Chapter 715 Doing a favor
The grew darker as the wind picked up. As Yue Ling fell into a peaceful sleep with Lu Tian by her side, the couple were unaware of a specific event taking place far from their home.
"Arrrrgh— Arrgghhh—!!"
In the pitch darkness at the top of a secluded mountain, the moonlight shines down onto a man. His pierce shrieking cry echoes into the night sky. His voice was loud but each sound he made was quickly overlapped by the vast ocean that sends its waves to hit against the mountain.
His skinny figure crawls on the dirt ground with beads of sweat covering his forehead. With each pull of his crawl, a dark trail of blood follows behind.
If Tao Meng were here, he would have felt sympathy for the man as he is Xiao.
"I'm sorry…"
Xiao cries in suffering as tears ran down his cheeks and liquid substance stream down his nose. The arrogant demeanor he had earlier was no longer there as only fear wash inside him.
His movements soon come to a stop when he realizes that he had reached the mountain cliff. Another step and he would fall down the cliff and land in the ocean water.
All the colors on his face pale as he had already died. However, knowing that he might be able to talk his way out, he forces his body to turn around. Even with the pain that penetrated both his knees, he had to try.
As he turns around, he props himself up with his arms while his legs laid loosely on the ground as he could no longer feel them.
In the darkness with the moon now facing him, he could see the outline of four figures. He couldn't see their faces, so it was hard for him to distinguish who he had wronged.
"P-Please… Let me go. I d-don't know what I did, but I'll never cross the line again. Please, I beg of you."
After he returned to Red Moon with Tao Meng and the others, he decided to go to Glory for some drinks. That wasn't the only reason he hired some hooligans to go with him to destroy Fate. However, on his way to Glory, he was suddenly attacked and taken to this unfamiliar mountain with a bag over his head.
The moment he was dragged out of the car, a bullet was sent straight into his right knee. As he tumbles down to his knee, the bag over his leg was yanked off and another bullet pierced his left knee.
Watching the pitiful man cry incoherently, the four silhouettes did not falter in their posture. One of the four men then slowly walks towards Xiao.
"Now you know how to beg for your life?"
Xiao's eyes widen in horror when he saw the man approaching him. He felt a wave of fear far beyond anything he has ever felt wash inside him and he screams.
"Ahhh!! Please, don't kill me! Please! I beg of you!"
"Tsk tsk."
His scream that echoes into the night again made one feel sorry for him, but the man only clicks his tongue as he comes to a stop near Xiao's dead legs.
"For someone who had so full of himself earlier, you sure are a coward now."
Hearing the voice clearer, Xiao's eyes widen intensely. It was dark and the moonlight was behind the man, but he recognized the voice.
"Y-You…"
He stutters the one word before swallow a hard gulp. His eyes shift to scans the other three men and he felt a chill crawl down his spine.
"Bingo."
The man chuckles the foreign word with a snap of his fingers. He reaches inside his pocket and takes out a small square object. He presses a button and a car alarm sounds as the headlights turned on.
