*Xin Lei*
Even I didn't see when everything happened in a flash.
Zhang Ning, who was bent near Ying Yue, hadn't even turned her head when her wrist was suddenly caught and the knife knocked out of her hand.
She seemed frozen and startled. She slowly raised her head and looked up.
Rodey's ferocious and dangerous gaze was glowering at her, and his tall body was looming over her as if a Death God had descended. He was bleeding from his abdomen, but it didn't look like he felt any pain at all.
It was truly unbelievable. Just a few moments ago, I was desperately wishing to somehow help the woman, and at that moment, my wish was actually answered.
I traced my sight back to the pillar where the chains were fixed in a round hook that had bound Rodey. But now the hook was gone, and there was a huge hole in that pillar where it once was.
