Chapter 182 - 182 - Trigger

"That man..... He smells like blood and someone familiar....I can smell sheng sheng on him," Long mumbled and glanced down at his lover.

A terrible thought entered their mind. If in case the blood that long sniffed out turned out to be sheng sheng's then he might be in danger.

"Follow that man," Xia whispered urgently, tugged at his sleeves.

The man was rushing ahead of them with sweat dripping down his forehead. He weirdly looked panicky as he glanced both ways at the road. He then caught a cab and jumped in.

"Long he is leaving. We have to do something," Xia shouted as well. The zooming cars were not stopping on their expense. They were completely ignored, and the man was leaving fast. Xia rushed to the middle of the road and stopped a fast-moving car. He rushed over to the window side of the driver and tapped it. "Sir, please our friend is in danger follow that man please," Xia whispered.

Glancing at his beauty, the driver was more than happy to let him in. Xia hopped into the front seat then Long also followed after him in the back seat. He tightly held Xia's hands and gazed ahead at the car that was zooming away.

The chase started. Their driver was not that adept at driving, yet still he was chasing the cab with interest. "Who is in danger, little beauty?"

Long from the back seat pulled leaned forward and glared at him. 'Who is this man, talking so promiscuously to Xia.'

Xia saw his scrutinizing gaze and chuckled. "Sir, me and my lover are trying to save a kid's life. We believe he had been kidnapped, buy that man in that car we are chasing," he kindly answered the driver.

"Ohhhh, so you guys are a couple. I knew that, I knew that," the driver nodded continuously. Yet he had a wronged expression on his face. Suddenly he got a notification on his phone. It was just a weibo post his sister shared to him. It featured two young men smooching squatting on the ground. He was astonished for a second. "Is that you, little beau….sirs," he swiftly changed the addressing as he noticed the dragon's glare. He handed his phone over to the beauty next to him and concentrated on the car in front of them.

Xia peered at the picture with an astonished look. "Long, Long look, this is us. It looks like a small painting of us," he cheerfully showed the picture to the dragon.

"It does. Wow, how did they paint in such a small canvas," Long wondered as she turned the cell phone over and over again.

The driver's eyes went wide. 'Shit, did I take some nut cases?' He cussed internally, yet still the beauty next to him in yellow was a sight for sore eyes. "Yes, because it's a photo, not a painting," he explained.

"Ho, so this is a cell phone. I heard you can do mathematics, we can do almost everything with it," Xia whispered to Long with a cheerful smile. He then handed it to the driver and said his thanks.

The cab in front of them stopped next to a dingy corner, and the man rushed out. Xia too rushed out of the car.

Long stayed back and was about to hand out a gold ingot, but since no one accepted it, he handed a pearl as huge as a gooseberry to the driver. He jumped out and followed after his lover.

"Look at him, giving me a fake pearl," the driver was about to toss the pearl out but, the shimmering luster of it made him stop. "Maybe, I should professionally asses It." what he didn't realize was that the pearl in his hands was worth more than his lifetime earnings. "Anyway, they did say someone was kidnapped, let me call the police for them," he called and left the premise.

Meanwhile, Xia and Long hid behind a wall and gazed at the man rushing into an old building. Long was about to follow him inside, but Xia held him back.

"Aren't we going to save him?" Long whispered.

"Yes, but we still don't know how many people are in there and....if we rush in thy might harm Sheng sheng," Xia whispered with a frown. He glanced around at the empty roadway and then at the building. It had many open windows. Xia sneaked up next to one and gazed inside. He could see four men inside, all dressed in black.

Meanwhile, Bao and the butler were rushing to the spot they had lost HIM.

"Speed up," Bao whispered anxiously biting his fingernails. 'If anything happened to HIM...I will kill them all…' he thought as killing intent flew from his eyes.

The butler started sweating from his overwhelming presence. He wiped his sweat away and whispered, "Master, we will get there. Please refrain from letting out your killing intent,"

Their car zoomed past many cars. Suddenly from a corner a cop car started following behind them. "Car, 778 please stop," the cops, announced.

Swearing out loud, the butler pulled up the car to the side.

"Don't tell them anything about HIM okay," Bao warned and rolled down his window. "Hello officer, what may we help you with," he said with the most pleasant smile he could muster. Even though they were powerful demons, they liked to live according to the rules of the humans. This helped them blend in and keep themselves out of trouble.

But sadly, the moment he opened the window, an overwhelming stench of whiskey wafted out. The cops became suspicious of drunken driving, so they called aside the butler to check him.

'Darn it, I don't have time to waste, HE is in danger, I need to be there for him,' Bao cussed inside his heart. He sneakily crawled out the car and disappeared into the busy road.

The kidnappers' inside saw the two looming around thorough the Cctv camera. "shall we kill them," one of them whispered anxiously. Their hideout had been so secretive yet the two people found it so easily. This made the boss panicky. This was not their first kidnapping, yet the severity of the issue made him panic even more.

"Darn It, I knew there was something wrong." One of the kidnappers grumbled.

The boss shook his head, though. "The pay is so high. Of course it would come with problems. They are just two men; we can easily deal with them." He then glanced back at the kid at was tied up. 'Why do they pay so much for him? It's just a normal kid. Maybe is he a businessman's secret child?'

"You, go kill the tall one and the one in yellow turtleneck," he pointed to Xia, "bring him, we can sell him for a good price," he mumbled.

Outside the house, Long and xia could hear all their conversations clearly. "I will kill that bastard. They even dare think about selling you," the dragon raged and was about to charge in, but Xia stopped him.

"Long...we should not kill them. This is a new world. If we do something, that might tip the balance, it might even collapse," Xia warned him. "I can hear sheng sheng. He might probably be tied up in the same room. What we do is that. We shall charge in and knock them out cold."

Long nodded and cracked his knuckles. "I can break some bones, right?"

"Some, not all. Come on, let go,"

They both broke the door and charged in. the men were already ready for their arrival with baseball bats and hammers. They swung at them together.

Long threw a punch which broke all of their weapons. Swiftly he dashed through the group of men and continuously broke their right arm.

Xia watched all this with his eyes wide open. He jumped over men who were wiggling in pain and reached the interior room where they held sheng sheng.

As they both reached for the door, they heard a small whimper continued by a warning, "if you dare come in I will blow this kid's brain,"

Xia held his hands out and stopped long. "we….we just want the kid. Please don't harm him," he shouted out loud. There was a small hole in the door, through which he peeped though. The kidnapper inside was indeed holding sheng sheng close with a metal thing on his head.

"Long can your create a shield around Sheng sheng," he softly whispered in his ears.

"I can't see him so I can't create a complete shield." Long whispered anxiously.

"so if you can see him, would you be able to create one in just seconds?"

"I can," Long confidently whispered.

Xia nodded and threw the door open. He threw out a small water ball at the kidnapper so to distract him. In the meantime, Long created a shield around the kid.

The kidnapper raged and pulled the trigger.
