Part 30
/*unedited*/
The morning sun bathes the whole city with its golden rays as the dawn of a new day greeted Delta city. Bustling pedestrian and long lines of cars can be seen everywhere as many pedestrians occupy the streets and begin another day of work.
Joe Wang has been busy consolidating his cultivation as he has now reached another threshold in his power. The number of energy spheres in his dantian has now reached five, jumping immediately from three spheres in just one go. This might also be the reason why Joe Wang's body and mental stress almost didn't have enough strength to resist the rapid growth.
"This is pretty good! My strength is now incomparable to any other human… I still must hide the fact that I have this power. Who knows what kind of powerful beings are watching this world."
While Joe Wang is muttering to himself, the room's door suddenly opens and a beautiful figure came walking in. Melissa Krin has already processed everything and called the old men and Vincent Lee's group that they are going out today. The two groups wanted to see them before going, but she insisted that they would visit them after a few days.
It is almost the end of the school break and the two wanted to spend this time having fun.
Although no words were said, deep inside Joe Wang's heart he has already treated Melissa Krin as his own woman. Although he didn't know her feelings for him, as a person who experienced loving someone before, he knew that she might feel the same thing for him.
But of course, he didn't want to jump into conclusions and didn't want to have an awkward time with her, so Joe Wang decided to wait and see. Plus right now is not the time for him to express his feelings. A wasted man and a eunuch like him have no right to be with a beautiful and charming young woman like Melissa Krin. This is his only insecurity at this time, and it has taken a big hit of his pride as a powerful cultivator of the past.
As the two's eyes met each other a smile bloomed on their faces.
"So how was it, big sister?"
Upon hearing his words, a slight frown appears in Melissa Krin's mouth. Although they already kind of have a tacit understanding about him calling her big sister, she still could not deny the feeling she had for this handsome young man.
The four years gap in their age, made her want to take a step back. But which woman can resist an outstanding and a handsome guy. Plus she can feel her importance in his life from the way he treated her.
The few days they were together are more than enough for him to capture her heart. However, Melissa Krin didn't want to start anything with him yet. She didn't want to initiate anything with him yet, because she is scared that her thoughts are not what he is thinking. There is a possibility that he is just treating her like an older sister.
"Everything is alright now, I have already paid the bills and the discharge letter from the doctors are done. We can go out anytime."
Joe Wang has already taken a shower and has freshened up, and since the two didn't want to carry anything, they just checked out directly and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
Unknown to them, a man is silently waiting in the cafeteria and another one is also waiting outside. They seem to act like they are waiting for someone and are very inconspicuous.
But who is Joe Wang?
He has already observed the two and knew their purpose. The small high tech earpieces on their ears continuously send out instructions and this was already picked out by him when they got out of the elevator.
He has already anticipated this because of Melissa Krin's attack last night. He knew that the people are going to search for her because they didn't find any news about her from the hospital.
Although he can devise a way for them to escape this, yet Joe Wang didn't want to waste this opportunity to test his new strength, plus he didn't want any future trouble for Melissa Krin. So he decided to see what these people are going to do next.
"Little Joe, after breakfast, where do you want to go next?"
"Hmm… we can visit big sister Angel. I want to propose another business venture for her."
"Another business? What kind of business?"
When she asked this question, Joe Wang showed her a mysterious smile.
"Jewelry… magic jewelry."
"What? What do you mean, magic jewelry?" she asked in confusion as her interest was suddenly piqued.
"…"
She didn't know why, but every time this guy thinks about something, he would almost always make the most absurd and impossible things. As of now, she feels excited about knowing what kind of jewelry he can make.
Of course, as a woman, Melissa Krin is very interested in jewelry. So she can't wait to see them.
Joe Wang already knew that the three remaining stones which they have chosen are with Vincent Lee. As a famous credible businessman, they trust Vincent Lee that he would not touch those stones. Of course, Joe Wang's ability and power are the deciding points if those stones would not be claimed by Vincent Lee.
As the two finished talking and eating their breakfast, they walked towards the seemingly empty corner of the hospital.
Suddenly, a white van rushed towards their location and two men from behind suddenly came rushing forward.
"Hey, do you trust me?"
"Hmm? Umm… yes of course, why?"
"Stay calm, I will protect you. Okay?"
"Umm… yes."
Although a bit confused, Melissa Krin just nods her head with a smile.
Suddenly her expression changed from happiness into a shock.
This is because she suddenly noticed two men coming towards them.
She wanted to react but she saw Joe Wang smiling towards her calmly, which made her heart skip a beat.
"Did he know that this is going to happen?..." she thought as her heart began to beat faster in nervousness.
Screech!!!
The sound of the white van skidding on the road as the burning smell of rubber permeated through the air.
"Get in!"
One of the men shouted as the two arrived behind them and quickly cover their heads with black sackcloth. They were both forcefully grabbed and shove inside the white van.
Inside the van, there are already two men waiting to receive them as the van immediately speeds up down the road.
Joe Wang didn't let go of Melissa Krin's hand to ensure her that he is there to keep her safe.
The four men inside the van didn't do anything and they just quietly take the two towards a place.
Although no words are being said, Joe Wang can see with his absolute sense what is happening inside the van. The four men are currently feasting their eyes on Melissa Krin's body. Thought her head is cover by sackcloth but her feature is truly that of a really fine young woman.
Her healthy twin peaks and hot curvy body would move along the van making it bounce every now and then. This made the men inside the van swallow their saliva unconsciously. If they are not working under someone, then they would have disposed of Joe Wang and raped her over and over.
Although Joe Wang is angry he still reigned in his anger and bade his time.
"Hey, do we have to keep this kid? Why don't we just…" suddenly one of the men said while gesturing a slit on his neck.
"We did not receive any instructions about this… We are just commanded to take her and the people with her to the old warehouse."
The man who said this is sitting beside the driver of the van.
From the looks of it, the man seems to be the leader of this group.
Joe Wang can assess that the man is a martial artist, judging from his demeanor and his body structure.
When Melissa Krin heard the men she was shaken. She didn't want anything to happen to Joe Wang, so she felt scared and worried at the same time.
But the reassuring squeeze from his hand made her heart feel a bit calm. But still, she can't help but worry.
Not long later, the van stopped and they were dragged towards an old warehouse. It took them almost an hour to come to this secluded place and Joe Wang didn't waste his energy and just go with the flow.
Because the two didn't fight back, the people didn't tie their hands. Plus the men seem to be confident of this own skills. After taking off the sackcloth the two saw that they are now inside the gate of an old warehouse.
"Where is this?" Melissa Krin asked unconsciously upon seeing the place.
"Walk!"
Shouted one of the men as they escorted the two towards the middle of the warehouse where many broken wooden crates and machinery can be seen around them.
Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, the leader of the group receives a phone call.
After talking for a while, a sinister smile appears on his face. Then he called one of his men and gave him some instructions.
Receiving his command from their boss, the man showed an evil grin as he walks towards Joe Wang.
"It seems that this is your unlucky day young man." The man said as he suddenly punched towards Joe Wang's face.
Before his fist could connect, Joe Wang already sent his instructions to Melissa Krin.
Bang!
Joe Wang was sent flying towards a stack of wooden crates and hitting it loudly then he fell on the ground pitifully.
"No! Don't! Please! Stop it!" Melissa Krin suddenly cried out loud.
But the man didn't bother with her as another man stood beside her while restraining her arm.
The man began beating Joe Wang who is sprawled on the ground as his face immediately showed bruising and blood slowly drips from the corner of his mouth.
This scene made Melissa Krin's heart almost break as tears began flowing from the corner of her beautiful eyes.
