Chapter 398 Die!
A gush of pain jolted Jiang Yue"s whole body as she felt her whole body being slammed on the wall. She felt how her limps began to weaken as her vision blurred, her eyesight became fuzzy. Then, she felt how her body was thrown away like a rag doll.
"Yue"er!" She heard her mother"s voice. It seemed so far away.
Simon"s strength was something that Jiang Yue never antic.i.p.ated. The wound that she gave him seemed not to affect him at all. She tried to shake awake her ebbing consciousness and jolted up, sitting across Simon who was walking towards her.
"You are no match for me." She heard him say. There was something eerie in his voice. Jiang Yue a.s.sumed that Simon should be a trained a.s.sa.s.sin. Someone specially trained to kill without batting an eyelid.
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at Simon before looking at the gun lying five feet away from her. It was not that far away from Jiang Yue, yet she was sure that if she dashed for it, Simon would easily catch up and might throw her onto the wall again.
On Jiang Yue"s right side w.a.n.g Ruo and Gideon were exchanging blows. She turned her attention to them. This was the first time that she saw her mother in action. Jiang Yue could not deny that w.a.n.g Ruo"s movements were packed with power. They showed that she went through hard training and her mastery in hand to hand combat. She was the exact opposite of Jiang Yue.
Seeing that, Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief, at least she did not need to worry about her mother anymore. Once again, she turned her attention towards Simon before she slowly got up.
"I don"t want to hurt you," he said, standing just a few feet away from her.
"Isn"t it a little too late for that?" She asked, her tone laced with sarcasm. She tried to move her left arm, only to flinch from the pain. Possibly, she had an arm or a rib broken. Just the force of shoving her onto the wall was enough to do that. After all, Jiang Yue"s body was not really muscular and strong to be able to withstand the impact.
"Stop fighting and surrender. I won"t hurt you once you agree to be with us."
"Dream on!" Jiang Yue blurted out before das.h.i.+ng towards Simon. Punches and kicks were thrown, as the two tried to counter each other"s attacks. Blood pooled in Jiang Yue"s mouth as she felt Simon"s fist hit her face. She also watched as Simon gagged when her fist hit his stomach.
Another ten seconds pa.s.sed and Jiang Yue could feel her arms becoming numb as time pa.s.sed by. She was not trained to fight an expert, yet she was doing her best to keep up.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Ruo was also doing her best to counter Gideon"s attacks. Though the latter was sick, he was not giving her any leeway as he used a barrage of kicks in attacking w.a.n.g Ruo.
From time to time, w.a.n.g Ruo glanced at Jiang Yue who was already exhausted.
"Pah!" A loud sound was heard when Gideon"s fist hit w.a.n.g Ruo"s jaw. It instantly made her dizzy. She stumbled on the floor as she shook her head, trying to shake away the pain. Then, she felt how Gideon tackled her, his hands instantly wrapping around her neck.
"Die!" Gideon snarled, his eyes were swollen and red, as he clenched his jaws in anger. He must kill this woman. That was what she deserved for taking Li Jun away from the Li Family… from him.
w.a.n.g Ruo tried to overpower Gideon by using her lower body to lock his arms, but to no avail. He was too strong for her. She felt how her body was slowly draining away.
To her surprise, the blackness that she was expecting did not come. A loud thud was heard. She seemed to see Gideon being thrown away on the floor.
"Cough"
"Cough"
"Ruo"er are you okay?" She heard Li Qiang"s voice echo. She squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again just to see Li Qiang"s pale face.
"Go… save Jiang Yue… I will take care of him." He said before slowly standing and limping towards Gideon.
w.a.n.g Ruo shook her head and furrowed her brows. She turned her eyes towards Jiang Yue who was also struggling below Simon. Her eyes immediately turned red in anger. "You monster! Get away from my daughter!" She bellowed before running towards Simon. She immediately threw the man away from Jiang Yue.
"Yue"er! Yue"er! Are you alright?" She asked while helping her daughter up.
"Who…" Jiang Yue did not finish her sentence as she realized that it was Li Qiang who was already fighting Gideon.
She steadied herself as determination spread on her face. Jiang Yue spit another mouthful of blood before looking at w.a.n.g Ruo. Their gazes met as a silent agreement formed between the mother and daughter.
