The dream was so long that Lin Yang, who was so immersed in it, felt as if she was about to never wake up.
The little boy learned martial arts from a young age under the tutelage of his family, which can save his life in critical moments.
But he was still just a child. No matter how much his teachers praised his extraordinary talent, he was ultimately no match for the strength of an adult.
Moreover, this scarred-face man has been in the underworld for many years and is not just a pretty face.
After a fierce battle, both men were injured, but the little boy's determination to save the little girl remained strong.
With his potential unleashed, Scarface didn't gain much of an advantage.
In comparison, the little boy had more injuries.
He tried his best to avoid those fatal moves, but still suffered several knife wounds.
The little girl watched them fight and wanted to help, but all she could do was whimper and struggle desperately, her hands and feet bleeding from being scraped by the rope.
"Again...again." The little boy casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his knees half-kneeling on the ground, barely supporting his battered body.
"If you can't take it anymore, don't force yourself. If you keep going, you might die." Scarface spat out a mouthful of blood, brandished the gleaming white dagger in his hand, and tried to persuade him to give up.
After all, if someone were to die, all his money would be gone.
But he's the boss, so if he admits defeat, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to his underlings?
Pushing himself up with his hands, the little boy wobbled to his feet, pointing the dagger at the scarred man. "Impossible! I absolutely, positively will rescue her! I promised I'd protect her for life..."
Upon hearing this, the little girl burst into tears, wanting him to give up and stop getting hurt for her, but all she could say was a soft "mmm".
"Then don't blame me for showing no mercy." Scarface raised his short knife again, and the two faced each other.
Just as the two were entangled again, the short man who had been guarding the door rushed in hurriedly.
"Boss, something bad has happened!" The very first sentence that reached my ears was so ominous.
"What's wrong? Spit it out!" Scarface tried to pause, but the little boy wasn't going to give him the chance.
Taking advantage of Scarface's distraction, the little boy stabbed him hard in the hand holding the knife.
The knife clattered to the ground, and Scarface fell to the ground in pain, clutching his bleeding hand, and kicked the little boy hard in the stomach.
The little boy didn't expect that Scarface would still have the energy to attack him after being injured, so he was caught off guard.
He was kicked a long way, and a pillar blocked his backward momentum, bringing him to a stop.
But when the little boy crashed into the pillar, the pain was so intense that he almost vomited blood.
"Boss, are you alright?" The short man helped the scarred man up. "By the way, boss, let's run! Those two brats' parents have no intention of paying the ransom. They secretly called the police. I just heard police sirens nearby. Let's run!"
"Damn it! These guys dared to trick me!" Scarface was furious upon hearing the news, unleashing a torrent of profanities. "If I don't teach them a lesson today, how am I supposed to survive in this world?"
"Go tell Fatty to set the place on fire when we leave. I want them to lose their sons in their old age!" Scarface gave the order viciously.
"Yes, boss, I'll go right away!" The short man obeyed the order and quickly went to call the fat man who was guarding the other side.
It turned out that they had made two preparations in advance; the area around the abandoned warehouse had already been doused with gasoline.
With just one fire, the bound little girl and the now weak little boy, too weak to struggle, would be burned to ashes.
