Chapter 2438 — Something Seems Off?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Huh?" Robber Number Two was momentarily stunned. He had not expected anyone to step forward and speak up under these circumstances. Tired of living, was he? Robber Number Two turned his head coldly and looked at Kang Jinglong, who was striding over, and said flatly, "Kid, you looking to die?"
"Hmph! The young lady already told you, this jade pendant has sentimental value. For all you know, it could be the only keepsake her parents left behind... ah, no, wait—the keepsake her grandfather left behind!" Kang Jinglong had blurted the words out without thinking, but when he saw Wang Xinyan's expression change, he remembered that both her parents were still alive and only her grandfather had passed away, so he hurriedly corrected himself.
The whole point of playing the hero and saving the beauty was to make Wang Xinyan look at him with new eyes and leave a good impression of him! If he cursed her parents as dead, what kind of good impression could that possibly leave?
"Keepsake my ass! Say one more word, and I'll make this your keepsake!" Robber Number Two snarled. Kang Jinglong had dared to challenge his authority, and that naturally annoyed him—especially now, when the robbery was about to wrap up and someone had to step forward and make him even more displeased.
Kang Jinglong thought to himself: ugly as Robber Number Two's words were, his acting was actually pretty convincing. If he weren't so crude and foul-mouthed, he wouldn't seem like a real robber at all!
"Hey, this young lady is my fiancée! If you want to bully her, you'll have to get through me first!" Kang Jinglong declared with an air of righteous indignation.
Wei Zhao, who had been about to act, now watched the suddenly appearing Kang Jinglong with keen interest. What was this kid's purpose in jumping out now? As far as Wei Zhao was concerned, Kang Jinglong was not the sort of brainless fool who would leap out the moment he saw his woman being bullied.
If he were truly the type to fly into a rage for the sake of a beauty, he would have confronted Wei Zhao long ago. Why wait until now? So Wei Zhao found the whole thing a bit strange! But no matter what, now that Kang Jinglong had stepped forward, Wang Xinyan was out of danger for the time being, and Wei Zhao would not stir up trouble now for no reason.
And when Kang Jinglong saw that Wei Zhao had not moved, he was delighted! This Robber Number Two must be the Heaven-rank expert. When the Heaven-rank pressure was released in front of Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao did not dare make the slightest peep!
Because Kang Jinglong figured that Wei Zhao would normally have acted long ago. Since he had not, there had to be a reason! The more he thought about it, the more confident he grew. He pointed at Robber Number Two and scoffed, "Turn me into a keepsake, will you? Then let's see you try! Even if I have to fight to the death today, I won't let you get away with this!"
"Then you can damn well go to hell!" Robber Number Two was furious. What was wrong with this kid's brain? Could he not see that they were armed to the teeth with knives, guns, and clubs? And this kid was going to charge in bare-handed?
"I won't let you bully my fiancée even if it kills me!" Kang Jinglong walked over and threw his arms around Robber Number Two, shouting loudly.
"Motherf—! You little bastard, you've got a death wish, don't you?" Robber Number Two cursed foully. Just as Kang Jinglong was thinking how convincingly Robber Number Two was acting, he suddenly felt a muffled *crack* against his head—a heavy blow from behind!
In an instant, Kang Jinglong's head was spinning. A large bloody lump swelled up on the back of his skull, and blood gushed from his nose in a streaming torrent—a truly frightening sight!
With a miserable cry, Kang Jinglong turned his reeling head, only to see Robber Number Four standing there holding a bloodstained wooden club, glaring at him viciously!
