"You can believe whatever you want," said Bai iyue. Her gaze was calm as she stared at the man lying on the ground, like she watched people dying in front of her every now and then. "I am not as unkind to counter a dying man’s words."
Spinning around on her feet, she walked out of the mansion. Behind her, Liu Che and ng Qibao glanced at the leader of the thugs, who seed to be close to dying and followed her out. The man didn’t even have any strength left in him to speak. How was he going to attack them?
The leader of the thugs watched as they walked out on him. Even though Bai iyue didn’t say anything, the leader of the thugs was so angry that he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Contradict him? Heh, did that woman an to say that she could have killed him no matter how he attacked her?
Bang! The man lifted his fist and punched the ground. That punch took all of his strength, and his head dropped heavily on the ground. With one last glare, his bloodshot eyes lost their light. He was no longer breathing.
Bai iyue paused upon hearing the soft thump. She turned and looked at the scene and shook her head slightly. Yu Miaomiao was really willing to spend effort and ti on her. She even sent second and third-level ability users as spies. And these fools were also tactless and stupid, since they had such an ability, why did they bother to ruin her instead of creating a safe base for themselves? That would have worked better.
The safe base that she created was not built by her alone, but by the people around her as well. But she had never taken any kind of shortcuts. She had worked hard, and she had done everything in her power to make sure that the people around her would be able to live a good life. However, these n wanted to take shortcuts, which led to the chaos in the present.
"Are you done hiding?" Bai iyue asked the man who was peeking through the corner. She turned and took a look at him and wasn’t even surprised when she saw another level-three ability user. Yu Miaomiao had not left any stone unturned to deal with her. Who would have thought that she would send so many ability users to take down Bai iyue?
"You—"
Liu Che made a violent move towards the man, who raised his hands in the air in surrender. He stamred, "Please... please... don’t kill . I didn’t an to... look, I never joined them in killing you. I....I think life is good here. I ... I wanted to stay here from the beginning, but I was scared ... I never thought about killing you."
Perhaps he was speaking the truth. Maybe these people didn’t have any intention of killing her from the beginning. After all, they were sent here to take her child away from her. Yu Miaomiao just wanted to grab hold of Xiao Cai such that she would be able to manipulate her and Lei Qian. If she died, what was the point of these people coming here? That would just beat the end goal of their plan. If she died, who would Yu Miaomiao control?
But Bai iyue had no intention of letting this man off. He indeed didn’t attack her just now, but not because he didn’t want to, but because he was sly enough to see who was winning. A man like this was more vicious than a poisonous snake. He even abandoned his own colleagues and the people with whom he ca here, just for the sake of saving his own life. Why would she allow soone like him to linger in the shadows when she knew what he was capable of doing?
Anyway, for Bai iyue, killing one person or killing countless people was the sa for her. Just for the sake of restraining her and Lei Qian, these people could be this cruel to her and her child. How could she allow this man to survive? Maybe next ti, when he saw that Yu Miaomiao was in a position much stronger than her, he would betray her as well?
So, Bai iyue shook her head and took two steps toward the man whose hands were raised in the air. She said to him softly, "How am I supposed to trust you? Maybe you will turn around and betray just like how you betrayed your companions. They ca and fought bravely, even for all the wrong reasons; they were brave enough to stand against . But you stayed behind, acting sly. Do you think I don’t understand why you were hiding here?"
"No...No..Noo."
That man shook his head and said ’no’ three tis. However, how could Bai iyue leave him? She smiled and raised her hand.
The next second, the eyes of the man widened, and the last thought that he had in his head was how soone like Bai iyue, who looked like a white lotus, would be so poisonous. He saw the look in the eyes of the n behind her, and they seed close to letting him go. Then, why didn’t she let him go? How could this woman be so ruthless? She didn’t have an ounce of rcy in her eyes and heart.
Bai iyue glanced at the man whose eyes were filled with disbelief and clicked her tongue. She didn’t want to kill anyone today, but this man just had to create trouble for no reason with her. She turned to look at Liu Che, who seed shocked by the proceedings of her actions, and said to him, "Go and arrange for soone to clean up these bodies and ask the research team to hurry up. I believe it won’t take long for the nanobugs to start causing trouble in the safe base."
Liu Che nodded without asking her why she killed the man, even when he wanted to surrender, and that satisfied Bai iyue. She liked smart people, and from the attitude of these two n, it seed like they understood one thing clearly: never question your leader. And if you question your leader, don’t follow them.
