Many people wonder why villains holding hostages are often killed without killing the hostages in the end?
Generally, there are two possibilities. The first is that the protagonist is too fast, and the villain doesn't have enough time to act. As for the second...
"Bastard!!"
Shira fiercely pushed Leone in his arms forward and then turned around and ran. Although he could kill the woman in his hands to vent his anger, for him, it was more cost-effective to push her out as a human shield. After all, compared to this slave, even a single hair on his body was more important than her!
And Zhu Tian was relieved. After all, it would be troublesome if Shira stayed and wasn't afraid of death. Although he was not unconfident about fighting Esdeath, protecting someone and fighting alone were very different.
After seeing Shira escape, he didn't hesitate and rushed towards the tip of Esdeath's sword. It looked like he was seeking death, but just as the tip of Esdeath's sword was about to stab him, his neck dodged Esdeath's long sword at an incredible angle.
And a ferocious smile appeared on Zhu Tian's face.
"Let me free you!"
His right hand went around the hilt of the sword and pointed directly at Esdeath's throat. If this attack had landed, Esdeath's throat would probably have been instantly pierced, but the premise was that it hit...
"Bang~!"
Accompanied by a huge impact sound, Zhu Tian was kicked away by Esdeath. Esdeath, on the other hand, withdrew her leg and touched the side of her neck with her hand. A finger-thick bloodstain there was extremely obvious.
Looking at the bloodstain on her fingertip, a bloodthirsty smile flashed across Esdeath's face.
"Not bad! Very good!! The man isn't back yet, so you can warm me up!!"
On the other side, Zhu Tian, who had used 'Ukemi' to neutralize some of the force, had an extremely ugly expression. Of course, this didn't mean he was seriously injured.
He had neutralized some of the force when he was hit, and he had also neutralized some of the force when he was attacked in the abdomen. He looked a bit miserable, but in reality, he was not seriously injured. This was also the reason why Esdeath didn't choose to pursue. After all, she was famous for not giving up and would seize the opportunity to launch a series of attacks. The way he acted just now was more of a 'trap'.
Damn it! Bitch!! Die for me!!
Shira, who was running frantically, was thinking about how to get out of this damn alley. When that woman stabbed him just now, he really felt that death was approaching him. Everything was that woman's fault!
Fear twisted his heart, and at the same time as his anger, it was filled with resentment. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to go home and have his dad send people to capture that woman! And then turn her into his R B Q!!
"Bang!!"
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. Shira, who had just bumped into Leone in the alley, bumped into a person with too much force.
"That bastard! Get out of my way! Or I'll kill you!!"
He was usually arrogant, but at this time, because of panic and fear, he was speaking without thinking. He even forgot that even in his panic, his full-speed run was not something an ordinary person could withstand, let alone that he was bounced back, while the other person had no reaction at all.
"Oh? Kill me?"
Lancer, wearing a full Imperial Guard armor, looked at the white-haired man in front of him with a mocking expression.
After returning to the imperial palace, Lancer and his team were given a short leave. After all, many things had happened in the past month, and most people were exhausted. There was no other way before, but now it was natural to let them rest and recover. But what kind of way to relax? Where else besides the pleasure quarter?
But Lancer was not in the mood, and he was a bit disgusted with that place, so he simply went home. But when he got close to home, he heard the sound of a fight, and then he subconsciously quickened his pace. He then saw a person directly bump into him. Of course, with Lancer strength, he could have dodged, but seeing the other person constantly looking behind him, he felt a bit strange.
'Is this guy involved in that fight?'
With this thought, Lancer directly stopped the other party's words. But what he didn't expect was that the other party was so arrogant?
Shira felt that he must not have looked at the almanac before leaving home today.
He originally thought he was going to have a romantic encounter, but he didn't expect to meet a crazy woman just as he was about to succeed for some reason. After finally escaping, he ran into a man who was like an iron tower.
Shira, who was dragged back from a distance like a dead dog, looked at the man and woman with resentment on his face. He swore that as long as he survived, he would definitely get revenge on these two guys!!
Lancer didn't know what the guy he was dragging on the ground by his collar was thinking. Of course, he wouldn't care if the other party was feeling uncomfortable being dragged by him. The further he walked, the uglier his expression became, because he found that the fight might have happened near his house.
Of course, he wasn't worried about the house. It was a public house anyway, so if it was damaged, it was damaged. He was worried about Leone safety.
And when he really arrived at his back door, he saw a cracked wall, a muscular man covered in blood, and Esdeath with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.
"Hehe~ The main character has arrived, you're dead for sure."
And at the same time as Lancer saw the battlefield, Esdeath, who was on the battlefield, also saw Lancer. She habitually mocked the opponent, but Zhu Tian on the other side frowned. He thought it was the opponent's 'plan' to distract him, but before he could speak, the killing intent from behind him made his hair stand on end!
"Bang!!!"
He felt that the bones in his hands, which he had crossed to block behind him, were almost cracked, but that wasn't the key, because he saw that the person the other party was holding was 'Shira'!
He still had the strength to fight, but out of concern for Shira's safety, Zhu Tian had no choice but to change his previous wild fighting style and put up his fists in a defensive stance.
On the other side, Lancer didn't know what was going on, but he could be sure that the person he was holding was related to the man in the martial arts uniform. To verify his thoughts, he held up Shira, who was originally dragging behind him. At this moment, he could clearly see that the man's pupils had shrunk.
The person in his hands was definitely not simple, otherwise, the other party would never act like this, which means————————
"Who are you people?"
"I am a bodyguard for Mr. Honest's son. I think it would be better for you to let go of Young Master Shira..."
Although threatening someone... or using power to pressure someone made Zhu Tian feel that he had no dignity, he at least didn't forget his 'job'. But even so, he never thought that his words would be effective, but...
"Honest?"
Lancer, who was holding Shira's clothes, suddenly had a flicker in his eyes.
