A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1067

On his way back to his residence, Gerard had to pass through a few narrow alleyways.

These alleys were often filled with young women wearing revealing clothes and heavy makeup, calling out to passing men in hopes of getting business. As soon as they spotted Gerard, who was well-dressed, they swarmed toward him like bees.

"Hey, handsome! Want a good time? Fair price, great service, and satisfaction guaranteed."

"Come with us! We have a special deal just for you! It'll just be 500 dollars for the whole night. We know all the tricks."

"Don't run away! Come on! Girls, bring him inside!"

Just then, two bodyguards hiding nearby rushed out to protect Gerard. Normally, the women would back off the moment they saw bodyguards, but tonight was different. For some unknown reason, they were unusually aggressive, refusing to retreat and even chasing after Gerard relentlessly.

Gerard had no choice but to order his bodyguards to hold the women back by force while he quickly ducked into a narrow alley. As soon as he reached the corner, a sharp pain struck the back of his head, and everything went black.

Soon after, Gerard reappeared, walking briskly out of the alley as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards finally managed to scatter the persistent women.

"Mr. Cadwallader, are you all right?" one of the bodyguards asked.

"I'm fine," Gerard replied, shaking his head. "But I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's go to the place Richard arranged for me."

Though the bodyguards sensed something strange about him, it was dark, and the incident had happened so quickly that they didn't notice anything obviously wrong.
