Rick was waiting for the leader to open in his mouth in favor of him, or else he was sure no one would be able to stop the blood from getting shed. He has witnessed the menacing look on his face all the way here. Even after getting the clue about his woman's whereabouts, the darkness of his face did not reduce, rather got ever darker. Rick looked at the leader and once again tried to repeat gist of his words, "If you really hold your life precious, then cooperate with or else don't blame us when we get on the path of violence" Hearing him repeat his words again, the leaders thought that their opponents were not so powerful or else they won't be barking their words here instead of biting them off. Filled with fickle confidence, the leader sneered proudly. "Who do you think you are talking to? Cooperate? Why would we cooperate with you guys? If you want to play like a man, then come let's have a show?" Saying his words, the man took out a dagger from the back pocket of his pants. "We don't have time to waste out time and breath on them?" At this moment a cold piercing voice came into everyone's ears followed by the chilly cold air from the north pole. The voice was enough to leave everyone shivering. The leader tried to look at the person to whom such a domineering voice belonged to but nothing came to his sight as none of the men standing in the row had opened their mouths. But suddenly his eyes caught a movement. It was so swift that he wasn't even able to see who the person was. Before he could even realize the man had already got in front of him. That sudden movement almost gave a panic attack to the men. Instinctively they raised their weapons up and were about to attack. Now they did not care to look into the identity of the person they were against, only protecting themselves from this sudden threat. The leader attacked first but unfortunately, his movements weren't as swift and clear as Deming. Without putting much effort, he dodged it leaving the leader and his men dumbstruck. Bringing himself back to the present situation, the leader tried his hands again but it has already been too late for him. Even before he could lift his hand for the second time, someone had already pointed a sharp clean muzzle of the gun on his head, making his freeze at his place. Lifting his gaze up when he looked, it was the same man dressed in all black. His eyes were darker than any night. One look of those eyes was enough to shatter anyone's confidence from both heart and soul. He then looked sideways to see if he could get any help from his people but to his astonishment all of his men were completely down on their knees at the opponent's mercy. It was a sight of embarrassment but there was no way in which they could fight with them, not after looking at the bloodthirsty look of the man holding the gun at his head. "That was already enough wastage of time. Now, will you be telling me where you have kept her?" his words weren't a question, it was a clear demand which was needed to be fulfilled by hook or crook. "I … I … How can I tell you that? We have some rules and principles to follow. Though we have indulged ourselves in illegal works, still we are not a betrayer. Once we have taken someone's money, we won't ever backstab them even if our life gets at stake", the leader said. "Is that so? I see you are quite a principled man. Caring more for your so called rules and principles than your own lives. Great! I really respect your guts but I doubt if my gun works on any principle or not" "You … you … you can do like that", the leader persuaded. "Okay I will give you a last chance. I don't have much time. I will ask you one last time. Consider everything and then reply to me. Otherwise as I said my gun does not work on any principle, just an order from my finger is enough" The cold expression on Deming's face was making everything look even more serious. The leader was already sweating profusely, still thinking what to choose and what to ignore? However before they could even make any decision, Deming said, "Since your face still holds the expression of confusion, I don't think even a whole twenty four hours would suffice to you. I don't want to waste my time on a shit like you" Leaving his collar, Deming moved a little distance from him and without any hesitation shot right through his heat. Then looking at his men he signaled them to shoot the others off too, leaving the only one to survive. The man who was left to breath, looked with a confused expression. Was he dead and still dreaming to be alive? Or was everything from before a dream? "Don't worry, you are not left alive for nothing. If you want to live, then you have to pay the price for it", Deming said, dusting off his hand and clothes off. Of course the man was smart enough to know what his words implied. Without waiting for another second he said everything in one breath. "Thank you … thank you … thank you for sparing my life. I will tell you … I will tell you everything. It's a man from H Nation, who has asked to kidnap that woman. He has offered us thousands of dollars for that, so our chief has accepted it" "Where is she now?" Deming asked without showing much expression on his face. "Ahh yes … yes … she is safe and still inside in the last room. She must be still dizzy due the hard slap I gave her and her body has gone numb due to the drug we used on her. She is inside, you can go and check. And also the man who has asked us to bring her here is also inside", the man said, getting overly excited thinking himself lucky because his life has been saved. But little did he expect that the next second he would be praying for death to come, but death would not be given to him. Six shots were gun fired at him, aiming every shot on his pair of hands. None of the shots were missed. Each and every got through its rightful positions. Two were shot on both upper arms, two on the forearm and the remaining two were on his hands. He didn't realize what mistake he had made until Deming snarled, "Which one of those did you use on her?" Then he remembered that in his excitement, he has also sprouted the information he shouldn't have. "I … I …", he stammered in fear. His body trembling uncontrollably. "Rick I don't have time to deal with him anymore. Make sure his arms were left for no use", he said and strutted in with long strides. Ricked looked at the disappearing man. 'Huh! How were his arms left for any use now? He had already shot the three fatal places of his arms. Even if they brought him to the doctor, they would have to cut them off to prevent his other organs from getting infected' This man was simply ruthless. Back inside, There was clear fear visible on Lifen's face. She wanted to defend herself but she became a helpless damsel in distress there, waiting for someone to save her. This was so not her nature. She was pushed on the bed, giving a spin to her already dizzy head. She looked at the man who only had clear l.u.s.t in his eyes when he was slowly approaching her, licking his lips in the dirtiest way. "Gao Ren, let me go. This is not the way to treat a woman. You can't force…" she tried to give some sense to his head even after knowing that a pervert like him would never understand it. "You have really taken my powers wrongly. I can do anything. And treating you this is the most right way. Being in power, you have almost forgotten to whom the real power belongs. It's not to some woman, rather to men like us", he said shamelessly grasping her legs and pulling her under him. Getting to such an extent of closeness with this awful man, Lifen felt that the worst inside her. She tried to lift her knees up to kick him but she still did not feel anything. Her breathing became heavy as the fear surfaced her heart. No this can't happen. She can be the weak female lead in her own life. This was her only life and she wants to be a strong woman who can set an example for lots of women behind. She can't be like this. She closed her eyes, sensing the man coming uncomfortably close. Her heart held a disappointment that might never go from her life if anything wrong happens to her. Losing all her hopes, Lifen was about to lose herself when suddenly …
