chapter 36 You can start running away

"This is 20% of the original shares of our company. What I can offer you is just this much." Cecilia handed the signed share transfer agreement to Aiden. Aiden nodded and accepted it. He took out his phone to check the time, only to realize that the phone was turned off. It seemed he had forgotten to charge it last night. Cecilia had two phones—one for the company and one for personal use. Almost no one knew her phone number. The company phone happened to be out of battery as well. Using her phone, she scanned a shared power bank for Aiden. After charging, as soon as Aiden turned on his phone, it vibrated violently with a barrage of messages. Opening one, his face immediately changed. It was a message from William, informing him that Jacob had captured Xandra and Maple and he had already gone to rescue her. William also sent Aiden a location. "Aiden, that scumbag Jacob is powerful. If you don't come soon, Maple is in danger!" This was the last message from William. "Cecilia, I have an emergency. I have to go." Aiden didn't have time to explain; he left directly. Without even calling a car, he ran towards the location William sent. "Maple, hold on!" At that moment, his running speed was even faster than a car! Watching Aiden disappear in the direction he headed, Cecilia muttered to herself, "Aiden, what have you experienced in these three years?" ... Crack! The sound of bones breaking echoed. Maple's back was fiercely knocked against Jacob's knee. The spinal cord instantly fractured! Though Maple hadn't died immediately, she was on the brink of death. Even if she miraculously survived, she would become a vegetable. "Young Master, Maple did her best..." Maple slowly closed her eyes. "Boring!" Jacob casually threw Maple's body to the ground. Maple only had Mid-Stage Moon-Level strength. Even with the Seven Kills steps Aiden taught her, she could barely compete with a High Moon Level. However, Jacob's strength had reached Peak Sun Level, and the gap between their strengths was too significant. Jacob wasn't even satisfied yet. "Take these two women to my room, and kill the others," Jacob said, somewhat bored. He was ready to vent in another way. "Okay, bro!" Jackson agreed. Mason, holding a machete, walked towards the Ning Family members, preparing for a massacre. With Jacob backing them, even if they killed the entire Ning Family, there wouldn't be any problems. The Ning Family members were crying and begging for mercy. Some were so scared that they directly lost control of their bodily functions. "Jacob!!!" However, just as Mason's machete was about to strike the Ning Family members, a loud shout echoed. Aiden had finally arrived! Seeing Maple's tragic state, Aiden was infuriated to the extreme. Although he hadn't known Maple for long, she regarded him as her master without reservation. Even knowing she wasn't a match for Jacob, she chose to come and rescue him. Aiden wouldn't forget this favor. "Are you Aiden?" Jacob, who was about to leave, saw Aiden rushing over and narrowed his eyes. Aiden ignored Jacob and instead picked up Maple. "Maple, are you okay?" "Sorry, Young Master, I did my best..." Maple managed to force a smile towards Aiden, then fainted. Aiden gently ran his hand over Maple's body, feeling her injuries. Through her injuries, Aiden could understand what Maple had just experienced. Jacob had almost broken every bone in her body, even fracturing her spine. After checking the extent of the injuries, Aiden took a deep breath, took out the Nine Turns Golden Needle, and began to heal Maple. Maple was severely injured, and immediate treatment was necessary. Seeing this scene, Jacob's face turned unhappy. He shouted at Aiden, "Aiden, do you dare to ignore me?" Aiden still paid no attention to Jacob. He rapidly used the Nine Turns Golden Needle on Maple's body. "Seeking death!" Jacob's body turned into a streak of light, shooting towards Aiden. His palm viciously aimed for the back of Aiden's head. A palm from a Peak Sun Level expert could shatter even solid granite. If it landed on someone's head, the result would be like what happened to Jadyn, exploding into a mist of blood. Facing Jacob's powerful strike, Aiden seemed as if he hadn't seen it. He continued to focus on healing Maple. "Aiden, be careful!" William couldn't help but shout at Aiden. Boom! Jacob's palm struck down with a deafening sound. The entire hall seemed to tremble. However, the palm did not hit Aiden. Instead, it stopped a few inches from Aiden's body. No, it was blocked by an invisible wall of Qi! "Qi Protective Cover!" Seeing this, an expression of disbelief appeared on Jacob's face. Qi Protective Cover was a technique possessed only by martial arts masters. Once deployed, it was nearly impenetrable. Aiden was, unexpectedly, a martial arts master! Was this a joke? Jacob, at twenty-eight years old, had reached Peak Sun Level and was hailed by Azure War God as a rare genius seen once in a century. Azure War God even asserted that Jacob could enter the realm of a martial arts master before the age of thirty. Although this talent was far from those super-geniuses in the hidden clans. It was already considered a ceiling-level for ordinary families in the secular world. However, at this moment, he discovered that Aiden was a martial arts master! Considering what Jackson had said, Aiden was only in his early twenties! This was impossible! Jacob's body recoiled several steps backward, his eyes filled with fear. Despite his cultivation reaching Peak Sun Level, he knew that the difference in combat power between a Sun Level martial artist and a martial arts master was like night and day. It was possible that even with all his might, he couldn't break through Aiden's Qi Protective Cover. Soon, Aiden finished his treatment. The broken spine of Maple had been mended, and with some rest, she would be as good as new. "William, take them away. The upcoming scene is not suitable for your eyes," Aiden said in an indifferent tone. "Aiden, can you handle this alone?" William asked with some concern. After all, Jacob was the disciple of the War God. Aiden didn't answer but glanced over everyone from the Xu family, including Jacob. He then calmly said, "You can start running now." "You can start running now." What an arrogant statement. Aiden was prepared to unleash a massacre. Since the people from the Xu family dared to harm Xandra; they should be ready to face death.
