Chapter 2: Surrounded
Mai sighed, knowing that the power her family held was probably the reason all of that was happening in her life, but she was in no position to complain, she felt all of the shackles, wrapping around her, trapping her within their feud.
Due to having a big business empire, they had business rivals, but none was as bad as them creating a popular dojo, one due to which, they became the rivals of many other dojo and constantly got into fights with other people, but not her.
She had a reputation to keep being the daughter of her family and wondered, whether the person who was following her was from one of the other rival dojo's or was it actually someone who wanted her gone for other reasons.
"I know you are there, who are you?" She asked and the person came out from hiding with a lasso by their side and her brows furrowed as she looked at the way he was dressed.
"Who I am is none of your concern, this is none of your business either, you keep getting in other's way, you will pay for it," He responded as he rushed to attack her and she dodged the lasso, as quickly as she could.
"When did I ever cause problems for the likes of you?" She asked as she was surrounded by men covered in masks and her eyes narrowed as she looked at them.
"This is your final warning, back off and I won't hurt anyone," She said as he rushed towards her.
The girl spun around, kicking him in his stomach, then grabbed onto the edge of his lasso, pulling him closer to her and she kicked him under his neck, sending him flying across the ground and he crashed into a wall, coughing up blood.
"You guys are not from any dojo I know of, who are you? Who sent you?" She asked as they rushed to attack her and she spun the lasso around her, hitting each and every one of them as hard as she could.
'What's going on here? They are serious about killing me?' She thought and at the same time, her friends came out and saw what was going on and rushed to her side.
"What's going on here?" One of the guys among them asked as they looked at Mai.
"Looks like I am getting you guys involved in my mess, sorry about this," She replied.
"Don't apologize, there is no need, what else are friends for," Her bestie said and she smiled, hoping that they wouldn't get hurt in the process.
'Whose plan is this? What am I going to do if something happens to these guys because of me?' She wondered as they rushed to attack them.
She helped them to fight them off, one by one and just then she felt a strong gaze on her and her brows furrowed, but she couldn't focus on that.
One of the guys was about to hit her friend and she kicked him by the side of his face, with so much force that it sent him flipping over and into the ground.
"Don't touch her," She said with a piercing look in her eyes as she looked at the rest of them and grabbed onto another guy's arm, breaking it and he fell to his knees, screaming in pain and her eyes narrowed.
"Whoever is behind this, I am not going to forgive them, be it, my own family," She mumbled.
As the girl fought them off, using the methods she knew best, just then, one of them came from beside her, using the rest of them that were fighting as a cover, stabbing her in her arm and she gritted her teeth as she turned around to look at him.
"Mai," Her best friend called out and the girl punched the guy in his face and her friend grabbed him by his neck and threw him back into a wall, as the girl pulled out the knife from her arm.
"Are you okay?" Sally asked as she looked at the blood dripping down Mai's arms and her brows furrowed.
"It's okay, stay behind me, you can't fight like the others, you will end up getting hurt and it will be because of me, I don't want that so please," She responded as she lowered her gaze and Sally sighed then nodded and went behind the girl.
"Hurt them and I will kill all of you, this has nothing to do with any of them, so keep them out of it," She said as she attacked a few of them, not holding back to hurt them and the girl grabbed one of their knives that fell to the ground.
"Let's just go from here, you got injured during your match today," One of the guys said and Mai exhaled deeply, for she was tired as well.
"They won't let us go just like that," She said and the others glanced at her.
"Is it because of that? Your family won't, would they?" The same guy asked and she lowered her gaze.
"Please tell me that we are wrong," Sally said and Mai smiled at her then nodded and Sally's eyes shook with fear, for she was worried about what may happen next.
Mai and the others kept on fighting them and due to how angry she was at what was happening, she didn't hold back, severely injuring those that tried to hurt her friends, breaking many bones and just then, she felt the person's gaze on her and she stopped fighting then turned around.
"Mai," Someone mumbled and she saw something standing in the shadows and her eyes narrowed.
'It can't be who I think it is right?' She wondered as she approached the person and her friends looked at her but didn't know were she was going or if anyone was there, since he was standing behind a pillar in the dark alleyway.
"Mai, I called the cops," Sally said and Mai swallowed.
"Is it really you? Did you do this?" She asked and the guy did not answer her.
"Mai!" Someone called out and her eyes widened as she turned around and saw her little brother exiting a car and she gasped as she looked at the remaining men around them and her brother waved at her with a bright and joyful smile on his face.
