Chapter 228
At this moment, Gavin had a playful smile on his face. There was also a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He looked at Sally, who was curled up in the corner and crying her eyes out. Even her nose had turned black from the smoke.
She did look a little funny.
However, on the other side, Sally thought that Gavin’s smile was as warm as that of an angel when she saw it. No, a cool and
refreshing smile was probably a more apt description at this time.
She let out a crisp cry of surprise as if she had seen her savior, “Gavin!”
Tears flowed down her face once again.
Of course, it still constantly evaporated from the surrounding heat.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked in Gavin’s direction. She said in a trembling voice, “I’m not dreaming, am
I? Looks like God isn’t inhumane after all... He’s letting me see the person I like before I die.”
Gavin’s pupils constricted. Then, his expression turned strange as he exclaimed, “What did you say?”
Sally did not react at all when she heard Gavin.
In any case, the way she looked at Gavin in the firelight became even gentler. “Uh...” Gavin suddenly sensed something unusual
from Sally’s gaze.
However, he could not let Sally die here because of that unusual feeling.
After all, Sally was still Mrs. Muriel’s daughter.
He had no choice. He had to put aside Sally’s strange feelings for him for now. He had to save the little girl first.
Then, Sally’s originally gentle and warm gaze slowly stiffened and became that of shock.
She was now completely surrounded by flames.
She watched as Gavin stepped on the flames and walked toward her.
However, Gavin was not burned at all. Even his clothes were not ignited by the flames.
This was due to his body-protection energy as a high-level warrior. Flames of this level could not injure Gavin.
However, Sally did not know that.
She did not even know what body-protection energy was.
Sally even felt that such an unrealistic scene was very normal after a moment of
shock. She muttered to herself, “It’s just my imagination anyway. Everything seems so reasonable.”
However, just as Sally finished saying that, Gavin had already walked up to Sally. Then, he reached out and pinched Sally’s face.
“What are you doing here alone? Do you still want to live?”
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Sally immediately felt a sharp pain on her burning face when Gavin pinched her. Sally instantly woke up.
She exclaimed, “This isn’t a dream? This is not an illusion? Are you really Gavin?” Gavin rolled his eyes when he heard Sally’s
exclamation and said, “No shit!”
“Ah! Gavin!”
“Pfft!”
Sally jumped up from the ground and plunged into Gavin’s arms.
She bawled her eyes out.
She cried, “Gavin is here to save me! You’re here to save me!”
Gavin looked at the crying Sally in his arms and was speechless.
He could only pat Sally on the shoulder and say, “Alright, follow me out first! Have you learned your lesson? Let’s see if you still
dare to secretly follow me in the future.”
Gavin carried Sally and walked out of the fire.
Of course, Gavin could extend his body-protection energy and he perfectly enveloped Sally within it.
At this moment, Sally’s arms were wrapped around Gavin’s neck.
She stared straight at Gavin’s chin with her tear-stained eyes.
From this angle, Gavin was like a god walking out of the raging fire behind him. It was like his figure shone brightly as he
descended upon this world.
Sally was a little dazed.
Her cheeks were red. She did not know if it was because of the heat or something else.
But at this moment.
Crack! Crack!
They heard a series of cracks.
A thick log of wood, unable to withstand the heat of the flames, broke and smashed down toward Gavin.
Sally could see everything clearly from this angle. She exclaimed anxiously, “Gavin, be careful!”
Sally tried throwing herself out of Gavin’s arms as she shouted, wanting to block the impact for Gavin.
However, she was in Gavin’s arms and did not have any leverage. She could not get behind Gavin.
“Bang!” The log hit the back of Gavin’s head.
“Ah! Gavin!” Sally’s scream revealed the anxiety in her heart.
However, the log shattered into pieces, and Gavin was still steadily holding Sally.
His body did not tremble at all despite the immense impact.
Gavin acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to carry Sally in his arms as he walked out of the flames.
Sally was dumbfounded.
She had no idea what was going on.
The log must have been extremely heavy. Although Sally had never moved one before, a log that was used as a roof beam must
weigh a ton.
Something as heavy as that falling from such a high place would be enough to flatten someone into a pulp.
Gavin was hit in the back of the head, yet he showed no abnormality at all. Instead, it was the log that shattered.
At this moment, Sally suddenly recalled the scene she thought she had seen. previously.
Gavin had stepped on the raging fire and walked in front of her, yet even his clothes had not been set on fire.
It was the same now.
He was not ignited by the flames even though he was walking within the inferno.
She even felt that the surrounding temperature had become much cooler.
Sally even thought that the flames around her were an illusion.
However, the feeling of being roasted just now convinced her that the massive inferno was real.
She thought, ‘Then, the truth can only be one thing. Gavin is not afraid of fire or being smashed by heavy objects.’
“Uh...”
Sally no longer looked at Gavin with just infatuation. She was looking at him in a daze.
She wondered, ‘Is Gavin a human or a god? How can he do this? Isn’t Gavin too amazing?’
Just as Sally was being constantly shocked by Gavin, Gavin had already safely walked out of the Henderson family with Sally.
They arrived at the safe grounds
outside.
Harry and Rose spoke at the same time, “Dark Lord!”
Hearing their voices, Sally finally came back to her senses.
was only now that she realized she was safe.
However, she was still hanging around Gavin’s neck. Gavin had already let she had not.
The redness on her face made her cheeks look purple.
Sally quickly released her arms around Gavin’s neck.
go,
but
She immediately said, “Gavin, are you alright? You were hit just now. Are you injured?”
She even hurriedly ran behind Gavin to check if he was injured.
However, Gavin’s back was completely unscathed. He was not injured at all.
“Um... Gavin, how did you do it?”
Gavin heard Sally’s question, but he had no intention of paying attention to her. Instead, he said to Rose, “You’re in charge of
sending this girl back to the Tenny family. Tell Mrs. Muriel to get her to behave herself.”
A helpless smile appeared on Rose’s face when she heard Gavin’s instructions. Then, she nodded and replied, “Understood,
Benefactor!”
Then, she walked toward Sally and said, “Miss Tenny, let me send you home.” Meanwhile, Gavin had already turned around and
left with Harry.
Sally came to her senses.
“Gavin, don’t go! Gavin!”
She wanted to chase after Gavin but Rose stopped her.
“Miss Tenny, why don’t you go home with me?”
On the other side, Sally seemed to have discovered a whole new world. She said to Rose excitedly, “Rose, you didn’t see it just
now, but Gavin is so powerful! He can actually control flames!”
Rose thought, ‘Control flames? She’s already exaggerating the story...
