The woman walked seductively towards him and squatted down by his side. She extended her slender hand towards the mask on his face and spoke in a clear and charming voice.
"Come, let me see what you look like, you son of a bitch."
Cheyenne's fingertips barely touched the edge of his mask. Her tender finger lifted a corner of the mask to reveal the face underneath the mask.
Both pairs of eyes fell upon the mask simultaneously... A slightly tense atmosphere permeated the air, and Cheyenne stared fixedly, her curiosity growing stronger by the second.
In an instant, Aidan struggled and kicked over the nearby coffee table, causing the beer bottles on top to fall and make a loud noise, attracting the attention of people outside.
"What happened?"
A rough and angry voice came from outside the door.
Inside the room, taking advantage of Kelvin's momentary distraction, Aidan suddenly took out a short knife from his robe and stabbed towards Kelvin's neck.
Suddenly, Cheyenne couldn't help but exhale lightly and screamed, "Watch out!"
Aidan's strike was forceful, indicating that he had undergone training. Fortunately, Kelvin reacted quickly, reaching out his large and sturdy hand to grasp the blade. The sharp edge cut into his palm, blood streaming out.
Splattering onto his black suit, a hint of eerie red spread into the dense black.
"Quick, something happened inside."
Bang!
The wooden door was kicked open by someone, and over a dozen men dressed in black robes, holding knives and hidden weapons, rushed in, surrounding Cheyenne and Kelvin in the middle.
Meanwhile, he was still grappling with Aidan.
"Capture them quickly!" Aidan ordered his men.
The group of people, fierce and menacing, wielding weapons, attacked the two, and amidst the crowd, another man in a black robe shouted, "Kill the man, capture the woman alive, we need her!"
"Yes!"
Oh no, these people were after her.
Cheyenne quickly calmed herself and raised her fair chin as she walked to Kelvin. She intentionally lowered her voice and whispered in his ear.
"They're here to capture me, and they won't hurt me for now. I'll distract them, and you should take the opportunity to escape."
But when Kelvin heard her words, his gaze turned cold, his forehead wrinkling as he resolutely refused her.
"I am a man!"
How could he abandon her alone and escape in such a critical moment?
Cheyenne glanced at him with her eyes and her red lips curled slightly. "If you die here, no one will take care of your beloved Miss Berry. Mr. Foley, you better not show off your bravery anymore. Even if you die trying to save me, I won't feel the slightest gratitude!"
With that, her hand slowly moved to her leg, lifting a corner of her silver short skirt to reveal fair and tender skin.
On that slender thigh, there was a bronze-colored dagger tied. Cheyenne drew the dagger, swiftly removing the sheath, as if preparing to strike.
"Go, quickly."
Her voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.
Kelvin's heart trembled. He tightly grasped Cheyenne's other soft hand but calmly looked into her eyes and said something unrelated.
"She is not my beloved, never has been."
Unfortunately, the group of men in black robes had already charged forward. Cheyenne had no time for him. Gripping the dagger tightly, she rushed forward.
Only a vague sentence reached Kelvin's ears. She said, "If I'm unfortunate enough to be captured, go find Master Iker to save me. Hurry, go!"
Kelvin cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"
