Chapter 340 - Patience

It was Elizabeth's turn to be checked. She was still a few feet away from them but decided to step out of the car. There were a few cars behind her yet she did not bother about them. 

When the soldiers notice her, they all were in shock to see her walking towards her. She looked like the same innocent girl whom they've known. 

Soldier 1: "Young Miss, where have you been?"

Soldier 2: "Young Miss, let's go home already. The Masters are all waiting for you." 

"Tell me, if I punch you will you fight back?" Elizabeth inquired.

The soldiers were all confused and looked at each other. 

Soldier Leader: "Young Miss, what are you talking about?"

Soldier 1: "Young Miss, we would lay our hand on you. Rest assure we won't harm you at all. We were just ordered to bring you home."

Soldier 4: "Sir, I've already informed Long and Chou, the rest of the party are on their way." 

"Soldier Leader: "Young Miss, we better head home. Or do you wish to wait for Long and Chou?" 

"Hmm?" Elizabeth looked at them as if she was thinking about things. She smiled at them once again and asked the same question. "If I attack you, would you fight back?" 

Instead of pondering on her question, the soldier laughed instead, they found the girl's question outrageous. She did grow up in a military family and must be skill full but her take them down and attack the was out of the question. 

Soldier 1: "Young Miss, we better get you home. It's late and it's cold."

Soldier 3: "Young Miss, here, put my coat own. It's quite cold tonight."

Soldier Leader: "Young Miss, rest assure if someone does come and attack us we are here to protect you. We are the best of..."

Elizabeth's eyes widen as if the other person of her has kicked in again. She was once again the brutal and cruel person. She kicked the soldier (leader) without any warning causing the rest of the soldiers to be dumbfounded of the situation. 

Soldier 1: "Sir, are you alright?" 

Soldier 5: "Young Miss, is something wrong?" 

Elizabeth only smiled meaningfully at them. Her smiled had this slight meaning of death in it. The same eerie smile of that Pennywise has on his face when he was about to do something horrible and frightening. 

Soldier 2: "Young Miss?"

"Ah!!!"

"Young Miss!!!"

Soldier Leader: "What is going on? Some call Long and Chou at once."

To their surprise, they did not expect the girl to be so skillful than them. They were unable to block any of her attacks. She was so fast that her every move was as fast as a blink of an eye. As if ever second she was making her brutal move at them. 

"Someone help!"

"Ah!!!"

"F***!!!"

Those cars waiting in line were all shaken from what was happening. The people on the wheel eyes were all wide open in disbelief of what they were seeing. Some of them even step out of their car to witness everything unfold in front of them whilst other hastily turned around and left. 

"What is going on? Is she the person the military is after? Why are there any backup?" 

"Someone call the police, those soldiers are about to die." 

"Honey, what are you doing watching for. Get over here and start the car already. We better get out of here before we get ourselves killed!"

Those who were waiting by one by one and slowly went on their separate ways. They each called the police as well and informed them of what they've witnessed. To everyone's surprise, the girl who was fighting with the soldiers were so familiar with them. But, the fact that news of the girl attending the party was all over the news. So they doubted it was her and was just someone looking exactly like her. 

"Ugggh!"

"Heeelp!"

"Damn it, I think my ribs just crack!" 

Elizabeth has taken all twenty soldiers down in less than no time. She didn't badly hurt them but only wounded them making sure they are unable to move for days and catch up with her. 

"Tell me, are there more of you?" Elizabeth went closer to the soldier leader. 

Soldier Leader who was heavily breathing after Elizabeth broke his arm. "Young Miss, I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. Even if you kill me now."

"You really are my family's soldiers. So loyal to my family..." Elizabeth got up and grab all the communication device on them. 

After she took all phones and other communication devices from the soldiers. She then throws them on the ground and broke all of them to pieces. 

"Don't worry, they'll be here soon." Elizabeth said. 

She then grabs on of the soldier guns. 

Soldier 1: "Ugh! Young Miss, where are you going?"

Soldier 4: "Young Miss, please... You don't need to go there. The Little Miss will soon be safe." 

All the soldiers turned to the man who spoke without thinking. They glared at him coldly that he just blurted out something so classified. 

"What did you say?" Elizabeth went to the soldier who spoke and grabbed him by his neck. 

The soldier was having a hard time breathing since Elizabeth grabbed his neck so tight. He tried to speak but only whispers came out of his mouth. "The Li-little mi-miss will be sa-saved." 

Elizabeth was displeased of what she just heard. It just means her father was already a few steps ahead of her. Which means she won't be getting any answer again this time. She've been wondering why her father is so against her recovering her memory. 

'S***! Damn it, dad, why must go get involved. Why are you so against me recovering my memory.'

Elizabeth realized the saying "Patience is a virtue" is really her only option. For only in time will answer everything. 

...

Meanwhile, where the sun still rises above. A man returned to his home at Blenheim Palace to discuss things with her father and mother. On his way to the study, he stumbles on his feet and smiled. 

"My Lord, are you alright?" Winston asked when he saw the man almost lose balance for a moment. 

"My daughter is cursing me." Lord Knightley smile even though the pressing matter is not amusing at all. 

Winston ignored his master's remarks and opened the door to the study. There not only was Elder Lord and Lady Knightley waiting but also other subordinated who hold high rank as Winston waited. 

"My Lord, should we travel and retrieved the Young Lady at once?" 

"Robert! I have enough of this! Bring Elizabeth home at once!" Elder Lord Knightley roared like a lion in frustration at his son. 

Lord Knightley ignored everyone and went to his seat first. 

"Darling, please... Elizabeth is in great danger if she continues to stay there." Elder Lady Knightley added. 

"Those Yuns, have they lost their mind. They've put our granddaughter in danger so many times. She already with Young Feng and they still mess up her life." Elder Lord Knightley expressed his disapproval. 

"They're not at wrong." Lord Knightley finally utter a word. 

"What?" Elder Lord Knightley looked baffled.

"Child, speak at once. Don't prolong your mother agony anymore." Elder Lady Knightley. 

"Be patient." Lord Knightley said as he ordered the servants to bring him some tea. 

Not long, the door of the office opened again from the outside. But this time, it was not due because of a servant but the man they would not expect to show up stood by the door. 

"Petrovich?" Elder Lady Knightley was surprised to see the man and even stood up her from her seat. 

"What is he doing here?" Elder Lord Knightley inquired with such a hostile manner. The fact they know the man is in relation to the mysterious family who wish to wed his granddaughter. 

"Even I don't know why I've been summoned." Professor Petrovich spoke seeing the chills in the air. 

"Stop playing games, why are you taking her when she still has four months with us?" Lord Knightley directly went straight to the point without even letting the man in the office to settle down. 

"Can I be seated first?" Professor Petrovich went to the seat next to the man's desk and added, "What are you talking about?"

"Someone came after Lizzy tonight. Are you saying that old man has nothing to do with this?" Lord Knightley's tone was cold and direct. 

"Firstly, let me get this straight... Someone came after Liz? Are you saying some fool kidnap your daughter?" 

Everyone was speechless hearing the cluelessness in Petrovich's word. 

"So, you blame the old man for kidnaping your daughter since you can't find her. Instead of asking the old man's help your pointing fingers. Is that it? Hmph, are you out of your mind! Why would he need to kidnap her when she will be his in four months. Can't you think of another reason or someone else who would want your daughter? I mean, come on. Even by her name Li Zi, she has so many enemies." 

"So you're saying you have nothing to do with this?" Elder Lord Knightley calmed went closer to the man. 

"Lord Knightley, please... Why would we even do that? I mean, Liz is like a daughter to me. If the old man is to do something so harsh on her I would right back. Also, his back in his island somewhere anyways. He wouldn't even know if something happens to her until he returns to the country." 

"Rob, then who is after Lizzy?" Elder Lady Knightley stated with turned everyone pale. 

"If you're not after her then, who?" Lord Knightley looked dumbfoundedly at Petrovich. 

"Tell me, what happened?" 

Winstone explained the current situation and even showed them of the men Elizabeth have cruelly beaten up. 

"This is bad." Professor Petrovich looked, even more, paler than before. 

"Who are they?" Lord Knightley asked. 

"Someone whom you should not get yourself involved with. Rescue the little girl now before Liz finds them. Do whatever it takes to make sure she does not step into Jade Palace. Or else..." 

"Winston, kill them." 

Lord Knightley got up from his seat and the five subordinated and Winstone followed him out further words.  

Elder Lady Knightley hastily went over to Petrovich and inquired. "What is your relationship with the mysterious family? Who is the old man? Why does he possess the dragon flames ring?" 

The Crimson Dragon's flames ring is the name of the engagement ring Petrovich left last time. The reason why it's called the Crimson Dragon's flames ring was because of the myth that the ring was forged using dragon's flames on the night when the moon was round and crimson which is why the diamond is so red and beautiful. 

"I have no such connection with them. I was just ordered to hand the ring." 

"But you, you were with Lizzy during her training, she told me..." Elder Lady Knightley was confused about her own understanding.

"Yes, I was, for it was my sister who found her." Professor Petrovich answered bring such painful memories back.
