Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, it was hard to tell who won the match. Ye Chong's unique way of battle was surprising to everyone, but his ambushing style also left a bad taste in many of the guests. In particular, the way he threw Shu Man'er was received with strong disdain and disapproval by many young shooters.
The only thing that Sun Sieha was grateful for was how the match was poised to become the hottest topic amongst the guests of the evening ball. Based on his experience, word of the battle will reach the entire capital by tomorrow. He did not really care if they liked Ye Chong. He only wanted them to be more interested in close range combat.
The night's event came to end. All the guests looked excited. Some of them could see the larger picture behind this duel, while others only saw it as impressive entertainment.
The guests bid each other farewell courteously and gracefully, and left on their vehicles.
Ye Chong sat beside Sun Sieha. He was happy with today's foray. The boring evening ball turned out to be fruitful after all. That was all that mattered for the pragmatic Ye Chong.
Just when Ye Chong thought Sun Sieha was going to send him back his manor, a servant approached their car and said, ”Your Majesty, she's here.”
Sun Sieha's eyes turned cold as he nodded to the servant.
After that, a woman was brought to them. Ye Chong saw that it was Shu Man'er.
Shu Man'er was only rendered unconscious during the battle, but did not sustain injuries. She looked a little haggard.
Upon seeing Sun Sieha, Shu Man'er panicked and quickly went down on her knees, ”Your Majesty!”
Sun Sieha ignored her. He looked at Ye Chong with a smile and said, ”You probably don't know this, but her elder sister is Shu Mo'er, the Level 6 shooter that you fought against last time.”
Ye Chong listened without expression.
”The Shu Family, well, it's not especially powerful or something, but it does have these two capable sisters. I've had all the Level 6 shooters who survived last time investigated. That is how I came to know that Shu Mo'er is Shu Man'er elder sister. Who could have known that the famous beauty, Shu Man'er has an equally impressive elder sister? Tsk tsk, if those young nobles found that, the Shu Family will find itself busy with visitors.”
Sun Sieha spoke casually, but his eyes were cold and stern.
”I left Shu Mo'er alive because of her teacher, Mei Wu. You see, Mei Wu and I have a shared history. I spare her student out of respect,” Sun Sieha had an unreadable expression when he said this, but he quickly gathered himself.
”Humph, but the sisters are wrong to assume that having Mei Wu's support allows them to get away with things,” Sun Sieha's voice turned cold as he continued.
Shu Man'er shuddered.
”Look at me,” Sun Sieha ordered.
Shu Man'er lifted her head. Her pale face framed a pair of eyes filled with terror
”You have good looks,” Sun Sieha complimented with a nod, ”and talent. A Level 6 shooter at such a young age. There is potential in you.”
Shu Man'er bit her lips and shuddered again.
”It's really a pity!” Sun Sieha shook his head regretfully, ”You made a terrible and malicious decision despite being so young.” He turned to Ye Chong and continued, ”You're not aware of this, but she exchanged the energy crystal in her laser gun for the duel to a radioactive crystal. Hehe, no one knew about it! Radioactive crystals can fire laser beams with high radioactivity. You won't feel it when you're shot, and it's not noticeable by the audience. However, you're in for a nasty ride later. Your bones will slowly turn to mush. It's like a slow acting poison.”
Ye Chong felt chilled by this discovery.
”Shocking, isn't it? I was also surprised when my subordinate reported to me. It's not every day you encounter such a malicious trick. I'm wonder, though, does she always have radioactive crystals on her? But I can't be bothered to investigate further. Keeping and using radioactive crystals without permission is a crime that's enough to make the Shu Family suffer,” Sun Sieha said with a smile to Ye Chong.
”Forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!” Shu Man'er sobbed as she pleaded, knocking her forehead on the ground repeatedly.
Sun Sieha ignored her completely and continued slowly, ”There are people in this world who assumed that they're smart, while everyone else is foolish. The truth is, she is the one who is foolish and naïve, don't you think?”
