By the city gate, Nan asked about the price then went to find Wen Shu. Finding nothing at the cabin, he hurriedly followed the scent towards the alley.
As he neared, he heard the sound of punches and kicks, followed by the weak voice of a female begging for mercy!
His face turned pale, his heart leapt into his throat, and without thinking, he rushed in, "Stop! You guys..."
Seeing the scene before him, Nan's actions froze, and he stood dumbfounded, "Ashu?"
In the secluded alley, five or six males lay weakly on the cobblestone road, their faces bruised and swollen like pig's heads.
There were also two females, huddled together in a dark corner, trembling in fear, "Y-you, don't come over!"
And the figure he worried for stood upright in place like a god of death, blocking the exit for the females.
Hearing Nan's voice, her face covered with frost had not yet faded, and her gaze lightly swept towards the alley's entrance.
