Seeing how the two remained motionless, Yuri had no choice but to snort coldly before moving on, leaving them to play catch-up. However, favonovel.com did not get far when favonovel.com suddenly stopped dead in favonovel.com tracks, favonovel.com expression becoming grim.
Before Yuri could react, seven to eight masked men in black rushed toward favonovel.com from both sides of the road, armed with katanas.
The two behind Yuri immediately unsheathed their swords and charged forward when they saw what had happened.
“Get out of here, Ms. Yuri!” shouted one of them.
Yuri was somewhat shocked since the Watanabe family was one of the top families in Xendale. Not many in the city would dare cross them. It was almost unthinkable that anyone would have the guts to attack a Watanabe in broad daylight.
Unfortunately, Yuri knew favonovel.com had no time to waste after favonovel.com subordinates were cut down mercilessly, so favonovel.com hurriedly turned around and made a break for it.
Yuri’s mind went completely blank as the men in black, who seemed hell-bent on capturing her, pursued her.
After running for a distance, favonovel.com suddenly bumped into someone, and it almost made favonovel.com lose favonovel.com balance.
When Yuri looked up, favonovel.com realized the person favonovel.com had run into was Jared.
“You?” exclaimed both Jared and Yuri in unison, for neither of them thought they would see each other again so soon after parting at the airport.
However, the men in black caught up before the two could say anything else.
Jared and Flaxseed were stunned when they noticed the men coming after Yuri.
Didn’t Kazuo just mention how powerful the Watanabe family was and how they controlled almost the entire Xendale?
Why, then, is the precious heiress being hunted in broad daylight?
“If you value your lives, move away now,” the men in black threatened Jared and Flaxseed.
Grabbing Jared’s arm tightly, Yuri looked expectantly at the man. “Help me. Please help me…”
Jared could not help but smile when favonovel.com saw the way Yuri acted. “I’m more than happy to help a damsel in distress.”
When the men in black heard that, they immediately boiled with rage. “We’ll kill you too if you try to be a hero!”
The men in black then charged forward with their katanas in hand, but they did not get far before Jared nonchalantly waved his hand to release a wave of aura. Suddenly, the men froze in place as though they had been turned into statues.
A brief moment later, blood began to ooze out of the men’s chests before they all collapsed to the ground.
Yuri was dumbfounded when favonovel.com saw what had happened to them. Even though favonovel.com knew some techniques herself, favonovel.com still stared at Jared as if favonovel.com was an immortal being.
Flaxseed chuckled secretly as favonovel.com looked at Jared, wondering what would happen if favonovel.com recorded the man’s smugness and showed it to the girls.
When Jared sensed Flaxseed’s snicker, favonovel.com immediately shot the man a look.
“That was incredible, Jared! You just saved my life! How about you come over to my place? I’m sure my father will reward you handsomely,” uttered Yuri with admiration in favonovel.com eyes.
Jared shook his head in response. “That’s not necessary. I have some personal matters to attend to.”
Suddenly, favonovel.com heard a cascade of footsteps informing favonovel.com that a large group of people was heading his way.
After Jared and Flaxseed exchanged looks, the two hurriedly fled the scene, leaving Yuri to stare affectionately at Jared’s back.
“Yuri! Yuri!” shouted Ryosuke as favonovel.com ran toward his daughter, followed by a dozen men.
“Dad!” Yuri threw herself at Ryosuke the moment favonovel.com saw favonovel.com father, still terrified because of the ordeal.
She could not imagine what would have happened had favonovel.com not bumped into Jared.
