Chapter 9
The morning sun gradually peaks its bright rays through the horizon, signifying a glorious and wonderful morning. In a place where trees, birds and people cautious with their health gather together. A particular young girl wearing a hooded short jacket, fit leggings, and white sports shoes, is running while listening to some pop music on her headset.
The slim but curvy figure of the girl causes some men in the park to turn their head her way. Though young, she carries the allure and dainty aura of a lady. She's not too far off from those gorgeous TV actresses.
This is Jade doing her morning exercise. Although exercising doesn't have any effect on her body, but unknown to all the park ground contains high concentrations of spiritual energy not strong enough to affect the bodies of the mortal around, but strong enough for her to absorb in her dantian. She actually had a suspicion that under the park lays a spiritual root. And judging from the amount of spiritual energy in the place a possibility of a medium sized root is present.
But she didn't want to dig it up as only she can enjoy this feeling. The fact that she already set up a formation in the area, where only mortals can enter the place sets her mind at ease.
"Jade your class is about to begin right? My daughter is now in 7th grade, I hope you will keep up your high grades okay?"
Luisa while preparing the food for breakfast informed Jade, who just entered the house after her exercise routine outside.
As she looks at her daughter who had grown to be a very attractive young girl, she can't help but get teary eyed and happy. She can now imagine boys getting riled up with her beauty coupled with her intelligence and charisma, a smile can't help but escape her lips.
"You seemed happy today mom, oohh, don't tell me you have a boyfriend now?"
Jade teased while she wrapped herself in a towel and slowly entered the bathroom.
"Boyfriend? Why you little…"
Luisa wanted to react but it just fall in deaf ears as rushing water can be heard in the bathroom.
That day since Jade was bored just staying at home, she went out and thought of buying some ice cream and chips from the store. At the store, after picking the things she wanted to buy 4 young delinquents entered and upon seeing her, they ogled at her figure and like hungry wolves starts to salivate.
"Hey girl, do you want to go with us?"
One of them, who looks like a gangster with a couple of earrings pierce on his nose and ears, stretched his hand and blocked Jade's path to the cashier.
"Yeah, we'll show you some nice tricks, come, it'll be fun!"
Another one joined in.
As one of the store sales personnel saw this, and seeing that the girl they are harassing is silent, he approached them.
"Dear customers, I'm sorry but please don't do this. Just let her pass through. Please…"
With courteous words he tried to pacify the situation.
But unexpectedly one of the delinquents suddenly blocked his way and pushed him back.
"Back off idiot. This is the Sigma gang's business, do you want to get messed up!"
Upon hearing the name Sigma gang, the man trembled and fear can be seen on his face. The courage he once have suddenly escape and he just stood there with his head down.
Seeing that the man is scared of their gang, the delinquent sneered in contempt.
"See that, we can protect you missy, just come with us."
The delinquent youth who blocked Jade stretched his hand wanting to brush her hair, when a strong hand reached out and grabbed it. Then with a forceful nudge pushed the delinquent youth to the ground.
Silence pervades the surroundings, while a woman who looks like in her 20's stood behind them with a commanding presence. The young woman looks very pretty, and her pert nose and blossom pink lips highlights her charms. Wearing a fit blue jeans and a white clingy shirt that exudes her curves. She looks like a model with an attitude.
"Sigma gang eh… do you think you are the kings of this city? Do you want me to arrest the bunch of you?"
'A cop. This big sister looks really pretty, I wonder how these stupid juveniles will react?'
Jade stayed silent and just observed the situation.
"Oh! Wow! A pretty police officer. Sorry mam, if you want you can arrest us and we'll stay in a cell together. He he he he."
Seeming unafraid of the officer in front of them, they instead encircled her and look at her with lascivious eyes.
The delinquent youth on the ground excitedly stood up.
"I guess you guys are too willful and won't learn unless you get beaten up eh. Let's go then…"
After leaving those words, she just rushed and punched the face of the delinquent in front of her who looks thin and feeble. His body immediately crashed to the near wall and slump down unconscious.
"Ha ha, weak too weak."
Then like a goddess of war, she charge towards the next delinquent youth who also reacted by delivering a jab directed to her face. But before it can connect, the woman already had her fist on his stomach and he folded like a cooked shrimp and fell on the floor face down.
With two down the other two gang members looked at each other with a knowing eyes. Then one of them took out a small knife.
"I guess we just have to ruin your face and take you with us then… cop!"
With an evil eye, the delinquent thrust a stab at the young officer from behind. But before he can arrive, the woman did a sweeping move on the ground making the youth fall on his face, the knife accidentally piercing through the flesh of his shoulder.
A wretched howl followed after as the youth struggled through the pain.
"You… you… I, I will tell my boss about this and we'll kill you!"
The remaining gang member with a lot of earrings on his face shouted as he ran out of the store while shouting his empty threats.
The woman just shrugged her shoulder, then she look at Jade and smiled.
"Are you okay? You seemed shocked. With me around no one can hurt you. You can go home now."
Jade nod and is greatly pleased at the woman's heroic attitude. Though she knew that this will spell trouble for the cop, but with her personality and strength the woman will be fine.
After walking out of the convenience store, Jade sat on a bench nearby and started to enjoy her ice cream. This is one of the delicacy that she like about this world. But not long, she immediately noticed that on the other side of the road another group of gangster looking delinquents are eyeing the store.
She immediately know who their target is and she also saw the delinquent who escaped was with them.
When the police woman excited the store, Jade immediately called for her.
"Umn… excuse me! Hi I'm Jade Guillar! I'm sorry I didn't thank you immediately. But, thank you for helping me back there."
"Ow… I'm Miya, Miya Galos. You're welcome, you better not hang around here little girl. This area's a bit dangerous."
"Yeah, I know… Big sister, you should take care too okay."
After saying that Jade stood up and walked away.
Miya looked at Jade and smiled while she walk towards her car and also drove away.
"So that's the cop who beat you guys up. She not that bad, and the little girl she talked to is also of high quality."
A man inside a car said as he looked out of the window. Looking at the group of delinquents with three of them in black and blue and disfigured faces, he sneered in contempt.
"Follow them. If you have a chance grab them. Go!"
He commanded in a cold voice.
Closing the car's window, his mouth curved into a smile as he imagined those two beautiful girls in the palm of his hands.
