"Did you think I''m the easier target here, brat? How naive."
As he finished, Sil''s fingers slowly clenched around Kat''s neck, and heughed viciously as he did. "Go on, let me see how you will struggle before you die. It''s a shame to just kill you right here, but it''s really your fault for getting ahead of yourself!"
"No!"
"Please, we will leave! Just let the kid go!"
"She just got a little upset... She''d never mess with the Lionhearts!"
The residents panicked even as they watched Kat start to drain of strength, and some who were close with Nash were even tearing up.
"Hey, where the hell are you, Nash?!" One even called Kat''s father. "Your daughter''s going to die! Why would I lie to you?! Oh, she''s just trying to stand up for us, but... Just get over here! Wait, you''re in Zamri?!"
Amid the hollering, the light in Kat''s eyes were dimming and she was almost turning still.
Sil just had to squeeze a little to snap her neck, but he did not do it.
After all, he loved seeing a person, alive and kicking, slowly die in his grasp and before his eyes.
However, that was when he suddenly heard a whirling rotor overhead.
"Hmmm?"
Sil looked up to find a helicopter streaking toward them from a distance, with a man standing on thending skid, a hand holding on to the fusge.
"What...?" Sil murmured, since it was quite far for him to make out everything.
Onboard the helicopter, the pilot was shouting behind him, "I''m descending right now, Mr. Lawrence!"
"No, it''s fine!" Frank replied, his eyes rapidly searching and quickly finding Kat, whose neck was held up by a man while she barely breathed.
"Mr. Lawrence?!" the pilot eximed, as he almost had a heart attack as he watched Frank leap off the helicopter while leaving his parachute in the backseat!
Down below, the residents could all hear the raging bellow, "Let her go!"
Then, a man shot downward like a

Wo
Boom!
"Shit, what the fuck?!"
The thugs had never seen anything like that-an actual person leaping from over three thousand meters in the air without a parachute! What was that if not suicidal?!
Even as the shockwave from thending subsided, Sil felt the chill of danger creeping down his spine.
Almost purely by instinct, he flung Kat into the distance, while he leapt backward in evasion as a silhouette shot past him.
Without hesitation, the man stopped attacking him and leapt into the distance, catching Kat in his arms.
"Cough, cough..."
Kat was almost drifting out of consciousness and would really be dead if Frank had not made it in time.
