The others looked over and were disappointed it was a small girl. "Nah, I like mine voluptuous. I don’t like kids. It’s yours," one said, another one shrugged and continued their rounds.
As such, only one of the guards was left, who was glad he didn’t have to share.
Bruce moved to block the way but he was easily pushed away. His heart dropped, looking at the other men.
"Stop!" He yelled, but his body refused to move and he could only watch as the little girl was pulled away.
"NOOO!"
Bruno turned extending his hands to grip the girl’s arms. "Please, she’s so young!"
He was pushed and kicked down instead. He coughed up blood, already weak from all the tireless work.
"Don’t bother me right now," the guard said, grinning and showing off his yellow teeth.
Lina’s eyes widened as the man loomed over her. She whipped her head to look at both Bruce and Rebi. Bruce was down, while Rebi was shaking as his back was turned to her while he continued with his work.
Lina’s heart fell. Rebi was intending to ignore her now that she was found.
Bruce couldn’t blame him. He was also reluctant to do something to risk his life. If he died, what would happen to his own daughter?
However, when he had to watch the girl being groped right in front of him—his eyes turned red.
Bruce could see his daughter in the girl, and like hell he’d allow anything to happen to her!
He wanted to yell out for them to stop, but his body didn’t listen.
He gritted his teeth, trying to move, but the orders were clear:
’Don’t bother me right now.’
Bruce cursed himself for his weakness, but at the same time, he also prayed for the little girl to be alright.
"No! Please! No! Not there!" The little girl yelled, trying to push his hands away, making the man laugh in amusement.
"Not here, not here?" he said with a grin. "Oh? You’re shy? Aw how cute."
"Okay, I’ll take you elsewhere," he said, pulling the girl by the hair. He grinned as he heard her cry. He could’ve easily told her to shut up and she would, but he didn’t, because where was the fun in that?
"Noooo! Wuuuu—"
"Noo! Pleasee!"
Finally, Rebi couldn’t handle it anymore and ran after them, holding his arm.
The moment he realized his actions, he shook in fear. But he gathered enough courage to speak. "Please… don’t. You’ll… break her."
The man looked at him with dark eyes, and punched him without warning. "A slave dare to touch me, eh?" he yelled, punching him again so he lost his footing.
The man kicked him, repeatedly, and he was unable to fight back.
"UNCLE REBI!" Lina yelled, sobbing, and could only cry louder when she was pulled away to someplace else. "NOO! PLEASEEE! HELP ME! UNCLE BRUCE! UNCLE BRUCEEE!
Wuuuu—"
He dragged her further into the forest and Bruce felt that he could move already, meaning the order had expired. The other guards were busy and he took advantage and followed them deeper into the forest, dragging his body.
When he arrived, the man was already hovering over the girl and taking off her clothes, and his movements hastened further—not that it made much of a difference because he was already so weak.
