Calmly, Senja reached out her hands to grab his arm which encircled her neck and squeezed it. "Release me." She whispered. Put all of her attention to him. "I said, release me, now!"

The man tighten gripped loosen as he obeyed Senja's command. She had done the same thing back then in the Carnation Resort in front of Yoda, so this second attempt was easier.

In her concentration, Senja even didn't realize the visible change of expression on Xiao Tianyao and the other five people when the man release Senja just like that.

His arms were hanging on the side of his body without strength while the dagger on his grip fell onto the ground with a thud.

Senja took a deep breath in relief after the dagger leave her neck. The atmosphere turned intense as no one dare to speak or move. Even the two people and Feng Chang didn't pay attention to his fellow, because their eyes widely opened in disbelief at Senja.

It was Xiao Tianyao who gave the first reaction by killing the man in his possession, afterwards Xiao Jun did the same.

Feng Chang was very shocked by the turn of even, the moment his fellow friend submitted to Senja's order. However, it didn't matter anymore because the last thing he knew was Xiao Tianyao sword had pierced through his chest and he lay unmoved on the ground.

Senja wasn't less surprise. She didn't understand why Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun would have done such a thing? It would be benefited them if they keep those three people alive, right? So, they could extract information from them.

And the next thing that Senja realized was Xiao Tianyao had stood in front of her in a posed that he was shielding her from something or… someone.

Senja peeked from Xiao Tianyao's back to see who was the person that he was facing, because Senja could see how rigid his back. As things went, it was Xiao Jun. He was stood there in front of Xiao Tianyao with mixed feeling.

Anxiety? Puzzled? Helplessness? Senja couldn't pinpoint Xiao Jun's exact emotion since it was too complicated. But why?

Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything and only stood unmoved right in front of her, since Senja wasn't able to feel his emotion, Senja was more bewildered again with this odd situation. What was happening?

"Xiao Tianyao. There must be no witnesses if you want to keep her alive." Xiao Jun said in stern voice that didn't sound like him. After that he glanced at Yang Yu. His intention was very obvious, to silence him.

Yang Yu who understand the situation well flopped to the ground with head low as he declared. "Master, this lowly subordinate wouldn't dare to say a word about what had happened. Even if someone threaten his life! May Master give a chance." His voice was trembling.

Senja could sense fear crept in Yang Yu's heart as though he was someone who was waiting his final verdict.

"What happened?" Senja whispered at Xiao Tianyao as she shook his hand. But, the man only pushed her to hide behind his back again.

"Jun. You know he wouldn't." Xiao Tianyao calmly stated. Even so there was finality in his stoic voice.

Xiao Jun stared at his brother for the last time before he yielded and advised him. "Fine. But, let me make things clear for you. Once this things spread out. You wouldn't be able to keep her alive."

"She will alive." Xiao Tianyao stubbornly said.

Senja knew that by showing off her ability would bring her a consequence, but she didn't know that they would react strangely like this. Why they are acting like that?
