Chapter 57 I Can Do Anything for You
James's sudden move not only shocked Jennifer but also John and the other man. They never expected James, who had always appeared timid and fearful, to strike back at this moment.
So, they all stood there in a daze for about two seconds before reacting.
"Damn!" Another man immediately cursed loudly, "If you choose to be killed! I'll do the favor for you!"
With a fierce look on his face and his tall stature, he walked over wielding a knife, creating a strong, intimidating presence. Anyone who had common sense could tell that James was definitely not a match. Jennifer was scared stiff, closing her eyes.
But the next moment, she heard a scream, not from James, but from the man who had just fallen to the ground with a thud.
She opened her eyes to find James standing before her, while the previously fierce man was lying on the ground, a footprint on his T-shirt, a testament to James's swift kick.
This bizarre scene left Jennifer momentarily stunned. Just a moment ago, James was trembling in fear. How did he suddenly become someone who dared to fight back?
She couldn't help but recall what James had said earlier, that he was actually quite capable.
After knocking down the two men in succession, James leisurely got out of the van and looked at John, revealing a terrifying smile. "Do you know why I didn't beat you earlier and waited until now? Because in the parking lot, it would have led to cops, and you would have gotten away without being beaten," James remarked.
John looked at James's smile, his rows of white teeth appearing particularly sinister, and a shiver involuntarily ran down his spine, filling him with a sense of fear.
However, having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, the alcohol was now taking effect, and it quickly suppressed his fear.
He sneered, "Stop bragging! You're a worthless piece of shit, even at the brink of death, still trying to act tough? You don't know the meaning of death! Let me show you the vast difference between us! Let me tell you, I'm not just an excellent doctor but also a skilled martial artist!"
After saying this, he tightly gripped his knife and charged towards James, agile in his movements. He delivered a heavy kick to James's face, appearing quite elegant and beautiful, eliciting gasps from many women. But in James's eyes, it was full of flaws.
James easily dodged the attack, then casually extended his foot, kicking John's left leg knee. John immediately screamed in pain, losing his balance and falling to the ground with a thud.
"With your skills, you still dare to call yourself a master?" James said as he looked disdainfully at John.
John, unwilling to accept defeat, gripped the knife in his hand and forcefully stabbed towards James's ankle. "Go die, bastard!" he yelled.
But how could he possibly hit James? James calmly lifted his leg, evading the attack. He then stomped heavily on John's wrist, breaking it with such force that the stones on the ground penetrated his flesh, causing him to scream in agony like a slaughtered animal.
The sound was piercing and pitiful to hear.
But there was no sympathy for him here. Considering his actions, this was already a light punishment.
"Let me go, let me go, it hurts, it hurts so much!" He pounded the ground in agony, his facial expression contorted in pain.
Inside the van, Jennifer was already stunned. She had imagined over a hundred possible scenarios, ninety of which involved her worst nightmare of being abused by John and the two men.
The other ten possibilities included being rescued by someone, encountering patrolling police officers, local residents, Curtis arriving in time, or even a martial arts master from a martial arts film coming to her aid.
However, she had never imagined that James would step forward and effortlessly deal with John and the others in a dominating manner.
As she watched James's back, she suddenly realized that she didn't even know James at all.
And just moments ago, she had been blaming James, feeling guilty about it now.
The other two men saw that John was easily taken down, and realized they were facing the same fate. Fortunately, James's kick hadn't incapacitated them, so they quickly got up and ran away.
But James wasn't going to give them a chance to escape. Without taking a break, he let go of John and chased after them.
He swiftly caught up to them in no time. As he ran, he managed to free himself from the rope, then grabbed their hair from behind and forcefully struck their heads, causing them to scream in pain and collapse unconscious.
However, at that moment, he heard Jennifer's scream from behind and realized the situation was dire.
He quickly turned around and saw John dragging Jennifer out of the van, a sharp knife once again pressed against her neck, his expression fierce as he looked at James.
John taunted, "James, you think you can fight, huh? You think you're tough! Show me what you've got now!"
His voice was filled with madness, his expression even more terrifying than before. The knife pressed against Jennifer's neck trembled violently, leaving a faint blood mark on her fair skin.
Jennifer's face turned pale with fear, her legs trembling, struggling to stand steady.
She widened her eyes, staring at James intently, but clenched her lips, unable to speak.
James's face darkened. He had underestimated John's madness. Being severely injured and still able to stand up again, threatening Jennifer.
"What do you want?" James asked as he let go of the two men in his hands and walked slowly towards them.
"I'm not going anywhere today!" John roared. He then proceeded to state his demands, "I'll count to three. And you need to stab yourself; If you don't do as I say, I'll kill this bitch!"
James clenched and then relaxed his fist. He squatted down, picked up the knife from the ground, and stared at John. " I will stab myself. You let her go first!" he replied.
"Aha, now you want to negotiate? Hahaha," John sneered as he revealed a twisted smile. " I have no patience for negotiation. This knife must be used on either you or Jennifer. If you don't stab yourself, I'll stab her! Haha, you claim to love your wife so much. Now I'm giving you a chance to prove it. Why are you hesitating? It seems like you..."
Before John could finish his sentence, James took action. He grabbed the knife handle in reverse and forcefully stabbed it into his own thigh without blinking an eye, looking at Jennifer with a bitter smile.
James stated to her, "Jennifer, you said I've never done anything for you. You're wrong. In fact, for you, I can do anything."
Jennifer was stunned, and the next moment, her eyes were blurred with tears...
