Chapter 252
Jackson, who was only 12 years old, acted much calmer and more mature than he should be in the face of such a dangerous situation.
He quickly thought about who would send those people to kill him.
Before he could come up with an answer, those men in black rushed over fiercely.
Jackson had learned a lot of self-defense skills, so he could still resist a part of their attacks.
But he was still just a 12-year-old boy.
His opponents were a group of tall and well-trained adults.
They even had iron rods in their hands.
Jackson gradually lost his strength. Suddenly, someone hit his back.
Jackson frowned.
A sharp pain made him unable to stay stable. He knelt on one knee.
Then he got hit again.
Jackson gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound, but he had already fallen to the ground.
The iron rods, fists, and feet all landed on his body.
Jackson closed his eyes. A trace of anger and despair flashed in his eyes.
Those men thought he was about to die, so one of them said in his ear with a smile, "It's better to kill him. Then Mr. Claude Bane and Jonas Bane can live an easier life afterward." Hearing this, Jackson suddenly clenched his fists.
His nerves also got tense.
His expression turned cold.
He thought, 'So it's them.
'My two illegitimate brothers!
'Why?
"They've already been favored and valued by Father. Why do they still want to kill me this abandoned son?
'I'm always indifferent and never fight with them for anything. I have never hurt any of them, but they want to kill me!
Blood gushed out of Jackson's mouth.
He started to lose his consciousness.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came over.
Jackson didn't hear it clearly. He thought it was his hallucination

In fact, someone did come
A little girl rushed over from nowhere. She reached out her hand and blocked an iron rod that was about to hit Jackson bravely. "Who the hell are you? Damn it! Beat her up!"
Although the little girl blocked the rod with her hand, she couldn't protect her back and then got hit.
The rod hit her body and made a dull sound.
Jackson couldn't help opening his eyes.
Then he looked straight into the little girl's eyes.
It was Cece.
"Jackson, run!" Although Cece got hit, she had no intention of running away. Instead, she rushed forward and held a man in black.
That man couldn't move for a moment.
"Run!" Cece naively wanted to stop the man by herself and buy Jackson some time to run away.
However, there were a bunch of them around.
-Stopping one of them was useless.
The man who was held by Cece narrowed his eyes and tried to push her away irritably.
Then Cece fell to the ground.
Her face was still dirty, and her starry eyes were still bright.
Jackson felt heartbroken.
"Cece..." He propped his upper body and called her name for the first time.
His eyes were filled with distress.
But those men had already hit Cece. Cece covered her head with her hands and shouted, "I've already called someone. You'll be caught if you don't leave immediately!" Those men thought she was just bluffing and didn't take her words seriously.
They continued to beat her.
Cece finally couldn't help crying out in pain.
Her voice struck Jackson's heart and made him hold his breath for a second.
He rushed forward and held Cece in his arms.
Suddenly, a group of villagers rushed over, along with some security guards of the resort.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
They shouted and waved the tools in their hands.

Those men in black knew that they had already been exposed.
This couldn't get big, so they immediately stopped and ran away since the situation was not good for them.
Only Jackson and Cece were left there.

"How do you two feel? Go to the clinic to see the doctor." Seeing that they couldn't catch up with those men, the villagers and security guards rushed to the two kids and asked with concern. Jackson was still holding Cece in his arms as if he were holding a beloved toy. He held her tightly and refused to let go of
her.
He pursed his lips and shook his head. "I'm fine."
Jackson looked at Cece in his arms with distress and regret in his deep and beautiful eyes. "But she..."
"I'm fine." Cece suddenly raised her head and smiled as if nothing had happened. Her eyes were still as bright as stars.
Although she said so, Jackson still noticed a bruise on her hand.
Jackson's eyes flickered. He felt as if there was a clear and soft wind blowing through his heart.
"Cece..." Jackson subconsciously called her name like sighing.
After saying goodbye to those villagers, Jackson grabbed Cece and was about to go back to the hotel.
"Did you call those people here just now?" Jackson grabbed Cece's hand tight and asked gently.
That path was so remote that people would hardly notice it.
Unless someone told them about it.
Cece directly nodded. "Yes. I told them that I had called someone, but they didn't believe me."
Cece smiled after saying that.
She seemed to be quite optimistic.
Jackson thought, 'What happened just now was horrible, but she still smiled and came to help me without hesitation."
Jackson tightened his grip on her soft palm.
They went back to the hotel.
Jackson wanted to check on Yvonne first.
She was in a bad mood. Even at the resort, she still couldn't relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Most of the time, she liked to stay in the hotel room alone.
Jackson knocked on the door.
No one responded.
Cece blinked and seemed to be a little confused.
Jackson knocked again.
Again, no one responded.

Then he directly pushed the door open.
"What are you doing here?" Yvonne's irritable and sharp voice suddenly sounded.
Her eyes were lowered and red, and her expression looked so sullen.
"I was looking for you just now, but you weren't there." Yvonne was like a sensitive and fragile girl at the moment. She felt depressed when something didn't go well. "Where have you been? Are you gonna abandon your mom?"
