Chapter 690
York shoved Thomas aside, and a couple of his goons immediately grabbed Thomas's arms, holding him down.
Thomas struggled hard. "Let go of me! Kuer, why are you just standing there?"
Thomas wanted those two guys to help. Even though they were outnumbered, they might stand a chance if they fought together.
Kuer walked over, looking pale, and whispered, "Ellenstein, York's uncle just joined the core military camp as a bodyguard for Leonardo. He's got serious pull; you can't fight him. Just give a girl to York and make a friend."
Thomas was furious. "You just said you'd do anything I asked!"
"Ellenstein, we really can't afford to mess with them. You're on your own."
The two well-fed guys slunk away.
York laughed loudly. "There's a new policy here. I'm not forcing you. A thousand bucks for one night, how about that?"
Haley stood up, her gaze cold. "You know there's a new policy. Forcing me is illegal. Aren't you afraid Leonardo will come after you?"
"As long as I pay, it's legal." York grabbed Haley's hand. "If you stay with me, you'll live comfortably. You can do whatever you want in Hinterlands. Why refuse me?"
His hand moved up Haley's wrist.
Haley's face turned icy, and she grabbed York's shoulder, shoving him away hard.
York, nearly a hundred pounds, hit the ground just like that.
Haley knew she shouldn't act on impulse or start trouble in a strange place, but she couldn't stand being disrespected.
"Fuck, you bitch! How dare you hit me! Guys, get her!"
Five burly men surrounded Haley.
Haley's eyes went cold. She kicked a chair, knocking two of the men to the ground.
Only then did the others realize Haley wasn't someone to mess with. They formed a line and slowly advanced on her.
York got up from the ground, smashed a bottle, and lunged at Haley.
York was a thug, used to committing crimes. Recently, with his uncle joining the core military, he felt untouchable. He controlled this street, forcing many women and paying them off to keep quiet. The new policy couldn't touch him.
This was the first time he had met his match.
With a vicious look in his eyes, York aimed the bottle at Haley's neck.
Haley squinted, dodging to the side. The bottle still tore her sleeve, but luckily, she wore long sleeves and wasn't hurt.
Before she could strike back, York lunged at her, grabbing her ankle and pulling her down hard.
Haley lost her balance and hit the ground.
Several of York's goons, who had been waiting nearby, rushed in and pinned Haley down.
"Your skills are decent, but with those skinny arms and legs, you think you can take me on?" York tossed the bottle aside and grabbed Haley's chin. "Originally, you just had to keep me company tonight. But now, you gotta entertain my boys too!"
His crew cheered instantly.
If they could spend a night with such a beautiful woman, they'd feel like they were in heaven.
