A Si asshole
The despicable way Zuo Yang tried to strike what he considered Lian Jun's vulnerability pissed shi+ Jin off He couldn't help but taunt, ”Are you jealous?”
His words were clearly enunciated and delivered with great verve, and they immediately attracted attention So attention to their group After shi+ Jin's question, they stared openly, not wanting to 's face froze then was replaced by a frown ”What did you say?”
Pointedly wearing the sa sported earlier, shi+ Jin said loudly, ”I said, you're jealous ofable to stay by Jun-shao's side Do you have a crush on Jun-shao? If not, why do you act like a spoiled little princess wanting to attract the attention of the boy she likes? You're harassing hiuous You say he's pretty, you seem way too much interested in the people who liked hi to make him drive me away This isn't normal, you know You even had to anchor your shi+p next to ours, and so close—I dare you to say this isn't because you want Jun-shao to notice you You say young people's love is scary, but I think an old geezer trying to rob the cradle isto show off to Jun-shao, you're annoying”
Everyone was struck duic Even Gua One and the other ape at shi+ Jin, as if he suddenly grew another head
Lian Jun was about to pull shi+ Jin behind hier not only didn't suffer but even bit back, he withdrew his raised hand Playing along, he said to Zuo Yang, ”I's If I knew, yesterday I would've aimed somewhere else”
Gua One and others: ”……” Jun-shao, you've changed You would've never said this before
”Pff” Lu Shan, watching the excitehed out loud and deliberately clapped a few ti so hard to expand because its boss's chasing the , as your elder, let me advise you: for the sake of your important bits, abandon this unrealistic idea—and anyway, 'eo”
The expressions of all the other underworld bosses watching beca had been officially interviewed because of the whole ”e Today, Lu Shan said he was playing ”e Lian Jun as the e wanted to become his ”empress” but wasn't qualified to even dream of the position
As expected of the leader of one of the oldest underworld organizations—her taunting skills were truly first-class
Any other time, her words would make the other leaders uncomfortable The people of the underworld were, after all, proud and unfettered, and as such didn't like the talk of ”e to Lian Jun That said, after the news about Pegasus, they were so happy to see Zuo Yang suffer they ignored the h no one else spoke, the air on the deck was gleeful
Zuo Yang's face turned ugly as soon as shi+ Jin began to speak, then Lian Jun and Lu Shan joined in on the onslaught When they ”suddenly realized” he ”liked Lian Jun,” he was so livid he itched to take out his gun and start shooting at the crowd
However, he overnin a rando extre on shi+ Jin to sneer, then took so out of his inner pocket He threw it in Lian Jun's direction, saying in cold voice, ”Luckily for you, I'ood look at what's inside, and we'll see how long it takes for you to grovel beforethroas s ht
shi+ Jin, who stood in front of Lian Jun's wheelchair, grabbed it in the air It was a rectangular cardboard box, not er than a matchbox, and he inquisitively turned it in his hands Since the progress bar didn't rise, he determined it should be safe and handed it to Lian Jun
Lian Jun took it but didn't intend to open it in public ”Go back,” he said
So shi+ Jin pushed his wheelchair and headed for their quarters under the curious gazes of everyone on deck
Gua Two endured until they arrived in a more deserted part of the shi+p then turned to shi+ Jin and said, ”Youngster, your ht ould have to fight Nine Eagles then and there—how the hell did you co has a crush on Jun-shao… Cough, absolutely brilliant The bastard has probably never been sothe other perpetrator instead, ”No, no, it's all thanks to Jun-shao's guidance”
A quiet ”Hmm” came from the direction of the wheelchair
shi+ Jin's heart treed his reply, ”In fact, I hadn't planned to say all that, I just wanted to piss Zuo Yang off and see if he could be provoked intohis shi+p away I can't help but think he stopped next to ours because he's plotting so at shadows He used the ti to study the data Xiao Si gave him The results would've shocked hih Nine Eagles' shi+p looked like a civilian vessel, it was just on the surface—it was so heavily modified it was practically a warshi+p
The situation was too wrong So, when Zuo Yang took cheap shots at Lian Jun, he couldn't stop hi to provoke the man
Gua Two didn't expect to hear such an explanation He couldn't help but poke shi+ Jin's forehead, , ”Huh, how come you suddenly don't look as silly as usual? You're quite sharp”
shi+ Jin slapped his hand away, conte his eyes
”Stop, stop, don't bully h Since neither Lian Jun nor Gua One objected to the current topic, he continued lightly, ”Don't worry about Nine Eagles' shi+p being too close, Gua Five is keeping an eye on it And our shi+p is not too bad—even if Zuo Yang is sche, he won't necessarily succeed”
shi+ Jin i and asked, surprised, “Our shi+p is modified?” He'd lived there for a few days, after all, but never noticed anything out of the ordinary
Gua Two only smirked—the answer to this question was self-evident
After returning to their quarters, Lian Jun put the white box on the table
Gua One cautiously took off the lid, peered inside, and frowned He found a clean plastic box in a cabinet and poured out the contents
Patter, ten bloodstained human nails fell into the box The scene was creepy and sickening and made their skin crawl
shi+ Jin had never seen anything like it and looked away, face scrunched He sed, then forced hi shi+'s nails?”
”Most likely” Lian Jun reached out and put the cover on the box, saying to Gua Two, ”Take it back to our shi+p and let Uncle… Let Gua Five find so shi+'s”
Gua Two nodded ”Do you want ?” He asked
Lian Jun thought about it and shook his head ”No, he has the right to know”
Gua Two nodded again and picked up the plastic box
shi+ Jin hastily grabbed the e”
The cardboard box was no longer of any use, so no one was going to stop hihtfully, “If you don't like it, you can let Gua One handle it”
”No, it's fine,” the teenager shook his head He borrowed a cigarette lighter froht to the trash can, squatted, and struck the lighter
Everyone siet rid of it quickly and stopped paying attention to him shi+ Jin pretended to be clumsy and dropped the box into the trash can then put his hand inside to fish it out He put out the se the box and, forcing himself to overco the inside ”Can you use this as a mediuive=”” it=”” a=”” try,=””> Xiao Si said shi+ Jin felt his finger becoertip disappeared
He shuddered at the i shi+'s blood was in his body
Then, he finally burned the box He dropped the lighter on the table, rushed into the bathrooain until he didn't feel sick anymore
He came out of the bathroom and sat next to Lian Jun, who touched his reddened hands and frowned ”Since you hate it this much, why did you have to touch it? You could've just left it there, it's not as if I ht away, just in case,” shi+ Jin answered, trying not to look shi+fty, and pro just proved Long shi+ is in his hands Hoe respond?”
”We'll keep ignoring hihly likely that next ti shi+ out to show rab hi, a little reassured
At the afternoonat Lian Jun with a ”co me yet” expression The faces of the other leaders present in the conference rooan to wonder if Zuo Yang really did have designs on Lian Jun
Lian Jun was concentrated on the nals With a few precise sentences, he picked out several ”pawn” organizations Nine Eagles was secretly cultivating froave reasons why they should be targets of the govern's attention gradually shi+fted to that, and his expression slowly turned ugly Finally, when Lian Jun pointed out his sixth pawn, he cursed under his breath, picked up the docuan to think of a way to keep the rest
This afternoon, Nine Eagles suffered heavy losses The other underworld bosses found soes They paid closer attention to the organizations s” si became more and al organizations vetoed by Lian Jun should have a connection with Nine Eagles Sure enough, Zuo Yang really had a burning ambition to beco, Zuo Yang glared at Lian Jun for a long tiovernnore hilance
The other leaders caught all this, and two feelings wrestled in their chests They were happy to see Nine Eagles' leader having a bad tie Why? Because, fro like he was in love with Lian Jun and hated him because his love was unrequited…
After dinner, Xiao Si's atte shi+ bore results He was indeed on the Nine Eagles' shi+p, but in a very unexpected place: confined in Zuo Yang's quarters
shi+ Jin les' shi+p Xiao Si made earlier His brows furrowed ”Are you sure that's Zuo Yang's cabin?”
