"Ah! No, don't! Shengyi, save me..."
The woman shrieked in terror, her instinct urging her to flee.
Instantly, the man slapped her across the face and gripped her neck. "Shut up!"
"Please, save my friend!"
The woman named Shengyi couldn't believe what she was witnessing. She couldn't help but plead with Su Xuan.
Su Xuan rushed forward too, trying to free her captured friend.
"Stay the hell still!"
Seeing their actions, the man sneered and tightened his grip on the hostage's neck. The hostage's face turned pale in an instant, her breathing barely audible.
Shengyi dared not move a step, fearing she might inadvertently provoke the man.
Su Xuan's mind was racing like an explosion. His temples pounded, and his consciousness entered the system's online store.
He was searching for purchasable items!
Waiting for backup was no longer an option. He had to subdue this criminal immediately!
