Momo Soo was the only one that he had ever cared about. That was why he was indifferent when Haldon Guo had ordered to grab Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang. In fact, he was rather supportive of the idea.
But now that Momo Soo was about to suffer, Mikael Xu couldn't just sit there. He hesitated for a while, before he got up and shouted, "Master Guo!"
Haldon Guo turned his head towards where Mikael Xu's voice was coming from and said, "Mikael Xu, what are you doing?"
Mikael Xu smiled faintly, pointed at Momo Soo and said, "Master Guo, Miss Soo and I are friends. I was wondering if Master Guo would do me a favor, and let Miss Soo go?"
"Uh..." Haldon Guo's brows furrowed, obviously not expecting Mikael Xu to help Momo Soo out of this mess.
Everyone had the look of astonishment on their face. After all, they were completely aware of the fact that Momo Soo and Mikael Xu were mere acquaintances.
But the Momo Soo right now who had heard this rebuked, "Since when have we become
friends? I don't know you at all. Don't you dare play that card to get close to me."
Upon hearing that, Mikael Xu's expression fell, and his eyes were filled with fury.
Chessca Tan, who was standing aside, shouted, "Momo, apologize to Master Xu! Now! How can you say something like that when Master Xu's trying to help you?"
To her dismay, Momo Soo answered her disdainfully, "Have I ever asked for his help?"
The crowd began whispering among themselves all of a sudden. Even Haldon Guo couldn't wipe the smug smile on his face as he said to Mikael Xu, "Mikael Xu, it looks to me that this young lady doesn't know you!"
Mikael Xu couldn't help but to frown as he took in a deep breath, all to suppress the rage boiling up in him and said, "Miss Soo, I just really wanted to help you here."
He paused, before he said again, "Miss Soo, since you are from South Bay City, you may not be familiar with the happenings in Hanover City. Master Guo was never known to be merciful to his enemies."
On that note, Mikael Xu stole a glance at Haldon Guo, cupping his fist with his hands.
Haldon Guo nodded, as he looked towards Momo Soo and said, "I'll let you leave with Mikael, since you weren't involved in the previous argument. This is my offer to you, for Mikael's sake."
Mikael Xu's lips broke into a smile when he heard the words coming out of Master Guo's mouth. He turned to look at Momo Soo with pride written all over his face.
Chessca Tan, on the other hand, couldn't wait to call out to her as she said, "Momo, come here quickly. Master Guo just showed you mercy, and Master Xu did you a favor. Don't let it slip away."
Momo Soo curled her lips and seemed unmoved as she said, "I don't care about Master Xu or Master Guo. What can you do to me if I refuse to leave?"
The few people who were smiling before had the grin from their smiles erased as their faces were drained of color upon hearing what she had said.
Haldon Guo snorted, then snarled, "You ungrateful little b*tch. I'll let my men have their turn with you after mine."
Mikael Xu's face turned an even darker shade, starting to get a little pissed off.
Chessca Tan yelled hastily, "Momo, what the hell are you talking about? Apologize to Master Guo and Master Xu immediately!"
Momo Soo had dismissed her entirely, and she pointed at Haldon Guo, as she said to Fade Chen, "Brother Fade, that man has a dirty mouth. I'd like to give him a few slaps later."
Fade Chen nodded lightly and answered, "It's just a few slaps, no big deal. I'll let you rip his mouth off too, if you want to."
They were simple moves, simple punches and simple kicks: nothing fancy much. His feet had never even left the ground.
A series of "pow"s that could be heard alongside his movements. The guards were no match for Fade Chen at all. He outed them one by one with a single move, sending them flying across the room.
"What, what the hell's going on here?"
"That young man is a martial arts master!"
"What level is that? It's amazing!"
The crowd were still in the middle of a discussion, but Fade Chen had already rushed towards Yuri Zhang and Momo Soo in a flash. He grabbed onto the guards who tried to snatch them, one in each hand and flung them onto the ground.
The guards yelped out in pain and were thrown directly towards Haldon Guo's line of sight.
Haldon Guo turned pale with fright at the sight of this. He had yet to recover from the injuries that Fade Chen had bestowed onto him, but he was once again placed in danger due to this man's brilliant moves. He couldn't help but panic, his instincts leading him to retreat. Instead, he staggered and tripped over himself, almost falling over.
Just as the flying guards were about to slam into Haldon Guo, Scarface, who was standing behind him let out a battle cry as he deflected them off with his fists.
Two distinctive, yet muffled sounds could be heard from the bouncers.
Scarface had hit them both hard on the chest, which sent them flying in the opposite direction once again. Blood spat out of their mouths as they landed heavily on the ground and stopped moving.
Everyone was immensely shocked at this point and once again started to engage in heated discussion.
