Burning Passion

CHAPTER 228: MIGHT NOT GO ON A DATE AGAIN?

* * *

When one man grabbed Harry by the shoulder. He already prepared his elbow to thrust it into the man's chin. The man instantly senses the pain when his head forcibly throws upward and a bone on his neck makes a sound crack. But Harry was not done yet. He grabs him on the neck, and he thrusts his knee into his stomach. 

The other men just watched their companion when he collapsed on the ground. 

After then, one man becomes too annoyed now. He grabbed a baseball bat. He swung his body in an attempt to smash Harry on the head.

"Harry!" Kristina screamed when she saw the man was about to smash him with a baseball bat. 

Gladly, Harry's flexibility and alertness are on a high level. He dodges it instantly. However, the guy is persistent. He kept smashing the bat on him. Harry waited for the right moment, and he could punch him. He gives the guy another punch until the baseball bat loosens in his hand. 

Harry takes this opportunity to strike a strong palm punch on the man's belly, who almost vomits after. The man staggered his steps backward and collapsed on the ground. 

The rest of the men were in great shock. After coming back to their senses, three of them ran toward Harry at once. But then, they heard a loud bang. It was a shotgun fired into the sky.

Men are coming out from the diner walking toward them. The four men shaking in fear, they forget to pick up their companion but save only themselves. They rush to their car and leave that place. 

"Are you both okay?" 

Asked the man who holds a shotgun. He was the same man sitting in front of the cash register in the diner. 

Harry nodded at him. He shifted his attention toward Kristina, who remained standing close to his car. The broken window glass scattered on the ground where Kristina stood.

"Be careful with the broken window glass."

Hearing Harry's voice, Kristina slowly came back to her senses. She blinks her eyes many times before she finally realizes that the fight is finally over. Someone help them. She runs toward Harry and holds him tight. 

"Harry, I'm glad you are fine!" 

At this moment, Kristina was just able to burst with tears. She was trying to remain calm, but the truth was it scared her that something would happen to Harry.

Harry felt that Kristina was shuddering. He unconsciously wrapped his arms around Kristina's body to comfort her. 

"I'm fine. Don't be afraid now." 

Not long, they heard a police patrol car siren. The three men who were now awake had realized what's going on. Their faces went pale; they tried to run. But the men from the diner who came over apprehend them from escaping. 

A Police Officer interviewed Harry, and he detailed what happened. 

Another police officer interviewed the man holding a shotgun. He points out Harry and Kristina's direction. The man who happens, the owner of the Pizza House, and these police officers are already familiar with him. He stated that Harry and Kristina were his customers, and they left the diner not that long yet. Several minutes later, someone told him that a fight was happening in his parking lot, the reason he came out and gave a warning shot in the air. 

Harry and Kristina, including the three men Harry beats down, are now brought to the Police Station to file a case and further investigation. 

They towed his car as evidence that they broke the windows and must pay an obligation to fix it. So they will invite their parents. 

The Shang's Butler, Mr. Feng, was invited to the Police Department. 

Mr. Feng used to receive a call from the Police Station when Garry was involved with countless trouble. And it was the first time that the person involved in a fight is the quietest young master he serves. But the beautiful girl sitting next to him made Mr. Feng's mouth curled with happiness.

'So the Young Master went on a date for the first time?' He is well-informed that Harry only goes out on a group date.

"Young Master, are you alright?" 

"Mr. Feng, about the car..." Harry feels embarrassed that he got into trouble for the first time. 

Pursing an amusing smile, Mr. Feng replied, "It's alright, Young Master. The insurance can cover the repair. But we will sue those bastards to pay the costs. Leave everything to me." 

Harry heaves a sigh of relief. But he was ashamed that Kristina got involved as well; almost something happened to her. If those bastards succeeded to take Kristina away. He couldn't forgive himself.

"Young Master, I will settle a few things before I drive you back to the University." 

"Thank you, Mr. Feng." 

The Butler bowed and left to talk to the assigned officer in his master's case. 

Harry seated back to the chair. His fingers are tapping on his legs while he speaks up. 

"I'm sorry." He told Kristina after a long silence. 

Kristina looked up and stared at Harry's face. It was him who was in real danger but Harry, who apologized instead. 

"No. It's not your fault. You have nothing to apologize for." Kristina replied.

"Our date suddenly turns out bad." Harry could not stop apologizing. But he did not expect that some men who had grudges to his friends will come to him.

Kristina pushed a sweet smile and uttered to Harry. "But I enjoyed it! I mean, most of it! You need not feel bad. Things turn okay after all." 

"Yeah. So..." 

Kristina bites her lower lip. It worries her now because of what happened might Harry ask her out again. 

Harry takes a deep breath as he says, "Maybe it's better going out on a day to avoid trouble. What do you think?" 

Kristina's eyes twinkled. Does this mean Harry is asking her to go on a date again?

She realized that she was staring at Harry for a longer time, and Harry never left his gaze to her. 

"Oh, ahem! Yeah! It's cool during the daytime!" Damn, she almost stutters her words. 

Harry pushes a timid smile, which he was about to ask Kristina to go out again, but Mr. Feng approaches them to announce that he will send them back to the University.

Seated quietly at the back of the Shang's family car, Harry couldn't bring himself to talk to Kristina when Mr. Feng keenly observed them. So Harry requested the butler to drop them a little distance from their dormitories. 

Mr. Feng instantly pulled over the car. He understood why his young master made such a request. He wanted to talk to the girl in private.

"Thank you, Mr. Feng," said Harry.

"You are welcome, Young Master. Let me handle the incident tonight. Good night, Miss Kristina." 

"Thank you very much, Mr. Feng." Kristina tore a warm smile. 

Mr. Feng thinks this girl is truly a beauty. He bowed before he went back to the car. 

Harry and Kristina waited for the car to disappear from their sight.
