Chapter 33: Let Me Protect You (I)

TL : Snowy Codex

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shang Ke peeked outside through the small crack between the supply boxes. There were six to seven figures not too far from them, gradually approaching in their search. The surroundings were filled with junk of varying sizes. There were empty boxes, discarded parts, and some disorderly trash.

Although the light was a bit murky at the moment, they would be spotted immediately if they ran out from behind the pile of junk. However, even if they continued to hide, they likely would still be unable to escape the fate of being caught.

Shang Ke needed to make sure that Feng Juan and him would not be caught before the police arrived. Otherwise, that group of people would be completely unmerciful. Although he knew martial arts, he had the body of a child. With his current height, power, speed, and so on, he was unable to contend with an adult. The only strength he could count on was his flexibility.

Watching the people coming closer and closer, Shang Ke whispered to the child in his arms, "Stay here and don't move. I'll draw those people away."

Feng Juan grasped Shang Ke's hand tightly. Even though he did not speak a single word, it was quite clear that he was refusing.

Shang Ke twisted his hand and easily broke free from Feng Juan's hold, repeating himself, "Stay here and don't move!" Then, he bent over and squeezed out of the box to go to the other side and hide. Halfway through, he "very uncarefully" kicked a bottle.

"Over there! Get him!" A deep voice shouted, followed by the sounds of footsteps.

Shang Ke didn't even look back, and just used his ears to make out the situation behind him.

One, two, three... there was a total of five people chasing him.

Five? Shang Ke's heart sank. There were seven people searching for them, so if only five of them were following him, then the remaining two... Shang Ke glanced back, and as expected, there were two hovering around the area Feng Juan that was hiding in.

Not good!

Shang Ke took a sharp turn and dodged a man who threw himself at him. He sprinted through the messy junk like a wildcat.

"There's another one here," A man said as he crudely picked Feng Juan up.

Feng Juan struggled nonstop, a small beast-like growl pouring from his throat.

"Damn it, this group of kids are so troublesome," Another man said as he raised the rod in his hand, striking down at Feng Juan's head.

Feng Juan's eyes were wide with fear and despair, along with a faint trace of unwillingness toward his fate.

Right at this moment of crisis, a small figure suddenly dashed out and smashed against the man with all his might, causing the man to stagger from the impact.

After Shang Ke landed, he did not pause before leaping powerfully, aiming straight at the wrist of the man who was holding Feng Juan.

The man released his grip in pain.

Feng Juan fell to the ground, and was seized and pulled up before he could come to his senses. Shang Ke dragged him, evading the traffickers as he ran for the exit.

Feng Juan's arm was almost pulled out of its socket as he followed in Shang Ke's crude escape. However, the valiant figure of the small person in front of him left a deep impression in his heart.
