Chapter 289: Pay or Sacrifice?

Lu Qi stared at Rong Qi, shaking her head vigorously and making muffled sounds. Tears streamed down her face, a mixture of fear and concern in her eyes.

The leader suddenly grabbed Lu Qi's hair and taunted Rong Qi, "Miss Rong, money or sacrifice? You choose."

Rong Qi lowered her gaze, adjusted the black hat on her head, and slowly curved her lips into a smile. She said, "I choose... to fight!"

With that, Rong Qi lunged toward the bald man at the front, engaging in a rapid exchange of blows.

Capture the leader first; Rong Qi was well-versed in that principle.

"You're brave! Let's see how you plan to escape!" The leader said, then exchanged a few moves with Rong Qi. She was forced to step back a few paces, quickly surrounded by a group of men.

Rong Qi's attempt at a surprise attack failed, only boosting their confidence.
