Chapter 126 Crow Gang (10)
As for why they were interesting, it was because these two mercenaries were…demons.
Rock was a demon that had horns on his head and had skin that was as thick as rock. Bats was a demon that was quite thin and had ears that were like that of a bat.
But with these features, there was no mistaking that they were demons.
Not to mention, Bats had even used dark magic at the end. That was the dark energy that had appeared on his dagger when he tried to block Jessica\'s attack.
Staring at the two of them, I wanted to ask Shaka something…
But before I could, there was a large sound that caught us off guard.
Before we could react to what happened, the boss of the Crow Gang suddenly stood up and charged out. We had all been looking at the two demons on the ground and had been completely distracted, including Shaka\'s men who should have been watching over the boss.
So none of us were able to stop him as he suddenly ran towards Haley.
No one knew where he pulled it from, but there was now a dagger that was in his hand.
This dagger had been raised and was moving closer and closer to Haley.
No matter how one looked at it, it didn\'t seem like the boss of the Crow Gang had good intentions towards her.
His plan was to take her as a hostage and make his way out of this place using her. So the first thing that he would need to do was grab her and place this dagger at her neck.
As for whether he would be able to overpower her, the boss didn\'t have any doubts about that.
He was a man and this was a beautiful small woman, so there was no doubt that he would be able to overpower her.
As he moved towards her, he confidently reached the hand that wasn\'t holding the dagger towards Haley. With the way that he reached his hand out, it was as if he could already see himself grabbing her and taking her hostage before it happened.
But it didn\'t happen in the end.
Seeing that the boss was charging at her, Haley suddenly raised both of her hands.
The boss was surprised to see this, but he didn\'t slow down. He just moved the hand with the dagger up to threaten her so that she wouldn\'t do anything foolish.
However, Haley wasn\'t afraid of the approaching dagger at all.
Instead, her eyes became serious as she watched the dagger coming closer and closer, as if she was focused on the trajectory of the dagger.
When the boss\' hand was almost touching her, Haley suddenly turned around and moved forward. The boss was completely caught off guard by this, so his hand moved over her shoulder and past her.
The boss wanted to immediately bring his hand down to grab her, but Haley didn\'t give him that chance.
When the boss was about to reach his hand down to grab her, Haley\'s hands were already moving up. Without any hesitation, she grabbed the boss\' arm, the one that was holding the knife.
The boss was surprised that she would do this, but he still tried to break free.
He had expected to easily break free of her grasp with the difference in strength, but he found that he wasn\'t able to move his arm at all. It was as if his arm was being gripped inside of a steel vice and the only way to pull free was to give up the arm.
Then before the boss could do anything with his second arm, Haley suddenly pulled on his arm.
The boss wasn\'t able to stop himself at all as his feet suddenly lost contact with the ground. He was thrown into the air by Haley and he flew over her shoulder.
When he realized what was happening, his view of the world was already upside down.
Then all he felt was pain from the top of his head as his consciousness faded away.
In his final moment, he still didn\'t understand what had just happened.
By the end of it, Haley kneeled down slightly with the boss\' arm in her hands.
Then when she looked up, she let go of his arms and moved away from him.
There was only silence that followed as everyone looked at the boss whose head was slightly buried in the ground from the impact.
At the same time, everyone looked at Haley with complicated looks that had traces of disbelief in them. Not a single person was able to understand how that much power had come out of this small frame…
I couldn\'t help thinking to myself, "If she could do something like this, how did she get kidnapped in the first place?"
After a long period of silence, Shaka was the first one to react as he went over to the boss\' body in the ground. He kneeled down beside the boss and put his hand to his neck. After that, he brought his hand up under his nose.
When he was done, Shaka turned around and said, "He\'s still alive, he\'s got a pulse and he\'s breathing."
Without waiting for a response, Shaka waved his hand at one of his men who came over right away. This person didn\'t wait for Shaka\'s orders as he kneeled down too to help the boss out of the ground and he started patching up his head.
I couldn\'t help revealing a complicated look before saying, "Is there a need for that?"
Shaka calmly said, "The master will want to talk to him."
I was surprised to hear this, but I just gave a compliant nod in response to this.
The reason why that noble had sent Shaka and his men to help me was because he had wanted something out of this. While I didn\'t know exactly what he wanted, I knew that it wouldn\'t be good for me to interfere with what Shaka was doing.
But I had noted that look in Shaka\'s eyes when we had removed the cloaks from Bats and Rock…He had recognized that they were demons and he had quite the strong reaction to this. It was most likely something related to them that they wanted from the boss of the Crow Gang.
Since the noble wanted this boss of the Crow Gang, I wouldn\'t say anything about this.
Though whether he would be able to get any information from him…that was hard to tell.
Haley had slammed him quite hard into the ground and it had been right on his head. It would be a miracle if he didn\'t suffer any brain damage from this.
I left the boss of the Crow Gang to Shaka and his men and I turned to look at Haley.
I could see that she was trembling even though she had just shoulder thrown the boss.
So I raised my hands out and asked, "Are you alright?"
Without hesitation, she jumped into my arms and hugged me.
