To Love You Again

Chapter 778 - Dire Situation

The fight between the Tang experts and the seven masked men in the hall brought more chaos. As bullets hit the floor and numerous glasses shattered, the guests under the table screamed in fear.

They could only hide and hug themselves as they pray that the shooting would die down. There were even some unfortunate people that got hit by stray bullets. Most of them were butlers and staff who could not hide enough.

Once the gas masked men fully got the upper hand from the Tang experts, they divided themselves. The first group was left to fight the Tang experts while the other group followed the other man to the legendary tables.

The first man who withdrew from the fight went near the Xiong table. He could hear the staggering breaths of three people under the table. He then flipped the table with his gun pointed towards them.

Zhou Min immediately attack the man as soon as they were exposed.

!!!

The gas masked man was a little slower to react to the sudden attack. His gun was flung away by Zhou Min. He only recovered and took his knife to fight Zhou Min. Soon, Zhou Min and the man were tangled by each other.

The other men from the opposing group saw one of the targets and immediately pulled Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi did not care how weak she was. She jabbed the man under his chin. But the man immediately blocked it and slapped her hard.

The slap had qigong on it. Her head swayed at the side and she became dizzy. She tasted blood in her mouth.

"Zhi'er!" Old Xiong yelled with wide eyes. He then took his cane in anger and hit the man.

The man was impatient and he pushed the old man with his giqong. Old Xiong's weak body was thrown to the ground and he coughed hard. The old man was hit on the abdomen.

"Grandpa!" Xiong Zhi yelled. But the man clutched her neck. Xiong Zhi turned purple from the lack of air.

Lu Yin Ze could not bear it anymore and ran out from his hiding.

"Yin'er!" Old Lu shouted, terrified. Butler Lu immediately ran after Lu Yin Ze.

"Let her go!" Lu Yin Ze punched the man with great effort.

The man was surprised by his punch and accidentally let go of Xiong Zhi.

Lu Yin Ze was angry. His face was red. He was about to punch the man again when he felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck. He was hit on his nape. Another man in a gas mask had sneakingly came behind him and hit him. Against an expert who had great qigong more than him, Lu Yin Ze just become a chicken ready to be slaughtered.

Lu Yin Ze's vision blurred. His body fell down. He fainted.

Old Lu: "No!"

The old man hurried to get up to get back his grandson. Butler Luo tried to get Lu Yin Ze but the masked man stopped them. Soon, an intense fight occured.

"Lu Yin Ze!" Tang Yin shouted. She pulled up the table cloth and was about to run towards Lu Yin Ze when Mistress Tang tightly held her arm. "It's dangerous Yin'er."

Tang Yin opened her mouth to be stubborn when she happened to saw Mistress Tang glancing at the main door.

Tang Yin also looked in that direction. Her heart froze.

More men came into the hall. But they weren't the Tang family's experts. Those men were wearing gas masks. They all had horrifying scars and their clothes were drenched in blood. It was mixed by their own blood and their enemies'.

From the looks of it, the fight outside was truly bloody and intense. Despite their injury, none of them showed pain or act like they were hurt at all.

The guests inside immediately covered their mouths. They heard the dispute at the front row but they were afraid to even peek. When their butlers told them that more enemies came, they shrunk even more. They were afraid these people would suddenly pull them under the table and kill them.

The chaotic hall suddenly turned quiet except for the fight near the stage.

Zhou Min was fighting three men. Behind him was Old Xiong who fainted from the pain. Zhou Min was trying to rescue Xiong Zhi from the masked men and he was winning. However, more people came in.

His face turned paler. With the newcomers, the odds would not be in his favor.

He turned to the side where the Tang experts were. But it looked like the others died and there was only one person fighting one man. His eyes then glanced at Butler Luo who was fighting the man who hit Lu Yin Ze.

In this situation, their side was losing.

While fighting these men, Zhou Min realized what these people aimed for. Their aim was none other than the Heiress and Lu Yin Ze. In other words, the legendary families. If that's the case, the guests would be safe for the time being.

Once these people got their targets, they would immediately leave. But he could not let them leave with the Heiress. He need to keep these men here longer until their men came. His priority was to get back the young miss.

Zhou Min's brain worked fast. He looked for an opportunity to fight all these men at once.

He calculated as his eyes swept in the room. One second passed seemed like a few hours.

The butlers in the room were not only him and Butler Luo. Yet right now, all of the butlers were hiding under the table. If all the butlers here took courage to fight with them, then they could defeat these people just by numbers.

Zhou Min knew he could not count on the masters here to help them. But he still tried to stir their hearts and yelled, "Lend us your strength! On behalf of Head Master Xiong, those who would lend us a hand today would not be forgotten. Your kindness would be returned ten times! The Xiong family would be forever grateful to you!"

Some of the trembling guests halted. They glanced at their butlers. Zhou Min's words were very tempting. They could use this chance to be on the legendary families' good side. They could let their butler help the legendary families and maybe let their butler sacrifice their life for them. Then they would reap the benefits later on. However...

The guests peeked carefully at the newcomers who were approaching the front row. They trembled just by the sight of them.

No way they could let their butlers leave their side in this life-threatening situation. Their own life was still important rather than some favor. They could gain favor at a later time, but they could not gain another life again.

So their only reply was silence to Zhou Min's yelling.

Tang Yin heard Zhou Min's words. She tried to get back her arm from Mistress Tang's hold. The rim of her eyes was red, "Grandma, I will help them."

Mistress Tang could not afford to lose Tang Yin. Seeing that the masked men target were mostly heirs of the four families, she was scared for Tang Yin. She looked at the pale expert instead, "Go help them. We can protect ourselves."

The expert followed Mistress Tang's words and joined Zhou Min.
