The guy rolled his eyes at her, his face full of exasperation: "Speak!"
"Let me make some arrangements for what happens after I die," Xia Xiang cleared her throat, took out the Supreme Gold Token, and said, "Please comfort my mother and tell her not to worry too much. Life and death are predestined, let nature take its course."
"Okay," Jiu Wu nodded nervously. Was this some kind of code? Or a clue?
He was very worried at first, but looking at Xia Xiang's exaggerated expression, calm eyes, and fair neck, he knew that they were just playing around!
Who would pinch someone for so long without even leaving a fingerprint?
Xia Xiang could freeze even him, let alone a mere former captain of the South City Guard?
Time passed slowly, and the car the guy requested finally arrived, but it was accompanied by another black car.
"Go!" The guy slowly moved Xia Xiang along, and just as they were about to get into the second car, a gunshot rang out, hitting Xia Xiang directly in the heart.
Xia Xiang's eyes widened, and her body went limp as she collapsed into the guy's arms.
The surrounding Imperial Guards rushed forward immediately, and the Western City Guards, who were at long range, quickly locked onto the target and headed in that direction.
The string in Jiu Wu's mind snapped instantly, a buzzing sound came to his ears, and he instinctively teleported to the side of the car.
Xiu teleported directly to the car to deal with the driver, but the car's exterior was made of a special material that could block supernatural attacks, so he could only smash the car window with his weapon.
Seeing that the car windows were smashed, the masked driver started the car and rammed it wildly into the guards, then sped away with Xia Xiang and the guy, whose fate was unknown.
Everyone chased after them, but suddenly more than a dozen identical cars appeared and surrounded the group.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the car that had kidnapped Xia Xiang drove away—
Jiu Wu pushed his superpower index to the limit and teleported after it, but was blocked halfway by a powerful force, watching the car completely disappear from sight.
"Yehenara Xiongba?!" Jiuwu shouted through gritted teeth, then gave up the chase and headed directly towards the Yehenara family's home.
——
"Ouch, it hurts!" Xia Xiang's tears streamed down her face until she completely lost consciousness.
Damn it! How could it hurt so much? I brought this on myself...
Let's rewind to the day Xia Xiang returned to the Iron Dimension, at the Alliance Leader's house—
"Uncle doesn't have much time left." The leader's face grew increasingly pale, and a faint aura of death emanated from his forehead.
"But she was perfectly fine before!" Xia Xiang asked the deaf girl beside her anxiously.
The deaf girl shook her head and sighed, "It really is beyond saving. We were so grateful for the medicinal herbs you gave me, which bought us so much time. But every body has its limits, so..."
Xia Xiang knew what she meant by what she hadn't finished saying, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
"Alright, you two go ahead and get busy," the leader said to the deaf girl and Yang Guo, then patted Xia Xiang's head reassuringly.
"Don't worry, birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of life." The leader said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, Uncle can finally rest. You should be happy."
"I'm not happy," Xia Xiang said, holding back her tears. "How about I take Uncle to Demon Island for treatment? The medical conditions there are quite good."
The leader gently shook his head. "I cannot leave the Iron Dimension. If the protective magnetic field of the Iron Dimension fails, everyone will be in danger."
"I'm just worried that if this burden is suddenly placed on Xiao Wu's shoulders, he won't be able to breathe," the leader said with concern.
Xia Xiang said with a determined look in her eyes, "I have a plan..."
