Someone in Honkai, Found a Kiana

"Haha, that's a long story... What is that?"

Lin Nai noticed something.

Blythe was holding a Gatling gun, shouting, "Kid! Times have changed!!!"

"Chinese profanity! Seriously? You even brought out a Gatling gun?!"

Where did you even get that thing?! Is it really reasonable for such a heavy weapon to show up in a plain, unremarkable little town like this?!

"This place really has simple and honest folk..."

"Is this really the time to be complaining about that?"

Chapter 5: Chrysanthemums Wilt, Wounds Abound

"Alright, alright, I give up, let's go."

Lin Nai raised his hands in what looked like a military salute, signaling his surrender.

There was no other way.

He could dodge if that Gatling gun fired, but Kiana and that little girl absolutely couldn't.

It seemed he'd have to find another way later.

"Lin Nai?!"

Kiana realized what was happening and tried to step in front of Lin Nai.

But Lin Nai grabbed her.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I doing... Of course, I'm saving you!" Kiana said matter-of-factly.

Lin Nai pointed at the Gatling gun. "Do you know what that thing is?"

"No."

"..."

No wonder.

In Kiana's eyes, guns were probably like some kind of Heavenly Fire Self-Sacrifice. Not even close in terms of power. So she wasn't afraid at all.

But while she might be fine, they were bringing machine guns. It looked like trouble no matter how you slice it.

Kiana was still too weak.

Lin Nai was too. He didn't even have a shield.

He himself was fine, but Kiana and that little girl who had wandered in were different.

"Kiana, listen to me. Their target is just me, not you or this child."

"But..."

"Listen to me, take this child and go find her parents, then go back to the hotel and get some sleep, okay?"

"I..."

Kiana wanted to refuse.

Time was short, but Lin Nai was a good person who treated her well, and he was her friend. These people were clearly not good news at first glance. Kiana might not understand much, but it was obvious.

"Be good."

Lin Nai patted Kiana's shoulder and walked towards the group, extending his hands expressionlessly. He let them tie him up.

Kiana clenched her fists, wanting to rush forward and punch their leader. But she couldn't. She lacked the strength. Lin Nai wasn't weak; Kiana had known for days that the boy wasn't ordinary. The invincible strength of the Kaslana family was useless against Lin Nai. So seeing Lin Nai's serious expression, Kiana knew that now... at least for her, she couldn't do anything... She could only watch as Lin Nai was taken away, Kiana gritted her teeth and stared intently at the license plate. Then she looked at the little girl behind her and fell silent.

She should listen to Lin Nai now and find the little girl's parents first...

She cast a deep glance at the departing vehicles.

Kiana clenched her small fists. She would find Lin Nai and rescue him!

After a long while.

Lin Nai was brought to an empty little room and tied to a chair.

Lin Nai squirmed.

[This binding method isn't good.]

Lin Nai: What, you have a better idea?

[Random Skill: Fancy Rope Art]

Lin Nai: Lol.

"Yo, it's you two," Lin Nai said with a chuckle upon seeing the two people guarding him.

Aren't these the two guys with the bruised butts?

The two men scowled and glared at Lin Nai.

Their injuries were still throbbing. If their boss hadn't given a strict order, they would have already tried to kill this kid.

Lin Nai sized the two up. Honestly, if it weren't for the gender difference, he would have called them trash.

Two pieces of trash!

"Hey, sit down,"

Lin Nai said with a hint of mockery.

The two men were hunched over, neither able to sit nor stand comfortably.

Either way, sitting or standing would aggravate their injuries, so they could only endure it.

The two glared furiously at Lin Nai.

If looks could kill, Lin Nai might have already been dismembered.

Lin Nai paid no mind to their glares.

If you're going to make a move against him, you need to think carefully about the consequences.

Everything has a price.

"Speaking of which, is it about time?"

Lin Nai glanced at the time displayed by the system. He had been here for a few minutes.

There shouldn't be anyone else outside.

"By the way, is the soundproofing here good?" Lin Nai strained against the ropes, which couldn't hold him at all.

"Soundproofing? Right, the soundproofing here is great!"

One of them suddenly realized.

The other shook his head: "No, the leader can't see any injuries on the opponent."

"Then, as long as it's somewhere he can't see, wouldn't that be fine?"

"Hiss... That makes sense!"

Thus, the two men who had been harmed by Lin Nai wore malicious expressions.

Lin Nai raised an eyebrow.

No way, you're only thinking of that now?

You're really unqualified to be villains.

As the two approached him, Lin Nai suddenly exerted force, snapping the ropes.

Then, with a swift motion, he grabbed the chair and smashed it onto one man's head.

The other was sent flying by a kick from Lin Nai!

The whole sequence was executed flawlessly!

Both men stumbled back, one clutching his head, the other his stomach.

"How is this possible? We tied you tight enough!!"

"Who knows."

Lin Nai looked at the pineapple-patterned chair and casually tossed it to the ground.

The chair immediately fell apart into a pile of pieces.

Lin Nai looked at the two men in front of him, one fist held at his waist, the other hand extended forward in a palm strike.

"Are you ready?"

"You little brat!!"

"Waaah~~ I'm gonna hit you!!"

Lin Nai punched the other person square in the nose. Blood immediately gushed out, and the person collapsed onto the ground.

Lin Nai: "One move and they're down. What's there to say?"

He glanced at the person who had been dazed from being hit with a chair and was only now recovering.

Lin Nai, completely disregarding any sense of fair play, kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground.

He couldn't even get up.

Seriously, at a time like this, you expect me to play by the rules and wait for you to slowly recover?

Do you think this is some kind of training hall?!

Lin Nai produced a rope from who-knows-where. He then looked at the two people groaning on the ground.

A smile spread across his face.

Heh heh.

And so, not long after.

The two men were hanging from the ceiling by Lin Nai, with two road barriers placed below them.

"Don't struggle too much, okay? If you happen to fall down..."

"Demon! You demon!!!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Chrysanthemums fall, wounds fill the ground~"
