113. Zoe Davis

Chapter 113

Zoe Davis

Osborne, standing tall and firm, finally entered the room.

He was surprised to see the girl, having never expected that, in her desperation, she would fight back and personally kill a gang member.

The ferocity with which the girl stabbed the man in the neck. even shocked Osborne.

But after all, she was just a girl.

Seeing that she was about to be in danger, Osborne couldn't hold back anymore. He kicked the wooden door open and stared coldly at the remaining five gang members.

"Who dares to harm her!"

Osborne's icy voice, filled with murderous intent, seemed to come straight from hell, striking fear into everyone's hearts.

However, to the desperate girl, his voice was like a melody from heaven.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked towards Osborne.

The five gang members also turned to look at Osborne. After their initial panic, they calmed down.

When they saw that Osborne was alone, they showed a fierce glint.

"You're looking for death!

"Trying to save this bitch and mess up our plans. Go to hell!"

One of the gang members charged at Osborne with a small knife, viciously aiming for his chest.

"Be careful!"

The girl cried out.

Osborne just smirked, suddenly reached out, and grabbed the knife, preventing it from even scratching his skin, no matter how hard the attacker tried.

The young man was instantly shocked.

The next second, he felt an irresistible force take his knife and then stab it into his chest.

The knife pierced his heart, and although blood did not flow out immediately, once Osborne coldly twisted the knife, the young man's eyes bulged, and he fell down.

He died!

"Scum like you don't deserve to live."

Osborne murmured and then turned his gaze to the other four, who were now terrified, their bodies shaking violently. Gritting their teeth, they quickly pulled out handguns.

But before they could fire, Osborne's eyes widened, and he swiftly snatched away their handguns.

The handguns, controlled by his gaze, floated in the air, aimed at the heads of the four men.

They were stunned by this eerie scene and fell to their knees, raising their hands in horror.

"Spare us!

"Sir, please let us go. We know we were wrong. We won't dare again!

"Don't kill us, we know we were wrong."

The four men pleaded in agony.

The girl was also stunned.

Filled with excitement and admiration, she looked at Osborne as if she were seeing a deity.

"Is this a power?!"

The girl stood up, cautiously asking.

Osborne looked at her, and he felt a bit dazed despite himself.

He felt they were so similar!

She looked so much like her!!

Seeing her face, Osborne couldn't help but think of his sister, and his demeanor softened as he smiled, "Yes, this is my power. My name is Osborne. What's yours?"

The girl got excited again.

"Osborne, my name is Zoe Davis! Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have…"

Her eyes suddenly filled with endless anger and murderous. intent as she stared at the four gang members, biting her lip tightly.

"Osborne, can you leave them to me?"

Zoe asked, pleading.

Osborne raised an eyebrow. "Leave them to you? How do you plan to deal with them?"

Zoe didn't speak but continued to look at him pleadingly.

Osborne hesitated and then nodded. "Alright! They are yours to deal with."

At his words, Zoe took a deep breath.

Her gaze turned icy cold, resembling that of a heartless assassin, which surprised Osborne as he watched her take a handgun from a corpse. After a moment's thought, he didn't stop her.

The next second, Zoe, with lips tightly pressed, aimed the gun at the heads of the four men.

"You scum, go to hell!

"Die!"

The gunshots echoed, Zoe's hands steady, each bullet finding its target, shattering their heads like hitting watermelons.

Her face remained cold, and her eyes filled with the thrill of revenge.

But once everything was over, and she saw the ghastly scene, her face turned deathly pale, and she suddenly began to vomit.

Osborne stood still for a long time before walking over to her, gently patting her back.

"You did nothing wrong. They deserved to die, so don't feel guilty.

"It's okay now. It's all over!"

Osborne's comforting words seemed to have a magical effect, and Zoe quickly regained her composure. Biting her lip, she looked up at Osborne, and her eyes filled with hopeful light.

"Osborne, you saved me. My life is yours now! I'm an orphan. Please take me in. I can do anything for you!

"I promise!

"Is that okay?"

Zoe looked at Osborne, hopeful yet anxious, afraid that he might refuse.

Osborne was stunned.

He thought, "Take in Zoe?".

Osborne frowned. "Why do you need me to take you in? You're grown up, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Zoe bit her lip tightly.

"Because I want to become as strong as you, so strong that no one would dare to bully me again! Don't worry. I won't be a burden to you. I have power too. I just don't know how to use them."

"You have power loo?"

Osborne was extremely surprised.

In this world, ordinary people were the majority, and metahumans were exceedingly rare, each one considered a favorite of the heavens.

Typically, metahumans were found only within ancient families.

It was very rare to find a metahuman among common folk.

Osborne hadn't expected Zoe to have power. With such power, shouldn't she have been recruited by a major power by now?

He thought, "Could it be that her power was some kind of lesser, supportive power?"

After thinking this over, Osborne asked, "What power do you have?"

Zoe hesitated and then said, "I discovered early on that whenever I sing, everyone listens very attentively, and they never interrupt me. Could that be considered a power?"

As she finished, her face was filled with uncertainty.

Osborne couldn't help but chuckle. "Maybe they listen attentively because your singing is just very pleasant."

He didn't really believe it was a power.

"It's not just that, Osborne! It's definitely not that simple! How about I sing for you? Just half a song, and you'll definitely feel there's something different."

Zoe was somewhat anxious.

Osborne thought for a moment and then shook his head. "We need to leave this place! You just fired a gun, and the gunshot will soon attract gang members. We should leave first.

"As for your power, we can explore it later."

Hearing this, Zoe became anxious. "Then, will you take me in? I really won't be a burden. I can learn anything, and I learn fast."

Osborne couldn't help but laugh.

He naturally patted Zoe's head and said, "Let's go! From now on, you're with me, but following me could be dangerous. Are you scared?"

"I'm not scared!"

Zoe looked up firmly and said, "As long as I can be with you, no matter how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid. Plus, I'll definitely protect you in the future!"

Zoe spoke as if she were making a solemn vow.

Osborne was moved.

In fact, even if Zoe hadn't said anything, Osborne had thought of keeping Zoe by his side because she looked too much like Anastasia.

They were about the same age and looked so alike, and most importantly, both were orphans!

Osborne suspected there might be a blood relation between Zoe and Anastasia.

Anastasia was someone he had found fifteen years ago.

Zoe had been an orphan as long as she could remember. He wondered if she could possibly be Anastasia's twin sister.

To figure this out, Osborne was determined to take Zoe with him.

But right now, the priority was to deal with Raymond.

he sound of approaching footsteps. It seemed many gang members were on their way. He quickly grabbed Zoe's hand and hurried away.

Before they could be surrounded, they ran out.

Osborne looked at Zoe and said, "Zoe, I have something very important to do now. It's very dangerous, and it's not safe to bring you along. Can you wait here for me, and I'll come back for you after I'm done?"

Hearing this, Zoe looked tense.

She tightly grasped Osborne's sleeve as if terrified he would leave her behind.

She shook her head and said, "I don't want to stay behind! I'm afraid you won't want me anymore! Whatever it is you need to do, let me accompany you. I said it. No matter how dangerous, I'm not afraid as long as I can be with you.

"And, I can help you! I know this area very well."

Desperation was evident in Zoe's eyes.

Looking into her eyes, Osborne felt his resolve soften. He frowned in hesitation.

He thought, "Taking Zoe to find Raymond?"

Osborne worried he might not be able to protect Zoe. Even a stray hit from Raymond could endanger her.

That was something Osborne could not accept.

"Can I follow you from a distance? Please, Osborne, don't leave me behind! I've been abandoned by my parents since I was young. Please don't abandon me."

Tears welled up in Zoe's eyes and suddenly fell.

Osborne was moved and finally softened.

Osborne took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Then you follow me from a distance, but not too close! Also, put on this Defensive Soft Armor."

He took off his Class B Defensive Soft Armor and gave it to Zoe to wear.

With the Class B Defensive Soft Armor, even if Raymond were to directly attack Zoe, it would take some time to harm her.

This way, Zoe would be safer.

However, Osborne himself would be in much greater danger while dealing with Raymond.

Yet, Osborne said nothing.

"Zoe, I need to go to Hyena Gang to find someone. Do you know Hyena Gang?"

Zoe got excited.

"Hyena Gang? Of course, I know them! Because I used to

survive by washing clothes for Hyena Gang!

"Osborne, I'll show you the way!"
