77: Still Want to Get Physical?
"See! You're still making excuses!? It was you who made my mom fall! I'm telling you, if you don't have money, hurry up and call your parents to send some over, otherwise don't even think about..."
Seeing the older woman beside her start performing enthusiastically again, the middle-aged man with the angry expression seized the opportunity to pressure the white-haired girl in front of him. But before he could finish speaking, the white-haired girl, who had been looking down in silence, suddenly raised her head and glanced at him. A trace of coldness flashed through her golden eyes, instantly blocking the rest of his words in his throat.
"So annoying... If we weren't in a busy area where it's hard to make a move, I'd definitely let these jumping clowns feel the Lord's radiance..."
The white-haired girl frowned slightly and muttered a couple of complaints in a voice only she could hear.
Meanwhile, Evelia had completely slipped into her role as an innocent little girl. She walked slowly to the side of the older woman who was still acting and very "kindly" reached out to help her up.
"Grandma~ Does your leg hurt a lot? Here, let me help you up~ Do you need me to call the hospital?"
"Oh no, no need, no need. Grandma can't stand up right now... so I won't trouble you, little girl... WAH!!!"
The older woman saw Evelia coming to help her and was worried about being exposed, so she waved her hand to decline Evelia's "kindness." But the moment her arm touched Evelia's palm, her whole body felt as if it were being pricked by needles. This sudden pain caused her body to immediately jump up from the ground in a reflex, stumbling back several steps as she looked at Evelia with eyes full of shock and uncertainty.
"Wow~ Grandma, didn't you say your leg was fractured? How can you still jump around like this?"
"You!"
Seeing her plan succeed, Evelia completely dropped her innocent little girl act and instead questioned the older woman with a sarcastic tone. The older woman's face immediately turned red, though whether from shame at being exposed or from anger was unclear.
"Hah! That's right, Grandma. Didn't you say your leg was broken? And now you're suddenly so full of energy?"
"Miraculous healing, little sister!"
"A medical miracle, simply a medical miracle!"
……
Having their scam exposed on the spot was already embarrassing enough, but the sarcastic comments from the surrounding crowd made the older woman want to find a hole to crawl into. She opened her mouth as if wanting to retort, but with her scam completely exposed, she no longer had her previous arrogance. Plus, as someone running a scam, she really didn't have the moral high ground. In the end, she could only glare angrily at Evelia.
"Neener neener~"
Evelia stuck her tongue out at the older woman in a provocative manner. She looked so punchable! The middle-aged man and the others who were working with him exchanged glances, all seeing embarrassment and awkwardness in each other's eyes.
They had been doing this for so long, and this was the first time they had been played by a little girl.
"You little brat, are you looking for trouble!?"
The middle-aged man's explosive temper clearly wasn't fake. He took two large steps forward and reached out to grab Evelia by the shoulder. Almost simultaneously, both Evelia's and Amya's expressions turned cold. If exposing their scam had just been Evelia's momentary whim for fun, this man trying to get physical with Evelia was basically a provocation to them.
Seriously, not teaching this mustache-sporting uncle a lesson, and he really wouldn't know who's in charge here?
Just as the middle-aged man's hand was about to land on Evelia's shoulder, Amya was ready to make her move! But in the instant before Amya could step forward and dislocate the man's arm, a beautiful white figure flashed out from the side, grabbing the middle-aged man's wrist before anyone could act.
"Hah?"
"Hmm?"
"Eh?"
The middle-aged man, Amya, and Evelia all froze in place at the same time. The middle-aged man hadn't expected anyone to be so fast, capable of firmly grabbing his wrist in an instant. Amya hadn't expected anyone else to step in. And Evelia was surprised by the identity of the person making the move.
Snow-white hair danced freely in the wind. Her delicate, pale hand, as if it would bleed at a poke, firmly gripped the wrist of the man before her, who was nearly twice Evelia's height. Her golden eyes coldly stared at the middle-aged man as if looking at a dead person.
The person who came was none other than the foreign girl who had been scammed and harassed by this middle-aged man earlier. At this moment, she had completely lost her previous calm demeanor. Instead, she looked like an executioner whose hands were stained with countless blood, ready to torture and kill at any moment. With just one cold look, the middle-aged man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His tall body instantly went limp as he shamefully collapsed onto the ground.
"Raising a hand against a child. What a shameless man."
The girl snorted coldly and released her grip on the middle-aged man's wrist as if discarding garbage. Even though he had regained his freedom to move, the middle-aged man still sat there in a daze. His entire body was shaking uncontrollably. Forget about seeking revenge, even standing up normally would probably be difficult.
"Little sister, thank you..."
"Ouch! A foreigner is hitting people! Is there no law anymore!?"
The white-haired girl turned around and was just about to thank Evelia when the older woman, who had recovered her senses nearby, started a new round of performance, determined to carry "shameless" to its absolute limit. The white-haired girl's face visibly darkened. Clearly, even with her good personality, her patience had reached its limit after all this trouble.
"Ma'am~ You need to speak with evidence, you know~ You were the ones who started the scam and caused trouble first. You were also the ones who tried to get physical first. So how did this become the cute young lady hitting people? Besides... I recorded everything that just happened~ If I show this to the police officers, do you think they'll believe us or you? Furthermore... this young lady is a foreign tourist. If your actions affect our city's reputation, do you think... they'll go easy on you, or punish you severely?"
"You!"
At this moment, our angel miss who had been hiding finally revealed her heart, which was blacker than coal. She set the video recording of everything that had just happened to loop playback and smugly circled around the older woman who had collapsed on the ground, showing her the footage again and again. Finally, the older woman's somewhat immoral heart could no longer take it. She pointed at Amya with trembling hands, then "smack" fainted from sheer anger.
