Chapter 665 Mad Reaper (2/2)

”Change into that then meet me in my office.”

Liu Shan held heaviness on his eyelids. He sighs inside and holding the clothes she had picked out, he drags his feet to his office to change.

Yue Ling had only taken a step inside her office when she suddenly remembers something. Walking back out, she enters the same room she was in seconds ago and grabs a shirt.

She heads to Liu Shan office but stops outside the door and knocks.

”Liu Shan, I forgot to give you another item.”

”Ah, okay. Come in.”

Getting the approval, Yue Ling doesn't think much and opens the door. However, she was frozen in place when she saw that Liu Shan was shirtless.

His physique was not on par with Lu Tian's, but it was mature and has the right amount of muscles from daily exercise.

Her face held a dumbfounded expression and she throws the shirt in her hand at him.

”Wear this under.”

She doesn't say anymore and leaves the room before slamming it shut.

”…”

Liu Shan stood with his back to the door and head turned to the side. His eyes were heavier than ever as the shirt, she threw at him just had to land on his head.

He lifts his hand and moves it as he scoffs a sarcastic chuckle.

”Sheesh, how rude.”

He didn't see her reaction, but hearing her tone, she didn't have to exaggerate. It's not like this is the first time she's seen him shirtless. In the past, he would often get injure and she was the one who applied medicine for him.

Yue Ling frantically crosses the threshold of her office and closes the door. She strides over to her desk and plops down in her chair.

”Han Yue Ling, you have committed a sin.”

Even if Liu Shan is her assistant, Lu Tian will never forgive her if he were to know that she saw a man half-naked.

She massages her head and brushes all thoughts of what just happened aside. Taking a deep breath, she focuses her attention on her work.

However, as she tries to distract her mind, the image of Liu Shan's back cross her mind again.

To be more meticulous, the tattoo on his back.

Her entire being couldn't help but turn soft as a heart-rendering wave washes inside her. She leans back on her chair with a sigh.

Every time she sees that tattoo, she is always reminded of the old Liu Shan.

As one should know, out of all her subordinates, Liu Shan is the only one who has trouble when it comes to marksmanship. However, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, he overshadows everyone.

That is because when he joined her in Fate, he would often participate in underground fights with those of the underworld. Each fight would be brutal and life-threatening, but he said it was his way of curing his broken heart and any stress on his mind.

After winning his third fight, he decided to get a tattoo. He chose the dragon and tiger as each beast represents yin and yang. It also demonstrates the need for balance and it is a reminder for him to not be overpowered by the side of him that thirst for blood during fights.

As once he was in the cage, he would turn into a bloodthirsty monster and that was also how he obtained the nickname Mad Reaper.

A name that many in the underworld fear, but also a name that is hardly heard. Not because no one knows of it, but because he made sure all traces of Mad Reaper disappeared when Fate left the underworld.

*Knock knock

A knock sounds at the door and interrupts Yue Ling's thoughts. She looks at the person entering and a very faint smile curls on her lip.

She is glad that Liu Shan, who just had his heartbroken, did not go back to his old ways.
