Free Web NovelChapter 1217: Chapter 1217: The Big Fight
"All right! Come on! Cover his nose and mouth, let him go without so much pain, cleanly, without bloodshed!"
A few young thugs were gathered together; their words reached Nicole’s ears as she stood at the mouth of the alley. Her body trembled violently.
No doubt about it, the kid they intended to kill was her own nephew—Ryan Seys!!
Nicole quickly approached, supporting her body, watching the child surrounded by these thugs.
In the dim light, the Mutton Fat Jade Pendant hanging on Ryan’s neck caught her eye. It was a birthday gift from Grandpa Seys, one of a pair, with Ryan and Iris each having one. Seeing that pendant, Nicole almost without hesitation sprang into action as the group moved to kill Ryan.
Facing six alone, all the adversaries were young and burly men; Nicole’s body involuntarily trembled and felt weak!
Nicole found it extremely taxing to deal with six people. Usually, she wouldn’t fear these men at all, but now her stamina was already depleted...
Nicole’s palms struck them blow after blow, shifting position to protect Ryan, her eyes cold: "You dare to lay a hand on someone from the Seys Family!"
The men exchanged glances, turning their gaze towards Nicole, "Who are you? Mind your own business! Get lost the way you came!"
Nicole’s gaze swept over them, her voice icy, "My last name is Seys!"
Their expressions changed slightly, not expecting someone from the Seys Family to intrude into the Restricted District looking for someone!
The leading man scolded his companions, "What are you afraid of? Are we six grown men really scared of one woman?! Let’s deal with her and this little brat together!"
While they were distracted by talking, Nicole tore the tape off Ryan’s mouth, seeing the pain covering in his pale face.
"Aunt..." Ryan’s eyes were a bit red, but he didn’t cry like a spoiled child.
"Ryan, don’t be afraid, Aunt is here. Your mom and dad and Grandpa and Grandma are all looking for you, don’t be afraid, the bad guys can’t hurt you." Nicole softly reassured.
Ryan nodded, "I’m scared, but I won’t cry! I won’t let them laugh at me!"
Ryan’s face was pale, his eyes a deep red, yet he bit his lip and held back his tears, his expression as cool and collected as Arlo Seys’s.
Nicole smiled slightly, "Right, you are Ryan, the Little Crown Prince of the Seys Family, don’t let these bastards underestimate us! You’re doing great, Ryan!"
"Aunt, watch out!" Ryan squealed, his small lips trembling.
Nicole immediately turned, a man was swinging a stick at them.
"Ryan!" Nicole’s face changed; she pulled Ryan, rolling him to the side.
Not daring to block the stick with her hand, with them crouching and others standing, all she could do was steer clear of its path.
Nicole rolled to the side with Ryan, shielding him well with her left wrist. Her left elbow hit the ground first, bearing the weight of their fall, the pain making her knit her brows tightly.
Nicole’s face turned pale, her first impulse was to check if Ryan was hurt anywhere.
"Aunt, I’m fine." Ryan shook his head at Nicole, his face indifferent, but his eyes were filled with panic as he glanced at the approaching men.
Nicole’s left hand was injured, struggling to stand up slowly, watching the six approaching men with sticks, she held Ryan’s hand and retreated step by step.
"If it’s money you want, the Seys Family can give it to you! As long as you tell us who’s behind this kidnapping of my nephew, I’ll promise you a sum of money, and we won’t hold you accountable!" Nicole said coldly, biting her teeth.
