Chapter 21 - Rescue

They were about to reach the exit still yet no one has made any move. This made Arther worried as if he exited from here he will not be able to re-enter. So he decided to ask Robert to bring Jack to meet him outside the market as he knew that the warehouse used by Jack to keep all the materials must also be outside the black market.

He messaged Robert hurriedly to meet on the opposite side of the building to avoid being tracked by someone. After that, he switched off the tab and continued following. After some time they reached the end of the black market near the Steel door.

At the same time outside the passage on the third underground, there were few people standing alert waiting for someone to leave the passage. They seemed to already know when to be ready. They were sent by the young man to capture Jaya and the middle-aged man. Of course, the young man was not a fool to pay such a huge price just for catching some unknown people for a small stone.

After leaving the auction his father has asked him to use any reason and way to catch these people as they have huge value..

Hence he has paid a price to buy this person along with some time from the police and black market security.

As soon as Jaya and her bodyguard left the passage they were met with this scene and soon after them many other people also left the passage trapping them in between. Arther didn't leave the passage as he knew it was not yet the time to act. He wanted to see what these people are capable of doing to protect themselves.

And just as he thought the middle-aged person made his move."Looks like we have attracted many eyes for a small stone, how about we return the stone to one of you. But to whom?"

"Hahaha, you don't have to waste time using these small tricks as we are here for that stone, we have a better proposal for you. Both of you surrender and we will keep you alive or else you know very well what will happen with you. So please don't make it difficult for us." a man with a bald head, black skin, bulging muscles. Grinned at him while talking.

All others surrounding them also laughed at them as if the situation was already in their hands.

Two of the guys from behind moved forward to catch Jaya and her bodyguard, just as they were about to reach out for her Jaya made her move, four small throwing knives flew out of her robes and injured those two people along with two standing behind them. This reduced the number of people standing behind them, before anyone could react the middle-aged man made his move too, with a swift move he defeated two standing in the front, making a small opening in the encirclement, they moved out of the encirclement and ran towards the exit. The remaining attackers also followed behind them. Arther waited for a while before following closely.

They ran till they reached an alley away from the building, the alley was closed from one side. After entering the alley Jaya stopped running and faced the attackers. The atmosphere between them was in stalemate. But the middle-aged man was a bit worried now as he had found that the number of those followers and attackers has increased this showed that there were more people waiting for them and the city was not safe for them.

What he was most worried about was Jaya, if anyone knew about her identity then many strong people will move their attention here, and according to what situation their clan is now being ready to face he can't let anyone know about their motive for coming here and have to take Jaya from here as soon as possible.

Slowly the alley entrance got filled with many people with rods and machetes and other weapons used in street fights. These people were surely not well trained and were common gangsters but this type of people had high experience in such fights. And Jaya and he didn't know about this city and place to hide very well.

At the same time when Jaya was in a dire situation, Arther was standing on the terrace of one of the buildings at the end of the alley. Seeing them enter the alley and the crowd at the entrance he knew that the alley had one end closed and he can't enter through the same entrance, so he came here from where he can keep eyes on everything and everyone and can also save those two guys, but they will have to pay the price of this rescue with the stone. He will try to negotiate with them if not possible he will wait for them to lose to these people before stealing the stone. He has heard the attackers talk before and knew they were definitely not interested in the stone.

"Now where are you going to run?, hahaha, I have already warned you not to make it difficult for us but now wasting our time we will surely enjoy a bit before taking you with us.", the same bald guy talked. He seemed to be the leader of all these people.

"Keep the robed one safe and you can break some bones from that middle-aged guy.", he ordered his people before running towards the middle-aged man.

Jaya was worried hearing and seeing the situation they never knew they will fall into this situation, but know there was no other way to escape.

Just as she was going to fight along with her bodyguard something fell on her from above, she looked up to find a young boy's shadow reflected by the moon behind him, standing on the terrace of the building, the thing that fell on her was a rope.

"If you want to you can accept my help but it comes with a price.", an immature voice reverberated into the alley. Though immature it contained an authoritative atmosphere that can make anyone surrender. With a mature tone.

"What do you want??", this was the first time Jaya spoke from the time Arther has seen her. The sweet female voice surprised her but he soon stabilized.

"That stone."

Hearing this reply Jaya didn't have a surprised expression but a satisfied smile as if she has found something she was searching for for a long time.

"Of course you can", she grinned as she called the middle-aged man to come back and climbed the rope.

The gangsters didn't have time to react a few seconds before the middle-aged man fought with them and defeated many of them and then a boy came and rescued those whom they wanted to kidnap. This made them angry, since the lockdown they have been very happy as doing many crimes has become very easy for them now.

For now, these people will not be of much threat to the government hence they are not caught since all strong people are busy somewhere else but after the apocalypse this type of people will become the most dreaded type of survivors.
