No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 337

Noelle was amazed by Cedric's expertly delivered punch. Mark was knocked to the ground, clutching his cheek in pain, unable to utter a word.

Norman, upon seeing his wealthy client get hit, immediately grabbed a metal locker nearby and hurled it at Cedric. Cedric deflected it with his arm just as Norman lunged at him.

Suddenly, the scene descended into chaos as Norman's close colleagues jumped in to join the brawl.

Seeing Cedric outnumbered, Noelle rushed over to help. Yet, despite her boxing training, she was still a young lady and naturally at a disadvantage against the men's superior physical strength.

"Stop! What do you think you're doing?" Jim Xenos, the gym owner, shouted as he hurried over.

Zachary was stunned to see Cedric in the middle of the fight. He rushed over and quickly took down the group with just a few moves, putting an end to the commotion.

Mark, who had been hiding in the back, got up and shouted, "You're the owner of this gym, right? These two attacked me—what are you going to do about it?"

Norman and his buddies were also sporting injuries. Standing beside Cedric, Noelle noticed blood seeping through his arm. "You're bleeding!" she exclaimed in panic.

"Are you hurt?" Cedric asked, checking her for injuries without even glancing at his own. When he saw she was unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.

Jim turned to Mark. "I've received several complaints about you harassing young female members here. Do you think no one noticed your behavior?"

Flustered, Mark retorted, "Everything I did with them was consensual. You have no right to interfere in my business."

"We have surveillance footage of your harassment."

"Hah! Bluff all you want!" Mark sneered, his voice slurred and his mouth bloody. "I'm calling the cops, no matter what! They even broke my teeth!"

"Go ahead; call them. I'm not afraid." Noelle said coldly. Taking Cedric's hand, she turned to Jim. "Mr. Xenos, do you have a first aid kit? His wound needs attention."
