Lin Chen stared at Lin Yu, horrified. He couldn''t believe what had just happened. For Lin Chen, everything happened in a blur. He turned around to talk to Shen Junxi while still thinking of a proper excuse to avoid his wrath. Then out of nowhere - whoosh - a cold air buzzed past him, carrying an axe that nted itself in a tree.


    Lin Chen was stunned, and so was Lin Jing. He didn''t know what had happened. All he saw was Lin Yu tugging the axe out of a tree stump and throwing it at Shen Junxi, or at the very least the roof behind him.


    Lin Jing blinked while Shen Junxi simply looked over his shoulder, like the thing that was thrown in his direction wasn''t an axe, but a fluffy bunny. He didn''t even flinch, and when he looked back at Lin Yu, he nodded his head admiringly. "You got guts, brat! That was some throw."


    Lin Chen felt a chill crawl up his spine as he whirled Lin Yu around by his shoulders, his eyes so wide that they nearly popped out. "Yu? Are you freaking insane? Like, seriously, did you just throw an axe? Like how can you hurl an axe at someone through the air without any hesitation! Are you out of your mind?"


    "I didn''t hurl it without r...reason," said Lin Yu with an eye roll. He raised his hand and pointed behind Lin Chen, "look behind before youe after my a...ass, I didn''t just throw it because I w...wanted to, third brother."


    Lin Chen and Lin Jing turned to look where Lin Yu was pointing simultaneously. There sprawled on his back was a man with a mask and an axe embedded in his shoulder. Around the man, there was arge amount of blood, and he was covered in it. While this was disturbing enough, he was clutching a baby in his arms as well.


    Lin Chen blinked, and then a white-hot rage overtook his mind as he let go of Lin Yu and rushed to the man. When he reached the man lying on the ground, the first thing Lin Chen did was snatch the iling baby and hand it over to his eldest brother before taking off the man''s mask.


    However, even after removing the mask, he couldn''t remember whether or not he had ever seen this man. Lin Chen had a good memory, and it wasn''t weak, but this man was so average looking he was hard to describe. If you put the man into a crowded group, he would never be noticed. Almost a form of invisibility because of just how average the man was. Lin Chen looked back at his brothers and asked, "Have you seen him before?" pointing to the man.


    Lin Jing and Lin Yu shook their heads. They hadn''t seen the man before. This was their first time seeing him.


    "Hmm, most likely he is a hired killer or something," mused Shen Junxi as he rubbed his chin. He was pondering over something as he assessed the man, "He looks sturdy, and his hands are rough like a soldier. He has probably studied martial arts and knows how to wield a sword. Luckily, your little brother took him by surprise, or else neither of you would have been able to take him down. He looks bloody strong."


    "I don''t think he c...came to hurt us," said Lin Yu, as he kicked the assassin''s shin, making thetter groan. "He must be hired to s...scare second brother. Didn''t second brother say he heard a child cryingst night? It m..must be him who w..was standing on second brother''s roof and made the child cry."


    "So you are trying to say that Wan Wan suffered through all of the different tribtions because of this man?" said Lin Chen. His voice increased in volume and anger as he red at the man, to think it was this man who made Su Wan suffer! Lin Chen was pissed! He was enraged! He stood up and then started kicking the axe stuck in the man''s shoulder. Bang! BANG! BANG! Again and again, he stomped on the axe with his foot, making the man cry out in pain. Because the man had lost a lot of blood, his voice wasn''t strong, and he could only groan as Lin Chen kicked him.


    "Oi! Third b...brother, we want him alive!" said Lin Yu, his eyes narrowed as he red at his third brother. Wasn''t this man just scolding him because he threw the axe? At least he did it swiftly and didn''t torture the man. What was with his third brother?


    "Your brothers are quite ruthless,"mented Shen Junxi as he watched Lin Yu and Lin Chen discuss dealing with the assassin. "I mean that it''s not a bad thing, but they- are you okay?"


    He paused when he saw that Lin Jing had turnedpletely pale. He raised his hand and then waved it in front of Lin Jing''s eyes; however, thetter didn''t even blink, a bit flustered Shen Junxi shook Lin Jing by his shoulder and -


    BAM!


    Lin Jing''s body fell to the ground.


    Aha! The boy was so surprised that he fainted out of disbelief. Shen Junxi looked at the passed-out Lin Jing and then at the two brats who were still bickering. His eyes twitched at the sight of two cute young boys discussing how to wrench a bloody confession out of the criminal. He then looked over at the big, bad scar face brat who passed out because he saw his brothersmit such a bloody act.


    One way or another, these brats were quite unique.


    "Oi! Brats! Your elder brother passed out because of shock. Help me take him to his room!" shouted Shen Junxi, pointing at the unconscious Lin Jing.


    Lin Chen and Lin Yu, who were having a heated discussion of whether to skin the assassin alive or gouge his eyes out, paused their debate. They turned to look back at their elder brother, who was paler than the moonying on the ground. The two of them exchanged a nce with each other in realization.. They let the cat slip out of the bag on their true natures.
