Chapter 352 - On Her Way

Elizabeth has finally arrived at the estate where Little Yan should've been kept. Amazingly, she was surprised that the whole place was still in great chaos. She expects her father to have handled everything already. 

"What's going on here? Hasn't dad handled everything, I mean, impossible…"

Elizabeth hastily advanced to the estate and saw the blood all over the ground. However, the bodies have already been removed. She found it odd why she can hear gun sound when the bodies are no longer around. 

"Ha-ha, it seems I'll be having a good time tonight. Who would have expected that they'll all be gathering for me in one place? The best part, I don't need to hunt them down like a little rabbit." 

She thought that the people after the Yuns must have found out about what happened and decided to add fuel into all the commotion. Since the men presented themselves in front of everyone during the party even though they did nothing wrong. If something is to happen to the little girl, they would be blamed.

Elizabeth bent her neck from side to side as she stretched her body around preparing for a battle which she'd long for. "Let's see what we have here." 

Instead of hurrying up and see what's going on, she decided to take her time and head slowly to the house. The reason she took her time is that she expects more men should be staying on guard and didn't want to be caught off guard once she steps foot on the battlefield. 

... 

Inside, the entire house was in even more chaos. Jaden and his force who took things lightly and avoided causing great damage to the house effort turned into nothing. The men who arrived showed no care for the damage they've done. 

Since Jaden's force was taken by surprise, some of them ended up badly wounded but were all still breathing though some barely holding on. 

One can't tell exactly how many arrived and attacked them. 

The force was able to handle the group of mercenary easily. Compared to Scorpion and his men, they were weak and useless. They just hold a great number of men but nothing more to offer. 

Just like the saying: It's not about quantity but quality. 

Jaden was motionless on the top floor making sure Yun Shen makes his way down. He looked at Scorpion who was in a daze of everything and all shaken up. 

Could their Young Miss really be here?

"Bravo team report, what's going on?" Jaden inquired through the micro earpiece attached to his ears. 

"Sir, a group of mercenaries suddenly showed up. Most of the men are badly wounded, but we're all fine. Requesting to fall back and secure the wounded to safety?" 

"Requested granted." Jaden sighs in relieved to know that the person causing the ruckus was not their Young Miss. 

Scorpio was curious when he notices the relief in Jaden's face. He went closer to him and inquired, "It's not her?" 

"No, it's not! I told you already, the Young Miss will not show up. Lord Knightley has assigned loads of men all over the community (meaning Jade Palace) and throughout the entire city, preventing the girl from reaching this place." 

"What? Why did you do that? That just makes her even want to kill us all now. You better check on those men. I'm sure, I'm sure they're all lying in the hospital bed by now."

Scorpion was not wrong with his words but Jaden was not convenient by it. He doubts his Young Miss is that skilled to take down his best men and even the military soldier Elder Chief Zhao and General Zhao assigned to join the mission. 

However, Jaden kept having this chilly feeling down his spine that something does not add up. Like everything seems to be going out of control all of a sudden. He realized that the group unexpected arrival was just too sudden. They have guarded the whole area in order to prevent the girl from reaching the place. So how could they even enter?

Jaden grab his phone out and called someone in order to inquire if the girl has indeed done the impossible. 

"Long, where are you?" 

"Jaden, sorry... I'm here in one of the checkpoints. Most of the men were badly wounded by the Young Miss. Both Young Master Feng and Stanford are here with me. I stopped them from further entering the city since I assured them that we'll be able to return the Young Miss. But I just received reports from the others that they are badly hurt as well and I'm on my way to help them." 

Jaden's eyes widen in shock from the news he just received. He did not expect what Scorpion mentioned about his Young Miss could come true right in front of him. 

How was it possible that an innocent and kind-hearted girl to be so skilled and cruel. She has indeed turned into a fighting machine. He can understand if the girl was able to fight some bullies and defend herself in danger but to fight elite guards, soldiers, and mercenaries was far too impossible. 

"Jaden..."

"Jaden?"

"I'm here," Jaden shook his head still in a daze of everything. "Make sure the two Young Master does not get involved. You can proceed with checking the others. I'll go with my team to locate the Young Miss?"

"Roger!"

Jaden ended the call with a heavy burden and sigh. He couldn't even raise his head from the news he just received. Seeing the man so lifeless caused Scorpion to panic as he realizes the situation. 

"She's on her way?"

One does not need to respond for it was pretty obvious on Jaden's face about what's currently going on. How he wished he could beat the man up for being right about what he said about his Young Miss. He, too, grew up in the underground society and knows how amazing one's skills can improve. With this, it just proved that their Young Miss was indeed a monster in the past, and yet, they still can't accept it and continue to play blind. 

"Please, spare me... I swear, I promised you I'll tell you anything. Just, just don't let her take me." Scorpion begged on his knees as he crawled towards Jaden. 

"F***! Get up! It's not the time for this! I'm sure will die before she'll even get to us. Right now, there are probably a few dozen of men downstairs and it won't be long when they get us."

"Soo... You're telling me she still not here? How sure are you? I mean, don't you find it strange that this group of men was able to arrive unannounced?" Scorpion explained yet Jaden already knew everything. 

"Fine, she's on her way. So what now? Do you want to see another day or do you want to stay here yapping?" Jaden was all not in the mood. He did not expect things would get so complicated. And now, all of them are in danger as well because of the Yuns. He was sure that those men downstairs are from the underground society as well. 

'I better report this first to Lord Knightley and asked what to do? We can't get involved with the problems with the Yuns. If we do? Hmph, the boy is really not suited for the Young Miss.' (Jaden)

'I wonder who's after us? Could they be after the young boy's family? Rumors of them being targeted has spread throughout the different organization. But why, why did he look so familiar though?' (Scorpion)
