Chapter 130

Be A Hero

Having noticed that Jared was unfazed by Rhino’s status, Yolanda surmised that he wasn’t an ordinary
person.

“We work at the same office and are neighbors since our teenage years. Hence, I can tell you there’s
nothing particularly special about him,” Hilda replied with a frown.

“Impossible! How can he not be afraid if he doesn’t have some strong backing?”

Yolanda was unconvinced. If Jared was someone ordinary, he would have already been frightened to
death.

“He really doesn’t have any patron. In fact, Jared has just been released from prison.”

From Hilda’s perspective, Jared’s jail stint was probably what made him tough, which was why ordinary
citizens have an inherent fear of ex-convicts.

“No wonder. I’m sure you must have gotten to know someone when you were in prison. Nonetheless,
Rhino isn’t just an ordinary street thug. He’s actually a member of the Crimson Dragon Gang. That’s
why I urge you to leave with Hilda right now,” Yolanda pleaded with Jared.

“Crimson Dragon Gang?” Jared was intrigued. In fact, he was surprised at the fact that he kept running
into them that day.

“Why? Are you scared already? The Crimson Dragon Gang is Horington’s biggest gang. The gang
whom you are involved with is so insignificant that they can’t protect you. Hence, you should just take
Hilda and leave. I’ll see what I can do to pacify Rhino. At most, I’ll not take any payment for the night.”

Yolanda planned to beg for mercy on their behalf.



“What?” Jared laughed out loud. “They’re the ones who should be afraid of me. In fact, they will flee the
moment they see me.”

“Afraid of you?” Yolanda scrutinized Jared before sneering, “This is not a joke. If you want to be a hero,
be my guest, but don’t drag Hilda into this.”

Just as she spoke, Yolanda held Hilda’s hands. “Hilda, let’s go. He can stay and play hero as much as
he wants. That aside, what kind of boyfriend have you found yourself?”

Initially, Yolanda had a good impression of Jared when he tried to convince Hilda to attend the class
reunion. But now, she had changed her view and simply saw him as someone hot-headed.

“Yolanda, Jared isn’t someone like that.”

Despite her refusal to leave, Hilda was dragged away forcefully by Yolanda.

“Hilda, don’t be a fool. You don’t mingle with the underworld and naturally aren’t aware of how powerful
the Crimson Dragon Gang is. Everyone in Horington fears them. As for Jared, he is deluded about his
own capabilities just because he spent a few years in prison.”

Yolanda refused to let Hilda go.

Just when Hilda was struggling to free herself, a group of men suddenly appeared. In their lead was
Rhino, who had his head bandaged.

At the sight of the men, Yolanda began to panic. Her face turned ashen as she released Hilda’s hand.

Hilda was petrified too when faced with the large group of vicious-looking men.

In contrast, Jared remained seated calmly.



“Kid, I gotta give it to you for not fleeing. But today, I will show you that I mean business!”

With that, Rhino bent down to grab a beer bottle and charged at Jared.

“Rhino!”

Worried for her friends, Yolanda hurried forward to block him. “Rhino, please calm down. Just a while
ago, he was utterly terrified and has regretted his actions after I told him who you were. On my
account, please show him mercy just this once. I’ll not only spend a few nights with you for free, but I’ll
also get him to pay you compensation.”

Initially, Rhino was in no mood for forgiveness. However, the mention of compensation caused him to
lower the beer bottle in his hand. Turning to Yolanda, he asked, “How much can he pay? This head of
mine costs a lot!”
