The scarred man had no time to dodge. The force of the kick sent him flying backward, his body slamming hard onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. For a moment, he couldn't even get up.
Just then, headlights pierced the darkness. Several cars screeched to a halt in front of them, and Aaron leaped out, followed by reinforcements.
The new arrivals swarmed from the cars, and in a matter of moments, the remaining black-clad men were subdued. Within minutes, the entire arrogant group was bound and on their knees.
Only then did Aaron approach Dennis to report. “Mr. Williams, you were right. There were several other groups lying in wait nearby, all targeting you. They've all been taken care of and are being held in a nearby abandoned warehouse.”
Dennis nodded, pleased with Aaron's efficiency. “Take these men there as well.”
“Yes, sir!” Aaron acknowledged, then motioned for his men to haul the captives away.
Soon, the entire group was being led off.
Christian stood frozen, utterly bewildered. “Aaron, what in the world is going on?” How had so many people appeared out of nowhere?
