“Could it be that they’re not opening the door for us because those guys told the guard keepers about
you fighting? What if they’re people from the station waiting for us outside?” Moira asked Jacob
concernedly.
Jacob looked at Moira’s worried expression and replied with an explainable smile on his face, “Aren’t
you thinking too far? But…” An icy look crossed his eyes, and he continued after looking in the direction
they came from, “I’m not sure if there is anyone from the station waiting outside, but inside…”
Jacob was cut off by a soft breeze blowing through the bamboo forest. The leaves flew to the ground,
and at the same time, a shadow flew in with the wind.
Moira widened her eyes, and she almost let out a scream when she saw the translucent figure.
Keysha noticed Moira’s actions and looked to where she was looking at. Although she was shocked at
the unmoving figure within the trees, she held her daughter closer to her as a sign of protectiveness.

“Uh-hoh, don’t be alarmed, pretty lady, I’m not a bad person.” A flirtatious voice answered, followed by
a tall man with bright eyes stepping two steps forward.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Jacob asked pointedly.
“Yeah,” the young man replied with a laugh, “My name’s Flint, Flint Young, and I’m a security guard at
Dixy Land.”
Security guard? Moira and Keysha were skeptical.
“And?” Jacob raised one of his eyebrows.
Flint pointed at the fawn and said with a smile, “That’s the property of Dixy Land, you can’t take it
away.”
Jacob looked at the fawn beside him then at his daughter, who was visibly nervous after hearing that.
“I’ll buy it.” Jacob told Flint with a smile on his lips as well.
“It’s not a matter of buying it or not. My supervisors have said that they can’t allow you to take it away.”
Flint said with a shrug.
“Ha! You’re just scared we’ll expose your dirty secrets by bringing this fawn out!” Moira stuck her chest
out and said defiantly.
Keysha shook her head at that statement and gave Moira a look.
Flint spread his hands out, “I don’t care if you expose the secrets or not, I will definitely not allow you to
take this fawn out. But…” He gave Jacob a look, his eyes glimmering, and continued, “I’ve heard about
you. Do you fight?”
Fight? Jacob’s expression turned frosty. Just because he knows some flash steps, he’s talking about
fights? What a child.
Jacob could feel the life force leaving the fawn in his arms. He did not want to disappoint his daughter.
He turned around and looked at the fence that was blocking the exit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAm I being ignored? Flint thought. He was aghast by Jacob’s actions. He blinked and then bent his
knees slightly; his blood began to thrum heavily through his veins.
Then suddenly, with a gust of wind, he flew through the sky with leaves blowing around him and landed
in front of Jacob.
“You can go, but the fawn must stay!” Flint said with a soft voice but reached out with his right hand to
grab hold of one of the fawn’s hind legs. In an instant, Jacob took a quick step backward and evaded
his advances.
“What?” Flint was surprised by how swift Jacob’s actions were. He swung his arm, and lightning
flashed in the distance.
Jacob stood right in front of his daughter with no space to retreat. His eyes were slanted, but there was
something that flashed in his eyes.
