Carlisle immediately dodged to the side. He looked for the right time and smashed the brick in his hand
onto the man’s arm.
The man began to scream in pain as he dropped the blade. Then, he gave Carlisle a punch to the face.
Carlisle was immediately fired up as he threw the brick to the si
started a fistfight with the man,
Despite his slender body, he went head to head against the fat man.

At that moment, a white BMW stopped by the roadside and honked at them.
“Carlisle? Why is he here?” The short–haired girl in the passenger seat looked confused.
Then, her hands clenched into fists. She turned to the man in the driver’s seat, Zachary Thompson, and said emotionally, “Could you please go down and help him?”
Zachary glanced at his sister before taking an umbrella and heading toward the black car.
“You should have minded your own business. I’ll choke you to death!”
The fat man had already gained the upper hand and was standing over Carlisle with his hands wrapped
around his throat.
Carlisle couldn’t breathe and could feel himself start to fade. He had overestimated his strength.
Although he had been working out for the past month, he was only an 18–year–old boy!
“Hey, why are you killing someone out in the open here?”
The fat man turned around to see a young man in a sleek suit. He seemed to be in his late twenties and
stood tall at about six feet.
“Are you trying to meddle in my business too?” The fat man shouted ferociously.
Zachary glanced at the black car and saw a young student in tears through the car window.
He immediately guessed that the man before him was a human trafficker. The young boy probably caught
him in the act and tried to stop him.
That was why the fat man had screamed at him for meddling too.
So, Zachary tightened his grip around his umbrella and walked toward the man. Then, he raised his leg
and kicked the man in the throat.
The man immediately fainted from the kick.
Zachary pursed his lips and said, “How can he faint from just one kick?”

Then, he held his umbrella and walked toward Carlisle. He stretched out his hand to help him up. “Are you alright?”
I’m fine, Carlisle said as he coughed. Then, he got up and headed toward the black car to unlock the
door.
Christine immediately got out of the car and wrapped her arms around Carlisle. She began to cry.
“Carlisle, thank you so much.”
Carlisle tensed as he patted Christine’s back. “It’s alright. You’re safe now!”
Luckily, someone came and intervened. Otherwise, he would have died here.
“Hey, thanks for your help…” Carlisle turned to thank Zachary only to realize that the BMW had driven
away.
In the car, Wanda’s gaze hardened as the memory of Christine hugging Carlisle flashed across her mind.
Zachary kept one hand on the wheel as he used his other hand to light up a cigarette.
He glanced at his sister from the corner of his eyes. He asked in confusion, “Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?”
Wanda pursed her lips and shook her head. “I’m not!”
Zachary took a puff of his cigarette and flicked the cigarette bud out of the window. Then, he said, “Don’t get distracted and focus on your exams. Try and get into an Ivy League!”
Rainville Beta High School was built five years ago.
Then, it became the designated examination hall for all students in Rainville. Every student slowly made
their way into their designated exam hall.
Carlisle had bought a set of clean clothes in the supermarket next door. Then, he entered the exam hall with Christine just before the bell rang.
Lucy stood outside of Carlisle’s exam hall for a long time. She immediately sighed in relief when she saw
Carlisle had arrived.
“Ms. Turner, are you the invigilator for the exam?” Carlisle’s face was bruised and swollen. One might not recognize him if they saw him from afar.
