The Villain Saves The Male Lead

Ren had successfully sowed discord among the criminal group. Enticed by his offer of gathering up all the money for the hostages, several members of the kidnapping group clamoured with the leader, asking to let Ren contact his secretary and get the money.

Ren watched the kidnappers argue among themselves with amusement, and the kidnapped youngsters watched Ren with admiration. Even though CEO Ren was tied up and in the same situation as them, he was still so cool and confident!

"Big Brother, you're awesome!" Wade said reverently.

"Truly," the princess said. "I shall ask my father to reward you greatly if we are able to escape this predicament, CEO Ren."

Ren shrugged carelessly. "No need," he replied. "I'm just here to pick up my little brother. Everything else is incidental."

The princess smiled. "You must be trying to deliberately project yourself as a villain despite your heroic deeds to save yourself from garnering unnecessary adoration, CEO Ren," she said mildly.

Ren smirked. This princess seemed to be sharper than he'd expected.

The princess eyed him eagerly. "I've heard that you're very devoted to your partner. I have seen the advertisements you did for the Dragon Nation and Sand Country - they were very attractive...both you and Fang are very good looking," she murmured. "It's a pity you're already committed to each other..."

Ren rolled his eyes mentally. He didn't deny her words, and simply replied, "I'm very fortunate to have Fang in my life."

"He appears to be very dedicated to you as well," the princess told him. "I saw him at the museum earlier, and he slipped away as soon as he saw that I was interested in him. That's quite rare."

Ren narrowed his eyes, irritation pooling in his golden gaze. "I would take the liberty of advising your highness to stay out of our relationship," he warned.

The leader of the kidnappers, who happened to hear Ren speak, walked over with a broad grin and clapped Ren on the shoulder.

"You're good, bro!" he exclaimed. "Daring to speak to a royal princess like this!"

Ren smirked in response.

Wade, on the other hand, was quite nervous. "Your highness, please don't take offence at my Big Brother's words!" he said hurriedly. "He just loves Fang very much..."

The princess raised an eyebrow. "I'm now quite interested in CEO Ren as well," she said.

"Thanks but no thanks," Ren said flatly.

"Big Brother, don't offend the princess!" Wade hissed.

Ren smiled at the protagonist little brother who seemed to be really concerned about him.

"I've offended far more powerful people than a little princess," Ren told Wade. "Don't worry about it."

The princess frowned, but didn't say anything.

The criminal leader laughed. "Every dragon has its inverse scale," he said sagely.

"Leader, should we ask CEO Ren's secretary to bring over this Fang fellow as well? Since CEO Ren cherishes him so much, he'll surely pay us enough to last our whole lives for him!" one of the minions spoke up.

Ren laughed evilly. "You can try," he said, his voice dripping ice. His golden eyes glowed menacingly, and the criminal who had just spoken stepped back in fright.

Even the teenagers next to Ren felt intimidated.

"Very impressive," the leader muttered. "CEO Ren, if you're ever interested in a life of crime, I'd love to have you in our group...and your power will be second only to mine!"

Never in either of his lives had a criminal group tried to recruit him, Ren thought to himself, amused. He wondered how Fang and Pax and the others would react when he told them!

"Thanks but no thanks," Ren gave him the same response as he'd given to the princess earlier.

The leader opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a loud explosion.

"We're under attack, leader!" a minion came running from the outside.

"Who dares attack us?!" another minion cried.

"It's the Blue Wolves!" the first one replied.

The leader cursed. "Why on earth are they..." he stopped and looked at Ren. "You! It is you, isn't it?! How on earth did you get the Blue Wolves involved?!"

Ren smirked. "I have my ways," he said smugly.

"You!!" the leader roared angrily and grabbed Ren's collar. "Since you set the Blue Wolves on us, don't blame me for being rough!"

He dragged Ren out, pointing a gun at his head.

The masked Blue Wolves, led by Wolf, were right outside. They all stopped as soon as they saw Ren being held hostage.

"Drop your weapons and surrender right now, or I'll shoot CEO Ren's brains out!" the leader yelled.

Wolf looked at Ren.

Ren sighed. "No need to stop on my account," he said.

"Aren't you afraid to die?!" the leader roared.

"I'm not going to die," Ren said mildly. "I can't say the same about you, though."

While the attention of most of the criminals was fixed on Ren and the Blue Wolves fighting outside, several masked figures, led by Pax, sneaked into the warehouse and rescued the school children.

With the teenagers safely out of the way, Wolf nodded at Ren.

In an instant, the ropes binding Ren's arms fell away and Ren executed a perfect kick, snatching the gun from the leader's hand and knocking him to the ground in one fluid movement.

Ren's fighting talent was not even a small fraction of Fang's or Wolf's and he wasn't even interested in combat, but that didn't mean that he couldn't fight at all. For these low level criminals, he was more than enough.

Wolf grinned proudly as he watched Ren fight with fluid and efficient movements. This was the clean fighting style of someone who not only disliked fighting, but also hated touching or being by people at large, and it had been especially designed by Wolf for Ren

Ten minutes later, every member of the criminal group had been captured and tied up.. Wolf had them thrown into a truck and personally delivered them to the police chief.
