A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 756 756:

Since Koryn City.

Dirk Carter had intermittently experienced many dangers.

So his security detail became particularly important.

At Dorothy Zechariah's suggestion.

The people protecting him now consist of two layers: the first layer is in the open, mainly led by Arlo Yarbrough.

There is another layer, called the shadow.

That's The Leopard Cat.

The Leopard Cat is a fugitive and can't go anywhere.

By sticking around Dirk Carter as a bodyguard, she can also receive Dirk Carter's "protection".

Moreover, her combat power surpasses that of Dirk Carter and Arlo Yarbrough.

Under normal circumstances, she doesn't take action. When she needs to take action, it's not a normal situation anymore.

Just as he was about to move forward.

The Leopard Cat stopped him.

Looked at the woman on the ground.

Said, "These people, Arlo and I will handle them. You take her and go first."

Thinking that even the shadow has taken action, it should be alright.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Be careful, you two."

After speaking.

He squatted down.

Supported the woman and said, "Let's go!"

"Quick, stop them."

Seeing the woman about to be taken away, the man with the shaved head, who had been punched by The Leopard Cat, quickly shouted.

Seeing this.

The remaining seven or eight people prepared to chase after Dirk Carter, but were blocked by The Leopard Cat and Arlo Yarbrough...

After experiencing a collision and being dragged by the man with the shaved head.

The woman was already in a weakened state.

With Dirk Carter's support, she laboriously ran forward a bit and then stopped a taxi.

"Miss, where do you live? I'll take you home!"

Dirk Carter said after getting in the car.

The woman weakly shook her head and said, "I... I can't go home... They... they will find my home."

Even though he got the key to the dormitory.

Arlo Yarbrough didn't tell him where the address was.

Pausing, he asked, "How about I take you to a hotel?"

The woman looked up.

Her messy hair covered her face, and Dirk Carter couldn't see clearly.

After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded and said, "Alright."

Out of a need for caution.

Dirk Carter had the taxi driver drive forward a bit, away from the "scene of the incident".

Then got out of the car with the woman.

Walked into the alley by the roadside, carefully searching.

The reason why he didn't let the taxi driver take them directly to the hotel was also for safety considerations, to avoid revealing their whereabouts.

After searching for about ten minutes.

Dirk Carter saw a sign for a budget hotel.

Just as he was about to support the woman inside, she stopped in her tracks and said, "I... I didn't bring my ID card..."

"It's okay, I have mine."

Dirk Carter said.

Just like that.

The weakened woman was taken into the room by Dirk Carter.

"Do I need to call the police for you?"

Closing the door.

Dirk Carter asked the woman.

As soon as she heard about calling the police.

The woman immediately became anxious.

Waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No police, no police, if you call the police, I'm done for..."

Seeing her so agitated.

Dirk Carter hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I won't call the police, I won't call the police, you sit down and rest for a while..."

The woman's rapid breathing finally began to calm down.

"You're not from around here?"

After a moment of silence, the woman asked.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm from Serenity State."

The woman visibly sighed with relief.

Looking back at the bathroom door.

Said, "Can... can you help me to the bathroom, I... I want to take a shower, I... I haven't showered in days."

"Oh, sure."

Dirk Carter immediately stood up.

Supported the woman.

Stumbled to the bathroom door.

The woman let go of Dirk Carter and supported herself against the wall as she walked in.

After waiting for about five or six minutes.

The sound of running water began inside.

The shower must have started.

During this time, Dirk Carter received a call from Arlo Yarbrough, saying that the two of them had safely retreated from the scene and, knowing that Dirk Carter was also safe, they were relieved.

Dirk Carter originally wanted Arlo Yarbrough to come to the hotel to pick him up.

He hadn't had the chance to say it out loud.

Just heard a crash from the shower room.

Judging from the sound, someone seemed to have fallen to the ground.

Then, a sobbing sound came from inside.

"Arlo, I'll call you later."

After speaking.

Dirk Carter hung up the phone.

Quickly got up and headed to the bathroom door.

Knocked on the door.

Shouted, "Miss, are you alright? Did you fall?"

The woman didn't respond, she kept crying.

Dirk Carter couldn't recklessly open the door.

Just then, he heard a crashing sound inside.

It seemed to be the sound of a glass breaking.

Realizing the situation wasn't right.

Dirk Carter immediately tried to turn the door lock.

Only then did he find that the bathroom door was locked from the inside.

"Miss, are you alright? If you don't respond, I'm coming in..."

Dirk Carter shouted anxiously.

But still no response from the woman.

Couldn't hold it any longer.

Kicked the door, with a loud bang, the door was forcefully opened.

On the bathroom floor, the woman was curled up naked on the ground, holding a glass shard in one hand, just about to cut her other wrist.

Didn't have time to care about anything else.

Dirk Carter rushed forward.

Controlled the woman's right hand.

She wanted to do something foolish, but she didn't have the strength of Dirk Carter, and eventually, Dirk Carter took the glass shard from her hand.

"Let me die... let me die, I'm begging you, let me die..."

The woman still wanted to grab the glass shards on the ground.

Seeing her so out of control.

Dirk Carter slapped her across the face.

Angrily said, "You ungrateful woman, I risked my life to save you, and now you want to end it all. This room is booked with my ID card. If you die here, how do I explain to the police?"

One slap and those words.

The woman's eyes became hollow.

She hugged her own legs, curling up, and cried loudly.

Seeing her looking so pitiful.

Dirk Carter let out a long sigh.

Said, "Miss, the floor is cold, let me move you to the bed. Please don't blame me for being discourteous."

After speaking.

He squatted down.

One hand around her neck, the other hand under her knees, lifted her up.

Walked out of the shower room.

Placed her dripping wet body on the bed.

Then pulled up the quilt and covered her.

Seeing her still sobbing continuously, Dirk Carter didn't know what to say.

"C-could you stay on the bed with me for a bit? I- I'm scared!"

The woman suddenly stopped crying.

Turned her head and softly said to Dirk Carter.

Seeing her so pitiful, and thinking of the terrible things she must have experienced, Dirk Carter felt somewhat softened.

Said, "As long as you don't do anything silly, anything is fine."

After speaking.

He climbed onto the bed.

Sat down beside the woman.

Because of the shower, the woman's body was completely bare.

Dirk Carter didn't dare to sit too close.
