Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 270
Several days ago, when Huang Quan was once again chased away from here, he swore he would return with many people to take what he wanted by force. He repeated these words multiple times, making Ran Chenxin increasingly anxious. Since then, she had been contemplating whether they should leave this place and find a quieter, safer location. However, Chenxue’s physical condition was far too poor, and she had gradually grown accustomed to the people here—simple, kind-hearted, and poor, but without malice. They would often help her warmly. She couldn’t be certain that people in another place would be as friendly, nor could she predict what dangers might await them.
It was because of the peace and the absence of the filth and corruption of the bustling city that she chose to settle here. But beauty itself was not a sin, though it often became the source of countless calamities. No matter how hard she tried to hide herself, she could not conceal the radiance that made her beautiful no matter where she went… and the consequences that came with it.
The sound of voices outside the door immediately made Ran Chenxin realize what was happening. She locked the door tightly and gently embraced Chenxue, assuring her that there was nothing to fear.
The people outside had guns. The aunties from the neighborhood could no longer protect them. Their only hope now was that the wooden door and the security door would keep the intruders out. All they could do was pray that the doors would hold.
“Xue’er, don’t be afraid. They won’t get in. Once they leave, I’ll buy lots of your favorite things for us to eat.” Ran Chenxin softly hugged her fragile sister like a piece of delicate glass, whispering to her.
“Mm, with sister here, I’m not afraid.” Chenxue responded weakly, her frail body leaning against her, her head resting on Chenxin’s soft chest, listening to her sister’s rapidly beating heart. Thinking of all the hardships they had endured together, Chenxue closed her eyes, determined to keep her tears from falling. Despite not having done anything wrong, despite her sister’s boundless kindness, why was the heavens so unfair to them, forcing them into endless suffering while the wicked lived freely and unpunished? Wasn’t it said that good would be rewarded and evil punished?
“Chenxin little sister, your brother Huang is back again.”
That detestable voice echoed from outside the door. Footsteps approached, the sound of several people halting right in front of their small home.
“Get lost! Never appear in front of me again!” Ran Chenxin furrowed her brows tightly, shouting towards the door with all the sternness she could muster.
“Oh! Chenxin little sister is still so fierce… Tsk tsk, your brother Huang just loves that fiery temper of yours.” This time, Huang Quan was filled with confidence and arrogance, speaking in a sickeningly saccharine tone. “Chenxin little sister, why not come with your brother Huang? Look at this place you live in. Is this a place fit for people? If you come with me, you’ll live in a mansion, ride in luxury cars, and eat whatever your heart desires. I can even pay for your sickly sister’s medical expenses…”
“Get lost!” Even the gentlest of people have their limits. After enduring endless harassment, threats, and coercion, the soft-hearted Ran Chenxin finally felt the urge to end him. As always, she shouted at him, desperately hoping he would leave and never return.
“Why waste words with a woman? We’re here to help you snatch her away.”
Bang!!
A loud crash echoed through the air, sending a jolt of terror through both Chenxin and Chenxue. Outside, the already fragile wooden door was kicked, leaving a large hole. Light filtered through the gap, slightly brightening the dim little house.
“Tch, this door’s as useless as a pile of rotten tofu. And to think I used so much strength.” The man who kicked it scoffed, then landed another heavy kick, creating another gaping hole in the door.
That old wooden door, long eroded by years of wear, was easily reduced to a heap of splintered wood. The perpetrators laughed wildly, indulging in the satisfaction of destruction. Beyond the ruined door was the security gate, through which they could see the two girls inside… And then, the laughter abruptly ceased.
Staring through the gate, their eyes locked on the faces of the two girls within. They stood frozen, their mouths agape in stunned disbelief.
At that moment, the same thought filled their minds—there was actually a girl this beautiful in the world.
They had all seen beauties before. In a society driven by desire, even the most gorgeous women carried a taint of worldly corruption. But this girl was different. She possessed an otherworldly purity, like a flawless crystal untouched by the filth of the world. Especially those frightened eyes, like the clearest gems, captivated them completely, ensnaring them in her gaze.
When Huang Quan summoned them to abduct the girl, they followed without hesitation. It wasn’t their first time doing such a thing. But none of them had anticipated that in this dilapidated place, they would encounter such a breathtaking beauty.
“Seventh Brother, what do you think? I wasn’t lying, right?” Huang Quan, the only one relatively composed, was both smug and anxious. He had seen this reaction before—it was the same expression he wore when he first laid eyes on Ran Chenxin. But now, worry gnawed at him. He knew all too well what kind of people these were. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered repeated beatings and driven to the point of calling them for help. But seeing Chenxin, they might be tempted to claim her for themselves… Her allure was simply irresistible.
“Damn, she’s too beautiful!” The man in sunglasses wiped his mouth, his eyes glued to Ran Chenxin.
“Heh, Huang Shao, I thought you were exaggerating about finding a beauty in a dump like this, but… No wonder you can’t let go.” The man in a floral shirt stared at her, his eyes filled with greed.
Huang Quan cautiously nudged the sunglasses-wearing man. “Seventh Brother, we had an agreement. She’s mine…”
“Hm!” The man grinned darkly, his voice dripping with malice. “Heh… What are you saying? Do I look like the kind of guy who betrays a friend over a woman? That girl’s pretty much a goddess, but I won’t touch her. However… that little one… Tsk tsk, even though she looks frail, I bet she’ll be even more… enjoyable.”
Huang Quan immediately smiled. “Then Seventh Brother, take her away as you please.”
Bang!
The final barrier, the security door that was clearly newly installed, was violently kicked, producing a metallic trembling sound. The man in sunglasses wore a lecherous smile and said, “Two little beauties, be good and open the door. If I have to break it down when I get impatient, I won’t be so gentle.”
Bang!
Another heavy kick landed on the door, slightly deforming the low-quality, cheap security door. Ran Chenxin shielded Chenxue in her arms, covering half of her body with a blanket. She knew that facing these people who had no concept of conscience, words were useless. All she could do was pray that they would leave soon—pray that they would survive this ordeal unscathed.
Bang!
Bang!
The trembling of the security door echoed in their hearts. They had always been so helpless… and just like now, there was no one who would appear to help them. Besides praying and fearing, what could a weak girl and a terminally ill younger sister who couldn’t even walk do? What could they possibly struggle against?
They couldn’t even imagine what the consequences would be if the intruders broke in… They didn’t dare to think about it, yet they couldn’t stop fearing it. Helplessness, only helplessness.
“Open the door!” The impatient voice of the man in sunglasses grew cold. He suddenly kicked the security door again, causing it to shake violently. Then, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handgun, aiming it at the door hinge.
When the gun appeared, Ran Chenxin’s face turned deathly pale as she hugged Chenxue tightly in her arms.
Huang Quan quickly grabbed the man in sunglasses’ hand and said, “Seventh Brother, wait… don’t scare her. We’ve suddenly shown up like this. She’s obviously terrified, how could she dare open the door… Let me talk to her first. If she obediently opens the door, wouldn’t that be much more convenient and pleasant than taking her by force?”
The man in sunglasses narrowed his eyes and said, “Hmm, you’re right. It would be a shame to scare such a delicate beauty… Fine, give her ten minutes. If she still doesn’t open the door, then I’ll force my way in… Heh, tell her who I am. I don’t believe she won’t open the door after that.”
“Of course, with Seventh Brother’s status, what kind of woman wouldn’t throw herself at you?” Huang Quan immediately flattered him. The man in sunglasses had deep and powerful connections, and even Huang Quan had to lower himself by three notches in front of him.
Huang Quan was left alone in front of the door while the other four returned to the car. Inside the closed car, the man in sunglasses glanced at Huang Quan and said indifferently, “What do we do?”
“Do you even need to ask? A beauty like that, how can we leave her to that useless kid? Seventh Brother, this is a huge score this time.” The man in the floral shirt grinned maliciously.
“Hmph, that kid wouldn’t dare make a sound.”
While Huang Quan stood outside threatening and coaxing Ran Chenxin to open the door, he was completely unaware of the conversation happening inside the car. Ran Chenxin knew what fate awaited them if she opened the door. No matter what Huang Quan said, she remained motionless, holding Chenxue tightly.
Staring at the ceiling covered in scars, Ran Chenxin’s heart, which bore even deeper scars, was enveloped in a layer of dead gray… Why was her fate always so cruel and hopeless? If only she and her sister could live a peaceful life, she wouldn’t mind if her beauty faded or if they had to endure a lifetime of poverty. She would be willing.
She thought of Xie Tian, the one who helped her, protected her, cared for her, encouraged her, and gave her hope… The one who filled her thoughts and whose arrival she desperately longed for, just like that day when he drove them all away. Her longing grew stronger, gradually filling her entire consciousness, and she softly murmured his name… But she also knew that this was merely a beautiful yet impossible fantasy.
“Time’s up.” The four men, including the man in sunglasses, emerged from the car and approached with expressionless faces. Two of them, wearing sinister smiles, stepped forward, one holding an electric drill and the other holding an electric saw. Tools for breaking in—how could they not come prepared?
Zzzz~~~~
The despairing sound of machinery spinning filled the air, cutting into the not-so-sturdy metal, sending sparks flying… It also cut into Ran Chenxin’s heart. The sparks danced and scattered—sparks of despair.
It didn’t take long. When the security door fell before their ugly, grinning faces, the last string of hope in Ran Chenxin’s heart was mercilessly severed. She held Chenxue tighter, clinging to her… In front of these evil men, they had no strength to resist.
“Heh, two little beauties, how about letting us take you to the big city for some fun?” The man in sunglasses stepped into the cramped little house, his tone dripping with vulgarity.
Bang!!
Just as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering collision and the rapid sound of machinery echoed from outside. The five of them froze and simultaneously looked outside—only to be shocked to see…
A helicopter had descended from the sky, crashing directly onto their car. The moment of impact shattered all the car windows, crushing the vehicle into a completely deformed mess.
