Besieged by over thirty men, the two damsels who felt fear running through their veins looked desperate. It seemed like that they realized that they couldn't get away this time.
"If we get caught, we would rather die than stay alive.
And it seems to me that we have no other choice but to take our own lives.
Are you afraid, Debby?" Emma asked in her softest tone.
At the same time, she warmly held Debby's hand to keep her calm despite the obvious unrest they were both facing.
"Of course, I'm not afraid," Debby replied firmly.
Determination reflected in her eyes.
"But before I die, I'll kill one of these bastards,"
she added.
Emma nodded in agreement because it was clear to her that her sister wouldn't back down.
"You're assholes. All you do is bully the weak. We're not afraid of you," Emma shouted at the lewd men.
The two maidens glared angrily at those men, each holding a sharp sword with blood stains.
Obviously, they just had been in a tense fight.
"Turns out the two bitches are quite stubborn. Seems like they need someone to teach them how to be obedient,"
said the short man who was in-charge, as he was laughing obscenely while surveying the two fierce women in front of him.
"Boss, you will have a chance to tame the two loose women tonight. Ha-ha..."
"You're right. After boss is done, we can continue to teach them the lesson they should have learned a long time ago."
Those men aggressively burst into laughter, as if they took delight in assaulting women.
The other people along the street just stood far away from the two fearless women and observed their next move. It seemed like they were afraid of those hooligans.
As they faced the insulting remarks, the two maids felt kind of humiliated yet annoyed.
"I won't let you go, you son of a bitch," Emma huffed.
Narrowing her eyes to focus on the enemy better, she proudly wielded her sword at the short man.
In a heartbeat, she released sharp and powerful sword intents meant not only to scare but to actually injure the lewd man.
Austin could tell that the two damsels had already reached the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
'Emma has mastered level 7 sword intent. Apparently she is skillful at swordsmanship.
But that short man is at the preliminary stage of Master Realm, ' Austin thought to himself.
Watching as Emma's sword came at him, the man looked composed, never moving even an inch. He stretched out his hand of vital energy casually, ready for anything that might come his way.
The next minute, he successfully destroyed all the sword intent Emma had released. More so, he was able to snatch her sword and crushed it to pieces.
"You're too weak. How are you going to kill me?" the short man said dismissively.
He suddenly pulled Emma into his arms without her consent.
Unable to move because of the trauma being held, Emma had despair painted all over her face.
She initially planned to commit suicide before being captured so she wouldn't experience maltreatment or even death in the hands of another person.
However, her opponent was so powerful and agile that she had no chance to carry out her plan.
"Emma!" Debby called out loud as she turned pale with worry.
Activating her vital energy, she pulled out her sword and dashed it without hesitation towards the short man.
Austin sensed and intelligently inferred that Debby had indeed comprehended level 6 sword intent.
Staring at the woman who exhibited such daring attack, the short man laughed in sarcasm. He gathered his vital energy in his restless hand and in a snap of a finger, took the sword away from Debby's firm grip. Before she could get her weapon back, it was already shattered, and just as swift as how her sword was taken was a hand already clutching on her shoulder to prevent her from running away.
"Come on, guys, let's get out of here," the short man instructed with an arrogant gesture.
Since he had gotten what he wanted, he had no other reason to stay.
"Ahem!
Hey, guys, it's rude to treat ladies like this. What do you say?" expressed a man looking in his early thirties.
He was one of the speculators.
Slowly, he made his way towards the short man.
The middle-aged man from the crowd was no other than Austin.
He had altered his appearance using the Appearance-transforming Clothes.
"Who are you, sir?
We're from the Wolf Gang. You best stay out of this,"
the short man who wasn't used of being meddled with threatened sternly.
