Out of her survival instinct, Gloria Taylor struggled hard and fell to the ground with the chair.
“Damn it!”
The kidnapper was pissed off. He kicked her stomach and reached out his hand to grab her hair to pull her back up.
His kick was a little too strong. Gloria Taylor was covered in cold sweats.
She was thinking of how she could avoid the man’s disgusting hands.
The man was pulling her hair to get her back up. Suddenly, the door was kicked open from outside. It made a loud noise.
Bang!
Gloria Taylor’s hair was torn and her head was hurt. She pursed her lips while looking at the door.
She saw a familiar figure standing at the doorway. Her fear that she held back flooded like a riptide. Her tears was pouring down her cheek.
Although her tears was falling, but she didn’t cry at all. Instead, she smiled and looked at the man at the doorway, “Leon, you’re here.”
Gloria Taylor realized that she could remain calm and confident because she was sure that someone would come and save her.
The one would come to save her must be the best among the people she knew and best of them all was Leon Clarke.
Kenny Clarke clenched his fists when he saw the situation inside. He was raging with anger and he was fearful like the devil from hell.
Both of the kidnappers were so frightened that their voice shook, “You… who are you?”
When the person surnamed Taylor told them to kidnap Gloria Taylor, they didn’t say that there would be a bunch of people coming to save her.
“You can ask this question again in the next life.” Kenny Clarke walked approaching the man. He said in a low and cold voice, “Because in this life, you won’t have the chance to know.”
He talked and walked slowly toward them. However, after a sudden fast movement, before they could see his action, they were smashed heavily to the ground. Soon, they curled up with pain.
Kenny Clarke crouched down and carefully propped her chair back up. He quickly untied her rope.
His face was flat, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. He looked terrible.
Gloria Taylor was worried after she found out that no one came in after Leon Clarke.
In other words, he came alone.
He asked her, “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. Why do you come alone?” she didn’t know how he found this place and it was risky for him to come alone.
“It’s enough even if I’m alone.”
He was bowing his head, so she couldn’t see his eyes.
“Go out and wait for me outside.” He said, almost like a command.
Gloria Taylor was relieved that he was confident. However, when she tried to lift her foot, she found out that she was weak and sore that she couldn’t walk at all.
Even though she appeared calm, unlike her heart, her body was honest.
She was scared.
Kenny Clarke stretched out his hand and pulled his tie off. He covered her eyes by tying it to her head. He pushed her to the chair so sit. Then, he pushed the chair to the corner of the room.
He whispered in a low voice, “It will be over soon.”
After that, Gloria Taylor heard the sound of fighting and shrieks. The smell of blood filled the room.
When the smell of blood was getting stronger, the shrieks quieted down.
Now, everything was silent.
Gloria Taylor felt his hand on hers, he said, “It’s done. Let’s go.” Gloria Taylor reached out to remove the tie form her eyes, but Leon Clarke stopped her.
“We can talk outside. Follow me.”
With her blinded eyes and dark sight, she followed his lead outside. Her mind was once again peaceful.
But, this scared her.
Out of the room, Leon Clarke stretched out his hand and pulled her tie off eyes.
She blinked to adapt with the light.
It was already dark, but she could vaguely see grass around her.
They were still in the suburbs. They just moved the location from the abandoned garage to wherever here was.
They were holding each other’s hands tightly. Her hand was cold while Leon Clarke’s was warm.
For the first time ever, she didn’t try to dodge him, she was willingly led by him.
Out of impulse, she looked back at the half closed door with fear. The kidnappers were lying on the ground, motionless, bathed by blood. One of them was out cold with eyes opened looking at her direction.
Was he dead with his eyes opened?
Gloria Taylor was shocked and shuddered by the idea. Did Leon Clarke kill those kidnappers?
Leon Clarke felt that she was acting strange. He looked at her not knowing what she was thinking. He lingered his arms on her shoulders.
“You… I can walk alone.” Gloria Taylor said.
Leon Clarke didn’t reply.
Gloria Taylor found out that he didn’t speak much since he made his appearance.
Leon Clarke took her to the car.
Gloria Taylor had many questions to ask, but the car was too warm and there was Leon Clarke beside her. Her tense nerves could finally relax and soon, she fell asleep.
After driving for a while, Leon Clarke noticed that Gloria Taylor was sleeping.
She looked like she didn’t suffered much. Her hair was messy, but there was no scratch on her hands and face.
She had long escaped the danger, but it still scared the hell out of him.
He hated kidnappers the most.
They all deserved to die.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Shi Ye.
“Sir, where are you?” Shi Ye was worried. He heard people say that the young master drove away, but they didn’t know where he’d gone.
Kenny Clarke ordered in a low voice, “I will send you the address and you will send someone to clean up the mess.”
After a pause, Shi Ye replied, “Yes, Sir.”

The heater in the car worked so well that she woke up warm.
She didn’t see Leon Clarke around. She turned around and looked outside the window. She vaguely saw a tall figure in the dark, but it was too dark that he merged with it.
She opened the car door and the cold winter wind made her shuddered.
He heard the noise and he turned around, “Don’t get out of the car. I’ll come back inside after done smoking this cigar.”
