Let's Escape

- Marshall Chen Office -

With one knock and without waiting for an answer, Venusa got inside the room carrying a big bowl of warm water, a lotion, a small towel, and a shaver.

Damian Shen was in deep thought and he didn't hear her coming until she was facing him and placing all the things she had carried on the table.

Their eyes locked and she sat down and said, " If I was your enemy, you would get killed instantly..., why the sad face? Let me cheer you up!"

She lifted up the shaver like a butcher ready to kill a pig.

"What is that tool?"

"My son wanted you to have this as a welcome gift.., it's a shaver..., let me clean you up, Marshal Shen!"

Without waiting for a reply, she came around to stand behind him. She pulled him down until he slouched on the chair. She placed the little towel under his chin, lotion on his bushy beard and expertly shaved him.

Within 10 minutes, Damian Shen's face was clean and smooth like a baby buttock.

She gaped at his handsome naked face, mesmerizing by his deep gentle gazed and while he still slouching on the chair, in an instant, she was carefully towering him from the back and kissed him gently and smoothly for the longest time.

Damian Shen was trembling with the familiarity of the kiss, even though this was the first time they kissed passionately. He placed both of his hands on her head and deepened the kiss, he even playfully inserted his tongue, he was ready to bite on her lips when she tensed with a sudden recollection and ended the passionate kiss.

Still was in a dense, he looked at her like a drunkard in a stupor and said softly, " You tasted like honey..., could I kiss you again?"

She shook her head and replied, " No..., it was a mistake..., you couldn't kiss me anymore!"

She was still trembling with the aftereffect of the gentle kiss, unlike Nick Lang wet kiss that left her felt disgusted at herself, his powerful masculine kiss was a pure delight that made her tremble with desire. But then, she was reading his expression, and she knew from past experience that he wanted to bite her and he would feel her second skin if he bit her face.

While Damian Shen was aroused from the first moment he saw her. When she shaved his beard gently, he felt the warmth of being loved, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and spoiled her with his love.

Love..., indeed he had fallen hopelessly in love with her.

Breaking his dangerous thought with a cringe, he said, " Time to get ready and go the disclosed location, guard Lee!"

She nodded in agreement and together they exited the room to bury their enemy for once and for all.

- Rebels temporary headquarters, dining room -

The rebel leader was staring at the little girl awkwardly. This was the first time someone didn't get scared of his appearance. His scarred face would frighten even a grown-up man. It was one of the souvenirs from the evil emperor, the scar was deep and ran from his left eye diagonally to his right cheek, his mouth area was spared, but he looked like a monstrous beast.

"Uncle..., Are you okay?!"

Leah was glancing innocently to his direction and climbed down from her mom's lap, then she went toward him before Marilyn could stop her. Worriedly, Marilyn was up from her chair and following Leah when she jumped happily on her uncle's lap and smiled alluringly angelic.

With fear, Marilyn sat next to his brother, leaving the other side of the long table empty.

"Uncle..., What happened to your face? Are they hurt?!", said Leah while she reached up to his scar.

He was tensed and only sat as nothing bothered him, he didn't push her away or hug her. But inwardly, his heart brightens like a sunrise.

Marilyn cringed like a wounded animal but no sound came out from her mouth to stop Leah.

But to her surprise, her brother didn't get mad, instead, she could tell that he enjoyed the affection from his niece even when his face was as cold as an iceberg.

"No!", the leader mumbled his answer.

That answer was enough to cheer Leah and she hugged him tightly to consoled him because for a moment his eyes were glistering with sadness.

They were just finishing lunch when a mousy man come forward to report an urgent message.

That man was commander Luo. Marilyn knew that he was back yesterday to spy on Marshal Shen, and this morning, he even took them as hostages. She was fearful that the traitor would leak important news that would hurt the man that she loved with all her heart, Marshal Shen.

The Leader locked Leah and Marilyn inside their spacious bedroom before he headed out to his office.

"What happened?", asked the leader with a cold facade, while inwardly he knew something was wrong.

"The bombing plan was a failure, an unknown organization from overseas had neutralized all the bombs and they are coming for us as we speak, they knew of our hiding place, this mansion is not safe anymore...., we only have 2 hours heads up to leave this place..., let's escape leader..., we are outnumbered..., their new recruits was not a joke, they had been trained hard and they were fierce and in a high spirit to fight...., Leader..."

"We fight to dead! Now or never! I would revenge my clan and finished off all the Emperor dogs!", snapped the leader with deep hatred and agony.

"Leader..., I grew up with you..., I witnessed our parent's demise, I even saw what the evil Emperor had done to you, you were my savior when you hide me and let them torture you instead..., I had pledged my life to you since that moment.., I have been trembling since morning..., I have a bad premonition about this..., Leader..., we could wait for another time..., staying here..., we would die.., leaving..., we would live..., Please..., Leader!"

"Mark Luo..., take my sister and niece to safety..., go back together with them to the Shen residence and lived quietly and peacefully! I want to die with dignity and I don't want to run from my fate anymore..., today..., I and Marshal Shen would fight until one of us die!"

"Leader...., Please..., Don't die..."

Mark Luo was sobbing like a baby..., today the first time after their parents died that he finally called him by his name. He was also like him, he became a madman, he even suggested him to kill his only family, but he slapped him hard. He was only a madman in disguise just like him, but the killing of the innocents had tainted their soul. They lost their way. But for some reason, the slap had awakened him, and in addition, when he saw the angelic little girl, he thought that heaven did exist and now he would use his life to protect them, just as his Leader, Shane Lung..., the cousin of the emperor.., protected his life, his lowly friend, the servant of the family, without care of the consequence, he would use his life as the exchange to save the life of the real descendants of the First Emperor. However, to try to change Shane Lung's mind was a lost cause. His heart was painful and his body was trembling, but his mission was to take Marilyn and Leah to safety. After bowing respectively to the leader, he left immediately to follow his leader's verdict.
