Chapter 284 - KILL THE BRIDE (2/2)

Hu Lei smiled and stepped out of the room slowly. She closed the door gently, even though she suspected that everyone in the villa was already out.

And the culprit was probably watching her already.

As soon as she took a step away from the door, a small arrow came at her from somewhere at the end of the hallway. She stepped aside and the arrow whizzed past. However, she did not relax because she knew that they always came in threes.

Another arrow followed her and targeted her at the location where she was going to stand. She turned and the arrow whizzed past her again.

Her smile widened.

She did not bother looking for the person who had shot the arrows.

She had already guessed what was going on.

She went down the flight stairs and a lot of familiar faces appeared before her, waiting for her at the bottom. The group clapped loudly and whistled in cheer.

Hu Lei could not help but be touched by their appearance.

”Most people send red packets on the wedding day instead of trying to kill the bride.” She said flatly.

”What's the fun in that?” Ayumi, a tall and curvaceous beauty, spoke with a smile as she entered the room with a small crossbow on her shoulder.

”Kaito said that your skills had gotten rusty. We wanted to make sure that he was still a liar.” A tall man named Ogawa shouted.

The group of old friends laughed.

”What do you mean, a liar? I am a master of deception.” Kaito said with pride.

”All of you are here just talking, but I see none of you inviting me to a wedding. Like you, Kaitou, when will you find anyone?” An old man appeared from somewhere or nowhere.

Though they were all skilled, no one could beat the teacher in concealment.

”Teacher!” They all shouted.

He waved them away in annoyance before walking to Hu Lei. She stepped forward to meet him like a schoolgirl before a teacher.

”Don't mind these annoyances. They just wanted to come and have fun. They did not even bring a good gift.” He glanced at the group again.

They all wanted to say that they brought gifts, but they did not dare counter the old man, lest he started nagging.

He took out an intricate wooden box and opened it. Inside the box, there was a black dagger with an ornate handle. Its intricacy was something special.

”This is something I had lying around in the mountains. You probably have more use for it.” The old man said carelessly.

Hu Lei felt happy at the thoughtful gift. Even though she was not active anymore, she could not deny that she liked her knives.
