Chapter 1296: I'm Protecting This Girl
The faces of the three Blood Wolf members changed drastically. Although the third one's strength was not the strongest among them, he could at least contend with an ordinary Dragon Group Warrior from Huaxia. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Wang Dadong had pinned him to the ground, unconscious. Such strength was truly terrifying.
"Change the route immediately!" The leader had already realized that Wang Dadong was not someone easy to deal with.
"But Leader, doing so means our mission will fail."
"Do as I say!" The leader's voice left no room for doubt.
The leader inserted the tri-edged knife back into the sheath on his thigh, knowing that against Wang Dadong, this thing was utterly useless.
"Brother, I've already changed the route. I hope you can give us a break."
Wang Dadong silently returned to his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
"Listen up, everyone, our target this time is Princess Julia of Lesotho. We won't harm the innocent, so please hold your ID cards and passports in your hands."
The criminals finally revealed their true intentions.
People began searching for their IDs and passports, but they were still on edge. Claiming not to harm the innocent was a lie; they had just said they would kill everyone on the plane.
"No need to search. I am Julia!" At this moment, a thirteen-year-old girl, exquisitely dressed in a green dress, stood up.
"Princess!" An elder's face changed dramatically, but it was already too late.
"Grandpa Nus, I can't let everyone be harmed because of me. I am Julia, please don't hurt the other passengers," said the little girl with a sorrowful expression.
"Little girl, you are very courageous. Rest assured, I will make it quick for you," the leader was also taken aback, not expecting the Princess of Lesotho to be a thirteen-year-old girl.
For a thirteen-year-old girl to face death so calmly, indeed, it was a rare courage.
The mission Blood Wolf received this time was to kill Princess Julia of Lesotho and bring her body to Lia Island. Since no one knew what Julia looked like, Lone Wolf decided to kill everyone on the plane and then fly it to Lia Island. However, they hadn't expected to encounter someone as abnormal as Wang Dadong.
Though Wang Dadong expressed he wouldn't interfere, there were two hundred passengers on the plane. If all were killed, they couldn't possibly bring all the bodies back. So they had to find Julia and bring back just one body to complete their task.
They checked Julia's passport, but the person on it wasn't Julia, indicating she had anticipated the assassination attempt and had already altered her passport details.
This made it even more commendable—there was no way to find Julia through passports and IDs unless they killed all two hundred passengers.
"How can you prove you are the Princess of Lesotho?"
"The proof of my identity is on another plane, but if I weren't Julia, I wouldn't be foolish enough to stand up," speaking to a world-class mercenary with blood on his hands, the little girl astonishingly showed no fear, responding with calm courage.
The leader nodded, "Though you might be fake, just for your courage, I believe you."
Many were moved; a thirteen-year-old girl was braver than most of them.
"Sir, please, you must save the princess!" The elder beside the young girl suddenly kneeled before Wang Dadong.
"Grandpa Nus, you don't need to beg him. What he says is right; he has no obligation to save me. Just because he's strong doesn't mean he should help us," Julia smiled softly, speaking calmly.
"Julia, how can grandpa watch you go to your death?" The elder cried uncontrollably.
Julia wiped the tears from her grandpa's eyes, showing a pure smile, "Grandpa, don't be sad. Didn't you always tell me that everyone dies?"
When Julia was little, she used to ask Grandpa Nus if he would always be with her. At that time, Nus would laugh and say everyone dies, even grandpa, and if one day grandpa is gone, Julia must live on strongly.
"So when Julia is gone, grandpa must also live on strongly."
"Please, save this child."
"Yes, such a good child..."
The passengers were all moved by the little girl's optimistic and sensible nature and implored Wang Dadong to help.
In fact, Wang Dadong was also very moved in his heart, but he was wrestling with himself. He was always saving others, but there was no one to save his woman.
Thump!
Yet another person knelt before Wang Dadong.
Then the second, the third, soon most of the passengers in the cabin were on their knees.
"Don't beg him; he's just an emotionless cold-blooded animal. If heaven wasn't blind, it wouldn't have given him such skills!" a bullied woman sneered.
"If possible, I'd trade my old life for this child!" An elderly man with gray hair also kneeled before Wang Dadong.
Feeling that the situation was getting out of control, Lone Wolf planned to act immediately. If this continued, there was no guarantee that Wang Dadong wouldn't change his mind.
The sharp tri-edged military saber was drawn, thrusting towards Julia's back of the head. Lone Wolf was true to his word; he would swiftly deal with Julia. The saber penetrating from the back of the head could instantly destroy Julia's brain, causing her to lose consciousness in 0.1 seconds, a quick death.
However, the strike did not go through, as it was caught by a not-so-robust hand.
No matter how hard Lone Wolf tried, the military spike couldn't penetrate even half a centimeter further.
To catch with bare hands a full-force strike from someone comparable to a Superhuman Realm Intermediate warrior could naturally only be Wang Dadong.
Yet, he hadn't used his Vajra Invincible Body, hadn't activated his Inner Strength, or even his Sacred Body. He simply used his palm to grip the sharpest blade of the Mitsubishi Military Spike, with blood flowing through his fingers.
The feeling of pain came in waves, warming Wang Dadong's already cold heart little by little.
What was happening to him? Piao Xue was still alive, so why had he become so dispirited? Did he really believe that he couldn't save Piao Xue?
No! He firmly believed that he could safely rescue Piao Xue!
He couldn't give up hope so soon; if Piao Xue were here, she wouldn't want to see him so cold and heartless.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" With the military spike caught by Wang Dadong, Lone Wolf's face became somewhat ugly, not expecting Wang Dadong to still take action.
Wang Dadong slowly lifted his head and said indifferently, "My meaning is clear: I will protect this girl."
Lone Wolf's pupils shrank, coldly saying, "Brother, maybe I'm no match for you, but in our Blood Wolf organization, there are plenty who can handle you. Do you really intend to go against us, Blood Wolf?"
