The doors slammed open and the windows crashed. From both sides men in black shirts flooded in, some holding guns and some with brass knuckles. Ying Yue quickly noticed the weapons and reached into her bag, quickly tucking in some items into her waistband. Flicking her hand, two daggers slipped into her hand and she calmly waited till they were surrounded.
Her eyes grazed over the men calculating how long it would take to finish all of them. As she took a step further to test one of their skill levels she felt a warm palm push her back. In an instant she was pulled and pushed behind him protectively.
"Stay back."
Her heart was touched at his action of protecting her. His broad shoulders and tense muscles acted as a security blanket, he intended to be the wall between her and the danger. Yet at the same time she was slightly annoyed. Did he not think that she could handle herself? While she had not shown him her true skills, their previous altercations should have at least given an idea that she wasn't weak. 'Hmph, I can take all of them down easily yet this man hides me behind him. I'll show him just how brutual I can be." With that she slyly smiled, unbeknownst to Xi Long who's focus was on protecting her failed to notice his kitten mischievously planning behind his back.
When the last man had entered they were fully surrounded, their backs against the wall. Guns were pointed towards them and by their stances he could tell they were trained. Maybe slightly above average fighters, the guns were the latest model but lacked in efficiency at close range fighting. This meant that whoever hired them had money but were not well versed in fighting. Xi Long had many enemies but who hired these men - he did not know.
"Who sent you." His deep and murderous voice echoed throughout the restaurant. The men in black shivered, they had been ordered to hurt their target until he begged for death but they did not tell them it was Han Xi Long. His reputation was known throughout their world as a ruthless businessman but a cold hearted monster who took lives at the drop of a hat. Their boss had ordered them so they could only follow the orders now no matter how much they wish they could leave. It was the honour of their business, no task is left unfinished.
"Sorry sir but we are held by confidentiality. Our client has requested to stay anonymous but has left a message to pass onto you: You always think you are untouchable, now look as you die at my hands."
'Well that was dramatic.' Ying Yue rolled her eyes, this all seems to be a big comedy show. When were they going to get to the fighting bit?!
"Well tell your client, if your survive that is, that his death is near."
With that he whipped his jacket open and pulled two guns from his waistband and started shooting. Guns started raining down, the men attempting to shoot but him evading. Flipping the table he used it as a shield from the bullets. He pulled Ying Yue down by her head and pushed her against the corner.
"Stay here. I'll be right back."
"No I'll come with you."
"No. You will stay right here." His blood boiled, it was the middle of a fight there are guns laying around and she wanted to join?? He knew that she was trained but to what extent? That he was unsure of and refused to take any risks.
His dominance and way of ordering her pissed her off. 'Fine let him have his fun, but I will join.' She grumpily nodded and pretended to listen to him. Xi Long was suspicious of her behaviour but had no time to see if she was telling the truth or not. Leaving her behind the table, he suddenly jumped into the middle of the fighting shooting people and using his feet to attack the unarmed. Each shot he took was deadly, instead of killing them all right away he shot them in vital parts making them bleed out slowly.
'15 down, around 20 left to go.' Running out of bullets Xi Long used the back of his gun to knock out two of them. Fighting the rest bare handed, he ripped out their guns and threw them across the room. The men were afraid, they continued to attack but he was a monster. In the span of five minutes he had taken down half their force. One man had sneaked past him and went towards the table in hopes of capturing the woman. If they could use her has bait they can change the tide of this battle and he would be forced to submit to them. Xi Long noticed the man step over but as he was ready to stop him the man's body crumpled to the floor. From behind Ying Yue stepped out and looked directly at him.
"You've had your fun, now its my turn."
Ignoring his anger filled eyes she shut off her mind and threw herself into the battle. She used her daggers to quickly stab the enemies in vital points - just enough to crush their will to fight. Two men ran towards her in hopes of subduing her but before they could lay a hand on her she had already blocked them. Using that momentum she double kicked them each in the chest knocking the breath out of them. She smiled as she continued to fight, within two minutes of entering the fight she had already taken down ten of the men. The remaining men were in shock. Who was this woman? Was she a trained assassin? His bodyguard - but there conversation did not match? It was hard enough trying to kill Han Xi Long on his own but now they had to kill her too. She was too brutal for them, if he was the monster she was queen of monsters.
Ying Yue could less about what those men were thinking at this point. Fully immersed in the fight her only thought was to take them down. In three more minutes she had successfully injured or knocked out the remaining men. Finding the leader she quickly tied his hands behind his back and pressed his face into the floor as she held a dagger against his neck.
"Now let's try this again, who sent you."
