Chapter 1084
In an abandoned construction site on the outskirts of Silver City, a group of kidnappers were deep into their card game.
One of them, having lost a decent sum, was in a foul mood, cursing under his breath, “Damn it, what rotten luck! Can we not get a bit of fun with the girl? I’m all wound up here, needing some release p>
“Cut it out,” another snapped. “Boss said she’s off-limits until the artifact is in our hands p>
“So what? We’re going to off her once we get it anyway. What’s the harm in a little fun now p>
“Just drop it, will you? You want the boss to blow his top and put a bullet in you p>
The man who lost money scowled even darker and made his way over to where Blossom lay, unleashing a vicious kick and punch combo on the man on the ground beside her.
Blossom struggled harder, crying and shaking her head, emitting muffled sobs.
Clearly, she didn’t want the kidnappers touching the man on the ground.
After a few more brutal kicks and spitting on the man, the kidnapper grabbed Blossom by the chin, “Damn it, keep it down, will you? My luck’s been crap all night because of your blubbering. Make one more peep, and I swear I’ll end you right here p>
Blossom’s tears flowed even more freely, her face flushed from fear and her messy hair sticking to her tear-streaked face.
The kidnapper licked his lips, making a swallowing gesture, then turned to his mates, “A little rubbing against her won’t hurt, right? She’s got the looks, and I can’t hold back any longer p>
His companions were too engrossed in their game to pay him any heed.
Ignoring them, the man began unbuckling his belt, hurling obscenities all the while.
Blossom’s eyes widened in terror.
Desperately struggling, she shook her head, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly hopeless.
“Look at you, all cute and tempting. A real tease, huh? Let me have a little taste before we get our hands on the artifact,” the man sneered. Suddenly, a knife flew through the air, striking the man’s groin with deadly precision!
He froze, then screamed, his agony echoing throughout the dilapidated building.
The other kidnappers spun around, alert and searching, “Who’s there p>
Stones flew, hitting some in the eyes, others in sensitive spots p>
Before they could react, a shadowy figure appeared, moving with lightning speed among them.
After a brief commotion, all the kidnappers lay defeated.
Blossom, her face a mask of terror, recognized her rescuer and immediately broke down, “Axel p>
Axel frowned and removed the tape from her mouth.
Blossom burst into tears, like a child finding solace in the arms of a parent.
Axel’s lips twitched, but he remained silent, bending down to untie her.
The moment her hands were free, Blossom wrapped them around Axel’s neck, clinging to him and sobbing uncontrollably.
Axel stiffened, unaccustomed to such closeness with a woman, yet he didn’t push her away, gently freeing her legs from their binds.
Once free, Blossom threw herself into his arms, wrapping around him like an octopus.
“I was so scared,” she sobbed into his chest.
