Before Xavia left, Zivon called out, “…Xavia.”
Staring at his eyes that were darker than the darkest night, Xavia heard him say, “…Take good care of Maison and yourself…”
…She hadn’t heard him speak to her in such a tone for the longest time… The fact that he was using that tone so calmly when he was potentially going to die soon only served to make her even more moved… In the end, she couldn’t help but say, “…I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done…”
Upon hearing that, Zivon’s gaze momentarily deepened as he watched her drag Maison off… While he wouldn’t have been moved by such an apology anytime else, at the moment, he no longer felt any displeasure or anger… As it turned out, all he had truly wanted was for her to properly apologize…
His train of thought was cut short when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps approaching. It hadn’t even been ten minutes yet! From how slowly Xavia and Maison ran, Zivon was also pretty sure that they hadn’t gotten far yet by this point… and the last thing he wanted was for them to get into any danger.
As his mind raced to find a solution, he soon noticed a sharp bamboo stick lying nearby. Quickly grabbing it, he then held his breath… before jabbing the sharpened end on an acupuncture point on his arm!
Soon enough, blood began flowing out… and any remnants of the drug came flowing out as well! Feeling some of his strength returning to him, Zivon then sharpened his senses… and the second the men came running past, he used the bamboo stick to stab them!
Since they had been running in a line, the first person gave out a yelp of pain before toppling backward, sending the rest of the men falling atop each other!
Now that the men were sitting ducks, Zivon quickly got up and grabbed the hand of the first person… before twisting it hard and flinging the man aside! Following that, he kicked the second person—who was just about to get up again—with extreme precision, sending more people toppling to the ground again!
It was clear that they hadn’t anticipated that Zivon would ambush them instead! Regardless, they were now infuriated by his actions…!
“Quite a strategist you are, Young Master Burton…! I guess we don’t need to hold back, then!”
“Everyone! Attack!” roared the leader as all six of the men revealed their iron rods before charging toward Zivon!
