Chapter 349
Julian was surrounded by many men. Though they weren’t very strong, there were a lot of them. He was also
trapped in the most remote alley of the place, which was obviously planned.
More importantly, these random punks must have taken a lot of effort to plan for this.
After Julian took out one man, another would take his place. Julian’s enemies were using numbers to overpower
him, and it was working as it constantly drained his strength.
It had been difficult for them to get close to Julian as he could still parry all the blows, but he was slowly getting
overwhelmed as his strength lessened, and his own attacks had less power in them as time passed.
Especially now that Diana was getting closer, what with Luke watching her with hungry eyes. For a moment, Julian
got distracted, and a heavy blow landed on his head.
The rain continued to pour down on them. Julian’s ears buzzed from the blow, but he shook his head roughly and
his eyes cleared.

He couldn’t let her get hurt.
Diana knew she would be no help. Although she had screamed at the crowd, no one came to help. She was
panicking inwardly. She knew at once that Julian had shouted at her to not approach him because he had noticed
the strangeness of the situation.
And yet, Julian’s head… There was blood running down his face, and it was an alarming sight as it bled into his
previously pristine white shirt.
Logically, Diana knew she should turn around and return to the car. She should avoid this alley and head back into
the crowd, then lock the doors and windows so she would be safe. However, her legs were rooted to the ground,
and she couldn’t move.
“Julian…” Diana whimpered, her face filled with worry.
Julian smiled at her, even in the dire situation he was in. “It’ll be fine.”
Though he said so, the bat came down hard on his shoulder in the next second.
He staggered from the unavoidable blow, and the men around him saw this moment to pounce all at once.
On the other hand, Luke spun the dagger in his hand lazily before raising it high above Julian’s head, acting like it
was a guillotine. The dagger would go right down on Julian’s head if he let go!
Diana tensed as she watched Julian struggle to fight the men around him.
He wasn’t a god. No matter how good he was at fighting, he couldn’t fight back against such odds.
Julian was already in a wretched situation, and Diana got more anxious as she watched.
Luke could tell what she felt from the expression on her face, and he deliberately waved the dagger repeatedly,
making it seem like it would drop at any moment.
With a wicked smile, Luke asked, “Do you want to save him?”
It turned out that the scumbag hadn’t touched her because he was confident that Diana would come to him on her
own initiative.
Diana knew she had fallen into a trap.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t just leave Julian in this situation, much less turn

“What do you want?” Diana asked, trying to bargain with Luke.
“Diana, go back!” Julian shouted.
He was disgusted by the sight of Luke. He hated the fact that he hadn’t dealt with the root of the problem back
then, and that the one and only time he had shown mercy had come to bite him in the ass.
Diana dearly wanted to obey Julian’s words, but the knife Luke had in his hand was too near to Julian’s head for
comfort.
Julian didn’t even have the strength to hit Luke. He was overwhelmed by the men around him.
Diana looked in the direction they were in and slowly moved toward them. Ignoring Julian’s words, she asked warily,
“Tell me what you want, Luke.”
“Hah…” Luke looked at Diana and swiped his tongue across his teeth. “That woman was right in every calculation
she made! She let me get my revenge on Julian, but I guess there was one thing she made a mistake on…”
Diana was indeed sincere toward Julian. She didn’t intend to save her own life in this situation, as Kayla had
predicted.
Still, that was all the more convenient for Luke…
And far more interesting!
