Operation: Cobra Is Back novel Chapter 9

Dumbfounded!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

No one would have expected the scene to turn abruptly.

Duncan, who was about to be cut, was unharmed, but the yellow-haired man with the knife was knocked straight off his feet!

The crowd looked at Duncan and saw him calmly withdraw his hand as if he had just done a trivial thing.

A glint of hope rose in Bella's beautiful eyes.

"You fucking ..."

Cade came back to his senses, and his face turned crimson with anger as he cursed.

But before he could finish his sentence, Duncan moved first.

He moved like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of Cade.

He attacked directly and punched Cade hard in the stomach.

Cade felt as if he had been hit by a truck and flew off like a broken kite before smashing heavily into a tree behind him.

The tree crunched and snapped with the force!

"Is this ... still human strength?"

"It's too terrifying!"

Everyone was once again dumbfounded.

When the few remaining bandits saw this, they all swallowed hard and hesitated whether to approach forward.

He was outnumbered by them, so they might be able to beat him.

Duncan, however, gave them a cold stare, causing them to turn pale and shiver.

The look was terrifying!

At that moment, Cade also climbed to his feet and looked at Duncan in horror.

He knew how powerful Duncan was as soon as he struck!

The punch that he had just thrown had almost knocked him through the stomach, and now his whole body were still reeling.

He knew that he had met a master, so he didn't even dare to speak harsh words, turned around, and fled.

Seeing that their boss had run away, those bandits, including the female crook, dropped their knives and ran completely out of sight.

The danger came quickly and went even faster!

It was easily defused by Duncan in a flash.

"Good job, man!"

"Damn, they ran fast, or I'd have killed them!"

"Kid, thank you for helping us ..."

The crowd was confused for a moment and quickly reacted. Each of them was grateful to Duncan.

Under everyone's cheers, Duncan looked as normal and turned his head, then met Bella's bright eyes right on the spot.

"Okay, you're safe."

Duncan smiled brightly at her, then withdrew his gaze and looked around. Not wanting to stay any longer, he turned and left.

Bella was in a state of agitation.

He was obviously just a young man of her age, good-looking and fair, and yet he was able to righteously expose a scam!

He was even a martial arts master and defeated those bandits in a couple of blows, which was better than watching a movie!

She was about to say thank you when she saw Duncan turn and walk away. So she was in a hurry and hurriedly followed him.

"I haven't thanked you yet. Why are you walking so fast?"

Bella trotted and walked alongside Duncan.

From the corner of her eye, she surveyed Duncan's face. At this point, she was extremely curious about this handsome man.

"You don’t have to thank me. It's just a trivial matter."

Duncan smiled faintly, looking as if he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Bella's eyebrows knitted and she even wondered if she was unattractive.

How else could she not be attracted to this guy when she was surrounded by men all the time?

Bella managed to calm down and said, "Hi, I'm Bella. What's your name?"

Duncan turned his head to look at her. He didn't expect a beautiful woman like Bella to take the initiative to make his acquaintance.

But Duncan didn't think too much of it and said with a smile, "I'm Duncan. You have a lovely name."

Bella was happy to see that Duncan had finally stopped being prim and proper and had taken the initiative to compliment her.

She smiled and said, "The name is just a code name. By the way, how come you're so strong that you send people flying several meters with just a punch?"

As she spoke, she made a cute gesture of swinging her fist.

Duncan smiled faintly, not trying to explain, and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Where are you going? This place is pretty messy. You should go back early, and here is not a place for someone like you to stay."

"My family has arranged a marriage for me, but I haven't even seen who that person is. They wanted me to marry a stranger, and I didn't want to, so I stole out. Now I don't want to go back."

Bella didn't know why she was telling Duncan this. After all, they had only known each other for a short time.

But at this point, she didn't want to think too much about it, and after a moment's thought, she said, "How about this? I'll take you a place and buy you dinner to thank you for help. You can also protect me along the way, right?"

"You wouldn't want to see a girl like me wandering around in the slums. If anything happens to me..."

She made a pitiful face, and tears welled up in her eyes. It seemed that if Duncan didn't say yes to her, she would cry, which made him unable to refuse.

Duncan smiled, thinking that he really had nowhere to go, and simply nodded in agreement.

"All right then. I'll do whatever you want tonight!"

At these words, Bella's face flushed and she thought, "His words sound a bit odd.”

Looking at Duncan's wry smile, she knew she was being flirted with by him!

"You're so annoying!"

Bella spat and reached out to smack Duncan on his firm arm.

She said he was annoying, but in fact, she had no resentment towards him, rather some strange emotions had grown up in her heart.

The two of them didn't stay here much longer and turned to go elsewhere.

But when they reached the place, Duncan couldn't help but smile bitterly. She said it was a nice place, but they were actually in a bar!

The bar was called "Mysterious Midnight Bar", a high-end entertainment venue that catered to the most privileged people in JN City...

Spending here could easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars at a time, and although Duncan was a dude in his previous life, he hadn't been here many times at all.

Bella was particularly familiar with the place, and a waiter came up to greet her as soon as she entered.

"Miss White, sorry. There are a lot of customers today, so there are no private rooms available. Why don't you go upstairs and look for Flora?"

"No need. We'll just hang out in the lobby."

Bella didn't really want to be disturbed right now and waved her hand to look at Duncan and asked, "Duncan, you're not upset about being entertained in the lobby, are you?"

"It's the same everywhere."

Duncan smiled indifferently.

Only then was Bella relieved and, with a smile, took Duncan's hand and headed inside.

At the sight of this, a strange look flashed across the waiter's face and he subconsciously looked at Duncan a few more times.

Who was this guy? Why was he so close to Miss White? Was he a toy boy?

Duncan didn't know what he was thinking and quickly took a seat at one of the booths in the bar.

Bella then called for drinks and ordered a lot of fancy food like abalone, shark fins, and king crab to serve Duncan.

Duncan wasted no time and ate straight away!

He was hungry after a long day of healing and fighting.

"Bella, what are you doing here?"

At that moment, a discordant voice rang out.
