Chapter 7: Damsel In Distress
Earth, 01:35 am
In a deserted area, several people were running around and tossing things away as if finding someone.
" Look around carefully; that bitch must be hiding in some corner. " Said the leader of the group.
" Yeah, if we go back empty-handed, the boss will take his anger on us. " Said a man with a big scar on his face, a little trembling.
" There are only 19 alleys left to check; she must be in one of them; she can't get out of this area. " Said a man with a big mustache.
All of them separated and started searching different alleys.
In one of the dark alleys, a woman was hiding behind a trash can. She was sitting while hugging her legs and had buried her face downwards, trembling and praying inwardly to escape from this disaster.

Jayden was standing on the tree branch, looking at the pile of corpses. Dead bodies were lying one over the other; it was a scene that could be a nightmare for anyone. At that moment, a message popped in front of him.

A red colored bracelet appeared on his right hand. It was a beautiful small dragon wrapped around his wrist, along with a pitch-black battle suit that appeared under his clothes covering from neck to toes, tightly hugging his skin, only leaving his head and area from wrists out.
A wide smile appeared on Jayden's face, unable to hide his excitement. And seeing the kill count at 223, he muttered: " So, those 9 completed their job before committing suicide. "

Seeing the huge changes in his stats, he was ecstatic.
" Fuck, you made the 7th-level difficulty quest
look too easy. " Anna said, stupefied, cursing for a long time.
"Haha, I was lucky. " Jayden said chuckling.
Then he looked at the corpses, his mood dropped, and while making a RIP sign, he prayed: " May you all rest in peace and live happily in your next lives. "
It was the second time he killed someone, while the first was at the orphanage, though this time, it's on a completely different level. Whether there was a reason behind it all or not, he won't deny what he did. He's not a hypocrite.

He got teleported back to earth, but despite what he thought, he wasn't teleported to his 'luxurious home' but instead to an abandoned area.
There were many deserted alleys around him; he started walking to search for the main Street and find his current location.
" Is this orb playing with me? Why did it throw me here? " Jayden said, irritated.
After passing through an alley, he suddenly stopped and took a few steps back. There in a corner, behind a trash can, he saw a silhouette of a person.
Curious, he walked towards the person; there, he saw a woman trembling and sobbing silently. Hugging her legs to her chest with her face buried down.
She was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, though the white color was barely visible between dirt and some stains of blood.
" Excuse me? Are you alright? " Jayden asked softly.
Her whole body shivered profusely. Thinking she was caught, she looked up and started begging:
" Pl..please.. *sob* let me g..go. I. I will live hiding and never speak a.. about what happened. " she said between cries and sobs.
Jayden finally saw her face, it was dirty with marks of tears and blood, and there were bruises on her face and arms. Her blonde hair is disheveled. She looked pitiful and miserable.
Jayden looked into her eyes.
[ Memory Manipulator Activated ]
Soon her memory flashed in Jayden's mind.
******
Her name is Sasha Reed. She came back from England after completing her studies in finance a few months earlier. She's an orphan who lives with her uncle.
She's a strong woman who always stood up for herself and her beliefs. In her college, she's ranked as the no.1 beauty, and because of this, she had countless suitors pursuing her.
After coming home, her uncle found a marriage partner for her, Tom Steven, as a way to increase his business. Although she's against it, her uncle doesn't allow refuse.
Then they started spending some time together and introducing each other to their friend's circles.
On one such meeting, she met Lenny, Tom's biggest business partner and friend. He was in his mid-forties and married. Sasha saw naked lust in Lenny's eyes, making her feel disgusted. So, she maintained some distance from him and avoided meeting him.
Later they decided on a wedding date. Then Tom brought Sasha to choose a wedding dress for her. After reaching the shop, Sasha found out Lenny, too, was there 'coincidentally' for some business.
Avoiding talking and going near him, Sasha selected a dress and went to try it out, along with light bridal makeup.
When she came out, everyone who saw her was stunned and stood, their mouth agape and in awe of her beauty. Lenny was drooling.
She was wearing a white dress, even though it was modest and covered most of her skin, but it couldn't hide the sexy curves that could put most models to shame. Her face looked like the most beautiful porcelain doll; her blonde hair shined with a shade of red, mesmerizing everyone whenever she moved her head. Her red lips looked like the most delicious fruit in the world. She looked like the reincarnation of the Goddess of Beauty.
Lenny couldn't control his lust after seeing her and started talking to Tom when she was going back to change into her casual clothes.
Then in Tom's car, Sasha was going back home when she noticed that Tom wasn't taking the right route. She asked, but he just told her it was a surprise.
After reaching a deserted area, Tom stopped his car in front of another car, which was already there. Tom got out of the car, and Lenny came out of the other car. Bad feelings started to grow in her heart.
After talking for a little while, Tom took the other car, and Lenny started to walk in Sasha's direction. She tried to get out of the car, but Lenny forcefully shoved her inside, slapping her and tying her hands.
Then Lenny started driving the car, after a few moments Sasha saw the opportunity and jumped from the running car, without caring about her injuries, she ran into the streets, it was dark so Lenny wasn't able to trace her.
He then called his men to search for her. And Sasha has been running and hiding for hours to escape from this hell.

Jayden sighed with a sad look in his eyes, seeing a strong and cheerful woman in such a miserable state, begging for her pride and life.
He used his ' Charm ' skill to make her fall asleep. But right at that moment, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
" Punks, I found the bitch, come here." the mustache guy shouted after seeing Sasha.
All 15 men came running to the street end. All of them had ferocious expressions. Seeing an unknown man standing near fainted Sasha, the leader shouted: " Ha, kill that bastard and bring the woman. Some people do have dog luck. Beat his handsome as*."
" " Hahahahaha " "
" " Hahahahaha " "
They all started to laugh and looked at Jayden, thinking of ways to torture him.
Jayden slowly stood up; without looking at them, he closed his eyes and tilted his head towards the sky. Anna just watched all this silently. then he mumbled:
" This is going to be a long night."
