Train station.
A group of about twenty people from the film crew got off the train. There weren’t many people at the station, or rather, there were just them. At this juncture, those who could leave had already left.
The remaining were mostly those who couldn’t leave.
Firstly, they had faith because the War God was here.
Secondly, they couldn’t bear to abandon their homes and businesses here.
Among them, a girl stood tall. She was wearing a fluffy sweater, paired with black pencil pants, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure. Her hair was curly and styled, but her almond-shaped eyes were the most striking, giving off an air of refinement mixed with a free-spirited vibe. Moreover, she exuded a commanding presence.
After getting off the vehicle, everyone in the crew looked at this woman. She was the director of the crew, Alastair Angelo, who had once dealt with Robin. She had promised Robin to protect Nina.
“Miss, something’s not right,” an elderly man approached Alastair Angelo from behind, his face solemn.
“Mr. Willis, what’s wrong?” Upon hearing his words, Alastair Angelo also became grave.
Although she hadn’t noticed anything unusual, she trusted this elder. After all, he was sent by their family to protect her, a high-ranked practitioner.
“There’s nobody at this train station anymore, but there are still a few people around, standing in different positions. They’re not looking our way, it’s the formation of assassins,” explained Mr. Willis, pretending not to notice those people.
He had never been an assassin, but his extensive life experience alerted him to the danger.
At this point, those people suddenly put down what they were carrying and started approaching. Among them, a man in a duckbill cap produced a sharp object in his hand, “They’ve discovered us, we have to act quickly.”
They had initially planned to ambush, but having been discovered, they decided to reveal themselves, neglecting any other considerations.
“Miss, you all step back,” Mr. Willis’s face changed as he urged the others to retreat.
Immediately, the members of the crew hurriedly backed away, taking cover behind Mr. Willis.
“Old man, step aside. We only want that girl. As long as you hand her over to us, we can spare you. We are from the Temple, we keep our word,” said the man in the duckbill cap.
“The Temple,” Mr. Willis’s face changed again, “It’s the Temple, the largest foreign assassin organization.”
If it was a smaller organization, they could ignore it. But the Temple was not something ordinary people could afford to provoke.
“Nina, come with us, or they will all die,” the man in the duckbill cap looked at Nina again.
At this point, Nina was also among them. She had grown taller since the last time they saw her, almost reaching 1. 7 meters. Still donning a simple outfit of a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, her fair thighs exposed, she hid among the crowd.
“Are you here to capture me?” Nina was taken aback and asked.
“Yes,” the man in the duckbill cap replied, “Hurry up and come out.”
“Why are you capturing me?” Nina suddenly asked again.
“It’s a mission, come out quickly,” the man in the duckbill cap hurriedly urged.
“A mission? Is there a bounty? Tell me, let’s see how much I’m worth,” Nina asked again.
The man in the duckbill cap was left speechless.
This girl, why does she talk so much?
“You’re not saying? Alright then, I’ll ask another question. What is the Temple?” Nina asked again.
At this point, the man in the duckbill cap was visibly frustrated.
They could sense that the old man was highly skilled, and this was St. Sunday, they didn’t want to cause too much commotion. So, they wanted to use the name of the Temple to threaten them into handing over Nina.
But this woman, why does she have so many questions?
Immediately, he disregarded Nina and focused his gaze on the old man: “Old man, the person you’re protecting is not this woman, is it? Instead, it’s the woman behind you. So, if you don’t want the woman behind you to die, don’t interfere with us.”
“This…”
Mr. Willis’s face was extremely grim. These people had figured it out. He was specifically there to protect Alastair Angelo, not Nina. Therefore, Alastair Angelo could not be harmed, but facing so many people, he couldn’t protect everyone at once.
He had to choose between protecting Alastair Angelo or Nina.
Without a doubt, he was a member of the Angelo family; he had to protect Alastair Angelo.
“Seems like you understand. Get her,” ordered the man in the duckbill cap.
His henchmen immediately rushed forward, one after another. They were all high-ranking practitioners, extremely quick and wielding a dagger, rushing towards Nina.
Mr. Willis originally wanted to move, but remembering the man’s words, he didn’t. His duty was to protect Alastair Angelo.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Alastair Angelo suddenly ran out and embraced Nina, saying to Mr. Willis: “Mr. Willis, now you can protect both of us.”
“Yes.”
The old man was taken aback, but still obeyed.
The miss was indeed headstrong.
For a friend, she’d risk her own life. And now, he might not be able to protect her fully.
“Seeking death,” the man in the duckbill cap also joined the fight, brandishing a spike and attacking the old man. His movements were swift, but the old man, as a guard, was no pushover. With a tai chi move, he instantly engaged the man in the duckbill cap.
If it was just one assassin in a duckbill cap, he could handle it. Their strengths were comparable.
However, there were more than ten assassins here. Although the man in the duckbill cap was the strongest, the rest of the assassins were also strong when they joined forces. They pushed him back with a few combined attacks, and he was in imminent danger.
“Stop saving me, I can’t get you involved,” Nina, seeing they were losing, tried to break away from Alastair Angelo.
She couldn’t get Alastair involved.
If they protected her, both of them would die. It would be better for only her to die.
“No, since I brought you out, I will protect you. I promised your brother-in-law,” Alastair Angelo firmly gripped Nina’s hand.
She wouldn’t let go.
She had promised Robin.
“Sigh.”
Mr. Willis, fighting in front, heard this and sighed. He had been protecting Alastair Angelo since she was a child and knew her stubborn nature, so he stopped trying to dissuade her. He had lived a long life; it was almost worth it.
But he was unwilling to accept that he couldn’t protect the young lady.
“Old man, die.”
Just then, the man in the duckbill cap seized an opportunity. A spike aimed at Mr. Willis’s heart, and Mr. Willis’s face changed. He couldn’t dodge this attack; he was going to die.
He was unwilling.
What would happen to the young lady after his death?
However, at this moment, Nina shouted loudly: “Robin, I’m coming, where are you?”
With a clang, a stone hit the spike held by the man in the duckbill cap, and it was flung away.
Then a voice was heard.
“Here.”
