Twice the Harm

There were many more potted cacti than before when Sun Dahai climbed over the wall. Thorns and barbs pricked and pierced, catching Tian Yong and Tian Gang off guard as they landed face-first in the potted cacti below. As one would have it, their fate was worse than Sun Dahai's.

Unprepared, the duo nearly screamed in pain. Their quick reactions - stuffing their hands in their mouths - stopped them from giving themselves away. Whether or not their reactions were for better or worse was debatable. Needle-like leaves pricked their hands and faces, piercing flesh in both areas alike.

However, the one difference that set them apart from Sun Dahai was that they were professionals. Even if they were stabbed, they knew to endure the pain in silence; it would not do to alert their victims to their presence. The pain sharpened their determination to make the Su family suffer. Only by vetting their resentment for the injuries suffered would they have vengeance.
