"You've had your fun, now its my turn."
Her words did not register in his head until he saw her body move forward into the battle. By the time his body reacted she had already started fighting back. She had taken a small pause where he saw her close her eyes and in that quick second her entire aura changed. He felt her cold and murderous vibes even before she opened her eyes. It was weird for him to see her like this, Comparing his cute but ferocious kitten - this was a cold blooded killer. But it did nothing to kill his attraction for her, it in fact made his interest in her rise.
He hated weak woman who depended on men for everything. But as soon as danger arose he pushed her behind him and refused to let her fight. He in a way became the men he mocked and made her play the role of a weak woman. Yet she ignored him was defending and attacking everyone without breaking a sweat. Being his woman, he knew that would put her in danger but knowing that she could handle herself gave him a sense of security. As the King of the Underworld, only a woman like his kitten would be a perfect match. His lips curved into a small smile as he watched his kitten tearing everyone to shreds.
Watching her actions carefully he could tell that she did not waste any movement. Every strike, movement she made was efficient and contained the right amount of strength. This level of skill would take years to develop, his guess was that she was trained since childhood in the acts of warfare and battle. His mind spun as he tried to link all the information he had of her together but he did not know enough to reach any logical decision. It was frustrating.
A wounded man on the floor saw Han Xi Long on the side as the woman jumped into the fight. His body shivered as he saw her skillfully take down 10 men in two minutes- she was a monster. But what was scarier was seeing the small smile on Han Xi Long's face as he watched the blood and carnage of the battle. He had heard rumors about him and seeing this scene in front of him he knew every single one was true. Fear took over as he hoped the fight would end soon and he could escape from his clutches - that is if he could get out alive.
Xi Long eyes never strayed from her as he watched her bend, move, and strike men down. She did it so easily that it was as if she was just playing around.
'Was this her true skill? Who is she?'
Those two questions kept bothering him. His eyes glazed as he watched her take down the last man, then grabbed the stupid leader. Pressing his head into the floor she took her daggers and held it against his throat.
"Now let's try this again, who sent you?"
The leader tried to fight her off but was unable to move her. Her knee was digging into the middle of his back while her other leg restrained his legs. She pressed the dagger harder against his neck till small red drops of blood rained down. The leader still remained silent as he tried his best to protect his client's confidentiality. He did not feel like he had to answer her, this was because he felt that she would not actually kill him. However he was wrong. As soon as he refused to answer for the second time her aura turned darker. Taking the dagger she brought it up and changed her position to stab him directly.
"One last chance." He still did not respond.
Taking that as his answer, Ying Yue lifted the dagger high and brought the blade down in a quick and aggressive way. The blade aimed to his head as if she was going to pierce it through. The leader had remained calm until now but feeling her aura get colder and the speed at which she brought up the blade was enough to tell him she was serious. If he did not confess now he would die.
Just before the dagger pierced through his skin he shouted out "I'll confess! I'll tell you!"
Ying Yue smirked, she knew he would give up. A weak group like this could never hold secrets long if their life was at stake. She remained silent as she waited for him to speak the name.
"It...it was Zhong Fu Corps' CEO Zhong Fu. He had sent out the order to us this morning. We did not know it was you I promise! We were just told to raid the restaurant at this time and attack the man in the navy suit."
Xi Long's eyes became sharp, he had been lovingly watched his kitten fight but had an underlying sense of anger at the person who dared interrupt their first date. After the amount of time and coercion it took to bring her here and then there were multiple interruptions. 'Who knew how she thought of him now? And if she wanted to see him again?'
Hearing the name of the man behind this attack. Gritting his teeth he muttered "I was too easy on him. Guess I have to get a bit more bloody." Men like Zhang Fu were dust to him, usually he would send his men out to deal with small preys like him but now that he had gained so much courage he didn't mind playing with him to death. However how did Zhang Fu know where he was going to be ? And that he was going without security? A mole. There was a mole in his midst. Xi Long laughed, 'ah this is getting interesting.'
Stepping forward to his kitten he gripped her wrist and pulled her off the man. "Well that took long enough. Now you weren't dumb enough to believe that you were free, right?" He snapped his fingers and his men flooded in to capture and take away all the men there.
"But you said you'd let us go!! We told you everything we know!!"
"So? You chose to fight me and now face the consequences. You should've killed me when you had the chance."
The men protested but they were quickly evacuated from the building. When it was finally silent Ying Yue realized the situation she was in. She lost control and started fighting and threatening men in front of him. Now she could feel his warm palm on her waist and his questioning gaze burning into her head. Turning around to finally face him and give a random excuse she was cut off.
He kissed her. Hard.
