Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 200 The Daughter of the Motorcycle Gang Leader

Upon receiving Violeta's answer, the woman's face lit up with happiness.

Following a short chat with Violeta, she swayed her waist and headed towards Hayden. Violeta glimpsed at the

woman's departing form before resuming her exploration of the base camp.

Approximately seven or eight minutes later, the woman cback to Violeta with a crestfallen look. "Are you

joking with me?"

Violeta was confused. "What are you trying to say?"

The woman clarified, "You mentioned he's not your boyfriend, but he explicitly stated that you're his girlfriend!"

Violeta was taken aback. "Huh?"

The woman walked over with Violeta and confronted Hayden.

"Are you two a couple or not?"

Violeta's gaze met Hayden's, and they shared a silent understanding of something.

It seemed Hayden used her as a shield to reject the woman.

Since the woman didn't know her, Violeta complied with Hayden and said, "Yes."

Upon hearing her response, the woman grew even angrier.

"You're both playing games with me! You said no earlier, and now you're saying yes?"

Violeta replied hesitantly, "I wasn't playing with you."

The woman put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Arrest them!"

Her loud call instantly drew the attention of seven or eight burly men from the crowd, who surrounded Violeta

and Hayden.

Violeta was momentarily stunned, not expecting the situation to escalate like this. She glanced at Hayden.

Nearby, Jasper and the others noticed the commotion and hurried over.

"What's going on here?"

A man who had chatted with Zoren earlier informed them, "That's Natalie Yarrow, the daughter of the local

motorcycle gang leader. How did you guys manage to anger her?" Irritating the daughter of the motorcycle gang

leader?

Quite audacious.

Zoren moved ahead to protect Violeta and questioned, "What's the matter? Are you seeking a confrontation?"

Jasper and Liam joined them.

"Vio, what's going on?"

Violeta murmured, "This woman was flirting with Hayden, but he usedas a pretext to turn her down. We

didn't anticipate her reaction."

Liam glanced at Natalie in front of him, adopting a more friendly tone.

"Miss, why don't you try your luck with someone else? Hayden doesn't appreciate being approached like this.

Besides, even if you initiate a conversation, shouldn't others have the right to decline? What kind of logic is this?

We're all here to have a good time, so how about we all take a step back? If things escalate, | guarantee it won't

end well for anyone."

Natalie narrowed her eyes. "We won't end well? Haha, you think I'm a fool! This girl just said she's not his

girlfriend, and now he's saying she is. You're just trying to fool people here!"

Violeta interrupted, "It's simply a miscommunication."

Natalie countered. "A miscommunication? Then finish all the beer in those two boxes over there, and we'll regard

this matter as resolved. Your behaviour has been deceitful since you got here. Your integrity is in doubt!"

She pointed to several beer boxes under the nearby table, demanding that Violeta finish all the drinks.

Otherwise, the matter wouldn't be settled.

Violeta hadn't expected the woman to be so hot-tempered. Glancing at the boxes of beer under the table, she

spoke up, "What if | refuse to drink?"

"Refuse? Haha."

Natalie sneered, "Haven't you heard that people often die at Moon Bay? Offend me, and do you think you'll

safely leave? Ridiculous. | can easily toss you into a ditch, and tomorrow's news will report a few daredevils

crashing their motorcycles off a cliff, bodies never to be found."

Violeta was speechless.

Huh!

Quite a bold statement indeed.

Indeed, it carries a strong implication.

Violeta chuckled, while Hayden's expression darkened slightly.

Liam remarked, "You really overestimate yourselves. Just a few of you think you can trap anyone?"

Natalie retorted, "Then let's give it a try! Attack them!"

At her command, several burly men nearby rushed forward to subdue them.

Violeta, being the only woman among them, naturally bectheir primary target. Three of the men charged at

her, but she swiftly kicked over a nearby bench and then delivered a powerful kick. The bench struck the chests

of the three men with great force, sending them tumbling to the ground.

"ARI

"Thud!"

The three burly men, now lying on the ground with the bench on their chests, felt the pain throbbing in their

chests.

They hadn't expected Violeta to appear fragile but possess such strength.

"This d*mn girl! Grab her, guys!"

Several more burly men lunged at Violeta, but this tthey were intercepted by Zolen and the others using

bottles. "Where do you think you're going?"

Next cthe shifting of tables, bottles flying, and glass shards scattering everywhere, extinguishing several

lights on the ceiling. Observers at the gathering swiftly sought shelter outside, whispering among themselves.

"Oh gosh, this is escalating into a conflict!"

"I never thought these people would be so proficient in fighting."

"I presumed that girl would depend entirely on men for defence, but despite her slim figure, she can defend

herself well in a brawl!"

"Hey, check it out! Natalie is calling for backup."

"It seems they're in a tough spot. Natalie's dad heads the motorcycle gang. By crossing them, they've probably

put their future in Quinston at risk."
