Chapter 140 - Who Sent You? (1/2)

Ariana raised her brow as she positioned herself in a fighting posture. With her brass knuckles on her right hand and a sharp blade in the other, she was prepared for the upcoming war. The straight face that the man in front of her had had broke into laughter as he waved his palm for a pause.

”Ahahahaha, long time no see, Ariana. Can't believe you're still this fierce. Didn't I give you the advice to quit being as fierce as a tiger when you two got married? I gave you the most memorable wedding gift.” The man took out a hand mirror and fixed his fringe.

”Hah, Alexander Enu, I'm surprised that your leader didn't slice that tongue of yours and drink your blood already. If locking my husband up on our wedding day and almost making him your leader's dinner is equivalent to a gift, then perhaps your dry corpse would be one to your boss.”

She squinted as hatred filled her eyes, ”talk. Who sent you here?”

”What? Can't this old friend visit you? You're as cruel as you always were. I was just dropping by.” He cracked both sides of his neck as he stepped closer to her. Instinctively, she stepped backwards.

”Hah? Who's your friend? Don't say that it's a pure coincidence for you to appear at a hospital and somehow found this room. Visit? Drop by? Bullshit.” She looked around to search for any shelves or objects that she could move to block the door.

Her inner thoughts were all red alerts. 'Shit. Even if Chen Nan is here with me, we could still lose to this asshole! What to do...' As her eyes wandered around the dark hallway, she noticed some trays on a nearby cart. Although it was dark, she could still see the name on the anesthesia container label using the light that shone through the windows.

'Susu's...right. I remember there were some unused ones prepared for emergency use. The nurse must have forgotten about it or something...if I could use that...' She quickly concentrated back on him.

Even though he had a decent face, his narcissism was way too much. He raised his palm once again to doublecheck his hair and then his lips to make sure everything was moisturized and neat. Ariana rolled her eyes as she grew closer to the cart.

”Why think of using the anesthesia for? You know that wouldn't work on me. Did you think that I would miss the obvious expression on your face and the way you were staring at that cart? It's useless, so hand the girl over.”

”Over my dead body.” She replied and threw sharp blades aiming at his eyes. His fingers clipped the blades and avoided the attack. After tossing the blades to the floor, he rubbed his cheeks, ”so brutal! What if those blades cut my beautiful face?”

”Shameless!” she rushed towards him with her metallic spike designed brass knuckles. Once she reached close enough, the edge of the spikes flicked out and targeted his arm.

”Woahh~ Sharp weapons are not for kids to play with. Especially the spikes that you have modified on. It might cut yourself instead. Did you already forget who taught you this trick? Haha” She could feel every strand of her hair raise in alert mode as she backed away from him. It was then that she realized the blades and spikes on her brass knuckles have been removed.

”You-...”

”Looking for these?” He spread the blades out like a fan and gave himself a manicure with it.

A smirk formed on her face as she watched him use the blades like a professional. 'Heh...he took the bait.' she thought to herself as she blocked the entrance to Susu's room.

”So? Where is she? Behind that door?” His voice echoed wickedly in the hall and triggered her inner fears. Her body trembled at the sight of him approaching.
