Jiang Yingcheng froze.
All the children in the courtyard froze, too.
Kui Yang, who had been chasing close behind the little girl, caught his breath, his pupils contracting sharply-
Jiang San had moved far too fast!
And that dagger had sliced clean through the thick stick in the little girl's hands without the slightest effort. One look was enough to tell it was no ordinary blade!
These men had never displayed their skills before them. They had assumed the men could easily crush every act of resistance simply because they were strong and numerous. They had never imagined that all of them knew martial arts!
Just who were they?!
An immense fear suddenly rose in Kui Yang's heart, and he clenched his hands into tight fists.
Jiang San had not moved his feet an inch. He stood lazily in place, taking in every brat's expression-especially the way "Kui Cheng" stared blankly, unable to recover for a long while. A nearly sadistic satisfaction welled up inside him.
Some people, no matter how hard they tried, were destined to remain ants at the mercy of others.
Others were destined to climb to lofty heights!
That secret little thrill even gave him the patience to stand there and wait for the little girl to come back to her senses.
In a corner Jiang San knew nothing about-
[S-so sharp!]
Jiang Yingcheng stared at the short length of stick left in her hands, her eyes full of wonder.
[Don't be scared. Your Uncle Liaochen and the others are nearby. They've heard the commotion and will be here any moment!] Thinking she had been frightened, System Bro hurriedly pulled up a layout of the courtyard to help her devise a plan.
