Chapter 183 - 183 - The Rescue

The kidnapper raged and pulled the trigger.

Xia froze as he watched the small metal thing flash over to sobbing sheng sheng. He dashed forward before it was too late. He plucked the kid out of the man's arm and firmly hugged him; all the while the metal thing flew directly towards his eye.

Long watched this with his eyes wide open. Before he could jump over it, the bullet had already reached his lover. "NOO!" he shouted.

But all of a sudden, the raging bullet stopped mid air a small golden black shield shimmered around, protecting the kid from harm. Xia finally let out a breath he was holding. He knew that it was initially his plan to attack this was….. still he did not know what this weapon was and how it could attack Sheng sheng. Overall, he took a gamble, and he was not proud of it.

The kidnapper witnessed this and stumbled back. "M—onsters you both are monsters!!" he shouted and stepped back further. His heart thudded as he glanced at the one with mismatched clothes. He proceeded towards him with a dangerous look in his eyes….. this look he had seen many times in his life.

It was a look of a ruthless killer.

Stumbling back the kidnapper lost his footing; he held his hands out to the monster coming towards him. "Don't…. don't hurt me. My brother.... he will have your head,"

"Are you threatening me," The enraged dragon whispered tilting his head to the side, his eyes murderous he glanced down at the cockroach of a human. He dashed towards him and held him up by his collar. On hind sight he saw his lover peering at him with his eyes wide open. "Xia, close your eyes and sheng sheng's too," he ordered with a mellow tone.

Xia nodded. He hugged the kid tighter and turned around so his back was to Long. He too knew that he can't beg Long to be merciful this time because the man blatantly tried to kill him and sheng sheng. He glanced down at the shivering little one and softly rocked him. "shhh, it's okay, it's okay, everything is fine little sweetie," he softly cupped his little ears so as not hear anything that might traumatize him later on in his life.

Glancing around, Long found his lover hugging the kid tightly in his arms and hiding his face. "Good, Xia stay that way. Don't listen as well," he growled. A small whiff of fire burned out as he gazed at the imbecile in his grip. "How are you... you dare try to hurt my treasure!"

The kidnapper knew that it was over for him. This monster in front of him would definitely tear him out to pieces. His legs went limp and his heart went cold. "I—I was.... d—doing what I was ordered. Please spare me…. I have two children….. Please," he begged, trying to gain amnesty.

The dragon paused. His raging eyes brewed storms as he peered at the man's pathetic countenance. "You have children, yet you tried to kill one. What a monster indeed..." he whispered with a terrifying smile.

The kidnapper stuttered as tear and snot ran down his face. "Please have mercy, ii was ordered to. Please, I didn't want to kidnap him,"

"then who did?" Long inquired with a wooden look. From their previous dialogues he already guessed that this man was just a henchman and the real instigator was out there trying to hurt sheng sheng. He wanted the cockroach to squeak the name before he could torture him like they did in the water dungeons.

"Its Sun Yu…. its Sun yu he was the one who ordered us to kidnap him," the kidnapper sobbed gazing down at the fire breathing muster.

Xia too took a peek at him. 'Sun Yu….' He mentally noted the man's name. 'But why is this mystery man trying to hurt sheng sheng. What is the motive?' he thought, gazing down at the trembling, shrunken kid. He softly hugged him to his chest and kisses his inch length fuzzy hair. "shh you are safe, sheng sheng don't fear." He whispered and kissed him again.

The kid's trembling ceased. He glanced up at him with his teary eyes and mouthed, "I'm scared,"

"Aww sweetie it's all over, it's all over," Xia caressed his little head and hugged him tight to his body. His eyes lingered resentfully o the man in Long's hands. 'that guy is the real demon. How could he hurt sheng sheng so much. Poor kid is trembling to his bone,' he thought as he gritted his teeth. He gazed at Long and nodded. "do it," he whispered and turned back.

Getting his affirmation, Long peered at the wiggling man. "It has been a long time since I have killed anyone so bear with me," he twisted the man's hands behind, snapping his elbows completely.

The man screamed and wailed.

"oh it's not over yet, isn't this the hand that tried to hurt Xia," he picked up his right hand and twisted it completely so that no bones remained intact.

The kidnapper had already lost consciousness from all the pain, yet Long shook his awake. "Isn't this leg that brought sheng sheng here," he whispered with a wide a glare.

"P—lease…. Spare me….. spare me,"

Long nodded and hit him right where his neck met his back. His spine shattered and deformed right in front of his eyes. "You don't deserve instant death. Suffer..."

After doing so, he tossed him aside and completely wiped the blood from his hands. He sniffed his clothes that still reeked of blood. He tossed them too, appearing shirtless in front of Xia. "If anyone hurts you I will hurt them tenfold,"

With tears pooling in his eyes, Xia gazed up at his apologetic eyes. He nodded and let the tears in his eyes fall. Long method of torture made him fear him a little, because even from a distance he was able to hear every single bone being shattered. It brought a cold feeling to his heart, making him shiver innately. He hated violence, but he knew that Long only knew violence to solve this issue. He sniffed and leaned against his legs.

Long sighed and hugged his trembling lover to his bosom. "Do you fear me, love?" he whispered.

"No.... but I don't like it…." He shook his head, nuzzling further into his naked chest. Just a moment ago his dragon was stone cold torturing the man, yet here he was as warm as a furnace on a cold night, bringing him a blanket of security. "I don't fear you Long, I don't, but the sound....." he mumbled.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry you had to witness that and hear that…..Love, please don't cry, I'm sorry," Long profusely apologized. His soft lover stopped trembling after a long time of coaxing.

Whereas the kid, sheng sheng had already cried himself to sleep. Long peered at him and softly caressed the wounds on his face. Going through such an incident at such a young age might be traumatic. 'I hope he would get over it,' he thought and hugged him as well.

Peering at his sobbing lover with a child in his arms brought a small smile on his face. 'if we have a child would he/she looked like Xia. Would he/she be as cute as his love?' He thought, but he knew that they can never produce a child. The smile and the impossible thought disappeared from his head. 'if we can't birth a child then we would adopt. Any child raised by us would be our child irrespective.' He firmly decided and hugged the little crayfish securely.

Soon sirens filled the small house and few men dressed in blue rushed in. Long hugged Xia and Sheng sheng tightly and growled at them. Fire surged out of his mouth, submerging the entire room in flames.

Taking the chance, Long jumped out of the window with his lover the kid securely in his arms.

The cops were astonished, baffled and terrified. They had never seen a monster like this before. One of them quickly took over to contact the division, but a jade like hand stopped him. A man dressed in a crisp suit stood next to him.

"Sir, we can deal with this from here on," the demon butler said with a dazzling smile.

"This is a crime scene who allowed you here," he shouted and flung the man's hands but the sharply dressed gentle man held on tight. "w—hat are you doing let go,"

"I will," the demon butler smirked mysteriously.

Suddenly the entire room plunged into darkness and iridescent flowers bloomed around them.

The cops were even more scared at this point. They all stuck their back together and peered at the man in suit.

The butler stood there with an unending smirk. "It's time to forget what you saw. Forget what you heard, forget what you felt. You humans did not come here and did not see anything, got it," he whispered in a husky tone.

Like frozen puppets, the cops nodded and walked back to their cop car.
