Chapter 77 - Death Is Very Easy (1/2)
Loyalty is often forsaken for greed. And greed is often born from ignorance. The biggest greed of a man is money and money has a tendency to make you a blind person. After all, money is love and love is blind. And love gets you killed.
Xu Mey's head hung low. Everyone saw her shoulders shaking. The guy with the gun smirked under his mask in victory taking it as a sign of her weakness. But the smug look was frozen the moment he heard her laugh.
Hanging her head backwards, the girl in complete white formal suit laughed delightfully. Her laugh was soft but pleasing to hear. With her black hair contrasting her white suit, she was the personification of a charming goddess. All of the people present couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
But the daze broke all of sudden when she stopped laughing and closed her eyes. A thick savage aura sheathed her like encasing a fierce blade. There was pin-drop silence in the warehouse. No one even dared to breathe loudly.
Her eyes steadily opened like an Agapanthus flower emerging from its cocoon. But unlike Agapanthus flower which literally means love flower, there was no love or beauty in her dark orbs. There was only a sinister look. Her face was extremely solemn as if the earlier laugh was just an illusion.
The masked man with the gun was taken aback by her look. But he stubbornly held his ground. "Boss might be scared of you. But I can finish you off with just a bullet." He spoke with an air of gloating.
He barely managed to put his index finger on the trigger when abruptly a Quill Spike went through his hand making him wail in pain as the gun dropped with a thud. Xu Mey's movements were so nimble that nobody caught it when she pulled the spike from under her sleeve and threw it with perfect precision. Her aim was so perfect that the spike managed to pierce his hand and went across it.
The man fell on his knees holding his hand which still had the spike in it with heart-wrenching wails. The four men behind Xu Mey took a step ahead intending to hold him but Xu Mey's hand gesture halted their action. "You guys don't have to deal with him. The spike was laced with poison." Everyone's eyes widened at her statement. "John!" She called one of her men as he moved to her side. "Just put something in his mouth. He's too noisy."
The Qilin Group's people gulped looking at her serene expression. "Oh, and get that spike back. It's expensive." She smiled innocently at the end making everyone's already widened eyes to turn into saucers.
Whether she was being frugal or savage was unknown. The tall man, John pulled off the mask of the wailing man and stuffed his mouth with his own mask. Then he pulled the spike out brutally making him roll on the floor with pain as the blood gushed out like a fountain. John cleaned the blood off of the spike before presenting to Xu Mey.
"Is he going to die?" She heard Wanye's voice transmitted from the phone which was still connected. She held the Quill Spike in her hand rubbing her finger on its sleek threadlike body.
