With an icy expression, Alana muttered "Death wish," then twisted his wrist. Acrack sounded. Sean howled in pain, his face instantly turning pale. Next, Alana delivered a kick. Sean fell to his knees, The floor was slippery, causing Sean to bang his head against the ground as he faced Thalia. Alana looked down coldly at the foolish man on the floor.
She had just stepped away to use the restroom-how had someone dared to harass her boss in those few minutes? "Should I cripple him or kill him?"

Legally, their behavior constituted harassment and provocation. Her slap was warranted. When the man tried to retaliate, Alana's intervention counted as legitimate self-defense. Even if the police came, Thalia was confident she wouldn't face any consequences. The mall had security cameras everywhere, and the store associate was a witness.
Thalia had no fear of involving the authorities. ---- Sean struggled to his feet, still cursing profusely. His language was particularly vile. A crowd of onlookers had gathered.

After resolving the incident, half an hour had passed. Thalia arrived at the store where Charlotte had been waiting in the VIP lounge, nearly wilting from boredom. Charlotte smiled. "Thalia, you finally made it.

Didn't you get to the mall before me?" "Ran into strouble.
People causing problems." "What happened?" "It's nothing, Everything's been taken care of." Charlotte frowned. "Who was causing trouble?" Thalia shook her head. "I don't know them. From their accent, they seemed to be from Suzhou." Charlotte asked with concern, "You weren't hurt, were you?" "No, with Alana there, they didn't stand a chance." 'That's good."
