Chapter 579 PROBLEM WITH HIS PERSONALITY
Jayden never thought that he would find Apple in such a scenario. In his mind, he concluded that now Apple would be in pain, injured, having fallen from a horse.
Or maybe the worst case scenario was that the assassins were after Apple and now the woman was in their captivity.
However, what Jayden had now in front of him was far from what he had imagined and it made him unable to decide whether to laugh or cry when he saw what was happening.
"Come and hold me, I want to get away from this man," Apple said again because Jayden didn't move from his place at all. The man just stood there stunned, staring at her. "No need to worry, I have disarmed him, he is not dangerous," Apple said proudly. She even said that she was injured very lightly, as if it was not a big problem.
Apple thought Jayden didn't come to her right away because he was being careful, wary if this man had a gun he was hiding.
And when you think about it, given their current situation, with dozens of guns pointed at the foreign man, there was certainly nothing for Jayden to worry about, right?
"Come here, come here," whined Apple, because Jayden didn't move toward her.
It was only after a while that Jayden and his two bodyguards came over to Apple and the stranger. The two men under Jayden's command pointed their guns straight at the man's head while Jayden pulled Apple off the man's back.
If this guy thought of doing something funny, then the two guards wouldn't hesitate to shoot him on the spot.
"Give me the knife," Jayden said as he took the knife from Apple's hand which she used to hold the man holding herself hostage, while a gun was tightly pressed against the man's temple.
Once he made a single suspicious move, it was certain that his head would be blown off, although perhaps Apple wouldn't be happy to have someone's head explode right before her eyes.
"I sprained my leg," Apple said in a low voice, after handing the knife in her hand to Jayden.
"Come here, I'll carry you," Jayden said as he slowly picked up Apple and walked away from the man.
"Mr. Tordoff, let me carry her," said one of Jayden's bodyguards who approached him and was about to take Apple from Jayden's hands, but of course this was unacceptable to Jayden.
Instead of rejecting him, Jayden looked at him very fiercely, as if he would kill him if another man touched his woman.
The bodyguard immediately backed away and lowered his head.
Even though it was only for a short moment, it was certain that it made him feel his heart stop beating for a second. The look Jayden Tordoff gave him was so deadly, and he was at a loss for words.
Just at that moment, the second bodyguard came up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"What exactly did you have in mind when suggesting such a thing?" asked the other guard.
"Mr. Tordoff's foot was injured, so I thought about helping him," he answered honestly.
But the other man just shook his head and clicked his tongue impatiently. "You are so innocent. Men in the Tordoff family, especially those in high positions like Jayden Tordoff, were very possessive of their women. He won't let you touch his woman. You're lucky to only get a deadly glare from him."
==========================
The wound on Jayden's leg was excruciatingly painful and the pain seemed to kill him every time he took a step, especially with Apple in his arms.
It was just that, despite the excruciating pain, he wasn't willing to give Apple to anyone. He would continue to look after this girl and would not let her out of his sight again.
This girl was now hurt and Jayden felt very guilty because he felt it happened because he was incompetent in taking care of her.
That was why Jayden looked so aggressive when he carried Apple back to their room with a family doctor following behind.
Even Ramon couldn't say anything when his son was in this mood while Hailee fell silent.
It was rare to see Jayden angry. He didn't often get in this mood, but once he was really angry, then no one would dare to take him lightly, including his parents.
"Stay here," Jayden said as he lowered Apple onto the bed and allowed the doctor to examine her wounds.
"Your leg is injured." Apple pointed at Jayden's injured leg and realized it wasn't a minor cut, as blood was already seeping out of the white gauze wrapped around his ankle.
"It's okay," Jayden replied softly. He lowered his body and kissed Apple's forehead. "I'll leave you here with my mom, okay. I'll be gone for a while," said Jayden.
Apple nodded when she heard this. There was something about Jayden that made her feel that this man was in a very bad mood and it would be best for Apple to take his word for it.
After all, by and large, Apple could imagine what Jayden would do once he got out of this room.
"Okay," replied Apple.
Then, Jayden stepped out of the room and walked over to his mother who was standing at the door.
"Mom, I need your help," Jayden said, but Hailee already knew what her son wanted and what she had to do.
"Just go and take care of your business." Hailee patted Jayden on the shoulder and stepped into the room, toward Apple who was undergoing a check up by the doctor there.
Meanwhile, Jayden walked toward his father and at a single glance, Ramon could understand what his son wanted and followed him out of the room.
======================
If there was a very unpleasant place to visit, you could be sure that that place was this room.
Because at this moment, the smell of blood was so overpowering and sobering, not to mention the terrifying sight before their eyes now.
Even men who could be said to have grown accustomed to seeing blood and grievous wounds, still had to squint and frown every time a shrill, painful sound echoed through the room.
In the center of the room, the two men whom they had arrested this afternoon for the attempted murder of Jayden, were now curled up. One of the men's bodies was undergoing convulsions, where he saw with his own eyes how a white lion was tearing his legs. Blood scattered on the floor and walls, and also all over his body. It was his blood and it was his legs.
He knew that he would die once he was caught, but he didn't expect that these Tordoffs would give him a death like this.
At this point, the man was shouting for them to just kill him straight away. There was no need to make him go through all this, especially when the white tiger was now aiming for his right hand.
And once again, a roar of pain could be heard in the room as the tiger ripped apart the man's hand.
There were only two people in the room who didn't seem to have any reaction at all, as if the two of them couldn't discern how terrifying the scene before them was, namely Ramon and Jayden. Both father and son seemed to have gone numb.
The two men who were suffering right now wouldn't have thought that Jayden and Ramon were men full of affection.
Even Misha was only frowning as the man's blood stained his new shoes.
"We've told everything we know! We aren't hiding any more information! Please understand!" exclaimed the man who still had a complete body. Seeing his friend still alive even after the tiger mutilated him so badly, made him nauseous.
It didn't matter how greatly trained you were or how mentally strong you were, but once you were made to see this, you would know that all the practice was in vain. Everyone had their own limits and what he saw and how tortured they were, of course, was far beyond their limits.
The poor man who was being mauled by the white tiger was the same man who had targeted Apple and carried her in the forest earlier.
Not only Apple, a few minutes later they also found Oscar. The horse was sitting quietly, despite suffering a gunshot wound to his hip, but now, he was all right.
"FORGIVE US! WE'VE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW! RELEASE US!" cried the man in fear as the white tiger turned its attention to him instead.
Jayden tilted his head, his sharp and angry eyes stared at the man who was pleading with fear in front of him.
Then, without taking his eyes off the man, Jayden took the gun from Misha's hand and shot right between his eyes.
"Ah, I thought you'd let him go," Misha mumbled, because that was what Jayden promised to get the man to speak.
"Really? I don't remember saying that," Jayden said lightly as he returned the gun to Misha's hand, after which he walked away.
"Uncle, don't you suspect that Jayden has two personalities??" Misha asked when Jayden was out of the room.
Ramon glanced at Misha next to him and answered lightly. "It's okay, he can assume whatever personality he wants." Ramon then patted Misha on the back. "Fix this."
Hearing that, Misha could only facepalm himself and do what his uncle told him to do.
