Chapter 30
Jiang Chen was stabbed in the thigh by a tribal warrior. Fortunately, he had started to retreat before the opponent could make an all-out effort.
By then, Jiang Chen had retreated almost a mile from the position he had started in so that he wasn’t overwhelmed by the tribal men.
But, there was blood here and there along the way.
Jin Jie wanted to see Jiang Chen’s expression before his death. To her disappointment, he kept a straight face, and there was determination in his eyes.
“How surprising! He hasn’t given up,” Jin Jie murmured to herself.
Not only had he not given up, but he didn’t expect Wind and Cloud’s help anymore. When the fight had just started, he was expecting that Wind and Cloud would come to his rescue soon and that his only job was to hold off the warriors of the Tribe of Thunder.
He could only rely on himself at this moment.
Jiang Chen looked at her pale face and whispered in her ear. Then he went with her in the direction that the Tribe of Thunder had fled towards.
“What are you going to do?”
Jin Jie was filled with fear and regret. She shouldn’t have provoked Jiang Chen.
“Don’t do anything stupid. My father is the leader of the Bloody Hand Gang!”
“Is he? I’m so scared,” Jiang Chen was smiling brightly.
Jin Jie, almost crying, said, “Jiang Chen, it’s my fault. Please forgive me.”
“Only god can forgive you. My job is to send you to him.”
Jiang Chen kept walking with her. Jin Jie sometimes shouted aggressively and sometimes pled for forgiveness.
Jiang Chen kept silent. When he stopped, he suddenly pushed Jin Jie forward.
Jin Jie lost her footing and thought she’d fallen off of a cliff. She was scared out of her wits, but fortunately, after rolling a little bit she finally landed safely. She was completely fine except for some joint pain.
“Jiang Chen! You wait and see! I’ll make the Jiang Mansion pay the price!”
Without the sword near her neck, Jin Jie’s aggressiveness came back instantly.
“You should worry about yourself right now,” Jiang Chen said.
Jin Jie was startled. She looked around and found many eyes looking at her in the darkness.
“This…this is the Tribe of Thunder?” Her voice was shaking.
Jiang Chen was taking revenge on her for what she had done to him.
Jiang Chen was standing on the hill watching, like Jin Jie had watched him under the siege of the tribal warriors.
“Don’t! Jiang Chen! Don’t be so vicious!” Jin Jie was pleading from below.
“Idiot.”
Jiang Chen sneered and turned around. He kept hearing Jin Jie’s screams until he was far away.
Wind, Cloud, and the girl came up to him at that moment.
“Child Chen, we deserve to die!”
Wind and Cloud knelt down. They had conflicted feelings upon seeing Jiang Chen, who seemed to have taken a bath in blood.
It was to their surprise that Jiang Chen had survived. More than that, he had taken care of all of the tribal warriors he was fighting with.
Jiang Chen said, “I can only enhance myself at the moment of life and death. Please take her home.”
Wind and Cloud wouldn’t obey him if he said it on a normal occasion, but the two had just neglected their duty and Jiang Chen had had such a great performance. They didn’t know how to answer him.
“Child Chen…” Cloud thought Jiang Chen was blaming them.
Hardly had he finished his words when Wind shook his head at him.
Then Jiang Chen nodded at the girl and left.
When Jiang Chen was far enough away, Cloud said anxiously, “What are you doing? Will you really leave Child Chen alone?”
“Child Chen needs to take more life-and-death adventures. We will disturb him if we follow him, but if we don’t follow him, he will be in danger. So let’s follow him secretly. Isn’t it a perfect solution?”
“You’re right!” Cloud’s eyes lit up. He pointed at the girl suddenly and felt awkward. “What about her?”
“You take her back first. I’ll leave tracks to guide you along the way.”
“Fine.”
Cloud felt all right with the arrangement and left with the girl.
