Chapter 347 - 7.37 Don’t Come Closer
Two things happened all at once.
First, a small bundle of pink crashed into Regius from behind, followed by a childish, enraged shout. "Bad bug, I am going to squash you like a mosquito!"
Cheryl was already nine years old. For the past few months, she had eaten three luxurious meals a day followed by two sessions of snacks, and after each snack she would take a short nap for an hour. She had gained at least 5 kilograms, her cheeks and tummy all round and chubby. Wiith such a weight barrelled in on him from behind, Regius stumbled and lost his balance with a surprised cry. His momentum faltered and the thing he gripped in his hand actually flew out!
Second, Lu Yizhou had seen the strange glint on Regius’ eyes and all of a sudden, his my-lover-is-in-danger radar started tingling. The hair on the back of his neck stood on its end and before his brain could process, he had dragged Moshe behind his back and put himself in front.
It took him a fraction of second to realize what was currently flying in midair. It was the same glass vial as in the one in Zion’s possession! The potent, liquid drug that could turn humans into animals. Just one whiff was enough to make one intoxicated. Lu Yizhou sucked in a surprised breath as the scene in front of him turned into a slow motion. He heard Moshe’s exclamation, Regius whose face met the ground followed by the two bodyguards who angrily lunged forward to apprehend him again, the bewildered faces of the people around and lastly... the flash of horror in Cheryl’s little face as she screamed, "Brother!"
Lu Yizhou’s pupils contracted. If this vial shattered, then the smell would possibly spread around this area. The kind of effect it would cast on Moshe and Cheryl... no, he couldn’t let it happen!
In that critical second, he pushed Moshe out of the way as he leaned backward, trying to catch the vial on his other hand. It bumped against his fingertips and bounced back further. Lu Yizhou did a flip midair to seize the vial right before it crashed to the ground. Alas, there was one thing he had miscalculated. Either his grip was too strong, or the vial was made to be fragile, it actually shattered as Lu Yizhou rolled on the ground to halt his momentum!
"Stop!" He bellowed toward Moshe who was rushing to him, hastily putting a distance between himself and everyone else. "Don’t come closer!"
Moshe looked a little ill. "Aiden! W—What..."
