Chapter 8 Leon Green's Fear
Ten minutes later, Scarlett Mond had taken Jayna Brown far away enough when they stopped to gasp for air. Jayna Brown's face bore signs of tears while Scarlett Mond's eyes were very complicated seeing the man who hurt Jayna Brown five years ago appeared out of nowhere. But he was too impulsive to maim Anton Green whose family would never go easy on him.
Jayna Brown bent her waist and pressed both hands on her knees, gasping for air. Suddenly, tears rushed out her eyes. All she could think now was how Iwan Cliff appeared in front of her when she was desperate. What's more, Iwan Cliff told her Emily had been rescued. However, he himself was being trapped...
"Scarlet, do you think...he will be ok?" Her head hung down and her eyes full of pain, Jayna Brown asked Scarlett Mond.
Scarlett Mond was feeling even more complicated in her heart. From her own perspective, now that Jayna Brown and Emily were both safe, why would they care about Iwan Cliff? But on a second thought, she had to admit that Iwan Cliff showed unprecedented courage when he stood out to confront with the Green's on his own, which no normal people would do.
Scarlett Mond stayed silent for a moment before she spoke, ignoring Jayna Brown's question,"Jayna, don't worry. He must know what he was doing. Besides, he seemed to be a very agile warrior who had joined the military before. If so, the military headquarter might interfere too. You should stop worrying and find Emily as soon as possible, then get out of here..."
Jayna Brown bit her lips and said,"But...But if we leave him behind, what will happen to him?"
Scarlett Mond gritted her teeth and said,"Relax, my father will be back at home tomorrow morning, I will ask him to help negotiate with the Green's and get this conflict solved. Now take Emily with you and leave. It's better not to let Emily see what's going to happen. She's so young and might get scared. I think this is what Iwan Cliff want too. Don't let him down..."
Just as Jayna Brown wanted to continue saying something, a military SUV abruptly stopped in front of them. The car window went down and Warrior No.1 appeared. He said to Jayna Brown,"Ma'am, please get in. Emily's here. She had just got some fluids. I was asked to send you to Pasoland City. Hurry up, we must keep you and Emily safe..."
Jayna Brown looked at Warrior No.1 for a second, then at Emily who was sleeping peacefully on the back seat. Tears streamed down her face. Emily was here, but her father was being surrounded right now. She had no idea what is the correct choice for her.
"The daughter had just met her father, but they had to part again?" Jayna Brown's heart was broken.
Scarlett Mond shook Jayna's hand firmly and said,"Jayna, go on, don't worry, I'm still here. I promise you I will ask my father for help. Now stop thinking too much. Emily needs you. Actually, it's not helpful for you to stay here or it might get worse, go on..."
Warrior No.1 also nodded and said, "Ma'am, please get in quickly. Emily is weak and she needs good care. She had got very frightened these days. She needs you..."
Jayna Brown kept silent for a little longer and decided to get in the car. She sat down and carefully held Emily in her arms. Then she looked at Scarlett Mond through the window and pleaded, "Scarlet, you must help him, please help him..."
Scarlett Mond nodded seriously and said,"Sure, don't worry, I will. You are my bestie, my only friend!"
Warrior No.1 started the engine and nodded at Scarlet, then accelerated to leave the town. Warrior No.1 was driving silently and Jayna Brown was sobbing, holding Emily in her arms.
"Well..." Warrior No.1 sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that Jayna and Emily were perfectly safe ever since Iwan Cliff returned. But he had followed Iwan Cliff for many years and understood that he was filled with hatred in his heart and about to lose control now. Iwan wanted to keep Jayna Brown and Emily away only because he didn't want them to see anything bloody or whatever was going to happen...
Anyone who dared to abuse the wife and daughter of the Lord of Heaven Domain was asking for death! Iwan Cliff would not spare them. No way! Even death would have been too kind for them!
Warrior No.1's eyes got cold and he kept driving on. He had to complete his mission...
...
By now, Iwan Cliff was being surrounded by hundreds of the Green family while Anton Green was howling on the ground besides his feet. Leon Green sneered and slowly said,"It's been ten minutes. The two women were far gone. Shouldn't you let go of my niece now?"
