Chapter 2073: Famous in a Day

However, no one could land a hit on Ye Ning.

Tom watched as Ye Ning darted around the crowd, like a deer weaving effortlessly. No one managed to touch her. Moments later, someone swung at her head, but she raised a hand and caught the baseball bat effortlessly.

Then, without a second thought, she grabbed hold of his bat and swung it down hard…

Tom winced in sympathy, and then Ye Ning grabbed Tom and took off running…

Tom stumbled along behind her, glancing back to see that guy doubled over on the ground, clutching himself.

The two of them ran out, not knowing how long it had been before Tom bent over, panting heavily, hands on his knees.

“Phew, luckily we got away…”

Ye Ning looked at him, “You mean luckily I chased them off, right?”

“…”

Ye Ning got up to leave, and Tom quickly said, “Hey, you’re pretty tough, huh? What do you do? Are you in this business too? Who are you with?”

He kept asking as they headed to his store, but as soon as they approached, they saw it was already surrounded by people.

Tom pulled Ye Ning over and hid behind, listening to what was going on.

They overheard people saying that someone had offended the Royals, and now the Royals were offering a ten thousand USD bounty for the person’s head, rumored to be the owner of this minimarket. So they were here to take him down.

Tom was bewildered, listening from the back.

He glanced incredulously at Ye Ning beside him, “Well, what do we do now?”

Ye Ning said, “Uh… How would I know? Why not call your Protector? They collected a protection fee, they should protect you, right?”

“You…”

Ye Ning continued walking forward, Tom looked back, unable to part with his store, but eventually followed Ye Ning.

Following her seemed safer, he thought, and quickly stepped forward, saying, “Hey, don’t go, let me tell you, you’re responsible for this mess, and you can’t escape either. They’ve got a bounty out there including you and me. If I get caught, I’ll spill everything about you too.”

Ye Ning didn’t care whether he followed or not, she just kept heading towards the hotel.

Tom trailed behind, finally arriving at the hotel entrance, marveling at its grandeur.

He knew this was an expensive place, costing over four hundred USD a night.

Clearly, this woman is not ordinary, he thought.

Feeling relieved, he followed her into the hotel.

Once inside, Tom noticed she wasn’t staying in a standard room but a suite. As soon as he entered, he collapsed onto the couch, saying comfortably, “Wow, I get to stay in a hotel like this, great. So, how much is it per night here, at least five hundred dollars?”

“No idea,” Ye Ning said, heading inside, “I’m going to sleep, make yourself comfortable.”

After a busy night, she was truly exhausted…

Seeing this, Tom went online to check the prices himself, and after gawking at the rates for a while, he laid back on the sofa and drifted off happily.

The next day.

The two became famous here.

That night, a man and a woman fought with the Royals’ men, nearly breaking the second-in-command’s arm, and then they were chased all over the streets.

The news exploded on Twitter and Instagram.
