Everything unfolded in a whirlwind of suddenness.
Before Gu Yang could even register the approaching car, she found herself propelled forward by Gu Jin's forceful shove, colliding with Feng Jue's solid chest.
Feng Jue's reflexes kicked in just in time to catch Gu Yang in his arms.
Concern for Gu Jin didn't even register for Feng Jue. He knew she was an SS-class Mutant like himself, possessing strength far beyond the ordinary. Even if she faced a speeding car head-on, she'd likely emerge with only superficial injuries.
At least, that's what Gu Jin had assumed in that split second.
But Gu Yang's mutation leaned more towards mental prowess than physical prowess, and coupled with her hemophilia, any injury could be perilous.
In that split second, Gu Jin's uncertainty about her ability to shield Gu Yang from harm led her to instinctively push her towards Feng Jue.
