The white-haired man frowned as he questioned, "Who the fuck are you?"
"The one who’s going to blow your brains out if you don’t let go of the girl right now!" Xavier replied.
Surprisingly, the man wasn’t afraid of his threat. A smirk pulled on his lips as he stared at Xavier.
"Go ahead," he challenged. "Fucking—"
The white-haired man didn’t get the chance to complete his words when Xavier pulled the trigger of the gun, shooting the white haired man in the head.
The other kidnapper who was also using another girl as a shield panicked and pointed his gun at them about to spout so threatening words similar to the one who had just died. But unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the chance to complete his sentence either. Maxwell handled him and he fell flat on the ground, dead.
The sound of gunshots surrounded the hideout as Xavier’s n and the kidnappers battled.
"One of you stay here and keep an eye out for us," Xavier ordered as he rushed towards the girls.
Quickly, he and Maxwell removed the tapes from their mouths and untied their hands as well.
The one who seed to be the oldest was around fifteen. She was the only one who wasn’t crying but her eyes were red as she tried to restrain herself from shedding tears. The youngest looked to be either eight or nine years old.
Their clothes were dirty and they all looked skinny.
’Are they even given food?’ He wondered as his eyes softened when he stared at them.
As soon as they were all untied, they imdiately crawled towards the fifteen-year-old girl. She had brown that was so dark he wondered if those were its actual colors or they were dirt. Her eyes were as dark as night as she stared at Xavier warily.
"You don’t have to be scared of , I’m here to save you," said Xavier as she stretched out his hand to hold one of the girls who hugged the fifteen-year-old, but she imdiately flinched in fear.
"W-who are you?" The fifteen-year-old girl asked.
"I’m Xavier. These are my n," he pointed at Maxwell and the other who was keeping an eye out. " and my other n who are outside fighting with the kidnappers ca to rescue you guys. We are not bad people," he added, hoping he could win her trust since she seems to have been protecting the girls as if she were their mother.
He stared at her, noticing that her clothes looked dirtier than the other children’s. It also had holes in it. He also didn’t fail to notice the bruises on her face and arm. She had been manhandled and he didn’t need to ask her if they touched her because, from the bruises on her skin and torn clothes, in addition with the bloodstains on her shirt, they did.
Xavier sighed. He blad himself for being late.
There had been different cases of kidnapping of children across the world and he was trying his best to rescue as many as he could. He had extended his organization to other cities and countries, but one man couldn’t save everyone.
"Will you hurt us?" The girl asked, tears pooling in her eyes before they stread down but she didn’t make any sound. Her lips trembled, but she tried to keep herself from completely tearing up.
Xavier nodded vehently as he smiled at her, glad that he would be able to get them out of the hideout.
"I promise, I will save you and the other girls." His eyes landed on the other girls.
"Alright, we will co with you," she added.
Without wasting a mont, Xavier led them. He and Maxwell were in front while the other one was behind, in case any kidnapper popped up out of nowhere.
It was already dark outside, and the moonlight cascaded upon them. Dead bodies laid scattered on the floor. When Xavier didn’t recognize any of his n to be part of the dead bodies, he internally sighed in relief. He counted the bodies, there were seven that lay on the ground.
’There are seven more criminals around,’ Xavier thought to himself. He heard more gunshots from behind the house.
Quickly, he ordered Maxwell and the other one to lead the girls to the van and they imdiately did as they were told.
The girls tried to run as fast as they could as fear tried to hold them back. It wasn’t the first ti they were seeing a dead body, but they were still scared to look at a lifeless body.
When Xavier was sure the girls would be taken care of, he went to the back.
He saw his n hiding by the side of the house as they tried to not get shot by the remaining kidnappers.
When a kidnapper stuck out his head to fire a few shots, he was imdiately killed by Xavier before he hid in the sa spot as his n.
"Boss, are the girls safe?" One of his n asked. His face was covered with blood which had Xavier give him a questionable look. "Don’t worry boss, it’s not my blood," he added.
"The girls are safe and they are headed towards the van," Xavier replied. He could hear the silence that reigned for a second before a huge explosion deafened them.
The ground shook due to the explosion.
"The remaining three n are in the area where the bomb had just exploded," one of the ard n who were hiding beside the house inford. "T-they a-are dead," he stuttered.
Xavier gritted his teeth.
He took out a grenade from his bulletproof vest and threw it at the enemies.
He had strictly instructed his n not to use the grenade until the girls were safe and because of that, he had lost three of his n.
The bomb exploded, the debris giving them the opportunity to attack.
"Keep three kidnappers alive, I promised Amanda to bring so toys for her when I get back," said Xavier.
