NOVPUBChapter 1378: 647 Across the Ocean_6 Chapter 1378: 647 Across the Ocean_6 “Don’t underestimate her, even a brave man couldn’t match her courage.”
Kennedy said, “Let’s let those people test her out first, Big Brother, you should rest for now, I’ll have someone bring you some food later.”
Kennedy left the room, and Victor immediately came over: “Second Master, do you think the Big Master’s words are real?”
Kennedy responded with a glance: “What do you mean?”
“Human hearts are complex.
You may think of him as your big brother, but he may not.
He is on the same boat with those Jimenez people.
Can he get off it as simply as he says?”
Kennedy snorted: “I don’t want to hear this again, out.”
When the first ray of morning light tore through the dark, Aubree Groove stepped out from the tent, bent at the waist.
The scene in front of her eyes was spectacular.
Several people were lying haphazardly around the tent, Leandro Alvarez ordered his men to tie them all up.
“Miss, what kind of powerful poison is this?”
Last night, the young lady gave him a bag of medicinal powder, and instructed him to sprinkle it around the tent.
...
Hence, the scoundrels fell one by one even before they could get near the tent, without them making a move.
Aubree Groove handed the water bag to Leandro Alvarez, indicating him to pour it into her palm.
Leandro Alvarez did so immediately.
The clear water fell into her snowy white palm, then sprang onto her face, beautiful as a blooming flower.
The water droplets absorbed by her unblemished skin made her features exquisite and otherworldly.
After cleaning up, Aubree Groove walked slowly down the street: “It’s just a colorless, tasteless sedative.
They’ll wake up after being unconscious for twelve hours.”
Leandro Alvarez finally understood the truth.
The young lady had given him a packet of medicinal powder to put into everyone’s drinking water.
He hadn’t asked too many questions then, and now he knew it was an antidote.
The young lady certainly was thoughtful.
Aubree Groove didn’t get too far when she saw lots of low straw huts.
This place was filled with original inhabitants who still maintained their traditional way of life.
On the outside of these straw huts, a number of people were enclosed by a ring of iron wire, staring at her with numb and longing eyes.
Her gaze swept over elderly women and children.
Aubree Groove frowned, Leandro Alvarez explained: “After the island was occupied by pirates, these original inhabitants were corralled and imprisoned.
They’ve lost their freedom, and with their lives confined within the iron wires, nobody cares about their life or death.”
Aubree Groove walked up to the iron wire and children who were initially pasted to it rapidly recoiled, as if Aubree Groove was a beast.
Only one little girl leaned forward courageously.
With her slender arm, she easily reached through the wire’s gap and grabbed Aubree Groove’s skirt hem.
Leandro Alvarez wanted to drive away the little girl immediately but was stopped by Aubree Groove’s gaze.
Aubree Groove stooped down and smiled, asking in English: “What’s your name?”
The little girl’s blank eyes told her that she didn’t understand.
Then Aubree Groove tried over a dozen languages, but the little girl remained unresponsive.
Aubree Groove rubbed her temples, just when the little girl suddenly said: “Eat…”.
Aubree Groove looked up in surprise: “You can speak Chinese?”
The little girl understood this time and nodded shyly.
Aubree Groove smiled and said: “My name is Aubree Groove.
You can call me sister.
You need something to eat now, right?”
She spoke slowly, giving the little girl enough time to react.
The little girl nodded.
Her hair was thick, but seemed as if it hadn’t been washed since birth, tangled into a mess.
Her skin was of a deep brown color, her eyes were beautiful, showing cautiousness towards the world.
Her lips were somewhat thick, dry like a parched riverbed, with dead skin all over them.
Aubree Groove said to Leandro Alvarez: “Bring some food here.”
Leandro Alvarez was worried about leaving her alone here but Aubree Groove simply shook her head: “Go.”
Aubree Groove squatted down, gently saying: “You’re not fluent in Chinese, would you like me to teach you?”
The little girl nodded.
At that moment, the little girl looked behind Aubree Groove.
Suddenly her pupils contracted.
She suddenly screamed, her voice was heartbreaking.
Aubree stood up and slowly turned around.
There were four burly men standing before her, each holding a weapon.
One of them, a man with a pointed chin and thin cheeks, smiled slyly, “Someone is brave…to be alone, finally fell into our hands.”
His Chinese was halting, not fluent.
The lust in his eyes was unabashed and almost lingering on the person in front of him.
Aubree’s skirt was tugged, as she turned around, she saw worry filled the little girl’s eyes.
Aubree smiled lightly, comforting softly, “Don’t be afraid.
Sis will beat the bad guys.”
The man thought to himself, how can she still joke in this situation.
This woman was either stupid or ignorant.
Aubree asked, “Are you going to come one by one, or all together?”
“Quite a big talk, let’s see if you can still laugh later.” The man spat harshly, ordered his men, “Go, be gentle.
Don’t hurt the beauty.” Then he laughed lewdly.
Two of his men rushed forward eagerly, but before they could touch a bit of her clothing, they were kicked back hard and immediately collapsed on the ground, unmoving.
They didn’t even realize how she had attacked.
They only felt a flash of light in front of them, and they were down.
The leading man was taken aback, and subsequently examined the young girl with an attentive glance.
Secretly shocked, he had underestimated her.
The man remained calm, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Aubree.
“Let’s see if your legs are faster, or my gun.”
The young girl simply smiled and shook her head, as if she was looking at a childish prank.
This kind of silent insult made the man lose face.
He pulled the trigger and warned, “I’m not joking.
Walk over here by yourself.”
As Aubree stepped forward, the man instinctively backed off, thought for a moment, then threw a rope at Aubree’s feet, “Tie yourself up.
Quickly, or I will shoot you.”
Aubree slightly raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
The man stamped his foot in frustration, “What else could you possibly…”.
Before he could finish his words, there was a gust of wind.
The rope quickly flew up and coiled around the man’s wrist.
With a firm pull, the man stumbled over to Aubree’s feet.
All this happened in a flash and left the man stunned.
His sidekick was startled silly.
He looked at Aubree as if he was looking at a monster.
Aubree bent over to pick up the gun lying at her feet.
Her slender fingers on the cold black gun had fatal allure.
How could her expression be so relaxed?
As if it was not a deadly weapon that sparked fear, but just a simple toy.
At this moment, the man looked at the beautiful face that was close to him, he felt a baseless panic.
He heard the young girl’s gentle voice in his ear, like a bird hovering at sunset over the sea.
“When I started playing with guns, you were probably still in your mother’s belly.”
The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed to his temple.
The man was scared shitless.
“I don’t like to fight violence with violence, but sometimes, it really is the best solution.”
The trigger was pulled.
The desire to live made the man desperately beg for mercy, this time in Burnette language, his mother tongue.
After he finished speaking, he realized she might not understand, and closed his eyes in despair.
“In Burnette, Bushido is widely spread, but on you, I only see weakness and stupidity.”
The man’s eyes widened in shock.
He understood her words.
That was authentic Burnette language.
Who exactly was this woman?
From beginning to end she was filled with mystery.
All the man felt at this moment was deep fear.
