Yubiri dragged the man out of the alleyway into the street. Many started to crowd around them but lady Hiliana made sure to protect the children carefully in her embrace.
âWhat is going on?â she whispered, with a slight wrinkle on her forehead.
âThis man tried to hurt Feng,â Yubiri growled and kicked him again. Fearing that he might be a too violent, he held back his punches. He gripped the man by his collar and lifted him up over his head. âTell me, why did you follow us creepily.â
The man softly panted. His wheezing breath along with blood splattered on Yubiriâs face, but he was least bothered.
âTell me!!!â
âRulia... Rulia, help me,â the man desperately cried looking towards Feng.
Feng on the other hand hid behind lady Hiliana.
.....
In bright light the weird man did not look that fearsome, but the pain from her previous spawn still lingered. She slightly caressed her smooth forehead. âWhat is wrong with this body? I am not that traumatised by him but....â she glanced at her shivering hands. âI canât stop the shivers.â
The old man wiggled around in Yubiriâs hold. âRulia!! Are you just going to watch, huh? Is this how I raised you for ten years!!!!â he shouted, pointing towards her.
âDonât point at her!â Yubiri gripped his offensive fingers and broke his finger. A small snap was heard followed by the manâs pig like cried.
Fengâs heart started to pound loudly. âFuck, does this guy know me? Who is he? ....â she moved behind Hiliana and gripped her skirt tightly.
The twins next to her, on the other hand silently supported her from both sides.
{âHey isnât Rulia this girlâs real name?â} Aiden softly sent his doubtful thought.
{âit is? It looks like this pig of a man knew this girl before Feng came into this world.â} Ethan tightly gripped his hand into a fist. {âWe have to deal with this somehow,â}
âOld lady, lets go back. This is too much for little girls to watch,â Ethan suggested, softly gesturing too little Elle, but the little girl was curiously looking at Yubiri as he was punching the man. Clicking his tongue, he then tugged at the ladyâs skirt again. âHe is scaring Feng,â
This snapped the old lady out of her dazed state. She softly hugged and lifted the three of them up. âSir Yu, I shall take the kids. Please make sure he is surrendered to the authorities.â
âyes lady Hiliana,â the young mage nodded. He threw the man down with a disgusted look and he wiped his hands clean.
The wounded man sat up with difficulty. âRULIA!! ARE YOU GONNA IGNORE FATHER LIKE THIS!!!!â he screamed, and glared at Fengâs direction.
Lady Hiliana paused immediately. ââwhat did you say?â
âYou heard me, right? She is my child,â
Fengâs eyes went wide. âOh lord, what drama is this?!!!â she hide her face in the ladyâs shoulders. âIâm gonna act like I didnât hear that,â
âBITCH!! Did you not hear me! Get back here to father!!â
Feng slightly peaked out. The manâs glaring eyes made her shiver uncomfortably. âDonât tell me..... is this my bodyâs memory?! Did this guy abuse me as a child? What more can I expect form a person who sold his child to the salvers,â
Fengâs eyes chilled a bit.
Lady Hiliana patted her back gently. âSir Yu, we shall talk later. Please make sure to handle it well.â her upturned eyes glared at the ugly man squirming on the ground.
âYou bitch. I raised you for ten years. Is this how you repay me, huh? Look at you all dressed up in glamour and glitter....,â
âShut up!!!!!â Yubiri slapped his yapping mouth. He kept beating him until the man lost consciousness again.
âI-I... bet you sold yourself to these men. How many though?â the man manically laughed with blood dripping down his mouth.
Lady Hilianaâs pupils went red. âAlvin drags this man to the guards. I fear any movement I might just crush him.â
Yubiri refused to let go of him.
âSire Yu, please let go.â Alvin pulled at the manâs arms.
âHe tarnished her name, yet you want me to spare him!!!!â Yubiri snapped. His white hair suddenly grew longer past his knees and his eyes completely turned red. âOnly death is allowed for anyone who tarnishes her name.â
He punched the manâs smiling face in a blind rage.
In his past life he did not take good care of her, partially due to his mother and partially due to his denial. By the time he accepted his feelings for her, she had already gone far.
This life he wished to pay back for all he had done.
This life he wanted for her to live without losing her precious gummy smile.
âFor that you have to die!!â his hands glowed white and a huge lighting bold fell down from earth.
âWait!!â Feng cried loudly. âWait, a minute.. Please,â
Yubiri stopped instantly. He wiped his hands clean and looked at her with a small smile âsorry I showed my despicable self before you, but Feng, this man deserves to be punished.â
âYou canât!!â she cried suddenly.
âBut why not.....â Yubiri frowned.
Feng just bit her nails and shook her head. âHow the hell can I explain that I got a system notice, huh!!!â
Her sight was completely red. Multiple huge warning notifications that is only visible to her floating in front.
[âWarning, warning, side character untimely death....
Health depletion below 0, power depletion below 0....
Second countdown before detonation.....
Ten...]
The moment Yubiri mentioned killing this man, the system gave her detonation warning. That would only mean that this character was important and canât die right now.
Fine layer of sweat dripped down her forehead. âHe....he is my father.â She whispered griping tightly onto lady Hilianaâs shoulders. âSo please donât kill him....â
[eight.... seven....]
Seconds counted away swiftly.
[Five.... four...]
âHe is wrong to talk about me such but.... please donât kill him. If you want, you can just throw him in jail,â she cried desperately.
[Three.... two....]
Feng closed her eyes tightly. âNo, no, donât wish to die here. I donât want to die ah!!!â
[One....]
Yubiri finally let go of him with a loud sigh. âAs you wish,â
