Super Soldier

Blood Wolf, 34, the second top master in the Dragon Gate, a prodigy of martial arts. He was an apathetic and cruel man who held great hostility for the government.

Before Xiao Bing had become the leader of the Dragon Teeth, Blood Wolf had long been the biggest enemy of the Dragon Teeth because several of the best soldiers in the Special Forces in the Dragon Teeth were killed by him. That was why the Dragon Teeth extremely opposed him when Xiao Bing intended to constrain the killer by building the Dragon Gate. They even tortured him savagely, though Xiao Bing survived and his strength was not affected. However, the inner injury still lingered in his body, and finally, to save his life he had to choose to seal most of this power.

After his strength had been sealed for four months, the inner injuries didn"t recur.

Xiao Bing had not expected that it would be him. The scenes when he was carrying on a mission in Africa swam up before his eyes. His enemy at that time was a notorious terrorist organization, which had always precisely predicted the invincible Dragon Gate"s next plan.

“This terrorist organization is capable of that?” Xiao Bing did not believe it. And according to this photo, Xiao Bing surmised that possibly it was Mr. Buddha who was backing the terrorists up. And now, he knew the traitor in the Dragon Gate was Blood Wolf.

Blood Wolf…

Xiao Bing faintly felt his heart aching. He broke up with the Dragon Teeth and nearly died during the torment for this Blood Wolf, who was just found to be a traitor.

Xiao Bing put the photo back inside and said calmly, “Xiaoxiao, you should go home and take care of auntie. I will avenge your sister.”

If Su Xiaoxiao was younger, she would have asked millions of question. But this time she didn"t because she sensed Xiao Bing"s faint melancholy.

Watching the car leaving at an absurd speed, Su Xiaoxiao suppressed her curiosity and went home. Ye Xiaoxi sat beside Xiao Bing while watching him worriedly. She didn"t like to see Xiao Bing this painful and unhappy because it made her share the same feelings.

The two arrived at the riverside where Xiao Bing had first taken Su Xiaoxiao to fly. There were still lots of people roaming by the riverside while a chill wind was blowing. Xiao Bing clenched his fists tightly and suddenly howled. Startled by his deafening howl, the bystanders who were close to him all ran well away from him and stopped, curious about what happened.

Sadness, anger, agony, and guilt were all in his howl. Ye Xiaoxi felt the tears stinging her eyes as she clutched Xiao Bing"s hands tightly.

Finally, Xiao Bing stopped howling. His eyes were reddened. Ye Xiaoxi asked while holding Xiao Bing"s big hands firmly, “Brother Bing, you know these two people?”

“The second-in-command in the organization, Blood Wolf.”

Blood Wolf, one could tell that he was a man of cruelty by his name. But Ye Xiaoxi discerned that the brotherhood between them was enormous.

Ye Xiaoxi sighed. “I know being betrayed is heart-breaking. But you shouldn"t blame it on yourself.”

“I know.” Xiao Bing managed a wry smile, which almost broke Ye Xiaoxi"s heart. “But you don"t know that almost everyone disagreed with my decision to grant him membership into the Dragon Gate or how hard it was for me. What he had done was completely unacceptable to my brothers, who even had made some terrible mistakes. But he was supposed to be a kind person. Given his powerful strength, he could have done many good deeds for the country if he had forsaken his evilness and returned to the right path.

“I was wrong… I had never expected that he would align with my enemy. I should have known it when that terrorist organization had always predicted what I would do next. But I really wish that it wasn"t true.”

“What do you want to do then?”

“One must pay the price if he"s made a mistake. This time, Blood Wolf did a mistake, and so did I. I lost my closest friend and Blood Wolf shall lose his life. I will kill him myself, though I very much don"t want to…”

Xiao Bing took a deep breath, then continued, “If it weren"t for me, maybe Peiya would still be alive. Yezi, if I wouldn"t be missing you so much, I would rather…”

“Don"t ever say that!” Yezi hugged Xiao Bing. “I know you"re feeling guilty for Su Peiya. But it is not your fault. You are the farmer who saved that treacherous snake. But it is all because you have a gentle heart. Even the Buddha cut his flesh to feed the hawk. Few men are capable of that. They just have different endings.”

Xiao Bing smiled sadly. “I did something terrible. I can"t be compared to the Buddha.”

Yezi said, “Brother Bing, do you know what? I can hear your heart being broken into pieces when I press my ear against your chest. I don"t want you to be like that.”

“Alas.” Xiao Bing sighed. He put his hands around Yezi and gradually sat down on the ground. “Just sit here with me,” said Xiao Bing calmly.

Xiao Bing and Ye Zi sat silently beside the riverside and the two didn"t talk even after there were no other people. The sadness around them could easily be discerned.

Xiao Bing trusted Blood Wolf and he overrode all objections and kept the killer alive. He even risked his life when he insisted on the cancellation of Blood Wolf"s wanted notice. He did not know it was right or wrong.

The night became darker as the two had been sitting there for a long time. Xiao Bing looked at the starry sky. There was bewilderment in his eyes. He gave a huge smile to Yezi. “It"s getting late. Let"s go home.”

Xiao Bing smiled, yet it saddened Yezi more greatly than when he was crying. She knew that Xiao Bing buried his sorrow deeply in his heart because he didn"t want her to be worried about him.

Xiao Bing wouldn"t say it and neither would Yezi. She was a clever and considerate girl who would never make her man feel awkward.

Then the two went home. Xiao Bing could not go to sleep for the whole night. Noticing that Xiao Bing was sleepless, Yezi was there for him, huddling up to his chest.

They both opened their eyes the next morning. Xiao Bing felt extremely guilty when he found the girl"s eyes studded with blood streaks. His guilt over his dead friend became torture for the living girl he loved most.

“Yezi, I"m sorry.”

Yezi arched her cute nose and smiled. “Silly boy, what are you talking about?”

“Alas, I still can"t let go of it.”

“I know. You still feel guilty.”

“Yes. I know Peiya is already gone. But I shouldn"t make you suffer along with me.”

Yezi looked at this man with her curious eyes and said, “Am I not your woman? There"s no ‘should" or ‘should not" between us.”

Xiao Bing held Yezi tightly and said gravely, “Yezi, I have been thinking all night. Besides the guilt I have for Peiya, I also feel worried about you.”

“Worried about me?”

“You will always be in danger when you are with me. Blood Wolf doesn"t know I"m here and I can"t go to him for vengeance. Before my I restore my strength, all I can do is wait patiently. Blood Wolf is a powerful prodigy in martial arts. And he"s a patient man who has caused the Chinese government many troubles. He"s the most dangerous wanted man. If he finds me, I"m afraid that you all will be in danger.”

Yezi said, “But he has not found you yet. You once said that except for you, the members of the Dragon Gate don"t know much about each other. Since Blood Wolf doesn"t know that Peiya lived in Jiang City, you can just stay here.”

“China is a big country. It is difficult for him to find me if I really want to hide myself. However, there"s an upcoming war between the Long family and Master Hou. I"ll be involved as long as I"m still in this city. This war will definitely draw much unnecessary attention and it"ll hard for Blood Wolf to not notice it,” Xiao Bing said sternly.

“What should we do then?” asked Yezi fretfully.

Xiao Bing replied, “Blood Wolf is a brutal killer. There"s nothing he can"t do if he truly turns against me. You will probably be involved… I think we"d better break up.”

“No!” Yezi bellowed. She opened her eyes wide. She felt the tears stinging her eyes. She wrenched away from Xiao Bing"s chest and slapped this man. “My father, my brother, and my sister are all gone. You are all that"s left for me. You think it"s good for me as long as I"m not involved? But you know what? It"s just another word for abandonment, and I don"t want to be abandoned again.”

Xiao Bing was taken aback as tears trickled down from Yezi"s eyes. “I don"t care about death. I just want to be with you, and you with me. That"ll be enough for me. What kind of a girlfriend would I be if you always pushed me away when you encounter danger?”

Xiao Bing unexpectedly found himself at a loss for words upon hearing what this girl said.

“You have already done it once, and you still want me to leave you a second time? If that"s the case, what"s the point of us being together? What"s the point of our relationship or marriage? A one-night stand would be better then.”

Xiao Bing put this emotional girl in his arms. Yezi wept and her tears dampened Xiao Bing"s clothes. Xiao Bing apologized, “Yezi, I"m sorry… I should never have said it. Please don"t cry.”

“Will you still cast me aside?”

“I"ll never ask you to leave or let you leave me. I"ll always be by your side.”

“Don"t ever forget what you just said. We will live together and die together.”

Xiao Bing was deeply touched upon hearing Yezi"s words.
