19 A Broken Voice (2/2)

Collapsing into his arms, the old man stared at the little girl with evident worry.

She had felt unusually warm.

Gently placing his wrinkled hand to her forehead, he instantly felt Rin's burning forehead.

”General Guo, order the men to set up a new tent,” Commander Bai ordered directly. ”Get me the Bai's household physician now!”

Lifting her fragile body in his arms, he walks near the tent's entrance where the rest of the soldiers stared in horror.

Narrowing his eyes at the men, Commander Bai stopped in his tracks.

”You will speak of today's incident to no one. Understood?”

Hearing their Commander's penetrating icy tone, they all bobbed their heads immediately and bowed.

”Yes, Commander!” They all said in unison.

”En. Good. And don't forget to clean this mess up.” He promptly ordered before exiting the blood-scented tent.

Seeing their Commander's departing figure with the visible blood covered girl in his protecting arms, the soldiers shuddered before staring into the red tent.

A little girl...had brutally killed three grown men all by herself?

A violent shudder ran frantically down their spines once staring at the gory scene once more.
