Just as the two of them were busy helping Savir, he gave a hint to the other two who were not injured.
They quietly retreated and moved behind Jasmine and Fade carefully. Savir gave them a signal. They took out wooden sticks that were as thick as their arms and smashed it hard on their backs.
Their actions were fierce and unexpected. Had they been any ordinary people, they would never have been able to react to it.
However, Fade and Jasmine were both martial artists. They were able to react quickly, and with a light leap, they dodged their vicious attacks.
"What are you guys doing?" Jasmine glared at them in confusion and anger as she questioned them sternly.
Savir did not expect their sneak attack to fail. He was shocked, but then his face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Since you have found out about it, then I won't beat around the bush anymore. Leave behind your food, water, medicine and bags."
"What do you mean by that?" Jasmine asked coldly.
Savir sneered and said, "What do I mean? The ravine is over 30 meters high. The road in front is blocked and there is no way out. There are not many people here, and we don't know how long it will take for rescuers to find us."
"We lost our food and water, and we haven't eaten anything for a whole day. Originally, we were in despair, but we did not expect you two to fall down here with so much food and water."
Hearing what he said, Jasmine's heart turned cold and she said, "If you want food and water, you should have just told us. I would have given it to you. Why would you ambush us?"
Savir sneered and said, "You’d give us your food? Do you think I'll believe you? Besides, the amount of food is limited and there are six of us. If we can have fewer people to share the food, our chances of survival will be bigger."
"You, you..." Jasmine could no longer speak coherently, "Mr. Chen and I have a way out. We were originally going to bring you out with us so how could you treat us like that? How could you..."
"Haha..." Savir sneered, "It's too late. There's no point in lying anymore. We're in a desperate situation and our only goal is to survive. I can do anything to survive." "Leave your bags behind now, and I will spare your lives." Savir ordered with a cold smile.
Jasmine was so angry that she was trembling. She never expected her good intentions to be maliciously intimidated in return, nor did she expect them to ambush her.
Fade patted Jasmine's back and said faintly, "There's no need to be angry with them. If that's the case, we'll just leave them here."
After that, Fade picked up his bag and was about to leave.
Savir’s expression changed when he saw it. He cried out loud, "You think you can leave? It won't be that easy."
"Don't let them leave and most importantly, don't let them leave with their bags."
Hearing Savir's orders, the two people who were uninjured and armed with wooden sticks, charged fiercely toward Jasmine and Fade. It seemed like they were desperate for a fight.
Fade's face turned cold. Without waiting for them to approach him, he struck out with his palm. An invisible force sent them flying through the air.
On the other hand, Jasmine was soft-hearted. She did not attack the girl ruthlessly, but she still knocked her away easily.
"You..." Savir and the others did not expect Fade and Jasmine to know martial arts. They were
shocked.
"Mr. Chen, I, in the valley, they..." Jasmine said.
Fade asked, "Are you worried about Savir and the others?"
Jasmine nodded and said softly, "Even though they didn't treat us well, it's still four human lives. If we leave them there, they will surely die. I..."
Fade said, "I understand what you mean, but life is cruel. In the future, once you enter the martial arts world, the world will be even cruder. Things like that will keep happening. Sometimes, you have to learn not to be soft."
"I, I understand!" Jasmine nodded gently. Even though she said it in such a manner, it was still difficult for her to accept it.
Fade sighed softly. He knew that it was still difficult for Jasmine to quickly accept the cruel reality of the martial arts world. She was too pure and innocent.
He patted Jasmine's head lightly and said with a smile, "Even though I said that, the four of them will still be fine."
"Really? But, they were so deep in the mountains and forests. They..." Jasmine could not believe it.
Fade pointed at a team approaching them from afar. "Do you see that? They're probably members of the search and rescue team. They'll reach there soon. It'll take them two days at most to reach them. Savir and the rest will be saved."
"There are so many plants in the ravine. As long as they can endure hardships, they can survive for two days. This should be considered a lesson for them." Fade said.
Jasmine was finally relieved. She nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
