“How dare you! What makes you think I won’t really kill you, Richard? If anything happens to Rufus today, I am going to make sure that you die with him!” My eyes widened as I tightened my grip around Rufus.
Richard slowly loaded the gun and chuckled. “Oh, I’ve gone through a lot trouble just to get this bullet, alright. Even though I was only able to get three, I’m pretty sure it’s more than enough to deal with you. I will admit it was quite a pity that the bullet only hit Rufus’ shoulder. Still, it doesn’t matter anymore. Once hit by the bullet, he won’t be able to move at all. Oh, look. I’ve changed my mind now. I don’t think I want to kill Rufus just yet.”
Richard then pointed the gun to my head with a mad smile on his face. “I think I want to kill you first.”
I felt Rufus struggle a little bit in my arms. He nudged my hand, “Sylvia, Run. Just leave me alone. You can still escape from here. You’re fast enough.”
“No.” I squeezed him lightly, refusing to let go. “If anything happens to you, then I’m willing to die with you as well.”
Richard clapped his hands again as if he were watching a movie. “Oh, so touching! You’re lucky I’m in a good mood. Go on, say your last words to each other. It’ll be impossible for you to run away, anyway.”
“Sylvia, just run…” Rufus weakly whispered. I could feel his breath get weaker and weaker. At this time, his face was already black and blue all over. The wound on his shoulder also began to expand to other places now.
“No, I’m not going anywhere. Don’t make me.” I caressed his face, sobbing desperately. A cold wave surged through my body, causing my heart to violently contract. It was grief and anger at the same time, taking over my body.
The only thought that was clear in my mind was to kill the people right in front of me.
Richard’s POV
I was very satisfied with the outcome of the show I prepared. I defeated Rufus, the once invincible legend in the country.
From now on, his fame and achievements would be shattered into pieces. He would be put on the pillar of humiliation and despised by everyone.
As for Sylvia, I was not afraid of her at all.
Seeing them inseparable and reluctant to part, the hatred in my heart rose again. Although I defeated Rufus, it didn’t change the fact that he was a good lover. And I admit that.
I couldn’t help thinking of Lucy, and I felt disgusted.
I stomped my feet irritably. “Are you done? I’ve given you enough time already. Let’s get down to business.”
I raised my gun, ready to pull the trigger. I thought that victory was already in my hands. But strangely, the sky suddenly darkened, and a gust of cold wind blew.
Sylvia lowered her head, so I couldn’t see her face clearly. But I felt that her whole body was exuding an ominous aura.
The air around us seemed to freeze. Then suddenly, one of my men pointed at the sky and screamed.
I looked up and saw a flock of crows flying towards us at an extremely fast speed.
My heart skipped a beat. Although I didn’t know what was going on, I instinctively felt that something was wrong. I aimed my gun at Sylvia and pulled the trigger. But a crow suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked the bullet.
The crow’s eyes were strangely red, and its plaintive caws echoed in the forest like a creepy song of the dead. After a few seconds, the caws suddenly stopped. And the crow flapped its wings and fell to the ground.
There was a moment of silence. My hands trembled, and an inexplicable fear overwhelmed my heart.
At this moment, Sylvia raised her head, and I met her dark eyes full of deathly stillness. I was so scared that I fell to the ground.
She looked like a demon, staring at me. The crowds gathered above her densely, terrifying and eerie. She put Rufus down and walked towards me slowly.
Rufus seemed to have woken up from the chaos too. He called out Sylvia’s name in a hoarse voice painfully.
“Sylvia, don’t!”
I crawled back regardless of my image and shouted at my subordinates in a panic, “Why are you still standing there? Go get her!”
My subordinates immediately surrounded Sylvia upon hearing my order.
More and more crows gathered. The gray wolf beside Sylvia howled, and the wild wolves immediately rushed up to stop my men’s attack.
Sylvia stopped walking and stood behind the pack of wild wolves As soon as she raised her hand, hundreds of crows swooped down and attacked my men.
This large number of crows were bigger than the average ones. The shrill caws made my eardrums tingle, and I couldn’t help covering my ears.
Not to be outdone, the wild wolves bit my subordinates fiercely, which made them scream in agony one after another.
Sylvia started to walk towards me again. Her steps were very slow, but every step she took made my heart tremble.
She looked so horrible. Rufus was a monster, and his lover was a horrible devil.
I wanted to get up and run away, but I found that I had no strength to support myself at all. I regretted that I gave them time to talk nonsense just now. I should have killed them directly instead.
I stumbled backward, but Sylvia didn’t intend to stop. She was surrounded by several giant crows, and the ugly beasts were staring at me with their red eyes.
My scalp tingled, and I felt like I was caged prey. I felt suffocated as I knew I was close to death.
The damp earthy smell of the woods was gradually replaced by the smell of blood. The wind blew stronger and raised the hem of Sylvia’s shirt. My subordinates were all powerless now, so the crows stopped dealing with them and gathered around her.
As Sylvia got closer and closer, the fear in my heart intensified. In my eyes, she was like the god of death now and was about to take me away.
Rufus’ POV
Rin seemed to have sensed something. It whimpered beside me with anxiety and worry written all over its bloody face.
Something was terribly wrong with Sylvia right now. I called her name several times, but she ignored me and walked towards Richard on her own.
Richard was so frightened by the murderous vibe from Sylvia’s body that his mouth gaped open, but he couldn’t utter a word.
The crows surrounding Sylvia were restless. The sky got darker and darker, and the wind whistled unfathomably in the forest.
Rin whimpered again and ran towards Sylvia. Then it bit the hem of her trousers as if trying to pull her back.
But Sylvia still didn’t come back to her senses. She just dragged Rin forward.
A bad feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. If things went on like this, I was afraid that she would totally lose it and wouldn’t wake up anymore.
I struggled to get up from the ground and grabbed her wrist, enduring the pain.
