Lie Xunjue was absolutely livid. Although that strike on his back didn't actually hurt—it was more like an itch—he absolutely despised anyone attacking him from behind.
He spun around abruptly.
Standing behind him was a small figure, holding a big baseball bat with both little hands, their eyes burning with fury.
However, as soon as their gaze locked with his, that fury began to fade, gradually replaced by sheer terror.
"Let go of my mommy!"
He raised the baseball bat, summoning all his courage to make a stand.
To Xiao Bai, Lie Xunjue was like a towering iron fortress, so he had to muster every ounce of bravery he had.
Lie Xunjue released Ye Huanyan and walked toward Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai, clutching the baseball bat tightly, kept backing away.
Ye Huanyan quickly stepped in to stop him. "Don't take it personally with a kid; he didn't mean it."
"Mommy, I'm not afraid of him!"
Xiao Bai refused to back down and continued to puff up his courage.
