Elian was frustrated to the inally eaten quite heartily: the food was fresh and delicious, the waiter was cute and friendly, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated Even though the price was a bit high, just looking at Daren’s food portions, it made one feel the price orth it!

The person paying isn’t even you, Eli responded silently in his heart, having heard his thoughts

Who knew that as he was peeling the shri the steak, Ezart was gnawing on a dru platefuls of food back to his seat

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out and a crowd of people rushed in One of theet down on the floor, both hands up in the air!”

The people in the restaurant all froze Everyone, holding various kinds of food, had their eyes fixed on the sa cri out The guests in the restaurant began to scream and attempted to flee However, the only door was blocked by the terrorists In the end, they could only cram into the depths of the restaurant

At this tiuests still sat at their table In the midst of the chaos, they stood out in particular

Elian shoved the peeled shrimp inside his mouth and slurred to the people, “No, let’s not act rashly and scare them offDar, hurry up and eat what you want”

Daren finished the two large plates of food at an alar Elian’s words, he nodded his head and simultaneously finished some more food

Eloise simply held her lobster and squatted down on the floor to continue eating Anyway, didn’t those criet down on the floor?

Eli set down his fork and knife, used a napkin to wipe his mouth, and then squatted next to Eloise

Ezart irabbed a few drumsticks, and then sat on the floor and continued to eat

At this tiuns randoot the situation under their control, and everyone was forced to crouch in the empty area in the center of the restaurant

It all happened too fast, and even for someone who eats as fast as Daren, it was impossible to finish all the food on his plate Since there were a few people who had not crouched yet, he had to hold his two large plates in his hands and hide his body a his friends as he worked hard to finish his food

Although the atan to sob quietly, there were still five people who didn’t show the slightest bit of anxiety, lowering their heads to eat in bitter silence

“Maybe on’t have to pay now,” Eli said wistfully

“Oh!” Elian’s eyes suddenly shone That iveherself still unsatisfied, turned to the side to ask for e plates of food

“Okay” Daren readily tossed a crab over

“I want some too” Ezart reached out and uncerelared at hie, so only wo peevishly, “Then are you saying that Dar isn’t a ot the cake”

“That’s different! Dar’s so cute, he’s naturally suited to eating cate! You big porcupine-head, why are you eating cake?”

“You…”

“Silence!” the gun-bearing thugs roared

Despite the warning, these five weren’t concerned one bit, but the people squatting next to thelared at theood for them,” “Hurry and shut up,” etc They were simply so fierce it was ie of the, so the five could only obediently close their mouths

“What exactly do they want to do?” Elian secretly asked Eli

“Terrorists only take hostages for hed bitterly for a et it, of course we’re not scared of thehting now, soht be hurt Therefore, this situation should be left to the governes I think they only want et it”

Eli nodded, saying lowly, “They just want to get the money and leave They probably have no intention to kill”

Upon hearing this, Elian felt even more reassured He even had a “Terrorists, you did well, helping saveDar fro spree” sentiment

Daren ate about a plateful and felt a bit full, so he stopped eating He gave the reht over

“Waah! Wah…”

“Don’t cry, child, don’t cry! Don’t be afraid, Mo not far fro her hand Although tears still hung in froentle voice to tell the child not to be afraid

So this wasa mother? Daren examined the two curiously

Perhaps the baby was able to sense the abnor of the mother It cried so hard that the once smiley face had turned red from all the effort

One of the terrorists anxiously stared at the baby at first Then as the baby cried and shouted louder and louder, he actually pointed his gun at the ! Tell him to shut up, you hear me? Or I’ll shoot the both of you!”

In a panic, the , “Child, darling, don’t cry, quickly stop crying!”

Don’t cry! Or else you will cause yourin his heart

The infant, however, only cried itated terrorist carried his gun and walked towards them, with a fierce look on his face

Elian and her friends became alert with stern looks in their eyes

“What are you doing? Don’t cause trouble!” Other thugs saw that so and hurriedly tried to stop his opened his s quieted

This was their leader, Daren decided

The leader walked steadily towards the entle smile on his face He mildly scolded his confederates when he passed thee? This infant is quite cute!”

The leader walked in front of the mother and reached out his hand to tease the little infant The infant actually stopped crying, curiously looking at this stranger

The leader reached out and tried to cuddle the baby Confused, the mother was not sure what to do at first, but she seemed a little bit more relieved when she saw the s, the child was in the terrorist leader’s ar the baby, he leader cooed and rocked the baby as he walked towards the

Daren didn’t relax one bit He thought, to becos, this person definitely isn’t souy

“Isn’t the sky outside pretty?” the leader asked the infant, ser! Daren’s mental alarms went off, and he instinctively positioned hier

The leader broke thein one shot, grabbed the baby with one hand, and stuck it outside

Theto not understand what had just happened

Even the cri actions

“Ti this chance to res should be ready”

The infant!

Daren watched as the infant was about to be dropped out theAt this ti to save the infant would alarreater casualties Sacrificing the infant to wait for the best time to intercede would save a lot more people

Besides, at this altitude, he would have to reveal his steel wings to save the infant At this moment there were too raphed, thus violating the master’s orders

Thethe infant was the best choice

At this point, the leader let go The infant cried out “waah” once

“My child!” the mother shouted hoarsely

Daren moved He quickly rushed to the , so quickly that the leader didn’t even have time to react before he’d already jued the baby, they began to feel the power of gravity The steel wings’ activation would still take a few seconds He needed to buy soht hand into the department store’s wall

However, he was too heavy This bit of support wasn’t enough to allow him to stop and couldn’t even decrease the speed by much He also had to adhere his soles to the wall, and then, finally the rate of falling began to decrease

Gunfire!

Daren heard it suddenly Although there was only one shot, he heard the gunfire from the place he was before Surely it wasn’t because of his reckless behaviour, right?

Ezart, Elian-ge, and the others were still upstairs!

He was very anxious, feeling that even the Steel Wing’s flight was too slow, so he si to the roof

From the transparenthe could see Elian in front of the infant’s ht sabres to block the terrorist’s bullets Standing next to Elian, Ezart and Eloise also had weapons raised Eli supported the heartbroken es in their hands They pointed their guns at the other people, wanting to stop Elian and the others

Seeing this, Daren’s heart jolted Placing the infant under his tight shi+rt and protecting its life securely, he shattered the

At this tiunshots were concentrated on Daren Solaris, but he used the copper steel wings to block ed sorazed his body, but the harm caused was not substantial

“Daren says,‘Quick! Take the opportunity to defeat them,’” Eli whispered to the others

Elian immediately said, “Ezart, the five on the left; Eloise and Eli, the three on the right”

Once Ezart heard “five on the left,” he proed toward them Eloise and Eli had rushed out at the sah Elian’s directions hadn’t left his hts are faster than words, and Eli had long been “listening” to Elian’s instructions the whole time

Their speed was so fast that by the time the terrorists reacted, the three had already taken out two of the enemy

Elian was a dual-wielder, a blade in both his left hand and his right, cutting off two eneuns naturally fell to the ground, and they also collapsed and wailed incessantly

Ezart used his fist to send a guy flying, who then knocked into one of his co as well

Because Eloise had coht her meteor mallet, she could onlyWith one blow, she lass screen and continue to fly back through the restaurant’s glass door He then fell to the floor, unable to le sound

Eli silently appeared behind a terrorist, and then silently stabbed a knife into his body and just as noiselessly returned to Eloise’s side

Although the terrorists were able to realize as happening when their companions were pummeled down one after another, they still directed their attention to these h they hadabout the team One by one, the terrorists were defeated

“Attack the hostages!” The leader, seeing that the situation had gone wrong, immediately shouted

The terrorists iuns at the croho panicked and screaunshot echoed in the restaurant, and everyone in the crowd thought they were dead for sure… However, they did not feel any pain after the gun had fired

They raised their heads and looked up

A huge silver wing covered the boy with his face hidden faced them, and blocked all the attacks for theunshot and started crying

“My baby!” exclaimed the mother She ran to the silver-haired youth and faced him, both terrified and with hope in her eyes

Daren took the baby out fro its erly into her embrace

“Child! Oh, my child!”

The mother looked at her child, unhar boy The fear in her eyes had vanished, and gratitude and tenderness was all that was left She spoke softly, “Thank you! Thank you…angel”

Her voice was all too soft and gentle, nearly inaudible in this ht Yet Daren heard her particularly well That “angel”did that referr to hiel

“Dark Sun!”

Elian’s frustrated voice finally snapped him out of his trance Only then did he realize that Elian was standing behind hiht sabres

Daren turned around and looked at the situation The terrorists should not have been a match for them, but they were constantly forced to stop their assaults and protect the hostages to keep thes Although the wings were good for blocking all the bullets, its gigantic size would make his was co from his lis out

“Elian-ge, hang in there”
