88 Besieged
Emma saw a group of n with long wooden blocks running into the small room. She looked back with a worried face at the three girls who were still tied up. Of course, Emma wouldn’t have ti to release the girls before she could beat all the thugs. Hopefully, the poor girls were still okay when Emma was done with her business later.
The mbers of the Hell Gate group who had predicted Emma’s arrival, deliberately brought weapons in their plan to gang up on her. Emma knew, weapons were things the weak would use in battle. Because of that, it wasn’t uncommon for Emma to see that people with a baseball bat were usually the easiest to overthrow.
But that didn’t an defeating them all was as easy as turning the palm. In such a tiny room, Emma was a bit difficult to be surrounded like that, plus with the three girls who might be the target of thugs. Because of this, Emma had to get out of the crowded room as soon as possible while she could still control the situation.
Emma fought the n while slowly sliding towards the door. Even though she realized there were a lot of people waiting outside the room, it didn’t bother her at all. Through her spying for the past few days, Emma learned that it was in this third headquarters branch where Hell Gate locked up most of the girls they forcibly hired.
Thanks to the practice and the many fights Emma had been in lately so her fighting skills had grown trendously. That’s why people said that practice was better than theory.
So far, Emma had always been practised accompanied by her martial art teacher and Jonas. This made her subconscious say that she would still be fine, although she wasn’t too serious whenever she was joining the adults in the fighting arena. But now, the situation was different. Emma must fight seriously to defend her own life and the lives of others. If she was careless, she would be finished.
Finally, Emma managed to get out of the room. Almost all the n who stood in her way had she defeated. In front of the room, there’s only a few n remained which Emma finally finished off with a few kicks.
“Is this all you got?” Emma mumbled breathlessly as she looked left and right to find that it was already empty.
Then, she went back into the room and released the three girls, “You girls stick behind my back. Don’t make a sound and don’t be separated.” She ordered. The three girls nodded in understanding with frightened faces.
.....
Emma led them to a door that led to a tal staircase outside which was previously guarded by one man, “Get out of here quickly.” said Emma after peering down through the window, making sure it was safe there.
“How about you?” Asked one of the girls who noticed that the helted man was not going to follow them out the door.
“I’ll save the other girls. Be careful, the stairs are slippery. Take care of yourselves.” Emma answered.
The three girls nodded together, “Thank you very much. Good luck!”
Emma nodded slightly. Then, the girls quickly stepped outside to get down from the small stairs.
“Wait..!” The robot-like voice made their little legs stop. The three pairs of puffy eyes looked at the black helt questioningly.
“Rember this saying of mine. As won, we... ah no, I an, you girls.. shouldn’t be too innocent. Rember this. In this world, there are a lot of bad people. Either monsters or angels, you won’t know soone’s heart only by their appearance. Therefore, you must be careful.” Emma said.
The three girls looked at each other for a mont, then, nodded in understanding “We understand. Thank you,”
“Good. Now, hurry up go down. I’ll watch over you until you’re safely downstairs.” Emma said. Then, she did the guarding until she saw the girls disappear from the entrance of the empty alley.
Emma closed the door that could have brought her out of this rancid hell. She refused the fresh air and entered into this cursed place instead, to save the girls with a future that would be destroyed.
For so reason, Emma couldn’t find the rest of the Hell Gate mbers all over the floor, or even girls she was looking for. From there, Emma began to feel sothing was wrong and odd.
Then... sure enough. She could see the real problem when she got to the bottom floor. It was a huge living room which was suitable for parking several cars. But apparently, that place would be a battle arena for Emma.
What made the girl let out a lazy sigh was.. there was a big man with dark skin that Emma knew his face. It’s zu. Behind the man, there were dozens of Hell Gate’s n with wooden blocks in their hands, ready to destroy Emma with the excuse of revenge.
Emma ca down the stairs, smiling. Sweat trickled down from her forehead inside her always closed black helt.
“We et again, Bulldozer..” Emma greeted by raising her right palm facing the front. It was as if she was very relaxed in facing a group of thugs that had now surrounded her.
“You got my brother in jail! I’ll make you regret ever trying to play with Hell Gate!” zu exclaid with both hands tightly clenched. The veins in his body were bulging out with a furious quiver in every muscle.
“Wait a minute.. Why are you blaming ? Your boss was the one who put him in jail. That asshole also killed my friend! He even had the heart to make his own favourite subordinate beco the scapegoat. Use your walnut brain to think!” Emma replied annoyed.
“You talk too much! I will avenge my brother and my group! This ti, I will make sure to turn all your bones into biscuit crumbs!”
Emma laughed loudly, “Well..Try if you can.. Oh.. Is your jaw that I almost broke that day already healed? Looks like stupid people have a faster body recovery, huh?” Emma sneered. Secretly, she was indeed a specialist in the sharp tongue. However, she was always reminded by her nanny to always guard her words, so she wouldn’t hurt other people’s feelings with her tongue. But for jerk n like them, she didn’t have to hold back, right?
The black helted man’s words made zu very inflad. This was the first ti he had co across a man who talked so much with such a sharp tongue. zu admitted, the man really managed to provoke his anger.
Even though she kept laughing loudly and talking casually, actually Emma felt a little worried about the fight she was about to have. Different from the previous condition, this ti, Emma had to fight the bison in an empty and very wide room like a field. It seed that zu had deliberately frad Emma to fighting in such a place.
The man, who Emma always said had a small brain, turned out to be able to learn from previous experiences. All of that was more troubleso because there were dozens of n ard with wooden blocks who would help zu crush her bones.
Emma glanced at the stairs beside her, ‘Should I just run upstairs?’ she thought.
But, even though she hadn’t moved yet, several n were coming down from the upstairs. Emma’s eyes widened. She thought she had explored the entire floor by looking for the girls, but had found the floors were empty.
‘Ugh! Stupid!!’ Emma exclaid in her heart. She just rembered that the building should still have one more floor. That was on the roof! Of course, such flats had a roof.
Now, Emma was completely under siege. She stood in the middle, surrounded by n bigger than her. It would be very difficult having to keep dodging and attacking zu, while facing dozens of n who were also attacking her at the sa ti.
“DEATH!!!” zu shouted as ran towards the dwarf man standing in the middle. He was followed by his subordinates who shouted as well and dashed to the centre with their wooden block raised as if they were facing dozens of mbers of an enemy group. It looked so funny and cowardly.
“You can do this, Emma..” The girl mumbled after taking a deep breath and exhaling. As her Kung Fu master, who ca all the way from Wudang Mountain to train her, said.
‘Calm is the main key in dealing with problems.’
The first attack ca from the man behind Emma that she imdiately dealt with a high back kick. Then, quickly, another attack ca from the right, left, and front. Emma fought them all with a mix of Kung Fu, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai moves. She pushed up her movent speed to be able to protect her body from all those consecutive attacks.
Until finally, the crowd in front of her opened to show a raging bull figure appeared and quickly lunged right in front of her face.
Seeing the sudden danger, Emma imdiately dodged as best she could. Thanks to her agile legs, Emma managed to escape the attack. But she realized, in order to not get caught by zu’s hands, she had to take another risk.
Bugh! Bugh! Bugh!
Emma grimaced as she tried to get back up after the wooden block hit her shoulder and outer thigh very hard.
“Damn! This isn’t good..” Emma muttered as she tried to dodge another punch. Her body that had been hit by the hard object felt very painful.
Emma knew that she was really good at hitting and fighting techniques. But her weakness was her body’s resistance to blows. The situation imdiately deteriorated.
zu who saw the black helt man was already looking overwheld, smiled broadly. He was sure that this ti he would crush the dwarf’s bones. Give him a lesson, because he had made his twin brother get into prison.
Then, zu lowered his back slightly and his eyes aid at the black figure who was busy parrying the blows pouring down on her. The man’s two big, hard hands looked like the claws of a Grizzly bear that were ready to grip.
