Chapter 14: Winning Hearts with Strategy
Lady Ya Fei's expression suddenly changed. Her own bodyguard was actually planning to cause trouble!
"Do you understand what you're doing?" Lady Ya Fei forced herself to remain calm, coldly questioning him, trying to intimidate him with words.
"As long as you take me back, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything you said today, and I'll keep your actions hidden," the fierce young man said with a sneer, kicking Master Oba aside.
"Lady Ya Fei, do you really think I'm that easy to deceive?"
"Ever since you told me about this, I've already been back to my residence and brought all my savings with me."
Step by step, the fierce young man approached Lady Ya Fei, his face showing a look of intoxication and infatuation.
"When Lady Ya Fei mentioned teaching this guy a lesson in a secluded place, I knew my chance had come, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Hearing this, Lady Ya Fei realized that the fierce young man was already prepared to escape.
A hint of panic flashed across her face.
Lady Ya Fei took a step back, and the fierce young man moved closer.
"You don't have to take such risks! There are plenty of good women in this world!"
Lady Ya Fei backed into the wall, with nowhere else to go. The panic on her face was evident as she spoke hastily.
"Just let me go, and I promise I'll introduce you to a suitable match. With your status as a combat master, there will surely be many women willing to be with you!"
"Hehe, it seems Lady Ya Fei doesn't realize her own charm. With your stunning beauty, proud figure, and that unattainable aura..."
The fierce young man seemed to realize they were in a remote area and didn't mind chatting with Lady Ya Fei a little longer.
As her bodyguard, he had only ever communicated with Lady Ya Fei through commands and responses, never engaging in conversation.
"After spending time by your side, how could I still be interested in those ordinary women?"
"Do you know what I think about most every day? It's how to possess you, how to dominate you!"
The fierce young man spoke urgently, his breath quickening involuntarily.
Seeing the fierce young man in this state, Lady Ya Fei knew that trying to entice him with flattery wouldn't work.
After all, as he had said, she was the greatest temptation herself.
With this in mind, Lady Ya Fei hesitated for a moment before deciding to reveal her identity.
"I am from the Mitel family. My visit to Wutan City is only for experience. You should think carefully. Dare to lay a hand on me, and you will face the wrath of the Mitel family!"
The fierce young man was stunned. As her bodyguard, he couldn't possibly know Lady Ya Fei's true identity.
He didn't expect Lady Ya Fei to be from the Mitel family, visiting Wutan City only for experience.
This made him hesitate.
After all, the Mitel family, as one of the three major families in the Gamma Empire, had a profound influence throughout the empire.
If he had been confident before that he could deal with Lady Ya Fei and then escape, now he had much less confidence.
Because the consequences of killing a chief of the auction house and a member of the Mitel family were entirely different.
The fierce young man's heart raced, his mind racing.
As a bodyguard for the Mitel Auction House, he knew very well the influence the Mitel Auction House had in the Gamma Empire.
If he really tried to escape, he wouldn't stand a chance, after all, he was just a mere one-star combat master.
Lady Ya Fei saw the fierce young man hesitate, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he hesitated, there was room for reversal.
This was something she had learned over the years, honing her sharp gaze.
Just as Lady Ya Fei was preparing her words, the fierce young man suddenly glanced at the chubby figure he had kicked into the corner.
A cunning plan emerged in his mind.
"Heh, I have to thank Lady Ya Fei for the reminder, but I've already figured out a solution."
The fierce young man suddenly chuckled, "As long as I disguise myself a bit, make it look like it was this Master Oba who defiled you, by the time I arrived, it was too late, and in a fit of rage, I killed him."
"Then, I leave behind a letter claiming incompetence in guarding you, fearing punishment, which would clear the relationship completely, leading to a dispute between the Mitel Auction House and the Oba family!"
"Even if I'm eventually exposed, it will buy me enough time to escape."
"Lady Ya Fei, what do you think of my plan?"
The fierce young man grinned evilly, his eyes keenly catching Lady Ya Fei's panic, delighting in it.
Thinking that he could finally dominate Lady Ya Fei, have her beneath him, he was excited beyond measure.
Outside the alley, Xiao Ze and Xiao Xuner exchanged glances. Xiao Ze couldn't help but say, "This guy not only has a lecherous heart but also a lecherous mind!"
"Brother Xiao Ze, should we intervene? It seems like there's really no one coming to help in this remote place."
Seeing that Lady Ya Fei had not been harmed, they continued to wait, hoping that someone else would pass by to rescue her.
If it wasn't necessary, they really didn't want to reveal themselves.
Indeed, the fierce young man had been all talk until now.
It seemed like he was enjoying Lady Ya Fei's panic and nervousness, probably because he had never seen the noble and calm Lady Ya Fei in such a state before.
"If no one else intervenes, then we'll have to," Xiao Ze shrugged, his soul perception confirming that no one had passed by. He sighed helplessly.
He moved subtly, sneaking towards the alley.
Xiao Xuner remained in place. She was only at the ninth stage of Qi, and participating in a battle involving combat masters would only hold Xiao Ze back.
As for Xiao Ze, Xiao Xuner wasn't worried.
Although Xiao Ze was only a Nine-Star Combatant, his displayed combat power was somewhat different from his realm.
Xiao Ze had even neutralized a blow from a Great Combatant without a scratch.
If necessary, Xiao Xuner could also ask Elder Ling to intervene.
In the alley, the fierce young man looked at Lady Ya Fei's panic, feeling extremely pleased.
He wanted to peel away layer by layer of Lady Ya Fei's calm and noble exterior, revealing her panicked and vulnerable side before him!
"Now, it's finally time to enjoy..."
The fierce young man smirked and reached out his hand, Lady Ya Fei's body trembling slightly, as if imagining her future fate, her eyes moist.
At the same time, she felt some regret. Why did she have to wait until they were in this remote place?
If she had exposed Master Oba's tracking earlier, perhaps someone would have passed by to rescue her by now.
Lady Ya Fei closed her eyes in despair, but then stubbornly opened them again.
Even if she were to die, she didn't want to die so weakly!
"Yes, keep your eyes open. If you close them, you'll miss out on a lot of fun."
The fierce young man looked into Lady Ya Fei's eyes, speaking with emotion.
Lady Ya Fei's eyes revealed a hint of surprise as she saw a cloaked figure suddenly appear behind the fierce young man!
Just before the fierce young man grabbed Lady Ya Fei's arm, a chilling sense of danger struck his heart.
At the same time, a powerful surge of fighting energy emanated from behind him.
Before the fierce young man could react, he felt a severe blow to his neck and collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
Then, a sharp pain surged into his brain as his head suffered a heavy blow. The next moment, his consciousness plunged into darkness.
"Tsk, he's a bit short. Only managed to hit the neck."
Xiao Ze knocked down the fierce young man and delivered another kick to his head to ensure he was incapacitated. He sighed with relief when he saw the fierce young man stop moving.
Xiao Ze looked up and met Lady Ya Fei's gaze. "Lady Ya Fei, you're safe now," he said.
Lady Ya Fei saw the handsome and youthful face before her, and the tension in her heart finally relaxed. Her legs went weak, and she couldn't help but rush forward.
Xiao Ze's mind was filled with question marks. While "saving the damsel in distress" was a classic move, he didn't expect her to be this forward.
After a moment's consideration, he decided not to dodge. After all, given Lady Ya Fei's speed, if he dodged, he might end up with his face on the ground!
