Sayana's expression froze with nervousness when she saw all these scary boys approaching them with weapons.
Viktor got up and asked candidly, "Can I help you guys?" He was wondering where this guy had been for the past two months. But considering how the rumors about Jason being gay had been traveling around for a while, he could understand why this guy laid low till he developed enough thick skin to come out.
"Dorian, careful. I don't think they are here for your help," Sayana whispered as she pulled him back after getting up.
Jason's lips curved into a sinister smile as he said, "Of course…you can help by having your legs and arms broken by me."
"But why?" Viktor asked with a confused expression, making Shawn chuckle, "Haha, look at this goofy idiot. Is he for real?"
"Hahaha," The rest four also laughed together with him while looking at Dorian with expressions of ridicule.
"No. He has a right to know why before ending up in the hospital. It's the least we can do as his seniors," Jason said in a mocking tone and then continued as he looked at Dorian with a dark expression, "You ruined my night that day and my chances with one of the hottest girls in town. Who told you to poke your nose into my business? Or is it that you have a thing for her, hmm? Were you afraid I would take your girl, hehe?"
Even though he was laughing on the outside, on the inside, Jason couldn't be more angry and frustrated, especially because of the rumors about him circulating in the town and even appearing in yellow newspapers!
He still couldn't understand why he kissed Shawn and why he even accepted his kiss in the first place. He truly felt like a ghost possessed him but didn't know where to direct all this anger and frustration. But then he remembered Dorian for constantly provoking him during that night and stopping him from getting close to Tiana.
So he decided to teach him a lesson and make him understand what it was like to cross him.
Sayana clenched her fists, seeing how they were looking down on Dorian, and said as she stepped before Dorian and raised her hands, "Stop! He didn't do anything wrong. Please don't cause trouble for him for nothing."
Viktor wasn't surprised, but he was impressed to see Sayana standing up for him before all these senior boys despite how he could sense the anxiety and tension in her breathing.
Clearly, she didn't want to get involved with them, but she was doing so for him.
"Oooh, look at this. This loser already got a girlfriend, hahaha," Jason chuckled while inwardly feeling jealous since, upon a second look, this girl was quite cute and exotic looking, especially her pale green eyes.
Sayana didn't even bother to correct them since she knew talking to these people was useless. Even if she was confident of beating them up, beating up Jason Ken was a whole different thing, especially because of his status, and she was afraid if she might cause trouble for her benefactor, Taya, and inconvenience her mother in the process as well.
Shawn was even more jealous since he had a thing for Sayana from the moment he first met her. Her shy and reticent nature provoked certain passionate feelings inside him, and seeing such a girl defend a guy like Dorian was enough to make even a blind man realize that this girl had feelings for him. This only made him feel even more bitter towards Dorian.
"Hmph, he has no balls. Hiding behind a girl," But suddenly Shawn got a sinister idea in his head and said as he looked at Sayana, "Well, we won't touch him as long as you come with us. Just for a small talk with your seniors, of course. We promise to let him go, right, Jason?"
Jason looked at him, and the two exchanged a knowing glance as he nodded, "Of course. It is only right that we offer a second chance for our junior as long as his girlfriend is willing to cooperate."
"No! Don't bully Saya!"
Sayana was taken aback in astonishment when she saw Dorian rushing forward with a war cry while pushing her back, making her feel flutters in her belly.
She could feel the nervousness in his voice and how obvious it was that he was forcing himself to be brave as he charged forward.
"Look at this loser, haha!" Jason chuckled as he swung his bat to strike at Dorian, but he caught his hand and pushed him away, making him lose his balance and fall onto the three men behind.
"You motherfucker!" Shawn didn't expect Jason to get taken by surprise like that and raised his bat to strike his head, but before it could even reach Dorian's head, a dainty hand suddenly caught it in mid-air, and it was none other than Sayana who joined Dorian, not wanting to let him fight alone.
She caught the bat and pushed Shawn away as she said, "Stop this! We don't want to fight you people."
"Heh, I heard the red-haired girl who stays with Tiana is kind of a martial artist. Boys, let's make use of the things we learned as well," Jason said with a smirk as he and the others knew some martial arts as well. Coming from rich families, they all had to learn these things from instructors as mandatory training.
"But don't hurt her too much. I just want to play a little game with her later," Shawn chuckled as two guys joined him to take on an anxious Sayana.
Sayana decided to quickly take these three out first and help Dorian before he lost the momentum against them. She had been training Dorian for the past two months, but still, he had a long way to go before becoming an expert, though she felt like she got better in these two months as well, somehow.
Sayana swiftly grabbed the bat of the guy who was about to strike her shoulder and kicked him back before using the bat in her hand to deflect Shawn and his friend's attack, pushing them backward.
She then was about to turn around feeling an attack incoming from behind, but…
"Saya, look out!"
Dorian quickly jumped in front of her as he hugged her and…
*THWAK!*
One of Jason's friends, who was about to strike Sayana from the back as a surprise attack, was surprised when Dorian jumped in front of him and struck his head with his bat violently to punish him for ruining his surprise attack.
"Ugh!!"
"Dorian!"
Sayana heard Dorian's painful groan and her expression became shaken when she saw a trickle of blood bleeding down his forehead while Jason and the others stopped attacking temporarily, feeling amused to see Dorian take an attack for her.
"Whoo, look at that! See how he tried to save his girl, haha! This guy just watches too many movies, hehe," Jason laughed along with the others as he clutched his tummy.
"Saya…you should run. I will take care of them…" Dorian said with a groan, though Sayana only felt her heart writhe in pain, seeing him like this.
"Alright. I had enough of this drama. Hit him again and let's deal with her," Jason said as he scratched his chin while one of his friends nodded and raised his bat high to strike at Dorian again.
But Sayana slowly looked up at the guy who was going to strike Dorian, and her eyes suddenly became stone cold as she shouted, "Don't touch him!"
*Crack!*
"ARGHH!!"
