The leader of the Blackwing Gang stared at Dan as if he was some kind of a retard. His pale complexion, his slightly trembling figure and his faintly shining Qi indicated that he was severely injured, how dare he declare this right in front of us?

His men's expression turned red in anger, withdrawing their bows, they aimed at him. 'Hmmph! Even without stepping into that circle, we can still deal with you.' Exerting their strength, three arrows flew towards Dan's vital organs but the latter deflected it with his dagger before retaliating with his gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three gunshots echoed and the men who shot the arrow fell on the ground, the leader who realized how strong his weapon was staggered backward before saying, "Don't stay in one location, make sure that he can't predict your movements or we'll fall under his strange weapon!"

The remaining men looked horrified and they quickly encircled them while moving in an erratic pattern. However, Dan that had the System and was thoroughly angered quickly dispatched them in successive shots.

In the face of Modern Weaponry that could travel in supersonic speeds after being reinforced by Dan, only barriers which protected them from all sides could possibly protect them from his bullets.

The leader who was the only man standing after Dan's retaliation quickly said with a pale expression,"Young man, you must not burn your bridges after using them, you already dispatched all of my men so can you be kind enough to let me go?"

His words rang loud and clear but Dan who was physically exhausted and mentally irritated pretended to not hear his words as he sent another volley of bullets at his direction.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Numerous shouts of metal clashing against metal rang out. The leader stared at his chipped treasured sword and couldn't help but tremble in anger and shame. This weapon that accompanied him for decades withstood innumerable killings of his enemies but under this brat's attack, it finally succumbed and turned into scrap.

Seeing that Dan didn't have the intention of letting him off, the leader's eyes reddened and he shouted, "Since you're not willing to let me go, I'll bring you both to hell with me!"

Activating his Divine Arts, a roar of a tiger echoed inside the forest as the man rushed at Dan's direction. But contrary to his expectations, Dan calmly waited for his arrival.

But as soon as he stepped into that circle, cold lights flew from Dan's dagger as a searing hot pain stretched through her neck. Even his hand that he used in protecting his neck got severed by the sharpness and ruthlessness of Dan's attack.

He collapsed on the ground, regretting the fact that they even pursued the beauty filled with thorns.

Dan's expression looked lifeless. Upon seeing the death of his enemy, Dan turned to look at Charlotte, but his blood-drenched figure along with his deadpan expression frightened the young woman.

Stretching his hand out, Dan cupped her chin with both of his hands and stared right into her eyes, Charlotte closed her eyes, fear taking over her soul, she gritted her teeth, hoping that Dan wouldn't be so rough in doing her, but when she realized that nothing happened after several seconds passed. She opened her eyes and saw Dan painstakingly opening his mouth as he said,

"I'm too exhausted right now..."

"So please..."

"Please use that transformation technique of yours and pretend to be a man..."

Dan left these words before his body fell on her chest. Charlotte shrieked for a moment but she still carried him at the nearby tree trunk. Making sure that he's comfortable, she stared at the heaps of corpses around her and decided that this place would surely attract beasts thanks to the smell of blood that constantly lingered in the air.

Carrying Dan on her back, she could hear her bones complaining as she gritted her teeth and carried him at the river. There, she smirked to herself, "Since you previously took advantage of my body by giving me a bath, I'll also do the same..." She thought about how funny would Dan's reaction be when he realized that she just stripped him naked and gave him a bath, like a baby.

Taking off his clothes, her expression reddened when she arrived at his lower body. But still, she thought about Dan's embarrassed reaction and it gave her the motivation to continue as she pulled down.

A grotesque object sprung striking her nose, "Uweeh? What is this? This looks too ugly..." Having no idea about the intricacies of relationships between men and women due to her living a cultured and sheltered life, she curiously stared at his lower body and said,

"Isn't this the place where babies pee? Wait, could it be that..." Her expression froze in realization, but she still curiously poked at its reddened tip, "How strange...It's squishy yet it's hard and it looks like it's in pain..." She mused, but she soon frowned after taking a breath of Dan's manly smell.

Standing up, she dragged him inside the river and made sure that he wouldn't be swept by the currents as she waited until all the blood on his body, disappeared.

She also cleaned his clothes with the river water and Dan who didn't realize that he was molested by the young woman subconsciously frowned when he felt the sensation of coldness on his body.

Later in the afternoon, Charlotte managed to acquire some mushrooms and vegetables that looked like what Dan had collected yesterday. Crushing it into small fragments, she mixed it into the water and slowly fed Dan, making sure that he wouldn't choke.

After this meal, Charlotte finally remembered the 'dying words' that Dan left to him and even when she had her doubts, she still followed what he said since he looked very serious when saying it.

Poof!

A small sound echoed and Charlotte's figure transformed into a dignified man whose expression looked like he was on his mid-twenties. However, despite the fact that his face and physique had changed, her expression remained tender and gentle as she cozily snuggled up Dan's arms where she felt the most secure.

The next day, Charlotte opened her eyes and found a group of men staring at their location with disgusted looks on their faces.
