Eps. 212 — Flavor of Forgiveness
"Beautiful girl, if that's what you think then I won't blame you." The man smiled broadly.
Yue Lian narrowed her eyes. "What if I say no?"
"You may try it but it will hurt you so as long as I ask you to please hand over the gold bag now."
Yue Lian smiled faintly, "Aren't you guys afraid that I'm reporting this to the government?"
The man laughed mockingly. "Do you think the government will act, they're even afraid of overcoming the abduction I made."
The expression on Yue Lian's face turned alert, she instantly drew her two swords and prepared in a fighting position. "So you've been kidnapping people lately? Where are they now?!"
The man shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, maybe they're still alive and they're definitely not coming back."
Yue Lian grasped her sword even tighter, although she had suspected their group but heard it directly was clearly different.
Yue Lian understood that their group was as dangerous as the robbers she had chased yesterday. Yue Lian wanted to make a move to attack but her attention was on Jian Chen who was still sitting quietly.
"You seem to want to use the violence of a beautiful girl, then I have no choice but to fight you..."
Without waiting any longer the man moved to attack Yue Lian, the one thing that the man did not think of Yue Lian's strength turned out to be above her.
With both of his swords Yue Lian quickly took over the position and made the situation turn around.
Looking at the abilities of Yue Lian who was in the Life Realm, four warriors from the group of men began to stand up and prepare for the fight but only then did they want to move suddenly their body temperature dropped quite drastically.
His fourth movement became a little stiff and difficulty moving, the one man who fought with Yue Lian also felt the same way.
Not just cold, even slowly their skin raises ice flakes. Yue Lian who was fighting was a little confused by the condition of her opponent yet she did not stop attacking.
From his attack Yue Lian he wanted the man taken alive so he attacked to paralyze his movements. At the moment when Yue Lian swung the umpteenth sword there was suddenly the sound of someone shouting.
Yue Lian turned her head and found that the waiter of the restaurant was already sealed by one of them.
"If you don't want him dead drop your gun!" The man holding the servant had already stuck his gun to the servant's neck.
Yue Lian bit her lips, she wanted to find a gap to save the maid but the situation was beyond her reach.
"Still think against! In a matter of ten seconds if you don't let go of your weapons and money, this butler will be detached from the origin!"
"Well I'll obey you, don't hurt him!" Yue Lian threw her two swords on the floor before taking out a bag of money and throwing it at one of them.
The man who had fought with Yue Lian earlier had already taken some distance before turning his head and staring at Jian Chen sharply.
Jian Chen smiled faintly then threw his golden pouch as well.
"We've followed your will, let go of the woman!" Yue Lian shouted furiously.
The group of men snorted, he hit the back of the servant's neck which made him instantly unconscious, not until there he gave an incision wound to the servant's back before they hurried away from the restaurant.
Yue Lian actually wanted to chase after him but seeing the wound on the servant's back made her have to save her life first.
Yue Lian exerted a deep force on the maid to stop the bleeding but the wound on the man was quite deep and large.
"Let me..." Jian Chen was already beside Yue Lian when he spoke then placed his hand on the servant's body.
With his profound strength Jian Chen could heal the servant's wounds in a relatively short time. Yue Lian who looked at him until it was hard to speak, her gaze had now changed to look at Jian Chen.
"Are you really a hunter?" Yue Lian could not help her curiosity.
Jian Chen nodded slowly. "I was a hunter but also learned a little to be a swordsman."
The reason Jian Chen had not acted before was because he had his own plans in dealing with those five people, which he was definitely unwilling to kill in a mid-city restaurant like this.
Yue Lian wanted to ask again but the servant who was on her lap had already woken up while Jian Chen also did not explain any further.
"Where are you going?" Yue Lian asked confusedly as suddenly Jian Chen was about to descend the stairs.
Yue Lian nodded, she could not cancel the order she had already paid.
Jian Chen then went down the stairs before coming out of the restaurant, of course he went down not because of change but wanted to chase the robber earlier. With his swift movements it was not difficult to find them.
***
The five people who stole Jian Chen and Yue Lian's money did not run to the Adventurers Guild's place but to the empty house that was already unused.
From here alone it has been seen those who were kidnapped are placed there.
"What did you guys do to make me wait, huh?!"
The arrival of the five people who stole Jian Chen's money was not welcomed by its leader. Even the leader was visibly angry as well as cursing at his subordinates.
"Sorry Boss, it turns out that the woman has a high skill set so we had a little trouble robbing her of the money." Report that subordinate.
"Basic is useless, taking care of one woman is not so bad!"
His subordinates did not dare to argue and gave the leader two bags of stolen gold.
Their leader's expression changed when he saw the gold coins in the leather pouch. "Good, with this our income can be fulfilled during the eighth few days. Prepare to leave town, we can't stay here."
His twenty subordinates nodded slowly, they understood that there were many people who started to be suspicious of his group so they had to move cities again before they began to kidnap again.
"You guys want to go? Why don't you ask me if I allow it or not?"
While they were laughing with the gold coins, someone's voice came from the roof of the house, and a young man was standing there.
The youngster, Jian Chen, directly descended and landed in their midst.
"Who are you, what's your business here?" The leader of the group exclaimed sharply.
"My business? Of course to take my money you've taken, it's not yours..." Jian Chen chuckled.
Unlike the leader who reacted sharply, the five people who snatched Jian Chen's money reacted differently, they did not feel Jian Chen was in fact tailing him.
"Hmph, I see you have the guts to appear before me, don't blame me for having to take your life!"
"You may try it and I'm sure your life is in return..."
"Bad!"
The leader of the group instantly attacked with his machete weapon, his strength residing in the Earth Realm making each of his attacks so great and powerful but in front of Jian Chen the attacks he exuded meant nothing.
"What how can it be?!"
The leader of the group looked hard to believe his famously agile and sharp machete movements were now avoided easily by Jian Chen
He increased the tempo of his speed but all in vain, nothing hit Jian Chen's body at all.
Jian Chen who kept dodging finally counterattacked, he caught his opponent's machete with both fingers before giving a knee strike to his opponent's stomach making him grimace and fall to his knees.
Jian Chen swung another kick this time making him so bounce off the wall, before his opponent took a breath Jian Chen's body had already disappeared and appeared in front of him, his hand instantly moving quickly and suffocating the leader of the group.
"Detachable... I-i..." The leader of the group thrashed and began to have difficulty breathing as Jian Chen choked him hard.
"You take too many lives, kidnap people and even rob. There's no reason for me to let you live..." Jian Chen shook his head slowly before hardening his chuckle.
Shortly thereafter the sound of broken bones was heard making the leader of the group die instantly.
His subordinates who had been looking since earlier gulped with knees that suddenly felt even more limp, they now looked at Jian Chen with fear.
Before they were about to beg for mercy, Jian Chen suddenly released a dense death aura making them have trouble breathing.
"Don't beg for anything, I'm determined to kill you here..." Jian Chen said slowly but the look in his eyes turned cold.
