Say Goodbye
"I do not care if you are from the army or someone's lapdog...BUT...you are not allowed to touch them. Not even a hair or a single strand of hair on their head. Otherwise, otherwise..." Lilian Mo smiled dangerously at him as she trailed off. She did not need to continue. Nathan Yang was not naive as he also got the message.
"I get it. Now get off me." Nathan Yang grabbed her leg and tried to push her off but he found that it did not even budge. He was stunned because he used a great deal of his own strength but found that it was useless because he felt like the leg on his chest was as heavy as lead and metal.
At this point, he was thinking of all sorts of possibilities. Cleanliness, good hygiene, and even skin that was still quite fair despite the ever-changing weather of hot and cold... These things were obviously a sign of strength. Afterall, it takes a lot of skills to maintain one's optimal health and appearance during a time of chaos and danger.
He spoke too soon. These teenagers--no, these people are not normal.
"Are you a strength ability user?"
"None of your business, lapdog."
"Hoho... Lilian Mo, if the General heard you, he'd only laugh."
"I wouldn't care since I don't know him."
"You..." Nathan Yang has no words for the girl's rudeness. But then, he also knows that he brought about this rudeness due to his impulsive actions.
"Momo, calm down." Mu Qingqing immediately clutched on Lilian Mo's arm, feeling apprehensive when she saw Lilian Mo's murderous eyes. Mu Qingqing had never seen her make that kind of expression before. She was usually indifferent even when she killed mutants as if she was doing an everyday chore but seeing the scary look on her face, Mu Qingqing was scared.
She did not want Lilian Mo to become like this. "Momo, don't get mad anymore. He won't be able to hurt us. He is still Zhou Yang's brother. If he tries anything then... I'll be the one to protect you!"
Lilian Mo clenched her fists. She looked at Nathan Yang and raised her hand. Nathan Yang's eyes did not waver. Perhaps, because of his rich military background and experience, nothing fazes him even more. This caused Lilian Mo's hand to shake. She gave a direct punch in his face before getting off of him.
Nathan Yang felt his head spin when the punch collided. He would describe it as a solid metal hand kissing the side of his face and making his whole brain and bones rattle.
"Do that again and you can say goodbye to your precious 'Little Zhou' AND your twin."
Nathan Yang was still dizzy but he went back to reality as soon as he heard the threat. His own eyes became cold. When it came to his siblings, he was very sensitive and protective of them.
He found that he did not like this girl. If not for General Mo, he wouldn't even be here, talking to them.
He pursed his lips and did not say anything. He ignored the ache on his cheek. He knew it would bruise but he did not care. What he cared about was that he got punched in the face by a sixteen-year-old kid. No man or adult would be happy about this situation but at the moment, he would not retaliate because he still has a mission and it was to bring Lilian Mo to General Mo safely.
No matter how much he dislikes the girl and no matter how much he wanted to retaliate, he had to be patient. When they reach the base, he would challenge her to a match and pay back the humiliation he suffered.
Nathan Yang stood back and dusted his clothes off as if nothing happened. He was a very good-looking man but the growing bruise on his cheek made him look very dangerous.
Lin Jiaojiao who had been put at a tight spot when the knife was thrown had just composed herself and was holding Zhang Youji's hand. The child was just as equally scared as her and was hugging her arm, trembling in fright.
Nathan Yang frowned. It was time for him to do his job.
"General Mo is waiting for you at the base. It is five hours away from here. We have a spare truck downstairs. Gather your teammates and we'll leave immediately. If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them as long as it isn't something confidential. Of course, you can't refuse to come. I made a promise and I intend to keep it. You only need to meet the General, after that, even if you leave, it's no longer my business. You're welcome to do what you want after seeing General Mo."
Lilian Mo looked at him coldly. They weren't allowed to refuse?
"I could kill you right now."
Nathan Yang placed a hand over his gun.
"And I don't mind dying but not before taking one of you with me." His lips lifted to one side, a cold light in his eyes.
He wasn't lying.
"We can try to find out who is faster. Mind you, I'm a sharpshooter and I've scored a high rating back in the days I was under training. Ah, but we can talk like civilized people, Lilian Mo. Your choice."
