Chapter 150 - 148. Enraged III

Third person POV

The cruise was sailing slowly and finally stopped in the middle of nowhere, the crews threw an anchor down to the water. The guards were patrolling around the cruise with weapons ready in their hands. But unknown to them, a dozen of human were swimming under the ship and their head slowly emerged from water.

Hong er and her group couldn't use their ship to approach the cruise as it would be easily noticed even from faraway. If they used small boats, the guards would quickly notice the boats therefore swimming was the best option.

They hid their presence and swam all the way here without using water magic that's why the guards were not aware of their whereabouts. They closed their eyes and activated their inner sight, after a few seconds, they inactivated their inner sight and waited for Hong er's instruction. Hong er told them her plan with hand signals

Hong er: 'Divide to 3 groups. One group follow me to attack the bridge from behind. Meiyun to left, Huayun to right. Move after my signal. Go.' ( The bridge of a ship is the room or platform from which the ship can be commanded.)

They nodded their head and without further ado they dived into the water. Hong er slowly emerged from water and used qinggong to climb the ship. She peeked to see if any guard was around then she made a 'safe' hand signal to the group behind her.

They advanced and followed Hong er. Slowly but surely they hid from the guards' sight. They finally reached the bridge and cleared out the room for Hong er to enter leisurely. Their body laid lifeless on the floor with knife stabbed through their head, to ensure the crews were really dead, they checked their pulse and wrapped the bodies with cloth then they tied the bodies to the pillar with a rope.

Hong er: "Ah Tong, go find Ah Xi and tell him to evacuate the children to our ship. Our ship will arrive in 10 minutes."

Ah Tong: "Yes!"

With that, Ah Tong and one personnel of their group disappeared into thin air.

Hong er: "One of you stay here."

One of the personnel: "Yes!"

(A/N: There 18 of them including Hong er, 3 of them stayed at their ship and it left them with 15 people. Divide to 3 group= 5 person/group. Oh! All of them wore mask.)

Meiyun and Huayun's group were hanging on the side of the ship, waiting for Hong er's signal to attack. Hong er took out a small mirror and aligned it with the sunlight. The moment they saw a small blinding light from the bridge, they launched themselves with weapons in their hand.

The one that stayed at the bridge put on a magic barrier so the guards in the lower floor wouldn't detect their Qi while the other one put on a soundproof barrier. Hong er jumped from the top floor and summoned her white sword in the air.

She spun her body and sliced off two heads at once, only after a few second, the guards on this floor were wiped out. They hid and tied the dead bodies to a pillar.

On the other side, the auction was going smoothly and no one seems to be suspicious of what happened up there. Ah Xi came into a room without his mask on, his handsome face was full of smile as he poured a wine on one of the clients cup.

Each client had their own room and their room was facing the circle stage. There was representative for each room to raise the number plate so that the identity of the person behind the curtain remained unknown.

Host: "And now! We save the best for the last. This is the most special kid we had ever auctioned! Congratulation to all ladies and gentleman who came here, even if you couldn't bring it home, at least you witness this rare species!"

The host's speech piqued the clients' interest.

Host: "Without further ado, bring out the slave!"

The door opened and two men pushed a white cage covered with white silk towards the middle of the stage. The clients stood from their chair to peek at the cage and clicked their tongue when they saw the cage was covered. Seeing the reaction of the clients, the host smirked under his weird mask.

Host: "Now now~ Please don't get mad first, Ladies and gentlemen. First I have to explain the specialty of this slave."

The host said with teasing tone. Ah Xi eyed the cage and saw a pair of chained foot from the slightly opened curtain. The feet were as white as jade therefore the faint cut on his feet were quite noticeable.

Ah Tong had gone to evacuate the children and he was here to make sure none of the people escape, furthermore the last child was here and he wouldn't leave the child behind. Three of his comrade disguised as servants and were pouring wine in the other room.

He caught a glimpse of the footmen that pushed the cage into the room, it seems that one of them was extremely familiar. He scanned that person once again.

Ah Xi: 'Huayun?!'

Even though he almost had a heartattack, he still maintained his calm face. As if Huayun could hear his internal scream, Huayun glanced at him and unnoticeable tilted her head slightly to the side.

Ah Xi got her message and glanced at the two guards that had been staring at him for a while. He smiled at them and bowed his head then he stood at the corner of the room.

Meanwhile in the lower floor, the guards had been completely wiped out. The walls were painted in blood as dead bodies scattered on the floor. They didn't bother to search for the keys to unlock the jail, they just used their sword to cut the bars into halves.

They entered the jail and saw the kids were hiding in corners with tears streaming down their faces. They didn't approach the kids because they saw how the kids flinched whenever they moved. Little did they know, they were wearing mask with demon face on it.

Hong er sighed by their clumsiness and stepped up, she took off their mask and pointed her mask telling them to take off theirs too. They Ooooed and took off their mask then put on their brightest smile on, including Hong er.

Hong er slowly approach the kids and crouched down when she was a few step away from them, she was afraid of scaring the kids if she was too close to them. She stretched out her hand to the kids and spoke with her gentlest voice.

Hong er: "No need to be afraid, we are not bad guy. We are here to take you out from here."
