Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

"I know! Speed ​​up!" Su Ting's voice was filled with anxiety. He suddenly leaped up, his long sword sweeping across the area, knocking back several enemies who surrounded them.

Leah continued to maintain the defensive barrier while keeping a close eye on her surroundings. Her keen eyes caught a small detail: "Suting, Lucia, that knife-wielder seems a bit different. Be careful."

Su Ting glanced sideways and indeed found that the knife-wielding man was different from others; not only were his movements agile, but he also seemed to have mastered some special techniques. "Understood, I'll deal with him," Su Ting said in a low voice, then concentrated and launched a fierce attack on his opponent.

At the other end of the alley, Thomas's struggle with his pursuer had reached a stalemate. The pursuer was highly skilled, maintaining the upper hand even while injured. Thomas could only desperately try to defend himself, hoping to buy the little boy time to escape.

"Run! Don't look back!" Thomas shouted. The little boy nodded and ran forward with all his might. However, the pursuer was clearly unwilling to give up easily. A sudden blow forced Thomas back, and then the pursuer quickly chased after the little boy.

A resolute glint flashed in Thomas's eyes. He pulled a smoke grenade from his pocket and threw it at his pursuers. A cloud of smoke rose instantly, obscuring their vision. Using this brief cover, Thomas sprinted forward, grabbed the little boy's hand, and took off running again.

Meanwhile, Su Ting and Lucia finally dealt with most of the enemies, leaving only the peculiar knife-wielder. This enemy was clearly powerful, handling the two of them with ease.

"Hmph, a mere few people, and you're already having such a headache?" the knife-wielding man said with a sneer.

“You are indeed troublesome, but we will not lose to you.” Su Ting gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly erupted with an even stronger aura.

"Are you ready? This time, we're going to win in one fell swoop." Lucia looked at Su Ting with a determined gaze.

Su Ting nodded slightly, and the two launched their final charge simultaneously. Lucia's longsword pierced out like lightning, while Su Ting delivered a fatal blow from the side. Their coordination was impeccable; despite the swordsman's desperate resistance, he was ultimately overwhelmed by the powerful combined attack and crashed heavily to the ground.

Just then, another urgent shout came from afar, clearly indicating that Thomas had encountered new trouble.

"Oh no, we have to go help!" Lucia realized immediately.

"Go!" Su Ting led the way and rushed towards the direction from which the voice came, with Lucia close behind.

They had just turned a street corner when they saw Thomas and the little boy surrounded by a new group of men in black. These men were more advanced in equipment than the previous ones and looked much more formidable.

"Uncle Thomas, we're here!" Su Ting shouted, leaping into the battle.

Thomas's eyes lit up with hope as he saw reinforcements arrive: "Thank you, come and help me hold these people off!"

“No problem, we’ll protect you,” Lucia replied, and then fought alongside Su Ting against a new wave of enemies.

The battle resumed, the air thick with tension. Su Ting and Lucia's seamless teamwork put unprecedented pressure on the men in black. However, these enemies were not to be underestimated; every move they made was threatening.

Just as everyone was giving their all, a mysterious figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the alley, coldly observing everything. Who was this person? What changes would his arrival bring to the situation?

Su Ting caught a glimpse of the figure and his heart tightened: "Who is he?! Why is he appearing at this time?"

Just as Su Ting's vigilance was rising, the mysterious figure slowly stepped into the battlefield. His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly carrying some kind of invisible pressure, causing everyone present to unconsciously turn their gaze to him.

"Who is he?!" Thomas frowned, gripped his weapon tightly, and prepared to fight.

“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not just an enemy,” Lucia said to Su Ting in a low voice, and the two of them became alert at the same time.

The mysterious figure approached and stopped, his sharp gaze sweeping over each person engaged in combat. The air seemed to grow heavier with his arrival, as if something important was about to happen.

“My name is Adrian,” he said, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. “I’m here to help you.”

"Why are you here?" Su Ting asked, making no attempt to hide his suspicion.

“Because some things are more important than personal grudges,” Adrian replied briefly. “The forces behind these men in black are very complex, and they won’t give up easily.”

At this moment, the small group of enemies suddenly intensified their attack, attempting to break through the three's defenses. Su Ting and Lucia reacted quickly, adjusting their positions in unison and continuing to tenaciously resist the enemy's fierce assault.

Seeing this, Adrian also made his move. With a slight flick of his right hand, a strange black staff appeared in his hand. With a flash of silver light, a powerful shockwave erupted from the tip of the staff, sending the foremost enemies flying backward in all directions.

This move shocked everyone present. "This power..." Su Ting couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

After a brief exchange, the group decided to join forces to fight the remaining enemies. With Adrian joining them, the situation clearly began to turn in their favor. Although the men in black continued to put up a stubborn resistance, they were quickly put at a disadvantage thanks to the close cooperation of the three.

Just as the two sides were at an impasse, the little boy suddenly pointed to the sky: "Look over there!"

Everyone looked up and saw several faintly glowing objects appearing in the distance—drones. They quickly flew towards them, then dispersed, circling and patrolling the area.

Chapter 574 Accurate Judgment

"Oh no, enemy reinforcements have arrived!" Thomas shouted anxiously. "We must retreat immediately!"

Su Ting nodded and immediately ordered, "Everyone stay close and protect the little brother. Let's find a secluded place to hide for now."

So, after ensuring the little boy's safety, everyone quickly left the scene, disappearing behind one dark corner after another. The drones that had just arrived circled a few times, unable to capture their exact whereabouts, and eventually had to return.

After a difficult and winding journey, the four of them, along with the little boy, finally found a relatively secluded hut as a temporary shelter. Although the place was dilapidated, it was enough to provide shelter from the wind and rain, and at least gave them a chance to catch their breath for the time being.

“This place should be relatively safe for now.” Adrian put down his long staff and looked around at the simple but clean space. “However, we can’t stay here for too long. We need to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.”

The little boy held Thomas's hand tightly, his eyes filled with unease. "Uncle, what should we do next?" he asked softly.

"Don't worry, kid, you'll be fine as long as you stay with adults," Thomas reassured him, though he himself was filled with worry. "Su Ting, what do you think we should do?"

"We need more intelligence to make an accurate judgment. Right now, we only know that the other side is powerful and possesses high-tech equipment. Ordinary countermeasures may no longer be effective," Su Ting replied after a moment of contemplation.

Lucia chimed in, "In that case, why don't we have Adrian investigate this further? After all, he seems to know a lot about our current situation."

Adrian nodded: "That's right, I do have some connections to inquire about it. But before that, everyone needs to remain vigilant. Who knows when the next attack will come?"

“Alright, it’s settled then.” Su Ting made a decisive decision. “From now on, please be careful and don’t let anyone discover our whereabouts. As for you, little one…” He looked down at the boy, trying to keep his tone gentle, “Just rest here for a while, everything will be alright.”

The little boy forced a smile and nodded in understanding. It was already late, and after a fierce battle, everyone was exhausted and needed a short rest to recover. However, no one noticed that two ghostly figures had reappeared outside the door…

"Has someone come in just now?" one of them asked in a low voice.

“Hmm, the situation inside seems quite complicated…” another voice replied.

"So what do we do next?" The two people outside the door continued to talk in hushed tones, their voices sounding particularly clear in the night.

"Let's observe for now and see what's going on inside," one of them replied, then slowly peeked out from the shadows, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

Inside, several people sat around a simple wooden table. Su Ting lit a candle, its faint light illuminating everyone's faces and bringing a touch of warmth. The boy sat close to Thomas, glancing nervously towards the door every now and then.

"What kind of secret do you think these men in black are hiding?" Lucia broke the silence and asked.

“This is indeed a very important question,” Adrian said slowly, “but I can’t be completely sure yet. However, I am certain that their goal is not simply to seize control of this region.”

"Could it be that they want to gain control of this place to obtain some important resources?" Su Ting guessed.

Adrian nodded: "That's very possible. However, we'll need to investigate further to find out the specifics."

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from outside the door. Everyone immediately became alert. Su Ting quickly stood up, drew his knife from his waist, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Someone's coming. Everyone be careful."

The little boy immediately turned pale and began to tremble. Thomas quickly pulled him behind him and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Uncle is here."

Meanwhile, Adrian and Lucia were also ready for battle. Adrian lightly waved his black staff, and a flash of silver light illuminated the entire room. At that moment, the door was gently pushed open a crack, and a dark figure slipped in silently.

"Who goes there!" Su Ting shouted, raising his knife to rush forward.

The man immediately raised his hands, indicating that he meant no harm. "Wait! I'm here to help you."

Adrian squinted and examined him carefully for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "You... how did you get here?"

"Hi, Adrian, long time no see." The man smiled and took off his hat, revealing a slightly aged face. "My name is Robert, and I'm someone you can trust."

"Who is he?" Lucia couldn't help but ask, clearly puzzled by this suddenly appearing new face.

Adrian smiled slightly: "He's an old friend of mine. If he says he can help us, we'd better believe him."

“It’s a pleasure to see you all,” Robert nodded politely. “I know you’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, and I’ve also heard some things about that child.”

Su Ting asked warily, "Who exactly sent you?"

“I wasn’t assigned by anyone,” Robert answered frankly. “I just happened to find out where you were and decided to come and help. You know, in such a dangerous world, helping each other is very important.”

Hearing this, everyone relaxed their guard slightly, but remained vigilant. After all, the situation was still unclear, and any newly emerging character could bring new threats or opportunities.

“Alright, since you’re Adrian’s friend, we’ll assume you’re right,” Su Ting said. “But you also need to tell us, what exactly can you do for us?”

“First,” Robert said earnestly, “I can provide you with some very useful intelligence—about the forces behind those men in black, their plans, their weaknesses, and so on; second, I have some special equipment that can help you fight the enemy.”

“That’s great,” Lucia said excitedly. “What we need most right now is intelligence support.”

“That’s right,” Su Ting agreed. “Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.”

As they were discussing their next course of action, the little boy quietly peeked out from behind Thomas, staring at Robert with curiosity.

"Uncle, is this grandpa a good person?" the little boy asked in his childish voice.

Robert nodded: "Don't worry, kids, I'm here specifically to protect you."

Thomas patted his little head and said, "Look, with so many kind people helping us, we will definitely be able to get through this."

"That's great, now I can sleep peacefully, right?" the little boy said, yawning.

“Okay, you can rest now.” Su Ting smiled gently, then turned to Robert. “Now, please tell us about your plan.”
