YM778.TV Chapter 77 - Death Is Very Easy
Hanging her head backwards, the girl in complete white formal suit laughed delightfully. Her laugh was soft but pleasing to hear. With her black hair contrasting her white suit, she was the personification of a charming goddess. All of the people present couldn’t help but stare at her in a daze.
But the daze broke all of sudden when she stopped laughing and closed her eyes. A thick savage aura sheathed her like encasing a fierce blade. There was pin-drop silence in the warehouse. No one even dared to breathe loudly.
Her eyes steadily opened like an Agapanthus flower emerging from its cocoon. But unlike Agapanthus flower which literally means love flower, there was no love or beauty in her dark orbs. There was only a sinister look. Her face was extremely solemn as if the earlier laugh was just an illusion.
The masked man with the gun was taken aback by her look. But he stubbornly held his ground. "Boss might be scared of you. But I can finish you off with just a bullet." He spoke with an air of gloating.
He barely managed to put his index finger on the trigger when abruptly a Quill Spike went through his hand making him wail in pain as the gun dropped with a thud. Xu Mey’s movements were so nimble that nobody caught it when she pulled the spike from under her sleeve and threw it with perfect precision. Her aim was so perfect that the spike managed to pierce his hand and went across it.
The man fell on his knees holding his hand which still had the spike in it with heart-wrenching wails. The four men behind Xu Mey took a step ahead intending to hold him but Xu Mey’s hand gesture halted their action. "You guys don’t have to deal with him. The spike was laced with poison." Everyone’s eyes widened at her statement. "John!" She called one of her men as he moved to her side. "Just put something in his mouth. He’s too noisy."
The Qilin Group’s people gulped looking at her serene expression. "Oh, and get that spike back. It’s expensive." She smiled innocently at the end making everyone’s already widened eyes to turn into saucers.
Whether she was being frugal or savage was unknown. The tall man, John pulled off the mask of the wailing man and stuffed his mouth with his own mask. Then he pulled the spike out brutally making him roll on the floor with pain as the blood gushed out like a fountain. John cleaned the blood off of the spike before presenting to Xu Mey.
"Is he going to die?" She heard Wanye’s voice transmitted from the phone which was still connected. She held the Quill Spike in her hand rubbing her finger on its sleek threadlike body.
"Don’t fret. He won’t die." All of Qilin Group’s people heaved a sigh of relief but the next moment choked on air at her next utterance. "But he won’t live as well." Wayne Kai expected as much from her. There was no reaction from his side.
"What are you all still doing there? Get back right now!" Wayne Kai ordered his people. And the eleven people that were left didn’t need to be told twice. They ran away as fast as they could.
After they left, she turned to Mr. Ching whose body was shaking terribly. Even though the girl looked like a beautiful fairy but for him, she was like a devil unhurriedly taking a step closer to him. Her every step felt like her crushing his soul with ease. Losing all hope, he fell on his knees and started kowtowing. He banged his head with so much force that blood was trickling down his face. But he didn’t care much about it. "President Xu, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for once. Please don’t kill me."
His pleading had no visible effect on the girl in white. She calmly asked, "Who said I’ll kill you?"
Mr. Ching looked up at her face with a hopeful gleam in his eyes. She sat down at the wicker chair that her subordinates placed for her and crossed her legs elegantly. She propped her elbow on the arm-rest and supported her chin on the palm of her hand. "Let me tell you a story, Manager Ching."
She closed her eyes in a thoughtful manner. "Once upon a time, a young girl had an evil step-mother. That step-mother used to add some medicine to her milk every night for 3 years. Do you know what that medicine was for?" Mr. Ching just stared at her languid look. "It was to make her turn into an aggressive and retarded person." Mr. Ching listened attentively.
"Then the evil step-mother locked her up in a cage. The cage was horrible and the young girl didn’t like it at all. One day, she ran away from there... Before she could get caught, she met a person who saved her... The young girl started calling him her Sensei... One day, she told her sensei that she wants to kill her evil stepmother and her half-sister to take her revenge. Do you know what the sensei said?"
Mr. Ching shook his head instinctively. She leaned forward as her face came closer to his bloody one, she replied, "He said, ’Death is very easy...’ When the young girl looked confused, he added, ’Living is the harder part. We all can die but to live, we have to die every single day.’" She sighed. "Do you know who that young girl was?"
She clutched his neck in her hand and replied, "That young girl was me." Mr. Ching’s eyes widened with terror. "So, I won’t kill you. I’ll let you live, just so you can die every single day for the rest of your life." His breathing was getting harsher with the force she used.
Mr. Ching realized too late that the person he messed with was not an easy one. That medicine might not have turned her into a retard but it definitely made her an aggressive person.
