4 Surrounded 2 (1/2)
The man immediately put her down and helped her to stand up straight. Xia Lian felt the world spin due to the sudden movement. It took some time for her to get her head straight.
”Stay behind me”. The man stood in front of her and pulled out a sword from his waist. He clearly noticed that the girl cannot defend herself, so he took it upon himself to protect her. Xia Lian was really surprised as she did not expect that he would shield her, despite the tough situation.
'How can a he take down twenty men? He is not a superman..' Xia Lian frowned sub-consciously and moved to stand beside him in spite of her heavy injuries. Her conscience would not allow her to take refugee behind a man who is outnumbered by his enemies.
At that moment about twenty men in black robes surrounded them. All of them black masks covering their faces but their eyes had a killing intent which made Xia Lian angry. She was truly disappointed that the father of this body would to go such lengths to dispose them off. Her disappointment soon turned into resentment.
” Hand over the kids to us and scram..” one of the men in black spoke in a terrifyingly cold voice with his gaze directed at the veiled man.
” Are these the men who played hide and seek with you?” the man did not pay any attention to the shouting clown before him and instead looked at the girl who was calmly assessing the situation before her.
” Yes.. I think they are bored and now I don't mind playing with them” Xia Lian smirked coolly as she felt herself itching to tear these guys off into shreds. May be then her father would think twice before plotting against her in future. She was seriously considering this thought.
On seeing these two ignoring them and chatting freely the man who spoke high and mighty earlierfelt as if he was the third wheel there. Needless to say, he was obviously angered by their attitude. He tried to be polite with the veiled man, but it seems that he doesn't know what is good for him. So, he was ready to teach a lesson to him and kill the girl and the kid before his eyes so that he will realise what his mistake was.
” Humph.. you can't even distinguish good from bad. We are here under the orders of prime minister Xia. Don't go against those in power or your whole family will be executed. I'm giving you a last chance, leave them to us and get lost.” the man in the black robes felt that this would pose as an enough threat and he was sure that the veiled man would now be scared witless. He was even imagining the man begging him for mercy.
” If you continue to act tough, don't blame us for being ruthless.” he gave of a final warning and crossed his arms against his chest with an air of arrogance around him.
The man under the veil was surprised upon hearing that name. This little girl said that her father's guards are after her..
So, that prime minister Xia is ruthless even towards his own children. His lips formed into a sneer. This prime minister Xia is truly disgusting!
” I don't care who sent you.”
”A small advice.. leave right now!”
” Believe me or not.. If you stay here I will kill you without mercy..” The man with the veil spoke coldly with a domineering voice. All the men surrounding them felt an invisible and heavy pressure on them and they felt too suffocated to even breathe.
