Sizing up the shady-looking Mu Lianjue, Vermilion Bird hastened to her charge, squatted before the boy, and whispered, "Sir, calm down; don't take his words for real! He may be taking you for a ride."
She voiced her concern to him.
She did not know what device the fellow was holding in his hand.
Is that thing really a long-range explosive device?
No one knows for sure, and none will know the truth.
Perhaps, just as what the man had said, once he pressed the button, the boy's house would explode and be buried in a sea of flame instantly.
It would mean that his mother and older brother would ruthlessly end up as a bloody splatter in the blast!
Perhaps, his words were truly only deception. There was no explosive or long-range device in his person, and he only wanted to deceive the boy into becoming his hostage.
The man knew very well that the one who wanted his life was Mu Yazhe!
