As the man's voice echoed through the silent night, Jiang Chen clicked his tongue and muttered, "What? The show ended already? That was fast."
Although Jiang Chen still wanted to watch the show, he put away his playful expression and focused on Yao Ran when he saw a group of men walking out from the dark alley.
Yao Ran sized them up and quickly noticed that only the bald man leading the group was an ability user. As for the others, they were all ordinary survivors.
Seeing that they dared to kidnap ability users despite their weak strength, Yao Ran was certain that their victims must have fallen into a trap and been drugged. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this group to capture so many ability users—some of whom even possessed level five abilities.
While Yao Ran was analyzing them, the bald man was also observing her. Seeing how calm she remained, he frowned and thought, 'Something feels not right. This young lady is too calm.'
After they sized each other up for a while, Yao Ran's expression suddenly changed, and she took a few steps back.
Noticing the fear on her face, the bald man raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Oh, so she was just too shocked to react at first. Well, it's understandable. Anyone would be scared out of their wits upon seeing me.'
Unaware of the bald man's narcissistic thoughts, Yao Ran activated her acting skills and asked in a trembling voice, "W–who are you?!"
The man in the black shirt saw how frightened she appeared yet still tried to act brave and felt amused. He sneered and said, "Big Brother, look at how scared she is. She must never see someone as strong as you."
The bald man nodded and said with a hint of pride in his voice, "Mhm. If she were strong, she wouldn't be shaking like a leaf in front of me."
Hearing this, the man in the black shirt rubbed his hands together eagerly.
As he licked his lips, he looked at Yao Ran lustfully and asked, "Big Brother, before we send her away, can I have a taste first? You see, my wife has been dead for a long time, and I haven't touched a woman since."
Before his words fully landed, something sliced through the air past his left ear.
Swish!
A second later, the man in the black shirt felt warm liquid trickling down his neck. Raising his hand to touch it, his eyes widened in shock when he saw blood on his fingers. Then, his gaze fell to the ground—where his severed left ear lay.
A second later, a sharp, searing pain hit him, and he clutched the side of his head, screaming in pain, "Ah! My ear!"
The bald man and the others were startled by his shriek. Instantly, everyone turned to look at him. When they saw his ear lying on the ground, they were momentarily stunned.
Before they could react, another piercing scream rang out.
"Ahh!"
Turning their heads, they saw Yao Ran collapse to the ground weakly, staring at the severed ear in horror. Two seconds later, she fainted, slumping limply onto the filthy ground.
Witnessing everything, the bald man was speechless.
"..." Such a coward. Has she never seen blood before?
