YOU. ARE. ALL. DEAD!

"What is the meaning of this?" August asked sharply. His tone was friendly in the slightest.

The four men chuckled while eyeing the car behind August.

"We came to invite the lady of the yeaga family for a brief visit" One of them stepped toward August and said with a laugh. He wore a sleeveless top and tattered black pants. His arms had bulging muscles and veins were visible along those muscles. His huge body which looked menacing and intimidating towered over August.

"You can leave the address to me. We will go there ourselves" August instantly rejected. There was no way they were just inviting them for a visit. Who would forcefully invite a guest to their home? The fact that they already knew who was inside the car and that they had been waiting here for a while now showed that they had impure intentions.

"Sorry, but we can't leave without the guest. Even if we have to be forceful about it, we need to complete this mission" The man shook his head with a grin.

A glint flashed past August's eyes and without warning, he lunged at the man in front of him. This was expected by the four men, and because of the distance between them, they were able to react in time to this.

The man in front crossed his arms in front of his chest with a smirk on his face. He was prepared to give August a fine beating before abducting Emily.

His eyes widened in shock the moment August's punch connected with his arms.

The force was so strong that he staggered backward and a stinging pain could be felt cursing through his arms.

"F*ck! This bastard is not a head guard for nothing indeed" The man cursed out. He felt that his bones would crack if they received another punch like that. Now he knew why their boss told them to be wary of this so-called head guard, he alone was no March for August.

"Boys, attack him altogether. 50 dollars for whoever delivers the knockout hit!"

Instantly, August was in the middle of a gang up by four huge men. He tried his best to block the fists and kicks that were coming at him from all sides.

He had no chance to counterattack as a punch would be aimed at his head the instant he tried to attack one of them.

He was only able to hold them off for a few minutes of constant defense when a kick collided with his nape, making his vision blur for a moment, but this short moment was enough for the four men to land a few more punches on his body and August was soon laying on the floor, unconscious.

"Hey! The bitch is getting away" One of the men shouted suddenly. The remaining three jolted and swiftly turned in the direction of the car, only to find Emily running away in the direction of the shopping center.

If she was able to make it, it would be incredibly difficult for them to complete their mission as they could not just abduct a pregnant woman in presence of so many people.

"Quick, after her!" 

They rushed after her as if their lives were at stake.

Since she was pregnant, Emily was not able to run as quickly as she used to. So it was not a surprise that they soon caught up with her before dragging her back to the car.

"Better behave yourself, Mrs. Yeaga, don't make us hurt you" The man in sleeveless top warned sternly. He seems to be the leader of the four-man group as he was always the one giving orders.

"You know my identity, yet still have the guts to threaten me? Are you tired of living?" Emily's tone was arrogant and vicious.

She was the lady of the yeaga family, it was normal for her to be cold and oppressive sometimes. They were planning to kidnap her but did not want to cause any harm to her. It could be a direct order from their boss.

"Hehehe. Do you think we are threatening you? That is not a threat, we just don't want your husband to go crazy from knowing his pregnant wife got thrashed by us"

The man in the sleeveless top smirked. He lifted Emily's chin with his fingers and gazed into her eyes deeply. His lust for her is not concealed at all.

Ptui!

Emily spat on his face. The man was shocked but did not flinch. He lifted a part of her purple gown and gently cleaned off the saliva on his face with it.

Emily's face showed disgust at this action but there was nothing she could do.

"What does this have to do with my husband?" She asked in a sharp tone like she was the one holding someone else hostage.

" Your husband is trying to break the balance of the top families, of course, someone has to deal with him. But he would just not listen and is too tricky to deal with, we had no other choice but to take advantage of his weakness. His wife, and his son" 

Emily's eyes suddenly widened at a thought.

" Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on my son, or else you would wish you were dead by the time I'm done with you!" She threatened the man while gritting her.

" Oh, that pretty face who left a while ago? Don't worry too much about him. He is very handsome and has a bright future, the boss's daughter would like him as a plaything. Let's just wait for him so we can all leave together"

He laughed loudly as if he had accomplished something great in his life.

Emily's face grew darker and her eyes were completely bloodshot. The thought of some girl using her son as a plaything made her want to go mad.

"How dare you?" She shouted and then suddenly moved toward him. She gripped his hand that was holding the dress and bit on it viciously.

"Ahh!! You bitch, you asked for it" The man groaned in pain and then pushed Emily down aggressively.

"How dare you talk about my son like that? I'm going to kill you!" Emily shrieked then went for his face.

SLAP!

The man gave Emily a tight slap on the face, the impact sent the pregnant woman rolling a few meters away.

"You must have gone mad already, don't worry, I will help you with that today," He said while walking toward her.

" Calm down boss. She is pregnant, you might kill her!"

"Yeah. She is just a weak woman, no need to be so angry"

The other men tried to stop him from approaching Emily as the woman lay on the floor without moving, but he pushed all of them away.

"Get out of my way, I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"

He walked to where she lay and stared down at her figure "you dare talk about killing me? When you can not even move? Rubbish!" He raised his leg and landed a kick on her small figure, the kick made her body coil, she almost coughed out blood and her vision was hazy; she could lose consciousness at any moment.

YOU. ARE. ALL. DEAD!

A gentle whisper suddenly entered everyone's ears. It was as if the speaker was standing right beside them.

They turned around and saw a teenager standing at the end of the Street.

 His expression was ferocious and grave. An imaginary red and black gloomy aura rose from his body that even the four men could see.

It was as if a giant figure of a skeleton in a gray tattered robe holding a long black scythe with its bone fingers was gazing down at them with empty eye sockets.

They could feel death was just moments away.

"Who is that?" One of the men asked in a trembling voice.

"Is that not the kid that left a while ago? How come he is back so soon?"

" Forget about the time he took to return, why do I suddenly feel cold and why does he look so scary?!"

" We must be hallucinating, he is just one person. Everyone, let's beat him up together, then we are officially done here" Their leader said and the other three nodded.

They turned to Alex, but he was suddenly gone. He was not standing at the end of the street anymore.

"Did he run off?" One of them asked.

They looked around if they would see Alex but nothing.

" Yikes!" Someone suddenly exclaimed and jumped in freight. His eyes were wide open and his hands trembling while he pointed at something behind them.

They all looked over and all of them simultaneously gasped with widened eyes because right behind them was Alex, who was holding Emily in his arms.

Just when did he pass us?!

How is he so fast?!

They all had questions on their minds but no reasonable answer could fit their abnormality.
