My eyes went wide, looking at the girl who stood there arrogantly. "I wasn't expecting you to be serving in the VIP section. It would be great if you called that other colleague of yours, so I can teach you both a lesson at the sa ti," the girl folded her hands and stood as if she had achieved sothing here.
I snickered at her, "Do you know what you look like? A damsel in distress with so many n to back you up."
"Huh, I would have fought you, but I don't want to go hard on you and end up killing you," she said with a huff of overconfidence. I could not help but smile at it. The n behind her sure looked tough to deal with. They had this aura where it showed this was their regular job. The woman, however, looked like one slap should suffice her.
"Look, if you are down for a duel I will give you my precious ti," I said while scratching my brow, "or I am not interested in this ga."
The woman gritted her teeth, "enough talk. Get her." She waved for the n to attack and the next mont, all of them charged at together. "Let see you smile after they carve your face with blood," the reference was quite easy to understand. The lipstick, which Hailey had put up as a design on her face. That was quite a scene to watch, though I doubt I wanted to see my face painted in blood with all those marks. Not like they would stay on , but it sounded way painful.
I pushed my mobile into my back pocket. It was more secure there. I shook my hand before getting my fists ready.
The first person ca close with the dagger stretched out, aiming for my face. I dodged it smoothly and gave him a low jab. In an instance, the shock reached his brain as his body fell slack before falling to the ground near my feet. I could not afford to waste ti with non-fatal blows or the group will overpower .
The others stopped, looking at what had happened to the first one. I exhaled before picking up the dagger which the person at my feet was still holding in his hand.
"Kill her!" The girl shouted, "and I will reward you twice the price."
On her words, the n ran up to ready with all their heart. It was actually quite easy to land a horde of fatal blows on soone than actually being careful to keep them alive. Very well, if they were aiming for my life, so would I for theirs.
They all caught up to and I made a run for my life. Nope, can't take so many of them at once.
Around the stairs, I twisted a guy's hand before pushing him over the railing. He landed with a loud thud on the ground floor. The tavern manager looked up from behind the cash counter, "Hey lady, don't disturb the regulars here."
"Sorry," I shouted.
The next person tried stabbing thrice, one of which he succeeded in piercing my shoulder with his dagger. My right hand, which was doing most of the job to defend myself, fell slack because of the pain which travelled down the length of my arm. With my left hand, I smashed the man's head on the window on the other side of the stairway before kicking him hard between his legs. The vulnerability that followed only made it easier for to push him down the large window.
Fang sure would have to compensate a lot for this ss I had made. It wasn't like I had any money on for that.
The third guy rushed towards and I tossed the dagger in my right hand to my left. As I was about to attack him, he swirled himself in the air with the help of the railing and kicked in the back. I fell forward, by the ti I got up, there was one guy in front of and another behind . This was bad. I swung the dagger to get the guy in front of but the person behind pushed his dagger in my lower back.
Definitely got the kidney, "That is so rude of you, mister."
I had hard none of them. My image right now was that of an old lady walking with a hand on her lower back. He was ready to pull the dagger out when I turned around and stabbed him thrice in his neck, the first person who would be losing his life in this battle. He held his neck which overflowed with blood as he lost his balance and fell down the stairs. The other guy pulled the dagger out of my back and I scread in pain,
"Agghhhh."
This was going to be bad if I did not start healing now. I set my ability into action, but it was still in a rough state. At least it made it easier for to move and numb the pain.
I turned, raising the dagger in my hand to attack. The one remaining person was this guy, and it was going to be tough with my injuries and him handling two daggers. He crossed the daggers to block my attack and pushed back. My hand reached out of the windowsill in reflex. He descended two stairs to co and stand in front of . He went to attack with both the daggers but using two weapons at the sa ti ant bad balance and I kicked him in his guts.
The guy staggered back, leaning over the railing but composing himself well in ti.
It was high ti I got on the safer ground, so I ran back up. The woman was still standing there with an odd kind of confidence. I had taken down almost all the n she had brought here to get my throat. Technically, even to go against Hailey, but here I was the only one dealing with them. She better be grateful for this. I looked back at where the goon was now climbing up the stairs and then at the girl. Taking her hostage would be a better case scenario than facing this man when I was injured.
I ran up to her and seeing approach, the woman faltered before she panicked for an escape.
Halfway through, I turned around and taking a firm stance, threw the dagger at the approaching goon. He was surely unprofessional with weapons and I happened to have the best aim in my known circle. Even my trainer in the castle wasn't as good as . It was sothing I was good at, long-range weapons. Though the sa cannot be said about the short-ranged weapons, my injuries were enough to answer for that.
I turned to go kick the girl to her sense to never cross paths with again, but suddenly the sight in front of turned blurry.
Poison!
This was bad. I had to make sure I healed soon. Oddly, that woman was still standing there. My priority was to heal right now, for that I needed to shift into my wolf.
I rushed to the door of the VIP room, which was right beside where that lady stood.
Composing myself, I rushed to the door with staggering feet. It was then that I heard an evident thud from soone's footsteps. I blinked twice before squinting to see who it was. This one looked different from the others I had fought. I could not see clearly but it was surely going to be tough dealing with him. I had to make sure I could at the very least knock on the door. With that man walking towards , it was going to be tough reaching there.
My vision went black for a second and hearing beca hard.
"Selene!" I heard a familiar voice. It was a man's voice. I forced myself to open my eyes and see when I realised my body had already touched the floor. Fang was standing behind that man before he slowly turned his face towards . "What the hell," Fang cursed before he ran towards . I guess the soulmate bond really worked for tis like these. The rooms here were quite packed to not let the outside disturbance cause any problems for the VIPs.
Fang did not care about the man. He just ca rushing towards , but that man wasn't dumb. He held Fang by his shoulder.
My vision blacked out again before I tried to see properly again.
When my sight was back in the blurry ss, Fang cut his wrist and shoved the cut into the other man's mouth. His blood noesis? I never knew what it was. Maybe I could ask after this.
I forced my ability to act. As compared to before, where my abilities refused to work in my human form, now it were slow but doing its job.
When I opened my eyes next, Fang held up as he scooped bridal style. I turned my head to see what had happened with that guy, but the sight I saw was surprising for . He kneeled in front of a person, a person with... with pink hair.. He kneeled in front of Hailey while Hailey grabbed the woman's hair and slamd her head against the overlooking balcony railing. What was going on? Was it Fang's blood noesis or was that person a part of the Cersi clan?
