Guild Boss's Ambition

I was thrown heavily to the ground, and my pelvis hit the floor so hard that I almost burst into tears.

Then, my sight was covered by a huge black shadow. It was one of the kidnappers. He raised his hand and slapped me on the cheek with such force that one of my molars and deciduous teeth left my gums prematurely. I was stunned all of a sudden, and the thought of resisting was instantly cooled.

Seeing that I, who was traveling with her, was caught, Lian'er in front of me suddenly stopped moving.

I didn't tell her to run as planned.

Maybe because of fear, I hope someone can stay with me.

I had always been alone before, but at this moment I suddenly felt afraid of loneliness.

That's ironic.

A thirteen-year-old mute girl confronted two masked strong men.

Seeing this, the bow-wielding man who slapped me laughed out loud: "Very good, you will behave if you don't run away. When we get the money, we will naturally let you go back. Remember, don't play tricks on me. If any of you try to sneak away next time, I will kill the one next to you, understand? If you don't want to kill your good friend, then cooperate with me obediently."

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

Extremely strangely, a female voice that did not belong to me or Lian'er suddenly appeared between us.

The bow-wielding criminal cooperated with me and asked my question: "Who is it? Come out!"

As the criminals scolded, an elderly peasant woman carrying a basket of vegetables slowly walked out from the side of the forest. Her eyesight seemed to be not very good, and her eyes narrowed into a thin slit when she looked at things: "Excuse me, what happened? I suddenly heard a loud noise, oh my, was there a traffic accident? Little boy, are you hurt?"

Just like that, the old peasant woman walked straight past the three gangsters present, came to my side and offered her hand to help me up. Seeing this, the gangster with the bow lost his patience, and with a murderous look in his eyes, he raised his leg and kicked the old woman's waist and back, with no intention of showing mercy.

After a while, my eyes blurred.

The old peasant woman suddenly disappeared from my sight, as if she was clinging to the back of the bow-wielding gangster like a spider.

Hey.

A cold and short laugh came from the old peasant woman's mouth, and then we heard the man's painful howl again.

"Monster...monster!" someone shouted.

I don't know the strength of the three gangsters present, but in terms of the degree of terror, the old peasant woman with two rows of sharp teeth is definitely far superior to the kidnapper. After the carotid artery was bitten through by the old peasant woman's teeth, the strong man with the bow did not die immediately, and the old peasant woman did not end his life. She just watched the scene of the flying blood with interest.

"There are still two left. If I wasn't worried about arousing other people's associations, I would really like to eat them."

"It's a tricky idea, let's go!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two gangsters also began to retreat.

Of course, in the face of a monster like this, it’s not just the bad guys who are in danger.

Lian'er on the other side was not stupid. As soon as she saw the situation changed, she slipped to my side in a low-key manner and began to urge me to get up and run away. With her encouragement, my spirits lifted a little. Without thinking twice, I immediately took Lian'er's little hand and ran towards the carriage.

"Oh no! Those little girls are trying to steal our carriage! Forget it, just give it to them."

Seeing what Lian'er and I did, the two gangsters wanted to stop us, but under the restraint of the old monster, they had to temporarily give up our side and fled towards the woods.

Don't chase me! Don't chase me!

Don't chase me! Don't chase me!

Don't chase me! Don't chase me!

I prayed as I ran towards the carriage, and after successfully getting on the carriage, I looked back and was surprised to see a meaningful smile on the old woman's face. The smile was directed at no one else but me and Lian'er, two children. With the speed at which the monster climbed onto the man's back just now, it might even be able to outrun the carriage.

Please──

Don't chase me, okay?

It was as if an unknown god in the sky heard my pious prayers. The old monster smiled and turned around to chase into the forest where the two thieves disappeared. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I quickly whipped the horsewhip and used the skills I learned from working part-time for many years to drive the horse, intending to leave the scene with Lian'er in the carriage.

"Where are you going?"

But I didn't wait to be happy for too long, because a voice from behind scared me so much that my hair stood on end.

This time it’s yes, yes, yes…who is it!

I turned my head to look at the source of the sound, and saw Lian'er excitedly hugging a black-haired woman.

Who is she?

"Haha, does seeing me make you so happy? Well, give the ring back to me."

After a brief hug, the strange black-haired woman slowly took off a bone ornament from Lian'er's hand, then put it back on her own hand. She smiled at me and said, "Sorry, I'm a little late. Although I took precautions for Lian'er, I didn't expect you to be implicated. Well, someone has already helped you out, so it's not my turn to help."

As he finished speaking, the entire carriage suddenly floated into the air, turned 180 degrees, and then landed again.

The two frightened horses ran even harder.

Still in shock, I asked timidly, "Who are you?"

The black-haired, blue-eyed woman chuckled and said jokingly, "You're really derelict in your duty as a poster girl, as you make a living in the Stone House but don't know me! My name is Bai Ye, and I'm Lian'er's legal guardian. The stupid dog that often wanders around the Stone House is my pet. To be specific, it doesn't really matter if you don't know me."

what……

Miss Bai Ye? I vaguely heard Lian Er mention her name.

She's an unpleasant woman...

However, judging by Lian'er's reaction, this Miss Bai Ye should be here to rescue us.

With the protection of the adventurers in the stone house, I felt a little more relaxed: "Um, Miss Bai Ye, do you know who those people who kidnapped us are? And what is that terrible monster?"

Miss Bai Ye gently carried Lian'er to her bed and sat her down. She smiled and said, "Scary monster? Are you talking about the old woman who attacked the criminals? She was obviously very cute, why did you insist on calling her scary? Judging from the results alone, she is your savior. If it weren't for her and I hadn't come, you would be in trouble today."

"Um……"

After hearing what Miss Bai Ye said, I was silent and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Miss Bai Ye continued the silence and said, "The person who kidnapped you is probably related to President Ehard. That guy seems to have defeated a gangster in the arena recently. Although we have already reached a consensus with the other party's superiors, it seems that someone under them has acted on his own."

"Dark...gangsters?" I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth.

Miss Bai Ye raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "It's not a serious problem anyway. I will personally take you to school later. I will ask Xiao Ban to pick you up after school. As for the rest, Ehard and I will take care of it. You just need to pretend that nothing happened - the disturbance just now was just a small episode in life."

A little episode in life?

I don't know where you came from, Miss Bai Ye, your standard for assessing danger is really disappointing.

……

……

31. Concern (Lian Er)

(Lian Er)

A thrilling drama unfolded on an ordinary morning.

It was a bit like that day when Sister Bai Ye suddenly broke into my world and killed Sister Ailan who raised me.

However, fortunately, my daily life was not completely disrupted this time. Just as Sister Bai Ye said, this was just a small episode in daily life. What prevented this episode from turning into a disaster was the strength of Sister Bai Ye and the luck of encountering the old peasant woman.

We always need strong strength and a little luck to maintain our daily lives.

I know that I am still powerless at this moment and not worthy of the adults' high hopes, but the moment Taimi was captured by the criminals, I regretted my own powerlessness so much.

If I were strong enough to defeat the enemy──

I made that assumption, and after being rescued, I had another question.

Why do I have to become strong to defeat those bad guys?

I quickly thought of the invincible Sister Bai Ye and the idiot Meng'er. As long as I have their protection, I believe that even if I don't become stronger, I will not encounter any accidents. There is no reason for everyone to become strong to protect themselves. If everyone becomes strong enough to protect themselves, then what is the purpose of the police in this world?

Sister Xiaolan always said, "Lian'er, just do what you want to do."

I spent a class meeting reflecting on this, and finally came to the conclusion that I just had to maintain the status quo.

There is no reason for me to make changes because of a sudden misfortune.

If I change because of this, wouldn't that be a disguised denial of the happy self in the past?

People should not infringe upon other people's freedom. The ones who did wrong are the criminals, not me who is powerless.

During the break, classmate Cui Si came over to me with a worried look on her face and asked me, "Lian'er, you don't look very well. Did something happen?"

Since the school bell had already rung when I arrived at school, I hadn't shared what happened this morning with Trish yet.

However, compared to what happened this morning, Tracy was unusually late this morning.

"What about you? Why didn't you come for the entire class meeting?"

Cui Si was startled, turned her face aside, and answered hesitantly: "That's because... I couldn't sleep in the morning because I stayed up all night reading novels. My parents didn't wake me up. If I hadn't had a very terrible nightmare and woke up, I would probably still be lying in bed now... Gurgling..."

After saying that, Tris looked at my expression cautiously.

I smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I won't make fun of you!"

Hearing this, a trace of smile faded from Cui Si's face, and she responded softly, "You're already making fun of me. By the way, Lian'er, are you really okay? Just now during the Chinese class, you were always in a daze, and even when Teacher Doris spoke to you, you ignored her."

Did Teacher Doris call me too? That's not good.

I glanced at Taimi, who was silently watching me and Trish talking, and wrote a note: "It was just a small incident on the way to school. It's not serious. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Is that so..." Tris bit her lower lip and smiled. "Anyway, I'm glad you're all right. The day after tomorrow is a study day and I don't want you to be absent. Even if we're in different groups, we'll still have many opportunities to meet each other there. I heard the class monitor and the others have prepared many interesting group games."

Did Trish just say you guys? Or did I hear wrong?

"game?!"

Hearing the word "game", Huabi in front of him turned around with a stern look on his face and said, "Group game? Is it the wind blowing game or the chair grabbing game? We traveled a long way to the ranch in the suburbs, are we going to play something as boring as that?"

As Huabi was complaining, Taimi also appeared from behind. She walked slowly to the rabbit boy with a terrifying aura, clenched her left hand into a claw shape, and then violently attacked the boy's lower body.

Caught off guard, Huabi immediately let out a low, painful cry.

Since I always felt something was wrong, I looked away immediately and didn't look again. By the time the screams of pain stopped, Huabi was already lying on my desk with a pale face.

"People who ruin the atmosphere are just uneducated. Your dad asked you to come to school because he wanted you to learn some social skills, right?"

"I... don't... want to be told that by you... who also has no friends..."

The suddenly dead Huabi protested tenaciously, and then his cheek was slapped by Taimi.

Taimi seemed very rough in her performance, but actually she controlled her strength appropriately when she attacked. Mr. Rabbit on the other side was not completely clueless about how to deal with it. Not wanting to be beaten but unwilling to fight back against the woman, he cooperated well and pretended to be dead, admitting defeat early and getting less slaps.

"Huabi and Taimi have a really good relationship."

"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, just like a husband and wife."

"Couple?" "Hahahahaha!!! What are you talking about me and this useless guy?"

Seeing my deliberately joking comment, Huabi made a dumbfounded face, while Taimi screamed in a high pitch.

The next moment, Tris followed my attack and joked, "To put it another way, based on your current interpersonal relationships, aren't you two the most compatible in this class? Taimi will definitely be a virtuous and good wife in the future, and Huabi will be a serious and capable husband."

In order to make the two of them feel more ashamed, I nodded in agreement.

However, alert classmate Mitai cleverly caught the loophole in Tris's language: "Hehehe, that's too shallow. You are right. Huabi is indeed the boy in the class with whom I have the best relationship. But a couple is not necessarily a matter of one man and one woman. In our stone house, combinations of men and women are also very common."

At the end of the story, Taimi licked her lips at me and Tris with a lewd look on her face.

Then, at this time, Huabi also noticed something carefully: "Tai Mi, why is your lip broken? Did someone bully you again? Are there a lot of them?"

Taimi's lips were broken when she was slapped by the bad guy in the morning. Sister Bai Ye probably thought that this minor injury was not a big deal, so she did not treat Taimi. When I thought about this, Sister Bai Ye, who sent us to school, had already hurried away - Sister Bai Ye was always busy, so busy that I rarely saw her taking time out alone.

"It's okay. The skin was broken due to the dry weather." Taimi answered cheerfully when asked about the injury.

"Nonsense, do you think I'm an idiot? This was obviously caused by being beaten." Hua Bi shouted.

Taimi, whose lie was exposed, sighed, spread her hands and said, "Yes, yes, it was indeed caused by a beating, but the matter has been resolved, so Huabi, don't ask so many questions and let it pass naturally, okay?"

"Who did it!"

Unexpectedly, Huabi's thoughts drifted to a distant place: "It's ok that they usually do some boring tricks like applying glue to the key hole of the locker, but this time they are so bold as to unite and attack? Even if I don't understand the ways of the world, I know that they have exceeded the rules of the game in this school! No! We must teach them a lesson!"

After talking to himself indignantly, Huabi, with his bunny ears standing upright, turned around angrily.

Taimi, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, had to quickly grab Huabi's collar and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around. They are not from our school! They are adults. If you go there alone, you will just be asking for trouble."

However, Huabi's fighting maniac thinking is obviously out of line with Taimi's concept: "Who says that the elderly are always stronger than children? Then why not just report your age when you fight?"

To be fair, Huabi's words made sense, but they also completely violated the common sense of the real world. Taimi was also overwhelmed by his rebuttal: "In short, I tell you, the matter has been properly resolved! There is no need for you to worry about it. You! Can't you use your head to think calmly before helping others?"

"My friend is being bullied! And you're asking me to just endure it? That doesn't make sense!"

"I'm not asking you to endure it, but there's no need for that at all!"

"Could it be that the matter has not been resolved at all, and you are just lying to us?"
