Chapter 25 - Where did the dream go?

Qian Jin kept holding on and refused to live even though thousands of dead angels were standing before him in form of humans.

The torn shirt was dripping in blood, as another punch from his iron-fisted hand made two men fall. The first was bruised as ran his eyes around just to find the expression of Su Manning turning pale and anxious. He guessed the third batch of his men was last.

He had to hold one but his body continuously refused his will of the heart. It was not only a physical fight but mentally as well he had to win against his cut and bruised flesh. His fatigue was trying to take over him, But he stood there trying to dodge the attacks as long as he could.

"Where the heck is the manager of this hotel????" He wondered as no one was arriving to rescue or help.

His neck turned to check up on his cousin, Qian Mu, and Dongmei, but he saw them twice at once. They looked like two pairs, he shook his head and looked again to notice his cousin crying loudly, but his voice could not be heard because of the attacks he had to face.

Soon a man appeared in front of his eyes and now they looked six to him. He could somehow recognize the man who was standing beside his cousin and Dongmei's, rubbing his temples with the nozzle of a pistol.

SMASHED!!!

Qian Jin was about to yell at the man to warn him but something smacked his head, He could no longer hold on and fainted. The evil smiles on Lin Xie's well-built men celebrated victory over the man who refused to give up after several injuries.

"Your Daddy! He is now gone for the good kid." He scorned the little boy Mumu who was trembling in fear. There was just one thought crossing his mind, "This is worse than my father's house."

Lin Xie kicked the little boy slightly as he squatted down, turning his head toward Dongmei whose face was half covered with her hair. He moved her back with his gun and indecently glared at her mother looks too young to have a bastard like you."

"I guess your father couldn't hold his desire before a minor."

"Now I think what would happen if Qian Jin dies."

"Her beauty will be wasted."

"I shouldn't let that happen. right?" He glanced at the boy who could not get up and was continuously shedding tears.

"Hey! Qian Jin's mistress! get up! Play with me! or your son won't live."

He kept poking her head ruthlessly for a while, then repeated himself, "Qian Jin's mistress, I will kill this kid if you don't play with me."

"Think! what will happen if your husband doesn't get up."

He poked her cheeks again, Dongmei opened her eyes wide and gave a cold, resentful stare at the man who mocked her, "Finally, you are awake from your beauty sleep."

"Come play with...." He was repeating himself when Dongmei punched his face. Lin Xie groaned and fell backward, losing his balance.

"Is that the only option for a woman to survive?"

Dongmei crawled closer to the man who was annoyingly rubbing his nose which had started bleeding. "If so, Lin Xie you got me wrong."

"How dare you bully my Bai An?" Lin Xie was stunned to hear a familiar name.

"She knows me??"

"Bai An??" He said in his heart guessing the woman in front of her to be nobody else but his fiancee Bai Dongmei. But he was puzzled, the boy is was referring to as Bai An wasn't her brother.

He knew how her brother looked and he wasn't him. But to make sure he wasn't mistaken, he turned to the boy who was soaked in streams of tears.

"Are you Bai An?" He asked confused.

The boy shook his head and dragged himself by his knees toward Dongmei seeking protection from the Mafia. Dongmei glared at him with boiling anger ready to fry the ribs of her so-called fiance. It was because of him that she had to miss out on all the happiness and sadness that comes from a normal life of a kid growing up with friends.

She had to abandon a normal life of a rich girl was supposed to live. Studying in a prestigious school, studied at an international University, and shopping on holidays with her mother, the richest woman.

Rejecting her secret admirers and dealing with gold-digger friends. Starting off her career or simply choosing a life ideal.

She had experienced nothing, simulation of sports and the in-house cinema and café. Being taught by masters must have been the only way for them to interact with people and know about the people of the outside world until the internet and technology arrived in her life. Her father gave her the latest gadgets and devices to make her life a little interesting.

Her martial arts coach made her battle with the guards of her Mansion, she remembered how painful it was for her to master every skill when she was not talented and had a delicate body.

At that time, when her coach was bidding farewell as she was retiring to her hometown. She told Dongmei a secret, "The skills you learner are from a lost martial art."

"It's Art of Assassination." she handed a book to her secretly since Shouyi used to monitor the masters who taught her daughter strictly.

"I found it from a cave of cultivation."

"Though the cultivation of supernatural powers is a myth."

"But the skills stay true to how they are passed down."

"I am telling you this because God forbid and danger follows you, never use them on anyone."

"Today's world is far different from what it was a thousand years ago, the era from where the book and skill originated."

Words of the coach kept ringing in her ears but she refused to stay the obedient girl she used to be and grabbed her broken hairpin and draw it near the vital point of Lin Xie's neck.

But she stopped. she stopped as a voice screamed inside her heart that said, "He is a life, you have no right to take what was gifted to him by the Almighty."

Lin Xie was terrified by the red eyes of Dongmei that were filled with hatred. Her moves and attacks were his imagination. He had not expected his wife-to-be to have a ferocious side, though he was the first one to experience her first hateful slap at the time when they were almost wedded.

She moved her hand away and threw her hairpin at the man who was holding Qian Jin's leg and was about to throw him inside the pool. It hit the eye of the man who started groaning in pain. He stumbled and fell in the pool instead.

Dongmei grabbed the pistol from Lin Xie's hand and pointed it at him, she could not stand up and struggled, "Ask your men to retreat."
