My Perfect Hero's

Chapter 24. Grief

Quinn is in the heart. This place is starting to feel bad. Quinn glanced towards Uncle Zet and Aunt Su. The two of them accompanied the village head Master Yu with their heads bowed. Quinn knew that the citizens did not find any solution for now.

"Do we have to contact Mr Dimitri again? At least their ship might not be far away!" A citizen has good advice. But it was seen that the village chief Mr. Yu took a deep breath.

"They've been gone since noon. With that expensive ship is it possible that Mr Dimitri is still around this island?" The village chief Tuan Yu massaged his head. Very dizzy because he had to think about the fate of his village now.

"Could we all die?" ask a woman with a child in her arms. "I just gave birth to her." Both of the women's eyes looked teary.

"No! We're not all going to die!" Quinn involuntarily shouted. Now everyone there was staring at Quinn. He did not like to see the despair of the villagers. "I'll protect you."

The villagers frowned looking at Quinn. They almost forgot Quinn all along.

"You're the woman that Su found?" ask the village chief Tuan Yu.

"Hey, kid! You better not talk nonsense! You're just an outsider! Know what you are?" snapped at a man of strong stature.

Quinn's eagle eyes were fixed on the wounds on the father's body. Quinn then circulated his eyes around him. There are still a lot of teenage boys here. Same with the middle-aged men.

"Quinn, you better go home first. I'll catch up with you later. Don't make trouble." Aunt Su whispered to Quinn. He didn't want Quinn to make trouble there and he couldn't afford to defend her later. However, Quinn still remained silent in his place.

"Is there anything here besides this father that can do martial arts?" Quinn asked as he pointed at the fathers who were reprimanding him earlier. "I know, you must know about sharp weapons."

"He's Heizen. Why, Miss asked that?" reply Village Chief Tuan Yu.

"I can defend myself. Looking at Mr. Heizen's injuries, it seemed like he fought a lot. If we gather strength and fight together, we can still have a chance!" Quinn Strictly.

"A chance? It does. But what do we have? We don't have anything, Miss!" snapped Uncle Zet.

"Didn't I ask you before about who has martial skills? We can still try" Quinn said. "Sharp weapons we can still make. Five days is a short time. But nothing is impossible."

"Shut up! A kid like you wants to plan a strategy? Can what are you? Who knows you're just bullshit. You're the new guy on the island. Do you think the pirates who are coming have no weapons? Don't just because you learn martial arts you can brag about it, miss. It's the lives of many people!" Heizen glared his eyes at Quinn.

The man intimidated Quinn. But Quinn grinned. Heizen gets angry. Heizen felt Quinn was mocking him.

"As a new person don't you think you talk too much nonsense? There is no way a woman can have martial arts. Are you looking for face here, miss?" Uncle Zet showed a dislike face to Quinn.

Seeing the debate getting heated up, Aunt Su walked over to Quinn. Aunt Su held Quinn's arm. The woman looked very worried about Quinn.

"Quinn, already. Don't make everything angry" Aunt Su whispered.

"Why do Uncle Heizen and Uncle Zet look angry? I'm just arguing. What if we would die in vain without a fight at all? They're not just gonna slaughter us. But also stepping on the pride of this village!" reply Quinn.

"Hey! Watch your talk, boy! Who do you think you are? You better .…" Heizen stopped his words when Quinn's one leg was right in front of Heizen's eyes.

Quinn's movements were very sharp even though he was just about to kick. But Aunt Su who was near Heizen and Quinn could feel how Quinn's footwork created a wind that seemed to jolt her face.

"Yes God! What was that?" ask Aunt Su inwardly.

"Heizen, don't act. Miss, looking at your smooth and fast movements it seems like you have been practicing martial arts for a long time. Can you tell me who you are?" asked Village Chief Tuan Yu.

Quinn pulled her leg back again. Now he looked at the village chief. "I'm Quinn. I have been practicing martial arts since I was 8 years old. I'm an archery expert. If here we can find poison, maybe you could say I'm good at using sharp weapons that have been covered in poison."

"Heizen, how many here are martial capable people?" ask the village chief Tuan Yu.

"Maybe 10 people" Heizen replied.

"What do you think, Miss? Do you have any advice?" This time the village chief Master Yu asked Quinn.

Quinn nodded. 10 that's a small amount. But it's much better than just being quiet. "We don't know how many enemies. But if we have the power and the strategy maybe we have a chance to win. Rather than us not trying and ending up dying in vain, aren't we at least fighting together until the end? The chance to live will be much greater" Quinn said.

Suddenly silent atmosphere. The village chief, Mr. Yu, sat back down. Heizen and Uncle Zet. The silent atmosphere was also gripping. No one speaks anymore. Maybe they all knew that the village chief was thinking.

"alright. Who would want to follow Miss Quinn's opinion? We'll devise a plan rather than die in vain. You can think about it again. But, you must remember. We were born and raised in this village. I'm returning all these decisions to you!" Village chief Yu gave the decision to his citizens to decide.

"Anu, I was born in this village. I love the place that raised me. Looks like I'm going to go with Miss Quinn's plan. I'd be so ashamed if I could only get away. He was a new person but wanted to fight for this village. As for me, it feels so shameful to run away." A teenage boy argued.

"I'll be with Miss Quinn too!"

"Yes, I'll come too!"

"Hey! The more people who come along, the greater the chance of us winning, right?"

"Everyone, let's fight together!" Uncle Zet was excited. It seems he was thinking carefully about his decision.

"Quinn, thank you!" Aunt Su was moved by Quinn's courage. They will face off against the pirates. But Quinn was not afraid at all.

"The girl, she seemed to have lived together with her martial arts. From that one move alone, I'm sure he has learned a lot or has even fought life and death, "inner village chief Tuan Yu.

"I'm glad you're willing to accept my opinion. I'll also make a poison cure. Who knows, the enemy also uses poison. We must remain vigilant and vigilant under all circumstances" Quinn said.

"Yes! Right!"

"Five more days! I will fight between life and death!" quinn in the heart.
