At the same time, Sylvia was hurriedly going back home after hearing that something bad happened in the Jiang household. Her bodyguard quickly hopped into her car to drive as fast as they could. She was completely restless right now. Never would she have thought that her family would be targeted immediately by Steve Huang's men after Alisa threatened them at the Jade Imperial Suites. He was so stubborn that he actually ignored her threats and went to trouble Sylvia's family instead. Although her family was rich and capable that they were grouped together among the big four, they were actually the weakest and their family was declining right now. Obviously, a terrifying man like Steve wouldn't let this chance slip by. He was aiming for revenge against her and Alisa, but knowing that he wouldn't be able to defeat the latter, he thought he should aim for other people indirectly, who weren't related to the monstrous woman at all.
Sylvia received a message that threatened her to come home immediately if she wanted to see her family alive for the last time. She was so angry but also helpless at the same time that she couldn't help herself but cry.
"Hurry, Xian! I'm afraid something will happen to them if we're too slow."
"Don't worry, Miss Sylvia. We'll definitely reach there in time—"
"Look out!"
Before he could even finish his sentence, Sylvia screamed in fear as an overspeeding car cut lanes with them and blocked the road. Xian immediately hit the brakes, but their speed was just too fast for the car to stop immediately. The Mercedes Benz violently slammed towards the blocking car. Thankfully, Sylvia and the driver were wearing their seatbelts. However, they still felt the powerful impact from the collision and caused them to get injured. Sylvia almost lost consciousness.
"Are you okay, Miss Sylvia?"
"I-I'm fine..."
Xian was about to feel a little relieved when things took a turn for the worse. A group of men emerged out of the car they had collided into, with each of them wearing black masks like they were some robbers. Sylvia was terrified. They came here to kill her.
"N-No..."
"Miss Sylvia, quickly run away while I'll hold them off!" Xian rushed towards outside to fight the thugs, but he was just a single person while there were currently five of them. Moreover, each of them were carrying sharp knives in their hands, making it more disadvantageous to Xian.
"Xian, be careful!"
Both sides were engaged in a clash. At first, Xian was doing fine against the five of them despite being unarmed. He was a powerful bodyguard, who was employed at a high rate by Sylvia's family to protect her, after all. However, the masked men just sneered in disdain while they kept on stalling for time. Sylvia had a bad feeling about it. Her fears came true soon enough as more cars arrived at the scene. More men came out with weapons and now outnumbered the sole bodyguard of the Jiangs against twenty men.
"Even if he was so skilled, he was soon overpowered by them. He received deep cuts from the knives while he also got beaten by their punches and kicks.
"Xian!" Sylvia screamed tearfully. All she could do was to watch his pitiful bodyguard slowly being beaten and tortured to death.
"Hahaha! I never expected that it would be so easy to lure you out, woman." A sinister laugh came from one of the cars. The door opened at it revealed the mastermind of this ambush, which was Steve.
"Steve, you bastard! Let my bodyguard go!"
"Huh? Are you stupid?"
"Also, what did you do to my family? I swear I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth if you did something to them!"
Sylvia was boiling with anger that she wanted to rush towards him herself and beat him to death, but she knew she was powerless. She wasn't a practitioner of martial arts nor a capable fighter. It would be easy for a ruthless man like Steve, who had killed lots of people in the past, to kill her in a second. However, the man seemed to have other motives for this ambush.
Steve licked his lips as he eyed Sylvia with lecherous stares. "I'm sure you remembered how you and the other woman shamed me on Jade Imperial Suites. I'll make you regret you dared to cross me! I'll be having fun with you tonight as much as I please. After I'm done with you, I'll let my subordinates take their turns in you. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Don't you dare! I'll fight you to death if you ever take a single step." Sylvia tried to threaten him and picked whatever she could use inside the car as a weapon.
Steve and his lackeys only laughed at her mockingly while slowly approaching the car she was in.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Shut up, bitch!" Steve was getting irritated by her consistent threatening that he quickly rushed towards the car and grabbed her hair. Sylvia screamed painfully as she was forcefully dragged out of the car.
"Stop! Don't lay a hand on my young miss!" Xian struggled to get up while clutching his beaten up stomach. Steve didn't spare him a look and focused on dragging Sylvia instead, but he ordered one of the lackeys to beat him up again.
"Silence him."
Xian's figure was turned into a bloody mess. He was miserably beaten halfway to death by now as he was lying in his own pool of blood. Meanwhile, Sylvia's dress was ruthlessly torn off by Steve. She screamed in fear as she tried to escape, but he only dragged her by the hair again and gave her violent slaps. Her face had turned swollen like a pig.
"You've brought this upon yourself. Now, it's time to have a tasteful morsel!" Steve laughed like a maniac and was about to lower his pants to defile her. Sylvia could only watch him in despair while he would violate her soon enough.
However, before he could do the deed, a blurry figure shot out towards him and landed a violent kick towards his side. The sound of bones being crushed by the impact echoed and Steve was flung several meters away and crashed into a nearby tree. He violently vomited blood. Some of his joints were dislocated while his lower rib was broken terribly. It was such a powerful attack that could even damage his well-toned body.
Steve got up angrily and shouted, "Who the fuck kicked me?!"
"It seems that you didn't learn your lesson well enough. Now, you dared to harm my friend indirectly. You are courting death."
He remembered that voice all too well. Steve immediately got the chills upon hearing the devil's dreadful voice that stirred fear into the hearts of her targets. He looked towards where Sylvia was and finally saw the one who sent him flying. Alisa's gaze was aimed at him. It was so cold that it made his legs wobble and his body frozen from the intense murderous aura that erupted from the petite figure.
"W-Why are you here? A-Aren't you supposed to be at the c-company?" His teeth were chattering as he asked her.
"Heh... Do you really think I haven't noticed your men snooping around in the company lately? You even dared to plant some spies in my personnel. If I haven't come here any time sooner, who knows what terrible things you would have already done to Sylvia."
Sylvia was clinging to Alisa's leg for life while crying so hard. The experience she had earlier greatly traumatized her. She really thought that she would be defiled by such a disgusting man like Steve. Seeing her friend breaking down horribly, Alisa felt like her heart was stabbed by a dagger. In the end, she was again too late to protect someone dear to her. Before, she was too late to save her own life. Now, it was her friend's. Although she was still alive and her chastity was still intact, she couldn't help but be angry at herself for not protecting her well .
After calming down Sylvia's frantic crying and leaving her near the severely wounded Xian, Alisa stood up and slowly walked towards Steve with graceful steps. Yet, every step she took felt like a heavy hammer that was slamming down into his heart and causing it to tremble.
"Men, kill her now!" Steve screamed towards all of his lackeys.
All twenty of them were confused as to why their boss was afraid of a mere woman. What they didn't know was that the calmer Alisa was, the more dangerous she was turning into. It was like a calm before the storm. The twenty masked men weren't high level martial arts practitioners so they couldn't feel anything from Alisa. But, Steve's level was sufficient enough to catch a slight glimpse at her swirling energy fused together with her raging and violent emotions.
Alisa made her move and disappeared from their sight. The masked men were taken aback and then suddenly heard a bloodcurdling scream. They all turned toward the source of the voice and saw one of their companions curled like a shrimp on the ground after Alisa had sent out a brutal punch to his stomach.
Alisa once again vanished and moved to another person. All of the men were sprawled on the ground with broken bones in less than five seconds. Still, she didn't even break a sweat. Steve's eyes widened in horror and he desperately tried to crawl his way out there, but she was faster and caught his foot.
"N-no! Spare me, please! If you kill me, you'll face the wrath of the one behind me!" He tried to beg for his life with snot flowing from his nose.
"Die!"
Alisa effortlessly lifted up his body and swung it repeatedly towards the ground as if she was just casually swinging a stick. It was so brutal that Sylvia and Xian could barely look at the horrifying scene. With each slam she made with his body, some skin and flesh would be peeled off while blood sprayed continuously from his mangled body. She didn't stop until Steve's body turned into mush. He died a gruesome death. His innards and blood were splattered all over the place, turning it into a nightmarish memory that would forever haunt the twenty lackeys until the day they died.
"Now, scram before I change my mind." Alisa said without any emotion.
Without even wasting a split second, all of them ran away in fear, fearing for their lives that she would chase them.
