Chapter 745 For the bes (1/2)

The sky above Imperial sweep in darkness and the night was tranquil. However, inside the abandoned factory hidden in the forest was replaced with a minacious air. Any person who enters at this moment would tremble in fear and want to run away, but only one man stood unperturbed.

Liu Shan's brown eyes stare at each person in the room and he knew where he had messed up. He didn't do intentionally as it was a habit of his that he can't seem to let go of.

However, being stared at by those intense gazes like he was a prey waiting to be devoured, he heaves a long sigh.

Even if he wanted to leave at this moment, he knows that Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li won't let him. That is unless he gives them an explanation.

Knowing he is left with no other choice but to stay, he positions his body to face the three men. He casually puts his hands inside the pockets of his coat and his demeanor turns into one of carelessness.

”Why should I tell you the truth? It's not like you're going to waltz out of here and go see her.”

He spoke in a calm voice but to the three men, each word was like daggers that pierced right through their hearts.

”Whether you know or not, from what I can see, you'll still use that lame excuse you've been using.”

He may have hinted that something happened to his boss while they moved here, but will he tell them?

Of course not. It's not his place to speak and judging from the answer he was given earlier, there was no point in telling these men anything. No matter what he says, Qin Jun will never allow them to give away their position here.

Qin Jun, Kira, and Song Jing Li could only stare at the assistant in silence. Liu Shan's tone was calm, but they could hear the ridicule behind it. However, he (Liu Shan) was right. His small gesture was enough to let them know that something had happened to Yue Ling, but it was not their place to ask.

However, being the first to come back to his senses, Qin Jun stood up from his seat and his eyes darkened at the assistant.

”I asked you to tell the truth. Why are you beating around the bush?”

He knows that Liu Shan is a stubborn man at times, but so is he. If he has to force the assistant to speak, he will. Even if that meant threatening the man.

Both Kira and Song Jing Li were at a loss as their head darts to look at the man leading their group. From his (Qin Jun) tone of voice, they knew that he was being serious. They wanted to tell Liu Shan to stop beating around the bush and tell them or else face Qin Jun's wrath but held themselves back when they realized they didn't need to.

Liu Shan glance at each person until his eyes settled back on Qin Jun. He had spent many years by Yue Ling's side and as her assistant, he was always observant of others.

Like this very moment, he could already guess what is on the three men's minds.

He slightly raises his chin and rolled his eyes without any fear of Qin Jun's wrath.

”Give me a good reason why I should tell you when none of you contacted her since she left City Z?”

His words fell with a scoffing chuckle as the aura around him no longer belongs to that of an assistant, but a strong and confident member of Fate.

The color of his pupil seemed to have changed into black and he stares indifferently at the three men.

”Did you all really think she wouldn't know why?”

A chill crept up the back of all three men as Liu Shan's question sounded. It wasn't only his words but the change of his demeanor.

It was as if he had turned into the grim reaper out to collect their souls if they gave him the wrong answer.

No, to be exact, it was like he turned to his old self. As if the man standing in front of them was no longer the carefree Liu Shan, but the Mad Reaper.

”We thought it would be for the best.”
