Chapter 247 - SUAVE SENIOR BROTHER (1/2)

The two people looked at the gleeful but annoying handsome face of the intruder. Zhong Feng had a look of anger and distrust as he faced the man he believed was his greatest enemy. The one who could rob him of the happiness that he had finally grasped…

Zhong Feng had reason for his caution.​ ​

The Shadow Brotherhood was known to be ruthless but effective. They had never taken a job which they had not completed. It was the reason he had always been worried about them since the moment they had appeared in Supreme City.

He believed that he could deal with most mercenaries, but the Shadow Brotherhood was different. It had enough power to act without reservations. He did not know how to protect his beloved wife against these people who could not be swayed by simple materialism.

His concern and fear for Hu Lei made him miss the implications of the words that the smug and happy Kaito had spoken.

Hu Lei felt exasperated by the stupid man who had appeared at their home without invitation or warning. She should have expected that he would pull something like this after meeting him that time. He was probably miffed because he had to help her without benefits. And now, he was taking his revenge.

He had always been a petty man.

She looked at her husband and felt a headache coming on. Clearly, he recognised Kaito for who he was and considered him an enemy. It would be difficult to restore civility.

She cautiously pulled on the free hand which had pushed her behind him.

”Ah-Feng, it's ok.” She spoke softly.

”Do you know who he is?” He sounded angry, and his weapon did not shake as he faced the still gleeful intruder.

”Of course, she knows me.” Kaito responded with a laugh. ”We are what you would call childhood sweethearts.”

Zhong Feng frowned a little, uncertain about how to react.

”We have even shared a bed. We have always been that close.” Kaito winked lasciviously at Hu Lei who had just stepped out from behind Zhong Feng.

Hu Lei's face darkened in anger as she looked at Kaito. ”What do you mean we are close and shared a bed? Hiding under my bed and stabbing me from beneath does not count as sharing a bed, you idiot!”

She turned to Zhong Feng. ”Don't listen to this fool, Ah-Feng. He has always had a sick head. We are not close. Our relationship is that of many attempted childhood ȧssassinations.”

Her eyes looked with a glint of evil darkness at Kaito. Even with her pink hair and outfit, there was a chilling quality.

Zhong Feng looked between them and lowered his gun. However, he could not help still feeling that the two people had a close relationship. It made him feel a little insecure.

Kaito was a keen man with an eagle like eye, and he was like a bloodhound when it came to detecting other people's weaknesses. He could immediately see an opening with Zhong Feng.

”Do not worry, brother-in-law.” He spoke with feigned magnanimity. ”Even though my junior sister here has those kind of thoughts towards me, I am not interested.”

Hu Lei's face became darker. With fast movements, she took out a buŧŧerfly knife and threw it with accuracy at Kaito's head.
