36 Using Leaves to Hurt People

“Little sister, don’t talk nonsense!” A handsome young man beside her said, his expression changing slightly.

“Isn’t the Preston team usually very powerful?” The girl criticized. “Why are you guys not doing a good job now?”

“Who is she?” Steve Xavier suppressed his anger.

The members of the Preston team had their own bottom line. Their duty was to protect ordinary people, not to kill.

The squad leader’s expression was unsightly. “Her name is Estelle Lockers, the granddaughter of the famous doctor in the Central Plains, Elder Lockers. We ran into her on her trip this time in the mountains to pick herbs. If it wasn’t for Luca protecting her, she would have been eaten by that beast long ago, and Luca wouldn’t have been injured so easily!

After a brief introduction.

“Hello, Team Leader Xavier,” the handsome young man said politely. “My little sister is insensible. I’m sorry for the trouble!”

“We’re not causing any trouble. The special operations team exists to protect us. They’re usually so arrogant, but now they’re all so scared. Cowards!”

The girl, Estelle Lockers, was obviously used to being pampered.

Regardless of the occasion, she actually spoke like this.

The squad leader and his seven members clenched their sword, anger flashing in their eyes.

If they were afraid, they would not have joined the Preston team, and they would not have risked their lives here knowing that it was a dangerous mission.

Every member of the Preston team was prepared to die in battle.

However, they knew that they were no match for the enemy, so why should they take the risk and sacrifice themselves in vain?

“Does the Preston team owe you anything?” Steve glanced at her coldly.

His words meant that Steve was furious.

In order to protect her, Luca had been seriously injured by that beast, and in the end, he was being humiliated by her.

Why should Luca and the others bear the grievances of blood and tears!

“There’s a hundred-year-old herb in your basket,” Braydon Neal said.

With this indifferent sentence, everyone’s eyes fell on the small pouch on Estelle’s waist.

In the modern industrial society, it was increasingly difficult to find an old herb in the wild, especially one that was more than a hundred years old. It grew by drinking sweet dew and absorbing the light of the sun and moon.

One hundred years was the limit, or they would wither and die, giving birth to seeds and sprouting seedlings.

Or grow into an old medicine!

In the eyes of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was a qualitative change in one’s body, a change in the medicinal effects of the body, and the absorption of the essence of the sun and moon.

Such a medicine could revive the dead!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.

Estelle said warily, “What do you want to do?” I was the one who found this!”

Braydon looked at her with his deep eyes and was silent for a long time.

Luca had protected her and was heavily injured by the attack. His wound was bleeding non-stop, and she had turned around to humiliate the Preston team, which was the same as humiliating Luca!

This was a problem of family upbringing.

She had life-saving medicine on her, yet she hid it and did not make a sound, coldly watching Luca endure the pain.

This person was a little too selfish!

Did she really think that everyone owed her?

“Get lost!” Braydon said with his hands behind his back.

One word revealed Braydon’s cold attitude. For such a girl, she was not worth protecting!

Because she was a girl, she felt that she was the most important person in the world and should be protected.

Did she think that everyone in this world owed her?

Who do you think you are?” Estelle said angrily. “Who are you to tell me to get lost!”

“If you think we’re useless, you can leave on your own!” The squad leader was bandaging Luca’s wound as he replied silently.

Estelle was starting to panic a little.

She was not stupid. She knew that if she left these people’s protection, she would definitely be targeted by the beast.

At that time, Estelle would die without a doubt.

“You guys have to protect me!” she shouted.

Steve was furious. He had never seen a girl who could be so shameless.

Moreover, she was a selfish person!

Braydon had already expressed his stance.

“The Preston team’s mission this time is to kill the beast, not to protect you. Please leave on your own!” Steve said indifferently.

Whoosh!

The members all drew their sabers, their eyes cold and murderous.

Anyone who got in the way of the Preston team’s work would be killed without mercy!

The few people in front of him were obstacles. If it were not for them, Luca would not have been injured to this extent.

“You’re ruthless,” Estelle said viciously. “When I see Grandfather, I’ll definitely ask him to teach you a lesson!”

“Elder Lockers has been a doctor for many years. It’s an insult to his family to have a descendant like you!” Steve said indifferently.

“Her grandfather is Simon Lockers?” Braydon frowned.

Steve nodded slightly. The reputation of the Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, Simon Lockers, was well-known throughout the country.

Estelle glanced at him arrogantly. “Are you afraid now? if you don’t protect me well, watch how my grandfather will deal with you!”

“Simon Lockers is just a nobody. He isn’t someone worth my time!” Braydon did not make a move.

That was because if he released his aura, the beast would definitely be scared away.

The instincts of wild beasts were dozens of times more sensitive than humans. Once they sensed any danger, they would enter the forest, making it difficult to find them.

The wild beasts that grew up in the forest were best at hiding.

Estelle had never been so embarrassed in being driven away. She hated Steve and Braydon.

After walking for just twenty meters, Estelle was scared.

“Second Brother, are we being followed?” she asked in a trembling voice.

“I feel it too! That thing has its eyes on us!” A freckled teenager’s face was filled with fear.

“It’s all your fault, Estelle. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been chased out!” he cried out in despair.

“What right do they have to blame me? With their mediocre skills, we can still leave without their protection!”

Estelle turned around and left in anger.

However, the next second after she turned around, the big tree in front of her shook violently, and the leaves fell. A black leopard without any stray hair appeared!

It was walking without a sound, and its body was light, steady, and powerful. Its pair of beastly eyes was staring at Estelle coldly.

Or rather, the thing that the black panther was staring at was that medicine pouch!

Estelle had taken something she should not have.

The black panther revealed its sharp fangs and slowly approached, intimidating everyone.

“Save me!” Estelle shouted in fear.

However, the three people behind her were pale, and their legs were weak.

This was a normal reaction for ordinary people.

Not far away, the squad leader clenched his sharp sword. “Team leader, should we take action?”

Before Steve could speak, Braydon said indifferently, “I’ll do it!”

“You?” The squad leader’s eyes were filled with suspicion.

Braydon’s age made him feel that he was a little unreliable.

The black panther’s speed had clearly reached the warrior level, and no warrior of the same level could do anything to it.

However, Braydon said that he would do it. Could it be that his strength had reached the warrior level?

Out of all the young people in Preston, only six were recorded as martial artists. None of them had reached the warrior level.

The team leader was familiar with the information, but Steve, the team leader, did not say anything, so he had to be patient.

The black panther was less than 10 meters away from Estelle. If it were to go on a rampage and kill someone, it would be done in an instant.

By then, it would be too late to save her!

The black panther finally chose to make its move. It exerted force on its hind legs and leaped, turning into a black shadow and pouncing straight at her.

“Ah!” Estelle screamed and fainted.

The black panther pushed her to the ground, opened its mouth, and bit her snow-white shoulder blade with its sharp fangs, trying to break her carotid artery.

“Oh, no!” The squad leader’s expression changed.

But with a flick of Braydon’s finger, a leaf floated up from the ground, and his slender fingers gently caught it.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, the green leaf burst forth violently.
