He then looked at Ayana, who suddenly looked away with a red face, making one wonder if her face was red because of having exerted almost all her energy in fighting off Laynar or because of something else.

Viktor crouched and inspected her injuries and saw that there were no serious injuries as expected.

"How...How are you here?" Ayana asked in a low voice as she meekly looked at him, still a bit shaken by seeing him crush Laynar's balls like that.

"Obviously, I followed my little rabbit. I saw how she was being followed by an evil hyena. How could I let him take advantage of you?" Viktor asked as he parted the strand of hair falling over her forehead to the side, making Ayana's cheeks even rosier as she lowered her eyes, wondering why her face was getting so hot.

"T-Thank you...I don't know how to repay you.." Ayana said wholeheartedly since she didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if Viktor was not here. Her Master was also busy with her preparations to be anywhere near her.

Viktor had already witnessed such scenarios hundreds of times. He gently raised her chin and said with a smile, "If you really want to repay me...how about you pay me with your body? Don't worry. I can be quite generous."

"Shameless! You are evil!" Ayana swatted off his hand with pursed lips, wondering if she was thanking the devil before. However, she knew Viktor was kidding though how could he joke about something shameless like this?

"B-But you will be in trouble now...his father won't accept what happened to him...Why did you go that far?" Ayana was worried about what the first chief would do now the moment he learned of what happened to his son.

"Obviously because he tried to hurt you. He tried to violate you, so I did him the favor of not letting him commit any such sins in the future. He should be thanking me," Viktor said with a straight gaze as he gently rubbed off the streak of blood near her lips, making Ayana's heart skip a beat, not expecting Viktor to punish Laynar like this for her sake.

But if Laynar had heard what Viktor just said, he might die from even more anger.

"Come, let's go. If we stay here any longer, his men will come sniffing," Viktor said as he got up and offered his hand for her to use as support to get up.

Ayana slowly nodded as she raised her hand and held his as Viktor pulled her up. But since her leg was injured, she stumbled and fell on Viktor's chest, making her startle like a startled cat.

She felt that it was shameless to embrace her Master's man even though it felt strangely comfortable. So she tried to separate herself from him but...

"Relax...I will carry you since your leg is injured. Hmm...I will have to carry him as well. He can't wake up till my engagement ceremony finishes.." Viktor said with a contemplative expression as he looked at the unconscious Laynar.

Ayana was confused by his words and asked, "You want to take him away? But what are you planning to do with him? The moment he wakes up, he will report everything to his father...Wait a minute...Is that why you want to take him away and...kill him? Don't do that! Killing someone here without any official orders would result in grave punishment...even for you. Your marriage with my Master might get affected as well if the first chief makes a big issue out of this. In fact, the situation is already bad now considering what happened to him..."

Viktor's expression didn't change as he said with a slight smile, "Who said I am going to kill him? In fact, I want him alive so that others can know of his 'evil' deeds and get punished accordingly. But only after my engagement ceremony is over. I can't have any other trouble before that."

"But won't his father report him missing if you take him away now?" Ayana asked in worry.

Viktor shook his head as he said, "Nah...that will only expose his son's deeds faster and raise a lot of other questions which he surely wouldn't be willing to answer. Come...lie on my shoulder."

"What?" Ayana became confused, but suddenly Viktor lifted her up, startling her, and found herself being made to lie over Viktor's broad right shoulder with her legs dangling near his chest while her arms were dangling on his back.

"Hey! Put me down! Put me down! I will fall!" Ayana felt her heart tensing up when she didn't like how she was balancing over his shoulder. She felt like if Viktor made a sharp turn, she might fall off.

"Relax. I will hold you," Viktor casually said as he held onto her to reassure her but surprisingly, his hands landed upon something soft and bouncy.

"Viktor.." A low suppressed voice came from Ayana, whose face became beet red from embarrassment and anger, thinking that he purposefully groped her buttocks.

"Oops, sorry! Habit...I mean, it was accidental!" Viktor swiftly moved his hand upwards and asked, "You are good now, right? Hold on tight!"

Ayana let out a petulant hum as acknowledgment while Viktor picked up Laynar and let him hang on his hand by clutching the back of his robes.

Ayana felt it embarrassing to get carried like some dead animal on a hunter's shoulder, but she knew now there was no other choice.

Ayana wondered how Viktor was going to get out of here while carrying both of them since if somebody saw him, they would be done for.

However, she was surprised when Viktor suddenly leaped upwards and found herself shooting upwards, away from the ground at an insane speed.

'He can leap this high??' Ayana was flabbergasted as she saw how Viktor was casually jumping over the roofs of the buildings while covering a large distance with each jump, spending some time in the air.
