Chapter 157: Capture Him!!
Chapter 157: Capture Him!!
"Fuck"
""Now, what should I do?" Chen Tian pondered as he gazed at the group of men surrounding him.
The group of men were dressed in black suits and sunglasses, their stern expressions reflecting their seriousness.
They surrounded Chen Tian and the girl, creating an intimidating presence.
Chen Tian was sure that if he wasn't holding the girl, the group of men would have already jumped him.
He could feel the tension in the air and his heart pounding in his chest.
Panic washed over him as he desperately searched for a way out of this dangerous situation.
Should he release the girl and try to negotiate?
Or should he make a run for it, risking everything?
Chen Tian knew that whatever decision he made would determine the outcome, and he had to think quickly.
He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to come up with a plan.
"What on earth, how did I get into this mess? I just wanted to lend a hand!" Chen Tian exclaimed in his thoughts.
He only wanted to help the old man with good will in his heart, but now he found himself in this predicament.
No he understood why the readers in the novel he read hated when the MC did good deeds.
The protagonist's virtuous actions seemed to be met with disdain, as if the readers were hoping for the character to fail or make mistakes.
But he knew there was no time for regret or self-pity. He had to focus on the present moment and find a way out.
With determination in his eyes, he opened his mouth to speak.
"It's a big misunderstanding, I swear. I never intended to hurt anyone," Chen Tian said, hoping that his words would ease the tension.
"How dare you enter this place!!"
A man, his voice carrying a deep and furious tone, yelled, his face twisted in anger.
A muscular man with a menacing voice stood before them, his fists tightly clenched. His glance at Chen Tian was cold with some killing intent in them.
He appeared to be the leader of this group of bodyguards, and from Chen Tian's perspective, it was clear that the man possessed exceptional strength, reaching the 7th Stage of the Body Refinement Realm.
As for the other men they were ordinary mortals, but Chen Tian knew that they were highly trained.
Chen Tian could feel the hostility radiating from him, but he refused to back down.
Instead, he took a deep breath and spoke with unwavering confidence, "I assure you, I have no intention of causing harm. Please, just let me explain myself."
Chen Tian hoped his calm demeanor would help defuse the escalating situation and allow him to plead his case.
The man's eyes narrowed as he stared at Chen Tian.
"If you mean no harm, then explain why you are keeping our young Miss hostage!!"
The man didn't believe Chen Tian's words and continued to accuse him of wrongdoing. His voice grew louder and more aggressive as he demanded answers.
"Fuck!" Chen Tian looked at the girl in his arms and cursed inwardly.
Due to the unexpected arrival of the group of bodyguards, Chen Tian wasn't conscious of the fact that his posture unintentionally made it seem like he was holding the girl hostage.
His hands were right on her mouth, preventing her from speaking.
From the point of view of that group of bodyguards, Chen Tian was holding the girl hostage.
"Oh shit!" Chen Tian realized the misunderstanding and quickly released his grip on the girl's mouth.
He really didn't do it on purpose.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." He apologized to the girl.
"Fucking bastard, let me go!!" The girl shouted angrily, pushing Chen Tian away from her.
Chen Tian let her go and took a step back, his hands held up in surrender.
He could understand her anger and frustration, knowing that being restrained like that would have been terrifying.
"Young Miss, are you okay? Did this bastard hurt you?"
After Chen Tian let the girl go, the man who was the leader of this group of bodyguards approached her, trying to see if she was hurt or in need of any medical attention.
The girl took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"I'm fine..." Ming Ming said.
Seeing that the young Miss was safe, the man turned and looked at Chen Tian angrily.
"I'm really sorry," Chen Tian repeated, his voice filled with genuine remorse.
He hoped that she would see that it was all just a terrible misunderstanding and perhaps forgive him.
"I'm really sorry; it wasn't on purpose; I entered here by mistake."
He tried to explain the situation, but the man's anger had already escalated to the point where he was no longer willing to listen.
"Stop lying!!"
"Like we would believe you, do you think it easy to enter this place without passing through us?" The man's voice was filled with anger.
"This room is guarded 24/7, and there's no way you could have accidentally entered without anyone noticing," the man continued, his voice filled with skepticism.
Chen Tian felt a sinking feeling in his stomach as he realized that his plea for understanding was falling on deaf ears.
It seemed that his hope for forgiveness was slipping away with each passing moment.
Chen Tian felt a pang of frustration but remained composed, determined to find a way to convince the man of his innocence.
He knew that his only chance was to remain calm and provide a logical explanation for the situation at hand.
"Man, capture that fucking dog!" The man shouted, pointing towards Chen Tian.
"Wait, Liang Wei, stop he..." Ming Ming wanted to interject, but her words were drowned out by the man's anger.
"Young Miss, stay back; I will handle this dog," Liang Wei shouted back, his voice filled with determination.
Liang Wei was angry at this moment because Chen Tian, an intruder, was able to enter this room that was protected by him.
It was a true disgrace for him and a stain on his carrier; he needs to prove his worth and protect his young miss.
Ming Ming wanted to intervene and prevent them from attacking, she had a strong hunch that Chen Tian wasn't an assassin.
If he had been, he likely would have killed her without hesitation and wouldn't have released her so readily. Chen Tian's apology conveyed to her that he harbored no harmful intentions.
Unfortunately, Liang Wei wasn't in his right mind and didn't try to listen.
Before she could convince Liang Wei to reconsider, it was already too late.
The group of bodyguards lunched in Chen Tian's direction.
Since the young Miss wasn't in danger anymore, the bodyguards didn't hold back and decided to capture Chen Tian.
Chen Tian, however, remained calm and composed, understanding the gravity of the situation.
His eyes shone with a cold glint as he realized that there was no escaping this confrontation.
He wasn't a saint.
If someone threatened him or those he cared about, he would fight back.
Because he was in the wrong here, he didn't fight back at first, but that doesn't mean that he would wait to be butchered like a helpless lamb.
"If you don't want to listen, then don't mind me for being rude," Chen Tian said calmly, his voice dripping with determination.
"Hahaha, what are you going to do? You are surrounded by experts that could crush you with a single blow," Liang Wei sneered, confident in the superiority of his people's strength.
"Men, capture him!!"
"Bastard, you better surrender, or we'll make sure you regret it!" One of the bodyguards shouted, lunging towards Chen Tian with a menacing look in his eyes.
Chen Tian knew that he was outnumbered, but so what!
He was a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator, so what could mere mortals do to him? With a calm demeanor, he swiftly dodged the bodyguard's attack, his movements fluid and precise.
As the bodyguard stumbled, Chen Tian delivered a powerful counterstrike, sending the man flying across the room.
The other bodyguards watched in disbelief, their confidence wavering as they realized they were facing a formidable opponent.
Chen Tian's eyes gleamed with determination.
Without any words, he disappeared, reappeared behind another bodyguard, and slapped him across the face, his speed and agility leaving everyone in awe.
The room fell into silence as Chen Tian effortlessly took down each bodyguard one by one, showcasing his incredible combat skills.
As the last bodyguard lay defeated on the ground, Chen Tian stood tall, looking in Liang Wei's direction.
The guy had a frowning expression; clearly he didn't like Chen Tian's display of skill.
He never expected his opponent to be so formidable.
"So you were a martial artist, no wonder; you were so brave to sneak inside this place," Liang Wei muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with a mix of surprise and anger.
"But so what do you think that being a martial artist is enough? Hahaha, today I will show you what true power looks like," Liang Wei retorted confidently.
Chen Tian could sense Liang Wei's arrogance in his voice.
It seems that the guy had never lost a fight before and was overestimating his own abilities.
