Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: The prince is saving the princess

Inside the room, a group of men laid in pools of blood, visibly dead.

But what shocked Ji Yan was that near the bodies of the members of Black Wolf Gang, there were some extremely familiar faces lying with their bodies twisted in weird angles.

Wait... Aren’t these the shadow guards sent to look for Miss Yu? They must have taken down the gang members but who took them down? What in the world had transpired here?

"What exactly happened here? How did you all end up like this?" Ji Yan asked the bunch of men who were still conscious.

And everyone’s swollen face steered in one direction.

Meanwhile...

Adrian’s footsteps did not pause.

The man crossed the pool of corpses and living people as if he was striding on plain grass.

In the corner of the dingy room, slumped against the wall, was Ella.

Ji Yan’s eyes followed theirs and what he saw rendered him motionless for a moment.

Ella’s eyes were bloodshot and the way she looked at them was akin to how one would look at strangers.

Oh no!

"Second Master, wait!"

However, he was a tad bit too late.

Adrian had stopped in front of Ella.

Ji Yan and even the visibly tormented shadow guards held their breaths.

After a few seconds, nothing happened.

Everyone sighed in relief. Luckily... Luckily...

’Pak’

The sound of a crisp slap reverberated inside the dimly-lit room.

With jaws dropped, the men watched as their noble second master’s face whipped to the side by the impact of the slap.

Adrian shot a fleeting look from above his shoulder and all the men who were rushing forward halted in their tracks, their faces pale.

Adrian turned to look at Ella, her messy hair framed her face. Her body was covered in numerous injuries, big and small. And her eyes were unfocused.

When he reached out his hand towards her, her body jolted. She grabbed his wrist.

’’Second Master, be careful. Miss Yu... is barely conscious of her actions right now!" One of the shadow guards reported abruptly.

Ji Yan stepped forward, ’’Second Master, let us first take her to the doctors...’’ Looking around at the shadow guards with multiple injuries, he had to believe it even if it was not believable, ’’It’s very unsafe to go near her right now..."

His jaws dropped when Adrian took another step closer to Ella.

"I am sorry.’’

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Adrian leaned forward and kissed Ella’s forehead, ’’For being late.’’

Those words were spoken softly yet they were powerful enough to shake everyone’s hearts.

Forget Ji Yan who got the daily exposure of Adrian’s and Ella’s interaction, the rest of the shadow guards had completely frozen over.

Ella raised her head.

Everyone stood in a wary position. Was she going to attack the Second Master for real this time?

Adrian touched Ella’s hair, ’’It’s fine now,’’ he whispered in a soft voice that one would not know he was capable of.

And in the next moment, Ella’s eyes glossed over. A hint of recognition lit in her eyes before her body lolled forward.

Adrian caught her in his arms.
