A Lot To Discuss  

The woman in front of Chang Xuefeng seemed to freeze for a second when she heard his threat, but then she quickly recovered. "You can't kill me," she announced, a smirk on her face. "Hattie said to tell you that she likes me. She even went so far as to say that it would save my life one day."

 

Chang Xuefeng let loose a string of curse words that couldn't be translated into English. "Fine. I'll tear everything else down around you, but I will make sure that you walk away from everything. I am sure that that will satisfy Hattie."

 

"We still can't let you pass," shrugged the woman, and her face did look apologetic as she spoke. "Ms. LaRue has orders to kill you on sight; the best thing you can do is leave for now. Hattie should be able to leave on a mission in the next few months or so. You can find her then."
