Chapter 83 - Fight To the Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jun’s finger trembled as he put it under the kidnapper’s nose. What his finger felt was cold and even after a long time, he could not feel a single breath. Liu Jun finally realized that the kidnapper who had been about to kill him was really dead.

However, what Liu Jun felt first was not joy, but fear. He looked at Ding Rong with a pale face, unable to speak properly. “A-Auntie Ding, he’s dead. He is not breathing anymore. What should we do?”

Although Ding Rong was a woman, she was calmer than Liu Jun. However, she did not dare to look at the kidnapper anymore. She pulled Liu Jun to stand up and walked away from the corpse.

“We should be fine now. Those kidnappers won’t be able to hurt us anymore…”

Probably because someone was accompanying him, Liu Jun gradually calmed down. As long as he didn’t look at the kidnapper who had died a strange death, Liu Jun could maintain his composure.

He and Ding Rong found a quieter space, holding onto a shovel and a wooden rod respectively. Their eyes were fixed on the back door of the tailor shop.

At this moment, the back door was tightly sealed by the robotic arm’s three metal limbs. In the courtyard, Liu Jun and Ding Rong’s hearts couldn’t help but tighten every time they heard the sound of something slamming against the door. They held their weapons tightly in case the kidnappers broke out from the tailor shop.

However, the three metal limbs were very firm. No matter how the people in the tailor shop knocked on the door, it didn’t budge at all, giving Liu Jun and Ding Rong a sufficient sense of security.

Liu Jun heaved a sigh of relief and said to Ding Rong, “Auntie Ding, it seems like we don’t have to worry too much. The netizens in my live-stream room should have already called the police. The police will be here soon. As long as those kidnappers can’t come in, we’ll be safe for the time being.”

Ding Rong did not say anything. Liu Jun looked at her in confusion and realized that Ding Rong was looking at the door worriedly.

“Auntie Ding?”

Ding Rong’s face was pale. She pursed her lips and said, “I just heard a voice earlier. That person inside seems to be my daughter…”

“Isn’t your daughter only 18 years old and still in Year Two of high school?” Liu Jun was very surprised. “But I heard the commotion in the tailor shop. That person seems to be an expert and is on par with those few kidnappers.”

If Liu Jun could see the scene in the tailor shop, he would correct his mistake. The current situation in the tailor shop could not be described as evenly matched. The side with the fewer in number had the advantage.

The electricity generated by the baton was not enough to cause casualties, but it could impede the kidnappers’ movements.

Huo Tian’s movements were agile. Although the weapons in her hands were not as sharp as the machetes in the kidnappers’ hands, the kidnappers’ originally vicious actions were slow and messy in Huo Tian’s eyes.

Although she often stayed up late, didn’t have regular meals, and did not do any physical training, Huo Tian’s physique was definitely better than most people in this era. Therefore, she could easily deal with the kidnappers’ attacks.

While dodging the blades that were slashing at her, Huo Tian’s baton mercilessly struck the kidnappers. It just so happened that Huo Tian had been studying the human body’s meridians and acupoints during this period of time. Hence, she could always impede the kidnappers’ mobility as quickly as possible.

After a while, a lot of the kidnappers in the tailor shop collapsed, leaving only the leader who started dodging Huo Tian’s attacks after he realized that the situation wasn’t in their favor.

Looking at his underlings who were groaning non-stop on the ground and no longer had any offensive power, the kidnappers’ leader looked at Huo Tian warily. “Little girl, it seems like you’re not a simple person either. Are we really going to have to fight to the death today?”

Huo Tian sneered, “Fight with me to the death? You’re just a pitiful guy who doesn’t know that you’ve been used by others. Do you think you’re worthy of that?”

A cold and malicious hatred flashed across the leader’s eyes. “Do you know who’s the one using us?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the kidnappers also reacted. “You know that those people’s ultimate goal is for us to kill you and your family. They must be your enemies. You must know their true identities, right?”

“Of course I know who they are.”

The leader of the kidnappers took a deep breath and said hurriedly, “In that case, you know that we didn’t provoke you on purpose. Why are you bent on doing us in?”

“The moment you placed the blade on my mother’s neck, your fate was already decided.”

Huo Tian got into her horse stance and held her baton. After she got into position, she looked at the kidnappers’ leader coldly.

“I know you’re just a tool to those people, and you’re also the stupidest one. If it weren’t for you, there would still be someone else. However, you’d already chosen to kidnap my mother, not only that, but you also wanted to kill her. From the moment you made the first wrong choice, your fate has been decided.”

Upon hearing Huo Tian’s judgmental words, the expression of the kidnappers’ leader gradually became deranged.

“What do you know? You’re just a lucky bitch who was raised by a rich man for 18 years.. Even if you eventually return to your biological mother’s side, you still have the huge amount of wealth that the rich man gave you!”
