The thugs exchanged confused glances. Lana's voice remained calm.
"I won't repeat myself. Come out."
The thugs immediately misunderstood. A few of them stepped forward. "Oh?"
One of them laughed. "The beauty is calling for us. How could we possibly refuse?"
However, before they could get any closer... Whoosh!
Several figures suddenly appeared from the shadows.
Like ghosts materializing from thin air, multiple bodyguards emerged and instantly charged toward the thugs.
Cries of pain echoed throughout the alley. Within less than a minute, every thug had been neutralized.
The alley fell silent once more. Lana blinked.
"So they were bodyguards."
She had originally suspected some sort of surveillance team.
She simply hadn't expected them to be protecting her. After the bodyguards finished dealing with the thugs, Lana looked toward them.
"Who are you?"
No response came. "Who sent you?"
The bodyguards exchanged brief glances.
