“M Country nationals?” the man with triangular eyes sneered as his gaze glided over Youna and the others, a look of amazement and greed irresistibly surfacing in his eyes.
Xue An leaned back in his beach chair, tending to his nails with a refined nail clipper, utterly disregarding the man.
But the man with triangular eyes thought Xue An was cowed, thus his arrogance grew even more rampant, pointing at the boxes of avocados on the ground.
“Who sold you these things?”
An Yan felt some indignation towards the arrogance of the group, and coldly said, “Is it any of your business whom we buy our stuff from?”
“Of course, it is! Because this beach is my territory!”
As he spoke, the man with triangular eyes cocked his head.
Someone was dragging a little boy forward.
This little boy was the one who had just sold the avocados, but now his face and body were covered in wounds, and he had passed out, dragged here by force.
Seeing this scene, An Yan’s face grew cold, and her eyes icier still.
She was a very gentle girl, but that didn’t mean she would tolerate such evil!
“Hehe, this guy sneaked onto my turf to sell stuff, that’s the punishment he deserves, and as for you…”
The man pulled out a crisp hundred US Dollar bill, his face revealing a greedy look, “Since you could bring out so much money to buy such rotten fruit, naturally, you should also suffer some punishment!”
Xue An didn’t even lift his head, just asked indifferently, “Punishment? What kind of punishment?”
The man with triangular eyes extended a greedy finger, “Ten thousand US Dollars, and I’ll let you go! Of course, if you can’t produce that much cash now…”
The man with triangular eyes pointed at Youna, “Hand over this chick to me, I’ll return her to you tomorrow! I’ll ask for half the penalty from you!”
Hearing these words, An Yan and the others’ expressions turned icy.
David’s face turned bitter, as his greatest fear had still come to pass.
Even though he was scared, for the sake of the artistic talent he held in esteem, he mustered the courage to step forward.
“Brother, I think we need to talk about this, ten thousand US Dollars is really too much, and this lady is already preparing to study art in M Country, you should…”
“Get lost!” The man with triangular eyes, seeing David come to bother him again, was infuriated and grabbed the butt of his gun to smash down.
This was only because David was from M Country; otherwise, he might have been shot on the spot.
David hadn’t even reacted when a silver flash streaked by, piercing through the man with triangular eyes’ palm.
“Aaaaah!”
The man with triangular eyes screamed loudly, clutching his penetrated hand, his face drenched in sweat from pain.
Xue An, ever so nonchalant, said to Youna behind him, “Take Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, and Isabella to play somewhere far.”
Youna shivered, understanding what Xue An meant, and quickly led the girls away to one side.
“Kill this man and take all the women!” At that moment, the man with triangular eyes bellowed.
His henchmen raised their guns to shoot.
The sound of gunfire made David fall to the ground, clutching his head and lamenting inwardly.
It’s over!
This M Country man is definitely going to die! God bless, I hope that girl is okay!
But the gunfire ceased after only a few shots, then silence fell.
David couldn’t help but feel puzzled; what happened?
Don’t these thugs always fire until their guns are empty before they stop?
Why did it stop so quickly this time?
He cautiously raised his head to look.
Then, he saw the deserted beach and Xue An and An Yan sitting in the beach chairs, unharmed.
“What… what’s going on?”
Just a moment ago, there was a mob of thugs shooting and killing people here.
How could they disappear all of a sudden?
David’s head was filled with question marks.
Xue An stood up and walked over to the little boy who was still unconscious on the ground.
He first knelt down to check on the boy, then sighed softly. With a stretch of his hand, a glow that was hard to perceive seeped into the boy’s forehead.
A moment later, the little boy opened his eyes.
At first, he was completely bewildered, then his body trembled, and he quickly covered his head.
“Mr. Hashi, please don’t hit me anymore, I know I was wrong! But I just wanted to sell some fruit to afford a pair of shoes!”
His cry was full of fear.
Xue An frowned slightly, chuckled softly, and said, “Alright, your Mr. Hashi will not hit you anymore!”
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the little boy slowly released his hands from his head and stared blankly at Xue An.
At this time, An Yan also walked over, looking at the little boy with some sympathy.
The boy then remembered that this was the kind lady who had just bought fruit with a hundred US dollars.
He suddenly cried out in concern, “Sir, and madam, you must leave here quickly. Hashi will certainly bring people to trouble you!”
Xue An smiled faintly and shook his head, “I just said, the Mr. Hashi you speak of will never come to hit you again!”
“Why?” The little boy looked completely bewildered and confused, not understanding what Xue An meant.
“Because he has gone to a very far place, and he probably will never come back again!”
Hearing this, David was profoundly shaken, looking incredulously at Xue An.
If what Xue An said was true, had the group from just now really died?
But how could that be possible?
In just a few seconds, a group of living people had vanished without a trace, alive or dead?
However, the little boy believed Xue An’s words, and a look of joy emerged on his face.
“That’s great, Hashi was such a terrible person! He not only monopolized the fruit market of the surrounding farms, but he also took over this beach! Anyone who came here to sell fruit had to pay ten US dollars! That’s just like robbery!”
At that moment, An Yan handed the little boy a bottle of cola.
The boy hesitated before accepting it, “Madam, this…”
“Drink it! You look thirsty,” An Yan said with a smile.
After hearing this, the boy couldn’t wait to twist off the cap and took several gulps, but he didn’t finish it and carefully saved more than half the bottle.
“Madam, can I take this home?”
“Why do you want to take it home?” An Yan asked, somewhat surprised.
“Because my sisters have never had cola before!” the boy said.
An Yan fell silent for a moment, then nodded, “Of course, you can!”
“Thank you, madam!” The little boy was overjoyed.
Xue An shook his head slightly, then said abruptly, “Let’s go home with you in a while and take a look!”
“Really, sir?” The boy asked excitedly.
Xue An nodded.
“Mhm, thank you, sir!” The boy thought Xue An was planning to visit his home and was thrilled.
At that moment, David hesitantly walked over and, making sure no one was around, said in a low voice, “Sir, I advise you to leave this country as soon as possible!”
