"Die!"

"Argh!"

"Yohan!"

Yohan bit his lip as a knife stabbed into his left abdomen. He held onto it as he continued to posture to protect his young master.

"Yohan! Yohan!"

The eight-year-old boy cried hysterically when he saw Yohan's severe injuries. His tiny palms gripped Yohan's clothes tightly and refused to let go.

"Listen, young master. You musn't cry. You must be strong." Yohan tried to rise to his feet and protect the child.

"Just hand over the child and we won't kill you!"

Yohan glanced at the three men surrounding him. He found it difficult to fight back because he had to protect his young master. Fighting three men like this would not have been difficult if he were alone, but he had another responsibility to protect the boy. They were all after him, and Yohan was responsible for protecting him.

Yohan immediately picked up the boy and carried him away even though his own body was badly injured. The men continued to chase Yohan. He, tired and in pain, entered a convenience store and hid near the food shelves. Some of the customers looked at Yohan with strange expressions, but they did not interfere.

Yohan immediately put his young master down. He grasped the boy's wrist tightly. "When I give the signal, you must run and not look back."

The little boy looked up with a surprised expression. "But..."

"Be strong, young master. I've already sent an emergency message to the other bodyguards. They will pick you up soon."

The little boy gripped Yohan's palm even tighter. "I don't want to. You have to come home with me."

Yohan smiled sadly. "I'll catch up with you, Young Master."

When the emergency message Yohan sent to his squad was confirmed to have been sent and they also confirmed that the convenience store was surrounded, Yohan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yohan, let's go home together," the boy said hoarsely.

Yohan rubbed his head lightly. " I'll catch up with you, Young Master. Take it easy."

"But..."

"I'll distract them. You should hide behind those shelves. When I've managed to keep them away, you should run out immediately."

The boy held Yohan's wrist. "You promised you'd come home, right?"

Yohan was silent for a while, seemingly hesitant to answer. "Y-Yes, I'll be home."

Yohan quickly helped his young master hide. Not long after he made sure he was safe, the people chasing him had made it into the convenience store and made a mess. Yohan immediately ran away from them. He could not fight in this place and had to keep the bad guys away from his young Master. The pain from the stab wound in his abdomen made his movements weak. He ran into the men's restroom as the convenience store was getting crowded with his fellow bodyguards who started arriving to arrest those three bad guys.

Yohan sat on the toilet as he sighed. He looked down and noticed the wound on his abdomen that he had been holding in the palm of his hand. The wound continued to bleed. Yohan chuckled softly, which immediately made the stab wound painful. He was sure the blood was dripping along the floor of the supermarket he passed.

"Good, I'll rest here for a while until they're all done with the three of them," Yohan muttered softly.

Yohan had only closed his eyes for a few seconds and was trying to neutralize his heartbeat when he suddenly heard a woman's scream from the women's restroom next door.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Yohan muttered under his breath.

He tried to stand up and winced again when the stinging pain from his wound was so painful. He should not have cared what was going on in the women's restroom. But somehow he walked out and checked what was going on out of curiosity. Yohan stopped when he was in front of the women's restroom. He hesitated to go inside because he was a man.

Yohan chuckled softly. "Ah, screw it!"

He could not bear to hear the screams for help from inside. He just hoped that if anyone else saw him, they would not get the wrong idea and think he was a perverted man peeping at women in the restroom.

"Help! Help me!"

Yohan gaped. "Wh-What is this?"

"Please, help me!" The girl screamed hysterically.

Yohan was still stunned by what happened. "She was swallowed by the floor?"

"Please, help me! Help!"

Yohan came forward and tried to grab the girl's palm. A circle of light with strange lines on the floor tried to pull the girl in. She was just a high school girl if Yohan saw the uniform she was wearing. She was crying hysterically and panicking. Yohan grasped her palm. The light on the circle glowed brightly and pulled the two of them more and more strongly.

"What the hell?"

Yohan winced in pain. He felt like he hit his head on something. He opened his eyes and tried to confirm the high school girl's condition.

"Hey, you're okay, right?"

"Hooray!"

Yohan was surprised by the cheering of the many people surrounding him. The high school girl was clutching his clothes tightly, making him grimace slightly as her grip slightly pressed on the stab wound on his abdomen. He was in a strange place that was very unfamiliar. He had no idea where he was and what exactly was going on.

A man in strange clothes knelt down and extended his palm to the high school girl.

"We have been waiting for your arrival, O our saintly maiden."

The high school girl was stunned to hear that. Slowly, she released her grip on Yohan's clothes and welcomed the strangely dressed man's hand.

Yohan bit his lip. He looked down slightly when he felt the wound on his abdomen was very painful. He even wondered if what he was seeing right now was just an imagination. Perhaps the stab wound on his abdomen had made him lose a lot of blood and he was on the verge of unconsciousness. Maybe his brain started to malfunction and his eyes started to hallucinate.

Yohan felt his eyelids getting heavier. He still heard the cheers around him, and he was still trying to maintain his consciousness. But the stab wound seemed to be quite deep. He could no longer bear it and soon collapsed into unconsciousness.

"Ah! Sir! Sir!" The high school girl panicked when she saw the man who tried to help her earlier suddenly collapse with blood oozing from his abdomen.

Everyone was shocked when Yohan suddenly lost consciousness. The stab wound on his abdomen was still dripping blood and littering the floor. The high school girl who was called a saint was immediately taken away with several bodyguards.

"Alastair, take care of that person and treat the wound."

A man with a flat face bowed respectfully when he received the order. He immediately picked up Yohan's body, carried him away and stopped the commotion happening in that place.
