"Huh!" Xia Che stood there frozen in shock. "w—what.... that's not true at all." But the guards did not seem to agree with him. They grabbed his arms tightly and tied a spiritual power restraining rope to his neck.
"What are you doing!! I am not an imposter!! You listen to me," he screeched, but the guards started to drag him to the door.
"I am not an imposter!!!" he struggled against the guard's hold.
"Wait," long's uncle walked closer with a wretched smile. "He is also a thief. Leave behind what you stole." He gestured to the arm glove.
"Like hell.." Xia Che held out his hands. The glove, which was asleep till now, woke up enthusiastically and shot a huge of stored up energy at him.
The old dragon stumbled back, dodging the blow.
Xia Che took this chance to rush to his mum. "Mum!! Mum!! Get up, mum. We have to go!!" he shook her, but she remained sleeping quietly.
Suddenly, the back of his neck chilled. A cold sword was placed there. "You might want to cooperate or your whore of a mother will die as well..."
He glanced at him with a small smile. "You don't have the guts to kill me, right? Is that why you are using tricks?"
"Tricks? I'm only telling the truth. You are nothing but an imposter. Acting like a beast, but you are a dirty dirty Rakshasa." He shoved the sword at him.
It cut into his skin, leaving behind a bloody trail.
"Give me the golden glove or else..."
"Else what? Even if I die, this glove will not acknowledge you as the new owner," Xia Che laughed manically. "You all are fucking cowards,"
Long's uncle suddenly directed his sword towards the small red egg.
"no!!!" Xia Che swiftly hugged him in his embrace. "You cruel man. You are willing to kill your own nephew."
"That thing is not my nephew. Who knows what kind of man she slept with to give birth to this thing? Such a nasty bloodline who would accept it." he mumbled with a look of deep disgust.
Xia Che silently glared at him. "Don't talk about my mother like that old man,"
"I get what you are doing. You are just stalling for time. Don't worry, about your little lover, nor will your loving in-laws get here in time. Before that I will have killed your loving mother and that abomination.' The man laughed cruelly.
His two daughters happily chuckled along.
"Monster..." Xia mumbled softly. As of now, he did not have any other way but to part with his father's gift. It was the only thing he had of him. He tore it from his hands and tossed it at him. "Take it. Let them go,"
"Gladly, that is my nephew after all," the old man beamed at the glove. His trembling hands kept caressing the smaller details engraved on it. "Where did you get it? This is great demon lord Lian Hua's beloved glove,"
Xia Che looked down at him. "He is my father...."
"Father?" the old man looked surprised but after which he laughed loudly. "Great.. even greater news. I have his blood line with me. Illus!!"
A special guard dressed in black ran forward. "Capture this intruder. He is the son of the great demon king Lian Hua. Execute him for her sins,"
"!!!!" Xia Che struggled so much, yet he was not able to escape at all. The rope around his neck restrained his spiritual powers. "You will pay for this," he glared at him intently. His mother was still in there, and so was his little sibling.
'long.. Come soon... this is not a good place to be.'
The black clothes guard dragged him unceremoniously towards the darker, more remote corners of the palace.
He kept his eyes wide open, searching for an opening, but sadly the guards seems very well trained. They were disciplined and were not distracted by anything.
They led them towards a small abandoned house in the corner of the palace.
'That place looks like it hides a lot of bones... shit, I have to get out of this thing,' he tugged at the rope around his neck.
"Watch it! Touch it one more time and your hands fly off," the guards growled at him, pointing a sword at his throat.
Xia obediently placed his hands above his head. His hands touched something sharp. 'Hey how could I forget the hairpin I got as a gift?'
His finger slowly pulled it out and slid it into his sleeves.
"Don't think of doing anything stupid." The man pushed him inside the opened door and got inside. Only he got in. The other stayed behind.
"What? are you that old man's henchmen. Che that stupid guy I don't even know his name yet I hate him so much. I can't imagine how you are tolerating his face and working,"
The man punched his face.
For a second the whole world spun, he stumbled around and gripped the wooden walls. "That was not painful at all... what did that old croon tell you to beat me to death. That's so unlike him. I thought he preferred swift death,"
The guard punched him once more, but this time right above his naval. Xia swiftly moved a bit to avoid hurting the child.
After this, the man's punched were always aimed at his stomach.
"Oh I get it, you want to beat the child out of me.. ha-ha.... ha-ha... what a stupid plan? Don't you know dragon babies are resilient to anything? When my long get to hea...."
"Shut up!" the guard threw him back onto the walls and continuously punched his face.
While he was in rage, Xia pulled out his hair pin. "yo... you know... you are a bitch,"
"What did you say?!" the man's eyes went wide in fury. When he paused for a second, Xia slammed the pin into his throat and pulled it out. He stabbed him once again.
The guy gasped loudly, spitting out blood from his mouth. His throat was torn apart and his blood was splattering everywhere.
Xia pushed the stumbling man down and stomped on his neck.
"You are your master's bitch, that's for sure..."
After that man dies he searched his belongings. There was a small dagger in his body. He took it and tried to chop through the rope, but it was not cutting.
None of the weapons were able to cut through.
Right then, he heard a loud commotion outside. Sword loudly clashed and men's final scream of death was heard.
'Goodness I am in so much trouble.'
