(Part 2)
Hearing the narration from the old-man Lim Bun who was desperate and about to commit suicide, Hwe-thian Moli became very angry. A pair of her black, good-looked eyebrows wrinkled and both of her eyes emitted a shining light.
“Damned bast*rd!” while biting her lips so fiercely she cursed, then she asked the old man, “Lim-lopek, doess the case of pawning girls like this often happens?”
Lim Bun sighed, “After asking several people, it is true that there were many girls pawned just like the granddaughter, Siauw Kim. But who dares to fight Santung-taihiap Siong Tat who, besides being rich, is also high-skilled ini martial-art, and he seems to be protected by the local authority?”
“God damn it! I’m the one who dares to fight him, lopek. Don’t worry! You just go home calmly now and wait. Today I will bring your granddaughter Siauw Kim back home!" after saying that, Hwe-thian Moli Nyo Siang Lan then reached into her shirt-pocket and gave the old man a few pieces of silver money.
Lim Bun accepted the gift with great gratitude, but he was still doubtful whether this beautiful young girl would be able to face Siong Tat. “Lihiap,” he said with a moved voice, “You are so kind but brave. But you are only alone while Siong Tat has so many hencemen. If you get harmed in their cruel hands, won’t it just increase my sins?”
“You don’t need to think about it, lopek. Believe me I can. Even if necessary, I’ll kill all the henchmen of the damned-bast*rd. As for the power-house, will get the consequence of his conduct!” Before the old man could say anything, the girl’s body flashed and disappeared before his eyes.
Of course Lim Bun felt very surprised, he could not believe what he had just seen. Was be dreaming? Of course not because the piece of silver money was still in his hand. Maybe she was not a human but a goddess, he thought. The old man then knelt down and for a few moments his mouth muttered to prayer to deliver thanks.
With a heart full of fire, Siang Lan used her skill of running fast into Kang-leng City. It’s easy for her to get information of where the pawnhouse owned by Siong-wangwe was. After finding a large pawnhouse guarded by five big tall people, she immediately walked in with wide steps. The guards looked at her with a grinning smile as the usual playboy seeing beautiful women.
“Ouch, sweet girl!” exclaimed one of the youngest, smiling, “Are you going to pawn something? If you need money, let me just give you the loan. Come on, come with me to my home, huh?
Hearing this greeting, the anger in Siang Lan’s chest was overflowing. She stopped her step then looked at the five guards with threatening eyes yet smiled mouth.
“I really want to pawn something in this pawnhouse.”
“Pawn of what, miss?” the guard asked, stepping forward, “Be careful, don’t let you be seen by Siong-wangwe, you better go with me and all your needs will be fulfilled. Come on, sweet girl. Come on …” the guard’s hand was impertinently stretched towards her to hold her arm.
“You’re the one I want to pawn!” suddenly Siang Lan moved her hand and before the playboy guard could dodge, he had been hit by a thiam-hwat from Siang Lan. Because of being so sick, Siang Lan had hit him with such strong strength that the guard collapsed stiffly and glared-eyes.
As for the other four guards, seeing a friend of theirs was knocked down by a beautiful girl, became shocked and immediately rushed over to catch Siang Lan. They still looked down at her and did not use any weapons, only relying on their hands to catch her. However, as soon as Siang Lan’s body moved and her feet reacted, the four guards’ bodies were thrown back and forth following by horrified shouts. They slammed down without being able to wake up again.
This event occurred at the gate of the pawnhouse near the highway so that many people could witness it clearly. The people were astonished seeing how a beautiful young girl dared to berserk and disrupt the Siong-wangwe’s pawnhouse, even now it had knocked down five guards who were usually feared enough and more fierce than the five guarded-dogs. This was very people-interesting and not for a long time there were already many people crowding the place.
However, Siang Lan ignored all the people, he then bend over and grabbed the playboy-guard’s hair, then dragged him into the pawnhouse. Some people become increasingly interested and encouraged themselves to come in to see what would happen next.
The young girl dragged the guard’s body to the front of the desk of the pawnhouse employee was standing up from his chair and looking wide-eyed.
“Who are you and what is the purpose of your arrival?” asked the employee with a numb heart. He had seen that the one dragged in was a guard, but of course he did not dare to reprimand because he was just a clerk of pawning letter.
Siang Lan laughed contemptuously when she heard this question.
“Are you blind? I came here to pawn a human. This is it!” he then grabbed the guard’s hair whose his body stiffed and glared-eyes, raised and thrown the body onto a large table in front of the employee.
Of course the employee turned pale in fear, his body shivered. He was horrified to see the guard’s eyes glaring and his body stiff like a statue.
“No … no … here doesn’t accept pawning any humans …” he stammered.
“Ah, don’t accept, huh? What about the old-man Lim’s daughter named Siauw Kim, isn’t she a human too? Watch out, don’t you play games!" Siang Lan snapped, "Hurry up wrote the letter immediately! I ask for this rotten guarantee to be valued at one hundred thousand tail of gold!”
The employee stared and his face grew paler. He understood that this dashing girl would intentionally come to make a fuss, because of that he became completely awry. He looked at his friends who had gathered behind him and said to them, “Why are you just stay silent? This lihiap wants to pawn a human and ask for one hundred thousand. When do we have that much money? Where are Tang-kauwsu and Li-kauwsu? Harry up to report to Siong-wangwe to bring the money here!”
Siang Lan knew that this man was about to ask for reinforcements, but she did not care and even shouted, “Hurry up! Write the letter immediately!”
The employee became more frightened and uneasy, but seeing his friends run back, he became relieved because soon the reinforcements would certainly come. He forced his mouth to smile and replied, “Please be patient for a moment, little lady. We are dealing with a large number of money. Isn’t it better for you to have a seat first? This … this one you want to pawn … is too big … ” he pointed at the body of the guard across the table.
“Too big, huh?” Siang Lan suddenly pulled out her sword so that the beam of sharp sword sparkled in the eyes. With a slight movement of her sword to the guard’s head, broke the ear of the playboy guard and Hwe-thian Moli then threw the body onto the floor. He pointed towards the earlobe which was now on the table and said.
“Well, I let you accept only the earlobe, so it’s much smaller and easier to be stored.”
The employee became even more frightened and everyone who watched this quietly felt shocked as well. This girl really came to make a fuss, they thought with heart pounding. Indeed, Kang-leng’s residents had long suffered under Siong Tat’s cruelty and henchmen, and now seeing a dashing girl intentionally came to screw up in this pawnshop, of course they were very interested and secretly sided to this girl.
