Chapter 1359
“Feng De!”
Kieran wasn’t loud, but the ragpicker hiding behind the door looked like was struck by thunder, shivers running throughout his body .
Then, while Eckart and the others cried in shock, a dagger appeared in the ragpicker’s hand and was thrusted at Kieran without a second thought as the ragpicker threw himself forward .
Huu!
Under the lights, the cold glaring dagger caused an air-breaking sound .
When Mei Huasheng had heard the name Feng De, she jolted . And when the ragpicker thrusted a dagger at Kieran, the ex-lady warrior was already reacting to the situation .
She quickly put herself in front of Kieran with her hands before her . She was in an alarmed state and ready to engage the armed ragpicker with her bare hands .
As for being hurt by the dagger?
She never thought about that .
When her instinct drove her in front of Kieran, she forgot everything else, even the fact of Kieran being a con-man in her eyes . Despite everything, she wasn’t just going to watch as Kieran got hurt or died .
A conflicting thought? No!
That was the reason why Kieran disliked working with people like her .
They were really hateful when they hated, but also very likable when they did good .
In conclusion: trouble .
For the likes of Kieran, who always disliked trouble, especially trouble that affected his plans, the dislike for Mei Huasheng in his heart reached a new height .
Of course, Kieran still wouldn’t allow her to be hurt in front of him .
It wasn’t mercy or compassion . It was just that if he allowed things to continue as they were, more trouble would follow .
Her identity destined her to be different .
Maybe Eckart would somehow be able to take care of the problem, but the wasted time was something Kieran couldn’t afford .
So Kieran grabbed the back of her collar with his left hand and pulled backwards while dishing a kick at the ragpicker .
Even without Transcendence [Hand-to-Hand Combat], the Musou [Hand-to-hand Combat] plus the derivative skill Master of Kick Combats wasn’t something a wanted criminal could withstand .
Pak!
Kieran’s right kick tapped against the ragpicker’s wrist that wielded the dagger . After a clear noise, the dagger was disarmed, and before the ragpicker could hold his wrist in pain, Kieran followed up with a left kick after retracting his right foot .
Bang!
A plain kick without any extra technique, it landed fiercely on the ragpicker’s chest, and he flew out as the sound came . The ragpicker landed on the floor of the room, twitching in pain .
Maybe Kieran was extremely weak, the majority of his skills and abilities sealed, but he was still at the peak level of a commoner; not just anyone could withstand his kick, at least not the wanted criminal Feng De .
Feng De fell to the ground without any movement . After Kieran’s left kick landed, he completed a 180 degree turn . His left hand, which held Mei Huasheng before, switched to holding her shoulder to support his movements .
Kieran lowered his head a little, and both of them locked gazes .
Kieran clearly saw the shock and sudden shyness on Mei Huasheng’s face .
She obviously didn’t expect Kieran, who she labeled as a con-man, to have such a good fighting technique .
Criminals could be categorized . Some were good at using their brains while others were good at resolving to violence .
When a criminal had high intellect, having good fighting capabilities would become relatively hard; therefore, the smarter ones solved problems with their planning and thinking .
Going from the same theory, those violent criminals instead relied on their strength to clear obstacles .
Habits were hard to change, but when brain and muscle converged…
Mei Huasheng’s heart skipped a beat when she thought of the possibility, then…
There was no ‘then’ after that .
Kieran removed his hand from Mei Huasheng, thus catching her off guard and sending her falling on the floor hard .
Bang!
Dust flew, and Kieran turned to Eckart .
“Call the police,” said Kieran .
“O-Okay!”
Eckart nodded in a dazed state before taking out his phone to dial the number .
Eckart wasn’t to blame because everything before his eyes happened too fast for him to comprehend anything .
The director never thought the urban myth that scared everyone would turn into a wanted criminal case in a matter of seconds .
Eckart didn’t react properly, and neither did the lighting man and cameraman . They looked at the scene blankly, and only after Eckart finished calling the police did the two of them finally stand up and adjust the lights and camera .
It was then that they realized Kieran was going up to the third floor without their knowing .
Isn’t it over?
Why is he still going up?
Confused, both the lighting man and cameraman chased Kieran .
Eckart also began to follow but was stopped by Mei Huasheng, who climbed up from the floor .
Frowning, Eckart looked at the officer with slight dissatisfaction .
Even though he admired her courage for standing in front of Kieran to block the dagger, it didn’t mean he would give up on his duty, even if… he was a temporary host .
“What’s wrong?” Eckart said with dissatisfaction .
“Call the ambulance,” Mei Huasheng replied in a similar tone .
No one would feel good when thrown to the ground .
That went for Mei Huasheng, as well, despite her battle instincts protecting her weak spots during the fall .
After raising Kieran’s danger level to a new height in her heart, she recalled the unnatural reaction just now . Obviously, the memories worsened her mood .
Huu, huu!
Her breaths ran faster, and her fists unconsciously clenched tighter .
“What are you trying to do?”
Eckart moved back after he felt the change in Mei Huasheng .
He knew the details regarding this woman before his eyes . She may look normal, but she had lingered around the verge of death many times .
Once he thought about the lives lost in her hands, Eckart couldn’t help but feel nervous .
“I don’t have a phone . ” Mei Huasheng then ran up to the third floor .
Eckart was stunned again . He never thought Mei Huasheng would explain, and he also never thought that she wouldn’t have a phone .
“What are you, some cave woman? Who the hell doesn’t have a phone now a days…”
His rants stopped halfway when he thought of Kieran .
Kieran didn’t have a phone either .
Eckart then somehow also thought of that posture where Kieran held onto Mei Huasheng just now . His vast experience made him exclaim with the click of his tongue .
“Not a bad posture . Little packaging here and there, and boom goes the ratings again . Hmm . Need to work on the editing though . ”
Eckart muttered to himself and took out his phone again .
After the call, Eckart surveyed the dark environment . Once he remembered that there was still a wanted criminal in the room, despite being half dead, it still scared him and he ran with lightning speed up the third floor .
Once he arrived at the third floor, he saw the lighting man and cameraman standing on the stairs .
While Kieran was walking from one end of the corridor to the other .
“What’s wrong? Isn’t it over?”
When Kieran walked past him, Eckart raised his microphone again .
“Over? We are far from over . Something in here tells me this is just the beginning . ”
Kieran shook his head and looked at the stairs behind Eckart .
Gak Tsk, Gak Tsk .
Amidst the screech of the old stairs, a series of footsteps could be heard, coming closer .
Kieran curled his lips into a small grin when he saw the figure emerging from the darkness .
“I knew it was you . ”
