Chapter 484 - The Crown of Darkness (11)
Knock knock!
The knock interrupted their conversation. Ming Shu got up and went to it; Xia Zhan then felt an inexplicable relief.
He examined the room carefully.
Ming Shu came back after a long time, smiling even wider. It looked like something pleasant had happened.
Ming Shu sat down again. “You’re worth a lot of money.”
Xia Zhan got somewhat nervous. He stared tightly at Ming Shu and didn’t utter a sound, waiting for her to follow up.
Who found her?
Should I pretend to be knocked silly or an amnesiac now?
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Yan Zhan.]
Xia Zhan... Yan...
Ming Shu smiled wider. Very good, a fake name.
“Who do you think I should give you to?” Ming Shu looked very hesitant.
“It’s better for you to keep me.” Yan Zhan’s voice sounded colder than before, and his eyes also became a little harsh. Even if his face was pale, the powerful momentum in him was unstoppable.
Ming Shu raised her brows slightly. “There are quite a lot of people who want you out there. Why should I keep you, won’t that cause me trouble?”
“The big miss of the Skyhawk Faction will fear trouble?”
Ming Shu twitched her lips. “How do you know I’m the big miss of the Skyhawk Faction?”
Yan Zhan felt a sudden click in the bottom of his heart and his expression relaxed for one second, but then he returned to normal. “I saw Skyhawk Faction’s sign on the car that came to help you.”
“Really?” Some cars were indeed printed with signs, but Ming Shu didn’t think the car today had one on its body. “How didn’t I know? Did they draw randomly on the car without telling me?”
“...” Yan Zhan took a deep breath and his face got paler. “I also didn’t know that the big miss of the Skyhawk Faction has become a mental hospital’s director.”
“It’s just a side job,” Ming Shu answered very naturally. “The business is hard now, and I have to support so many brothers in the faction. Who doesn’t want to earn some extra money? I think I should hand you out and earn a large sum of money. Isn’t it very cost-effective.”
Screw your side job!
Who are you playing with!
Yan Zhan’s mouth twitched. “Do you think you’ll be safe if you hand me off?”
“What, do they want to kill in my Green City?”
Yan Zhan agreed with her in silence.
So ferocious!
I’m so scared.
In order to protect her snacks, Ming Shu became very serious. “So I should hand you off.”
It’ll get me lots of snacks!
Very cost-effective!
I can save you later if necessary.
[...] Guest, you’re planning fraud!
Yan Zhan was almost choked by the blood in his throat. Why was there always a psychopath wanting to destroy his character setting.
Is it easy for me to retain the character setting?
It’s not easy!
Yan Zhan pondered on solutions quickly in his mind. He must stay, otherwise he wouldn’t have the chance to conquer!
“Who came to you?!”
“Xia Xian, your brother. He promised fifty million to find you.” Ming Shu stretched out her fingers and wiggled them. “Fifty million.”
And just now Xia Xian had sent people here with the money: gold bars.
He promised as long as she found the person, the remaining goods would also be delivered.
Yan Zhan breathed a sigh of relief inside, but then became alert again. “Who else?”
“No others.” Ming Shu took out two candies, unwrapped them, and popped them into her mouth. There were some ripples spreading in her eyes, and her lips curved into a beautiful arc. “But maybe I can find those who wanted to kill you, they’ll give me a very nice price, I guess.”
“Are you short on money?” Yan Zhan burst out as he couldn’t control himself anymore.
But he regretted immediately after saying that. I can’t break the character setting. I can’t break the character setting.
“Who will not be short on money.” More money means more snacks, what do you know about money! Ming Shu smiled. “What do you say? Mister Yan.”
Yan Zhan: “...”
Xia Xian came to her, so it wasn’t strange she could guess who he was.
As the underworld leader in Green City, it was also not strange that she knew his identity.
Not strange, but not right!
Xia Xian wouldn’t tell her his identity, and he rarely showed up in public. Why? Of course it was to keep the secret... hell!
It was because too many people wanted to kill him. If he was recognized by everyone, would he live!
So how on earth did she know?
“If the underworld’s people know you’re like this now, do you think they will gather and attack you?” If I wipe out his organization, will he hate me?
Ming Shu thought about this possibility...
Based on her knowledge of this psychopath, he should probably linger and stay.
Ming Shu dropped the idea. But angering him is also not bad.
Yan Zhan: “...” Hehe.
“Why are you silent?”
“...” I have nothing to say. You’re going to exchange me for money, what do you expect me to say, thank you and please come again?
Sorry, I can’t do that.
Yan Zhan just ignored her. Without Hatred Points, Ming Shu was bored and began to eat snacks, sitting in the chair.
Under her stare, Yan Zhan had to simply close his eyes.
He didn’t want to see this psychopath right now.
When he recovered, he would strangle her.
Definitely.
...
Ming Shu waited for Yan Zhan to fall asleep, then she got up and left the room.
Green Hair stood guard outside. Seeing Ming Shu come out, he went up immediately and was a little excited. “Big Miss, do we hand him off?”
It’s fifty million!
Ming Shu stuffed the empty snack bags into his arms, smiled, and patted his shoulder. “If anyone dares leak the news, he’ll come see me with his head in hands.”
Green Hair opened his mouth into an O shape, and after a long while he continued, “Big Miss, don’t we hand him off? For fifty million?”
Fifty million!
And it’s already paid.
“Yes, and then?” Ming Shu gave an innocent smile. “He didn’t request that we must find the person, right?”
Green Hair: “...”
Big Miss, do you know you’ll be beaten to death?
...
At midnight...
Ming Shu was dreaming about building a snack empire when a sudden noise of a door smashing sounded, accompanied by chaotic voices.
“Big Miss, something happened!”
Ming Shu got up agitatedly and pulled the door open. “What happened? Who’s coming for revenge?”
Green Hair’s green hair was also a mess, and his clothes’ buttons were mistakenly matched. He must’ve gotten up in a hurry and panicked.
“Big Miss, we’re surrounded.” Green Hair reported very fast, “They have a lot of people.”
“Oh.” Ming Shu’s expression didn’t change much. “Who are they coming for?”
“Who else, it must be the one upstairs.” Green Hair was very worried. “I said we should hand him off. He must be one of the important figures on Yama’s side. These people should be on the same side as those ones from before.”
Ming Shu really wanted to tell him that the one upstairs was the Yama himself. Of course he was an important figure.
“Big Miss, we should retreat. They outnumber us by a lot, and we won’t win.” Green Hair continued, “They have heavy weaponry.”
Ming Shu: “...”
This is a society governed by law!
After receiving the information about the situation, Ming Shu put on a coat and went upstairs. Meanwhile, Green Hair went to prepare for the retreat.
It was quiet upstairs. The two bodyguards guarding the door had already received the news, but they didn’t know what to do. No one told them to take the one inside with them or just kill him.
