Chapter 24 – Bronze Hammers

Doubtlessly, the little girl was Autumn.

Everyday, after school, Autumn would run to the port and meet with her grandpa. Usually, she’d receive some pocket money from him to buy some candy. Afterwards, the bells attached to her bracelet would ring rhythmically, as they’d walk back home together. This was probably the most cheerful moment of her day.

Now, this supposed simple happiness was destroyed by violence and cruelty. What a tragedy in this mortal world.

“Ah, a little girl!” The man in black clothing said, as he quickly grabbed Autumn by her collar.

“Old man, let us see how unyielding you really are.” He threw Autumn high up in the air.

“Autumn, watch out!” Elder Mu exclaimed helplessly.

Suddenly, at the moment when Autumn was about to hit the ground, the man in black clothing swiftly caught her. Actually, he didn’t intend to actually kill this little girl, instead, he was simply using her as bait, in an attempt to make Elder Mu surrender.

“Listen, old bastard. If you don’t kowtow to me, I’m not sure I will catch her next time.” He pressured Elder Mu to capitulate.

Elder Mu barely managed to steadily stand up.

“No, Grandpa, no…I hate these guys…” Autumn screamed.

“Shut up, Autumn. Grandpa is ok!” Elder Mu was afraid if Autumn said something that offended the man in black clothing, it would be disastrous for the both of them.

“Don’t waste my time! Are you Kowtowing or not?” The man in black clothing urged viciously. In order to make Elder Mu kowtow to him, he even threw Autumn up in the air for a second time.

Finally, Elder Mu wiggly kneeled down, in the hope to save the life of his beloved granddaughter.

The man in black clothing laughed out sardonically, he was a pervert who could only find happiness in others’ sufferings.

As he was rejoicing his power, he had forgotten about the falling Autumn. However, at this moment a man with an unshaven beard appeared in front of him, catching Autumn in his arms. This man was no other than Xu Yi!

Xu Yi then walked towards Elder Mu, lifted him up and brought out a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains off his face.

“It’s my fault. Elder Mu, I should have come earlier.” Xu Yi blamed himself for being late.

Elder Mu was suffering from a fit of intense coughing, he wished to say something to Xu Yi, but the coughing stopped him. Xu Yi immediately patted the back of Elder Mu, in the hope to get the air to flow smoothly in his lungs again.

Autumn put her arm around Xu Yi’s neck, crying: “Uncle Xu, please take us out of here!”

...

Xu Yi was a man with hyper-sensitivity. Several minutes ago, Xu Yi was on the way to the port, when he heard the bitter sobbing of Autumn, he had immediately rushed towards the scene. As he was still several hundreds of meters away, he could already sense what was happening at the port.
