Taya held her chest, struggling to breathe as she looked up a Griffon. “You…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a man holding a knife rushed at Griffon from behind.
“Be careful!” With lightning-fast reflexes, Griffon swung the iron rod in his hand and struck the man behind him hard!
The man, who was hit in the vital point of the abdomen, couldn’t even hold onto his knife and fell to the ground in agony.
The others rushed at Griffon, thinking they could overpower him, but they were no match for his quick and fluid movements!
He protected Taya with one hand while unleashing the full force of his strength with the iron rod to take on as many attackers as came his way.
His movements were so fluid that he didn’t even blink, and the aura of his power made the people around him tremble in fear…
Meanwhile, Elder, who was being protected from a distance, calmly smoked his cigar as he watched Griffon’ innate strength.
In the past, Elder would always regard Griffon highly, and never dared to easily offend him.
But Griffon abandoned his daughter for a cheap woman who looked like Tara, and even retaliated by acquiring Thorin pack!
How could he still hold onto this backstabber, going from a full-fledged chairman to an executive director? Elder crushed the cigar he had just smoked underfoot, and looked up at Griffon with cold hostility…
Since he couldn’t find Greyson, he would first take care of Griffon.
After all, these people were all his enemies! He squinted his dangerous eyes and raised his chin towards the scarred man. “Bring all the people outside in!”
Even though Griffon was a lone wolf who was good at fighting, he couldn’t possibly beat the group of professional bodyguards that Elder had hired!
Taya saw a new batch of bodyguards rushing into the cabin, and her worries and fears instantly surged.
The man who was fighting seemed to sense her unease, and subconsciously held her hand with a bit of force. Don’t be afraid, Taya…
Taya also tightened her grip on his hand and tried to keep herself calm, not wanting to affect him.
He had already cleared a path and could have taken Taya to escape, but they were surrounded by a constant influx of bodyguards.
Even though Griffon was skilled in fighting, he couldn’t withstand the overwhelming number of people. The longer the fight dragged on, the faster he became exhausted…
On top of that, his headaches had started to become uncontrollable, tearing through him with excruciating pain that made it difficult for him to focus.
To make matters worse, the bodyguards suddenly shifted their focus onto Taya, constantly surrounding her and trying to harm her.
Seeing this, Griffon had no time to worry about himself, he only protected Taya, afraid that these people would hurt her in the slightest…
He had found this place based on his intuition, but in his haste, he forgot to notify Zack and the others, so there was no one coming
to rescue them.
Griffon’ face, once unwavering, gradually became cold as he tried to quickly take care of the attackers, but more and more people kept coming in.
As he turned to swiftly kick away the bodyguard attacking Taya, a metal rod hit him in the back…
Taya, who was tightly held in his arms, trembled with worry as she saw him being hit with a stick. She held onto his hand tightly, her eyes full of concern.
“You have to go!” She would rather be killed by Elder than let him get hurt for her sake!
But how could Griffon, who loved her more than life, abandon her and leave alone? He gave her a rea*suring look, then quickly turned around, his eyes revealing a murderous intent as he swung the stick towards the attacker’s head!
Unfortunately, there were just too many people. As soon as he took care of one, another one picked up a metal bar and hit him hard on the back of the head!
At that moment, the world suddenly went quiet, and he could barely make out the scenery or colors before him. He even felt as if… he couldn’t see anything at all
In a moment of distraction, Griffon was hit with consecutive strikes to his back. Taya was frightened and immediately let go of his hand, wanting to block the hits for him.
However, Griffon regained his senses and grabbed her wrist, circling her against the wooden door while using his body as a shield against the attacks.
While he held her close, someone suddenly stabbed him in the back with a sharp knife…
Griffon groaned, and then a hand pressed against Taya’s head, preventing her from looking up to see his condition.
“Just wait a little longer, someone will come to save you soon…”
Zack was highly efficient and he would definitely come quickly. As long as he protected Taya, she could safely leave this place.
He said “save you,” he didn’t say “save us,” which made Taya’s face turn pale and her whole body tremble.
“Griffon, let me go…”
She struggled to touch his back, but he held her tightly in his arms, his thick eyelashes hanging low with a deep affection for “I’m fine. Don’t worry…”
As soon as he finished speaking, another iron rod struck hard on his head. The sharp metal piercing through his forehead.
Blood quickly stained his hair, dripping down his forehead and rolling down his handsome cheeks.
The hot and bright blood dripping onto Taya’s head and face scared her to the point of losing her strength in her legs.
She used her fingers, which were imprisoned above her chest, to touch the blood that had soaked her face.
The warm blood seemed to stimulate her visual nerves, making
her crazy, struggling to break free, and looking up at the man in front of her.
He was covered in blood, and his deep and clear eyes were fixed on her in his arms. “Don’t look, Taya, it will scare you,” he said.
But his back was stabbed again.
His face suddenly turned pale, as if his vital points had been hit, causing the hands that held her to tremble uncontrollably…
Taya saw how Griffon risked his life to protect her and her heart skipped a beat. She started to feel teary, and tears streamed down her face…
“You can escape by yourself. Please, I beg you. Go, don’t worry about me…” she pleaded. But Griffon shook his head and held her tightly in his arms, not letting anyone harm her.
Just when Griffon was willing to sacrifice himself, the door of the wooden house suddenly burst open with a kick… With a black gun in his hand, Amon stepped in wearing his military boots with a steady stride.
He didn’t hesitate to shoot at whoever was in front of him, not even blinking his eyes. It seemed like he had done this kind of thing many times before.
Elder, who had been watching the situation downstairs from the second floor of the wooden house, frowned when he saw someone with a gun come in to save the day.
He was afraid that the person with the gun would catch the mastermind behind this, which was himself. Quickly retreating a
few steps, he hid in an unnoticed corner.
Griffon, who couldn’t prioritize capturing Elder first, heard the sound of the reinforcements and slowly turned his head to look…
Through his blurry vision, he saw Amon rushing toward them, and immediately forced himself up, grasping the iron rod once again.
Amon arrived at their location quickly, and after locking eyes with Griffon for a second, he said coldly, “Too many people, not enough bullets. I can only take one of you with me…”
As soon as Taya saw Amon appear, she felt like she had found new hope. But now, upon hearing that he could only take one person, her heart sank.
After a moment of sadness, she made a quick decision. “Take him with you!” However, Griffon made an even quicker decision, pushing her
towards Amon.
He then used all his strength to hold back the group of people, clearing an escape route for Amon.
Amon, who had run out of bullets, quickly threw away his gun and grabbed Taya’s hand, pulling her out of the hut. But Taya couldn’t leave Griffon behind, even if it meant dying together…
She desperately tried to break free from Amon’s grip to go back for Griffon, but he lifted her over his shoulder and charged out of the hut.
In that split second, as they ran out, Taya saw someone wielding an iron rod and viciously striking Griffon’ head. Before he fell, his bright eyes slowly met Taya’s gaze, as if confirming that she was safe…
