Carl and the rest looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, and their hearts could not help but sink. They knew that this mission was probably not that easy to complete.
To them, be it Jian Ai, Si Yuehan, Xiao Zhen, or Chi Yang, they were all unfamiliar faces. However, since they had just experienced Si Yuehan’s strength, they could not underestimate Xiao Zhen and Chi Yang—these two adult men.
Carl frowned and thought quickly. Was he going to let Lei take action?
He looked around with his peripheral vision. Although they were at the side of the road, it was remote and desolate. If Lei were to take action, there should be no problem.
Xiao Zhen walked to Jian Ai’s side and stood there. Looking at the struggling Jian Ai and the blood at the corner of her mouth, his gloomy eyes suddenly burst out with a fierce glint. He said coldly, “I’ll kill them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already prepared to attack!
Jian Ai was shocked. She did not expect the usually calm and reserved Xiao Zhen to have such a violent side. She reacted and quickly reached out to stop him.
Xiao Zhen condensed the genuine energy in his hand and turned to look at Jian Ai in confusion, as if asking her how she wanted the other party to die.
In the eyes of the twelve guards, whoever injured the sect master would be killed!
The murderous intent in his eyes was the same as the aura surrounding Si Yuehan when he appeared just now. Jian Ai could feel that as long as she nodded, Xiao Zhen would burn the other party to ashes on the spot.
However, Jian Ai didn’t do that. Instead, she held Xiao Zhen’s wrist comfortingly and said weakly, “Don’t be rash.”
It was not that Jian Ai was afraid, but Haoxue was still in the other party’s hands. She did not chase after them with all her might because she wanted to fight to the death with them. Her only goal was to save Haoxue.
Initially, Jian Ai did not think too much about it. However, when she saw that Haoxue had been kidnapped, her first reaction was to chase after her. It was instinctive, and there was no reason for it.
Moreover, she initially thought that it was an ordinary kidnap. Perhaps her family’s private grudge had implicated Haoxue, or a group of desperate criminals wanted to extort a huge ransom.
Unexpectedly, there were four foreigners.
All of this was not as simple as she thought. Even if Jian Ai had not come into contact with the dark side of this world, she knew that there were countless complicated evil forces underground.
She did not want to provoke these troubles, and she was even more afraid that her rashness would implicate the people around her. This was not what she wanted to see.
When Xiao Zhen heard this, even though he could not calm the anger in his heart, he could only obey Jian Ai’s words. He flipped his hand, and the powerful genuine energy instantly dissipated.
Jian Ai dragged her slightly heavy figure to the front and looked at the frightened Ji Haoxue. She revealed a comfortable smile, as if comforting her uneasy emotions.
Then she turned her gaze to Carl. If her intuition was right, this blond, blue-eyed, white man should be their leader.
Although the blue-haired youth seemed to attract more attention, it was obvious that this blond man was the core.
Jian Ai’s expression darkened as she looked at Carl with a serious expression and said, “Let her go, and I’ll let you live.”
This tone seemed to carry a condescending look, but Jian Ai was not deliberately mystifying.. If the three people behind her attacked at the same time, she knew that the other party was not their match.
