BXBX NOVEL Chapter 458 DON’T LOOK
Chapter 458 DON\'T LOOK
"Change of plans, Jayden," Apple said on the phone to the man, then hung up.
"Sh*t!" Jayden cursed loudly when he heard a tone from his cell phone indicating that the line had been disconnected.
Not long after, they could see the harbor in the distance. From this distance, it looked like it would take about two to three minutes to arrive at the place where they had agreed to meet.
During these two minutes, Jayden couldn\'t calm down. He knew that Apple would stop the man and if he were there, he would probably do the same.
But, it was very dangerous and Apple was out there alone.
For now, all Jayden could do was hope that Apple could handle the guy well and didn\'t mess with their plans.
Jayden would miss this golden opportunity to catch the head of this organization if Apple messed up their plans just to save a stranger.
However, for some reason, Jayden was much more concerned about Apple\'s safety than about the success of their plan.
Maybe this was because he was too afraid to imagine what Pyro would do if Apple got hurt in this mission.
Maybe in the end, recruiting Apple to be his personal bodyguard and bringing this girl into this situation wasn\'t such a good idea.
But, Jayden didn\'t regret it...
=====================
Apple moved quickly and swiftly, each step so light and silent, that in the matter of a few seconds, she was behind the man who was hurting the girl. The lecher had his back facing Apple.
It was the girl who saw Apple first with a knife in her hand, while she put her finger to her lips, asking the victim not to make a sound and give away her whereabouts.
Therefore, the young girl closed her eyes and pressed her lips together, in order to prevent herself from screaming and wished that this stranger would save her quickly, because she could no longer contain her disgust for the man who was touching her.
On the other hand, when Apple got very close to the man, the first thing she did was plunge the knife into the man\'s neck and slash the arteries in his neck, so that he couldn\'t scream because of the blood pooling in his mouth.
Only then did Apple kick the worthless man\'s body away from the young girl.
The man fell to the ground with his face hitting the ground first, letting out a low gurgling and grunting sound, because he couldn\'t speak.
Seeing that, Apple again attacked the man by stabbing him in the chest, right where his heart was. Her free hand was covering his mouth, causing him to choke on his own blood while feeling an unimaginable amount of pain.
Apple did it coolly, as if she had done it several times.
It was hard to imagine a woman as young as Apple could do this, but her moves were so precise and she didn\'t look the least bit intimidated.
And within seconds, the bastard was no longer able to scream or move. He just died without even putting up any meaningful resistance and it was a death he deserved.
After finishing with the man, Apple then walked over to the young girl who was still cowering in fear and crying silently.
She then took hold of her hand, trying to help her up, but since the girl had her eyes closed she didn\'t know that it was Apple who had touched her, so she screamed in terror, trying to get away from Apple\'s touch.
"Relax, it\'s fine. It\'s all over, you\'ll be fine." Apple tried to calm the girl down as much as possible, because she didn\'t want anyone to hear her screaming.
She would be in trouble if the men found out that someone had killed their friend.
"Hey, hey, hey," Apple tried to calm her down. "Open your eyes, you\'re fine now," she said.
It wasn\'t until the young girl heard Apple\'s voice that she was sure that she was safe. Slowly, she opened her eyes and found a young girl wearing all black, looking back at her worriedly.
The girl didn\'t have time to notice the blood on Apple\'s hands when she hugged her and started crying.
Apple hugged her back and tried to comfort her with words, but she couldn\'t comfort her for long, because she had important things to do now.
"Where are those people taking you?" Apple asked the girl after she let go of her hug. She was still shaking and it could be heard clearly as she spoke.
"They… they will take us on a ship…" she stammered. "They said… they would sell us."
She overheard the conversation as the men who caught them were chatting along the way.
"Do you know which ship will take you?" Apple asked, hoping for a clue, but then she saw the girl shake her head. "Okay, go now. Get away from this place."
Apple then told the girl where she had to go. She would meet some men who would save her and take her back to her house to be with her family.
"Don\'t look back," Apple said quickly when the girl noticed the blood on Apple\'s hands and was about to turn her head back to see the lifeless body of the man who had attacked her, but Apple quickly stopped her. "You won\'t like what you see. Now, go in the direction I told you to, okay?"
The girl nodded and ran in the direction Apple told her to.
Meanwhile, Apple gave the dead man one last look before she finally continued her mission to follow the men, who were leading the children and teenagers away.
The atmosphere in the harbor was very noisy, therefore she did not need to be careful in approaching the people she had seen.
Luckily it didn\'t take long for Apple to find them again.
