s known for her extre fetishes... People call her a beast, especially since she has a history of torturing beautiful n just to satisfy herself! Ah, your little escort seems so fragile too, I can’t even bear to imagine..."
’Besides, it’s not like the cops have control over everything! If you won’t co and save him, your little escort might co and haunt you in your dreams, dragging his bloody body towards you..."
"Hold it!" Joanna was slightly frightened, gulping. "Fine, just stop talking. I’ll go over and check it out right now."
In all honesty, Joanna had mixed feelings towards that escort. On one hand, she figured that a stranger’s life had nothing to do with her. However, she was still able to see Ace’s shadow in him, whenever he had his mask on.
Thinking about how that lady might torture ’Ace’... She couldn’t bring herself to stand by and do nothing in such a scenario.
As she arrived at The Blue Inn, she first noticed how quiet the pub was, in contrast to its usual liveliness.
There were two muscular n standing at the entrance, blocking Joanna’s way. "Our boss has reserved the entire pub tonight, so go back the way you ca from!"
’Get lost!" Joanna decided that it was better to talk with her fists, then kicking the two n right in the gut, sending them flying backwards.
After that, she continued walking into the pub with a frosty elegance, successfully reaching the hall with ease.
She then saw the escort, Isaac, wearing his signature feather mask, being cornered by a big, fierce- looking, blonde woman.
’Hey handso. Oh, just look at your innocent face, I like that. Co have so fun with , why don’t you? I promise I’ll treat you well..." The woman said as she held out her chubby hand.
"Don’t touch !" Isaac was forced into a corner, with no other way out. Despite his pitiful situation, he still radiated a natural majesty, and his tone was hostile.
’I’ve told you that my heart belongs to soone else! I want to be her one and only! So please, keep your hands to yourself!
The lady boss was incredibly angry after hearing that. "So that’s how you’re going to play it, huh? Fine then, I’ll be the bad guy! Hold him down!"
After that, two n in black grabbed hold of Isaac’s arms, securing him in place. The boss lady then brought out the whip she carried around at all tis, then slashed it towards Isaac’s chest.
In an instant, the man’s white dress shirt was torn open, with streams of blood flowing down his skin. His gorgeous looks, along with his cold elegance, made it a hauntingly beautiful sight.
"I’m asking you once again! Are you coming with or not?!"
"I won’t go with anyone but her!" With that, the escort earned himself yet another few slashes.
The pub’s owner and employees were watching fearfully from the side, not daring to lend a hand at all. The place was filled with the lady boss’s underlings, so it would cost their lives to even speak up against this ordeal.
When the wicked lady lifted her arm again, she noticed that she was unable to move her whip. She turned around, and was greeted by Joanna’s cold, terrifying glare.
"How dare you harm my escort?!" Joanna growled, and forcefully yanked on the other end of the whip, hurling the 400-pound-woman a mile away.
Everyone gasped loudly, not expecting Joanna to be that strong.
"Let go of him!" Joanna ordered the two n who were still holding Isaac down.
The n refused to cooperate, but as they were about to threaten her, Joanna kicked them both in their faces. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the thugs were nothing compared to the woman’s agility and skills. Beneath the feather mask, Isaac’s eyes shimred like the stars in the night sky. "I knew you’d co to save ."
For so reason, Joanna felt this man’s deanor shift entirely when he had the mask on. His majestic and frosty aura just seed so similar to ’ that person’...
Moreover, she even felt her heart skip a beat when she t his gaze. She thought to herself, ’Damn, this mask has better effects than plastic surgery!
I just wish he could sew that thing to his face for eternity!’
She glanced at the man’s torso, and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. She reached out to him and said, "Stay behind . No one can hurt you if I’m protecting you!"
The man instantly limped over and hid behind Joanna like an obedient little rabbit. His voice sounded pitiful as he spoke, "I’m trusting you with my life then! You have to take responsibility for !"
’Responsibility?’ Joanna found his statent quite odd. ’Is he trying to scam ?!’ Despite this, she knew that Isaac would be tortured to death if he ended up in that woman’s hands.
The lady boss got up from the ground with her underlings’ help, glaring at Joanna angrily despite her injuries. She looked as if she wanted to skin the woman alive.
’Looks like this is going to be one nasty fight...’ Joanna thought to herself, but didn’t back down in the slightest. She balled her fists, getting ready to strike. She figured that she could use the practice.
The woman approached Joanna, pointing at her and scowling. "Hmph, you better have what it takes to protect this escort forever! Otherwise, I’ll be sure to find a way to get him, if it’s the last thing I do!"
With that, she just... left
