239 Attacked (1/2)
That morning, Jiang Fei left the game. After having breakfast, Jiang Fei began his journey to school once again.
Although Jiang Fei had only taken a few days off, everything he experienced in the past few days made him feel like a year had passed. Those few days had been far more eventful compared to the past decade of his life!
When he thought about his conversation with Shroder the day before, he started looking at passing pedestrians differently. Jiang Fei felt like he was traveling back and forth between two completely different worlds. The world of an average person was so ordinary; stagnant like dead water. The world of a Metahuman was beautiful and colorful, but this excitement was matched by the danger of facing death at any moment. Although Jiang Fei was eager to enter the world of the Metahumans, fear gave his heart some pause.
As he took halting steps through the Metahumans' doorstep, little was he aware that his life was already inevitably entangled with Metahumans the moment he had picked the mysterious ring up. Even if he tried his best to avoid it, the peaceful life of an ordinary person had long abandoned him!
After he arrived at school, Jiang Fei did not find many people surprised, despite having been absent from school for a few days. Only Sun Mengmeng complained to him a little, saying that he was not taking his studies seriously. Everyone had even accepted his lengthy periods of absence as a norm for him, let alone taking leave from school!
After a dreary day of classes, Jiang Fei began his journey home.
”Hmm?”
On a relatively quiet road, Jiang Fei stopped and frowned slightly. Having trained consistently for quite a while now, Jiang Fei had honed his senses by a fair bit. This person that was following him was not as strong as Nekoda, his would-be assassin from back then.
Just as Jiang Fei stopped walking, the person attacked!
*Woosh* He felt some wind, but no sound of a sharp weapon could be heard. Without even turning back, Jiang Fei could already tell that the person was attacking him unarmed!
*Snap*
Jiang Fei suddenly turned around. He was not the ignorant teenager that almost lost his life to Nekoda. Jiang Fei instantly moved and grabbed hold of the person's wrist.
”Ah!” Jiang Fei only used a little force, but the person was already screaming.
”Ah?” Jiang Fei was shocked. At that moment, he realized that the person who attacked him was actually a girl!
The girl in front of Jiang Fei was dressed in black, and she had a delicate-looking figure. Her face was covered with a black scarf, and her hair had been done up into a long ponytail. At that moment, her face was cringing in pain. She tried to break away from Jiang Fei's grip but failed to do so.
Although Jiang Fei was not wearing the Bloodthirsty Divine Gloves, a girl was absolutely no match for him. His big hands were like a pair of steel tongs, firmly grasping the girl's wrist. She could not break free at all.
”Let me go!” The girl shouted, dissatisfied.
”Who are you? Why did you want to attack me?” Jiang Fei asked.
”None of your business! Let me go now, or else!” The girl yelled as she struggled.
”Hoho, I want to see who you are!” Jiang Fei sneered. Then, as he grabbed the girl's wrists with his left hand, he used his right hand to tear off the girl's black scarf.
*Swoosh*
The black scarf was ripped off, revealing a delicate face. The girl was not old, she looked to be about the same age as Jiang Fei. The worst part was, Jiang Fei had absolutely no recollection of that face!
”Do you know me?” Jiang Fei asked, confused.
”I don't!” The girl shook her head.
