A Bidding

"No, Mr. Shen…" Shen Qui interrupted the silence that followed the old man's words. "Making my wife angry… could easily get you killed."

As if on cue, Lyca's legs sprang into action. One kick and the man standing near her stumbled back. She reinforced the attack by moving her arm towards the man, fully incapacitating him with one of her needles.

"Halt!" Old Man Shen raised his left hand. "Do not engage!"

Lyca lifted an eyebrow. "Too late." She looked at the old man. By now, the men wearing black were either kneeling or already lying on the floor. The first attack was nothing but a diversion, giving Lyca the chance to use her hidden weapons to secretly attack the other six men. "Did you know that some snakes release at least 420 mg of toxins? That is about two teaspoons of poison." She walked towards the man that she kicked earlier and collected her needle on his forehead.
