Chapter 101 Baffling
But now that the enemy was targeting Fan Xiaoyu to threaten him, he truly found himself in a passive position. The time it took for him to turn around and throw himself over Fan Xiaoyu was more than enough for the opponent to kill her.
Fan Xiaoyu's face turned pale; this person was actually not a beggar but a killer, and now she was in the crosshairs of a sniper!!
She was so scared that her body started to tremble slightly, feeling as if the Grim Reaper had already placed the scythe on her neck.
Liu Wentian was highly skilled; could he save her?? Or rather, would he save her??
Thinking this, a mirthless, mocking smile appeared on Fan Xiaoyu's face.
No, he wouldn't save her. If he disregarded her, perhaps he still had a chance to survive. There was no reason for him to give up the possibility of living just for her.
Although Liu Wentian was a decent person, after all, they hadn't known each other for long, and the nature of men was always the same—selfish at the core—just like her scumbag brother-in-law and that boyfriend who had wanted to send her to his boss!!
If she died, then so be it; there wasn't much meaning to this world anyway, full of heartless people. But if she died, what would happen to Keko and Mengmeng, and her parents back home??
A desolate, bitter smile came across Fan Xiaoyu's face. She never imagined she would die in such an absurd way.
The beggar took a small knife from the bottom of his broken bowl and threw it at Liu Wentian's feet, laughing as if a cat were playing with a mouse, "Kid, if you don't want this woman to die, then stab yourself in the leg a few times first!!"
Liu Wentian's face changed, and he tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "What, you're that afraid of me? You have to see me crippled before you dare to come over and kill me??"
"Shut up!! I can see you're a sly one. Better safe than sorry, you understand jack shit. Hurry up, or I'll kill your woman!!" the beggar snarled.
Liu Wentian felt helpless. Even with all his abilities, he was unable to use them at the moment. Hard to believe, but was he really going to die here?
Liu Wentian crouched down to pick up the knife and said indifferently, "I can do as you said. Let her go first. With a sniper within 10 meters, I'm not an Immortal; it would be extremely easy to kill me." Your journey continues at empire
"Liu Wentian, you..."
Fan Xiaoyu's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Liu Wentian, and then her tears couldn't help but flow.
She had thought that Liu Wentian would never harm himself for her, convinced that when pushed to the extreme, he too would show his selfish side. But Liu Wentian didn't; he was nothing like what she had imagined!!
He was actually willing to stab himself for her!!
A flood of emotions overwhelmed Fan Xiaoyu, and she was also deeply ashamed; she had compared Liu Wentian with that scumbag brother-in-law and her boyfriend, which was truly an insult to Liu Wentian!!
A strange thought suddenly entered her mind—if only Liu Wentian were her boyfriend, how wonderful that would be.
And in that moment, facing death, she suddenly didn't seem so scared anymore.
"Liu Wentian, run, don't do anything stupid, don't worry about me, just run!!" Fan Xiaoyu cried out in agitation.
But Liu Wentian remained unmoved, just coldly staring at the beggar.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Oh, what a touching pair of doomed lovers; so moving even in the face of death," the beggar said somewhat jealously. He had been with many women, but they were all insincere; none would face death for him willingly.
"But do you take me for a fool? Why should I negotiate with you? What gives you the right to bargain with me? Keep babbling, and I'll just have someone shoot. If you don't want this woman's head to burst open, then get moving!!"
"Don't you dare, I'll do it," Liu Wentian said resignedly.
He was truly cautious.
Picking up the small knife from the ground, he plunged it directly into his thigh, burying the entire blade, and in an instant, bright red blood gushed out, staining his pants and running down his leg.
Liu Wentian merely furrowed his brow, then his face returned to expressionless—as if it wasn't his leg being stabbed, but someone else's.
"No! Liu Wentian, stop! I'm not anyone to you, stop it, I'm not worth this! Mengmengmeng... stop!" Fan Xiaoyu cried out in tears.
"Humph! You really are tough, now let's stab the other leg!" The beggar sneered while inwardly being shocked at Liu Wentian's endurance, thinking this guy seemed even more like a cold-blooded killer than himself!
Liu Wentian pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into his other thigh, blood gushing out recklessly. In an instant, his pants were soaked with blood, turning a crimson red.
Finally, Liu Wentian could no longer stand steadily and plopped down on the ground, unable to get up.
"Liu Wentian!"
In that moment, Fan Xiaoyu completely forgot about the sniper aiming at her. Her eyes only saw Liu Wentian's blood-red and slightly trembling legs as she ran crazily toward him and pulled him into her arms.
"Why are you so foolish? We have no special relationship, why do you have to do this for me? Now, I'd rather you were just a bad guy, don't be the good guy anymore! Mengmengmeng…" Fan Xiaoyu broke down in tears.
The beggar was startled by Fan Xiaoyu's actions, "Damn it, crazy woman, aren't you afraid of dying, still daring to move around?? Really thought we wouldn't kill you?"
After finishing his words, he looked towards a dark corner to his back left and said, "Barrett, what's going on? Why didn't you shoot this woman just now?"
From the dark corner, a voice with a foreign accent responded, "Haha, why the panic? This kid is as good as dead. Such a top-grade Huaxia beauty, I've not had the pleasure yet."
The beggar looked over Fan Xiaoyu's face and figure, his eyes revealing greed, then followed with a laugh, "That's true, tonight we'll have our fun."
With that, he walked towards Liu Wentian.
"Don't come any closer, I won't let you hurt him!" Fan Xiaoyu roared, looking like a lioness protecting her cub.
"That's not up to you. Just stay well-behaved, and if you amuse us well tonight, maybe we'll be pleased and not kill you, might even take you abroad with us," the beggar said with a chuckle.
"You wish, in your dreams!" Fan Xiaoyu shouted angrily.
The beggar didn't bother with her and crouched about a meter in front of Liu Wentian, looking at him with a sneer, "Didn't you say that even if I had a gun, I wouldn't get the chance to shoot? Now I will show you!"
As he finished speaking, his hand moved towards his chest.
Suddenly, Liu Wentian let out a cold laugh, "Even now, you still don't have the chance to shoot!"
Hearing Liu Wentian's words, the beggar's face changed, and he sped up his movements, but it was still too late.
"Ah!"
Before he could draw the gun, he was already covering his face and screaming in agony.
"Ah!"
At the same time, from the dark corner to the back left, another scream could be heard.
The beggar's face was pierced with dozens of Silver Needles, including in his eyes—he was clearly blinded!
The person in the corner was in the same situation; the moment he had spoken, he had completely exposed his position. Since a sniper would hardly move when aiming, it gave Liu Wentian the opportunity to strike.
Liu Wentian didn't give him the time to speak, and lunged at him straight away.
What do you think?
