The intruders enjoyed the freedom to destroy anything. They laughed and joked while they threw, smashed, crushed, and ripped with blades everything that looked expensive, destroying room by room. They had split up into groups of two or three with the occasional single wanderer like the one locked up in the cupboard in the sitting room where Yunlan was relaxing.
A group of three thugs entered, and immediately saw an older man lying on the recliner at the huge fireplace and decided that he wasn't a threat to them. Firstly, any one older in years to them, was considered old, secondly, he was blind. Definitely a pushover and thirdly, he wasn't the owner, so they could have fun tormenting him but not killing him. They split up and stood at different points in the room and smashed an item each in turn to confuse Yunlan, as much as possible with the noise emanating from different areas.
Yunlan didn't need his eyes to tell him where they were, just as he didn't need to move to stop them. He lowered his right hand to the floor, and released the whip which quietly slithered towards the nearest thug and wrapped itself around his legs, knocking him off balance and he hit the floor with a thud, knocking himself out and was dragged like a side of beef, and left secured to a radiator temporarily. The other two froze when they saw number three drop and glanced at Yunlan who hadn't moved an inch. They panicked, frantically looking around to find out what kind of threat had attacked him, but there was no one else in the room and they split up to silently search in opposite directions.
This was more beneficial for Yunlan as he tapped the floor lightly calling the whip to return while listening to the steps of each of the young thugs. One of them was drawing nearer to him but still didn't recognise him as a potential threat because he looked as if he was sleeping. He searched the surroundings of Yunlan's area, while turning his back to him and never saw the whip sliding towards the fire. Under Yunlan's control, it gripped the cool handle of the hot blade while it's owner stood behind the youth and tapped his shoulder.
The young thug turned quickly ready to defend himself but was met at eye level with the tip of the red hot blade on the end of a whip, held by a supposedly blind man. Yunlan asked him nicely,
"Please walk backwards to the hallway, I can guide you with the hot knife, and don't even think about any sudden moves, my whip is fast and accurate, you would be dead before you hit the floor, like your missing friend."
The intruders were here because of the money, and were able to have fun without facing the consequences, so being threatened with death was not part of the deal. The blade seemed to be floating at the end of the whip and the terrified thug didn't want to know how, he just wanted to survive intact without free cosmetic surgery and obeyed as he was led to the basement door which Gelan operated, and sealed him downstairs.
Yunlan put out his left hand for the knife, which was carefully placed and released before the whip returned to its position on his right arm. He made his way over to the unconscious one tied to the radiator and slapped him a couple of times to awaken him before guiding him with the hot knife to the same place as the other one and he was locked in. Only the third one left in this part of the house and at present he was searching the kitchen, long forgotten about damaging the contents, survival was more important.
