Chapter 240 - SENIOR BROTHER (2/2)
Hu Lei could not handle this ridiculous person.
”Kaito, why are you here?” She asked directly.
The man smiled as he walked closer to her. ”I am here to kill you.”
”Really?” She asked, not taking him seriously.
”Not really, but you would be surprised how many bounty lists you are still on.” He laughed. ”If I go broke, you will be my emergency fund.”
”So, why are you really here?”
”I am here to capture you.”
This time, Hu Lei asked a follow-up question. ”Why?”
”I want you to join my Shadow Brotherhood. You know that we can rule the world if we join forces.”
Hu Lei was surprised. ”I thought you wanted to give me up to that organisation which has a bounty on my capture.”
”You have a low opinion of me.” There a sad sigh.
Actually, Hu Lei knew that he would not give her up to those people. Even though he was an unreliable trickster, he would not give her up to be tortured. He did things that would benefit him through some questionable means, but he had a somewhat stable bottom line.
”You know that I am no longer in that type of business. I am a housewife who writes novels and shops in my free time.” She responded.
Kaito was exasperated by this response even though he had done some research on his former schoolmate and knew her words were technically true. He had always followed her whereabouts until she had mysteriously disappeared. At first, he had ȧssumed that she had gone underground to hide after offending some powerful people.
It was not an uncommon thing for them.
However, when she had appeared again in Supreme City and at the top of bounty lists, he had realised that maybe, things were not as simple as he had thought. After all, he knew most of the organisations that had listings for capture or ȧssassinations.
The group which had put out the order was somewhat well-known because they often hired mercenaries to traffic people for them occasionally. They had also ordered a few abductions of some doctors a couple of times.
However, they had always been low profile and did not stand out. When he had seen Hu Lei's name and picture at the top of the list with a high reward and the order was by that low-key group, he had felt something was shady. Therefore, he had decided to see the matter for himself.
He looked at Hu Lei who seemed indifferent in spite of the aggressive capture order on her.
Had she moved on completely from the underworld?
