Regal Guard of Dragon

"Yes! It's valuable.”

His companions were so surprised that they could say so in exclamation

"Tell exactly how much the watch is worth. Is it worth a house in Tunsen First Community?"

His companions nodded slowly.

He froze with surprise before he could realize what happened.

"Are you telling the truth? Couldn't it be that you mistook it?" he whispered.

"No. This is the latest style of the year. I have been following it a few days ago.”

"Is it the watch that only the rich can afford and the poor can only admire?"

His companions nodded again. The man finally realized that he had encountered troubles.

His companions quickly sent the watch back to him. He was scared and shocked. If he broke the watch, he might have to sell his house to get one.

Holding the watch carefully, he made his way to Finn.

"Sir, it's really an amazing watch. Here you are. I'm sorry. I was blind that I didn't notice you are rich. I'm just a redneck.”

Finn looked back at this humble young man. He just wanted to get rid of them quickly. Sienna must be angry for wasting so much time. Taking the watch and putting it on, he said, "Stay low-key. There are tons of rich people out there.”

The men nodded heavily.

"Thank you for not blaming us. See you."

Then the men turned around and ran away.

That was the end of the train drama. Luckily Sienna didn't complain, but the way she looked at Finn was weird.

Soon, they came to the northwest desert. When they were still in the city, they didn't feel anything, but when they arrived at the Gobi desert, they felt it very desolate.

Stretching in front of them was a vast of lonely desert. It was much less energetic and vital than in urban areas, and the land here seemed to be in dead need of water, dry and hard.

Finn asked a man as he sat on top of an oxcart.

"Has this always been like this before?”

"Not all places are like this. When we pass this section, there will be oases with lush grass and lots of cattle and sheep,” said the man replied.

Finn was pretty curious.

As they went on, they saw herds of cattle and sheep just as the man had said.

But there were something different from what the man had said.

Lying on the ground, Finn found it hard to breathe.

He had not expected that such a kind and honest man would do so "Why did you do it?" asked Finn.

"I have no choice. They threatened to kill my daughter if I didn't listen to them,” cried the man.

Looking at the man crying, Finn was angry, but he didn't know where to vent his anger.

Sienna, sitting behind Finn, didn't say a word. She just stared at the guys who were slowly approaching.

"Blame yourself for being too stupid,” said the fellow with a fur hat, who was laughing wildly.

With no strength to resist, Finn and Sienna were tied up and held in a cage, with no idea where the men would take them to.

After a long tough journey, they finally reached the destination.

It was an abandoned oil field in the middle of a desert, and a house that had been abandoned for years. Some guys were standing in front of the door.

Seeing the man with a fur hat coming back, a man came up to him. "Did you bring him back?"

"Of course. They were drugged. And we took him back effortlessly,” laughed the man with the fur hat.

"Good job, the boss will definitely reward you. What a good luck!" said the fellow jealously.

"Well, I don't want to waste more time. I have to take the woman to the boss. She's what can allow the boss to be a Martial Artist. I dare not neglect it."

Hearing that, Finn knew why they had managed to take Sienna. It turned out that they wanted to reach the Martial Artist realm.

He himself happened to get involved. If they found him useless, they would probably kill him

The coach was pulled forward again.

In front of the house was a larger office building. The coach pulled up by the gate and they dropped Finn and Sienna off.

A few people carried them into the office building.

But it seemed that the boss was not here at this time, so the man with a fur hat asked someone to inform him. After a while, they finally saw the boss.

Finn surveyed the man and felt that he had seen him somewhere.

“Isn't he Cruz?" Finn remembered the traveler who had stabbed Sienna, and who was going to take Finn to see the sunrise.

How could he be here?

After a moment, Finn had figured out what had happened. They probably thought Sienna was dead, and the boss could reach the Martial Artist realm. However, he didn't make it. So they knew something was wrong.

The big man planned to plot them. He didn't meet Sienna the first time, and he didn't meet her until the second time.

To get the job done, they simply tied up Sienna, and Finn, who had ruined their plan, was tied up as well.

Finn felt that he couldn't escape this time. He was hoping he wasn't a prime target and might be set free, but now he knew that was not going to happen.

"I didn't expect things to go so well."

Seeing the two people lying on the ground, Cruz was laughing wildly. "I didn't expect it to be you. It seems that you too believe there are only certain number of men can be Martial Artist,” said Finn lightly.

When Cruz heard Finn's voice, he looked at him.

"Oh, it's you. You ruined my plan last time, and now you send yourself here. How should I deal with you? To kill you? No. That's not cruel enough,” he teased Finn.

"I think it's more important to think whether or not you can break through the Martial Artist. No one proves that there are only certain numbers of men being a Martial Artist. But if you fail, you're going to offend the people behind Martial Artist.”

Finn didn't care what Cruz would do to him. He just wanted to change Cruz's mind and then escaped.

But Cruz smiled, "You're so naive. You think I'm going to let you go? You won't be able to get out today even if I can't reach the Martial Artist realm.”
