Volume 2 Chapter 107
107. Giving You a Chance
Thousand Kills thought Xia Yi was just trying to scare her.
She looked at Xia Yi.
The silver-haired loli was glaring at her fiercely, super ferocious, as if she was about to eat someone.
It’s over. Why aren’t you following the usual script?!
Thousand Kills just wanted to be a bit reserved. According to the normal plot development, shouldn’t the other party start negotiating with her?
Now, without even planning to communicate, they were directly sending her on her way.
No, it shouldn’t be. They were just trying to scare her.
She tried her best to remain calm, believing that this loli dragon was just angry, and the two people beside her would not agree no matter what.
That red dragon looked like a mature and reliable adult. She would think calmly. How could she obey the angry whims of this young dragon?
And the leader of the Hechi Gang, he had been in Corolle’s underworld for many years and also knew the importance of intelligence. He would definitely not kill her just like that.
Mm.
It should be like this.
Thousand Kills didn’t let herself waver.
Jiye stood up and directly pressed Thousand Kills to the ground.
“I understand, Miss Mu Guang. Since the other party is seeking death, let’s fulfill her wish.”
Jiye’s voice carried a clear killing intent. This wasn’t a joke.
Thousand Kills had been in contact with many gang members and could distinguish between intimidation and the real deal.
She was stunned.
Leader of the Hechi Gang, what’s going on with you?! You’re really killing me so easily just to please that young dragon, without even planning to interrogate me?!
Jiye took out a dagger, reflecting a cold light under the illumination of the lamp. Just as it was about to fall, it was stopped.
“Wait.”
“Big Sis?”
Jiye stopped the dagger in mid-air, looking at Sera in confusion.
“Stop, put the dagger away,” Sera ordered.
Jiye could only obey.
A smile appeared on Thousand Kills’ face.
Great, she was saved.
I knew it. This red dragon must be calm and rational, unlike the other two who were so impulsive. She would definitely negotiate with me properly—
“Killing her like this is letting her off too easily,” Sera said mercilessly. “She destroyed the Young Miss’ favorite wallet, so she must receive severe punishment. First, while keeping her awake, use a small knife to slowly cut off her tail, and then stuff it into her mouth.”
“Big Sister, you’re absolutely right.”
Jiye agreed, respectfully handing out the dagger, which Sera took.
Listening to the sound of high heels stepping on the floor step by step, Thousand Kills’s body trembled.
Since her debut, she had never encountered such a terrifying dragon. The oppressive feeling Sera emitted when angry… made this assassin, who claimed to have a 1000% success rate, unable to breathe.
“Wuuuuu, don’t kill me! I admit, my voice was a bit loud just now. I just wanted a bit of face. Wuuuuu, I surrender!”
Thousand Kills started rolling on the ground. How could she care about saving face at this point?
If she died, everything would be in vain.
“You’re Corolle’s number one assassin. How can you beg for mercy so easily?!” Jiye scolded, “Show some backbone!”
Thousand Kills glanced at the murderous Sera. Thiking, you bastard, it’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one in danger!
“I was just talking nonsense. I don’t want to die yet. Spare me, and I’ll tell you everything I know!”
“You really won’t persist a bit?” Sera asked.
“No, no! Thank you! I really don’t need to!” Thousand Kills’ head was shaking like a rattle drum.
Sera looked disappointed.
“Thousand Kills, it’s not that we need your information and are negotiating with you to spare you,” Xia Yi said. “It’s that you’re willing to voluntarily provide information. Understand?”
“Yes, yes!”
Thousand Kills gritted her teeth and agreed.
She really had no choice now. She actually had to fall to the point of betraying her employer…
“The one who hired me is the Elvin family. They told me that no matter what means I use, I must take your life,” Thousand Kills said to Xia Yi. “They gave me a large down payment, higher than any of my previous missions. And they promised… if I completed the mission, there would be a triple bonus afterward!”
“How could it be the Elvin family?”
Jiye was shocked to learn that the emerging nobility was behind it.
After all, he knew very little.
Sera and Xia Yi, on the other hand, felt that it was within expectations. Because since entering Corolle, the only two forces they had conflicts with were the Elvin family and the Cangqing Gang.
What was unexpected was why the Elvin family wasn’t retaliating against Sera but Xia Yi.
Sera asked, “Am I among your assassination targets?”
“No, the Elvin family didn’t mention you, only this Miss… Mu Guang,” Thousand Kills answered truthfully.
“The reason?”
“I don’t know. I just do my job. How would I know inside stories? In our line of work, we never ask the employer why they want to place an order. We only care about whether we can complete the mission and get paid.”
Thousand Kills really said everything she could.
“Did you offend the Elvin family? They are nobles with terrifying power.”
“It wasn’t me, only the Young Miss. This is… why?” Sera couldn’t figure it out.
Including Xia Yi.
In the previous incident at the Ascension Casino, Sera was the protagonist, while she was just a spectator. Why would the other party pay attention to her?
To the point of hiring a powerful assassin and spending a large sum of money to take her life.
Could it be…
Her identity as a member of the Royal Dragon Family was exposed, and the emerging nobility knew that if their actions in Corolle were exposed to the royal family, they would face annihilation, so they took action in advance?
But Xia Yi still felt that there was something strange about it. It shouldn’t be just that.
“What exactly is the Elvin family scheme? Could it be that we touched the cake of the new nobles? No, that’s not right. This was only decided in the afternoon, but the assassin was sent long ago…”
Jiye looked like an outsider. He didn’t understand the identities of Xia Yi and Sera and was very puzzled.
“Can you let me go now?! I’ve told you everything!” Thousand Kills shouted loudly.
Sera and Jiye both looked at Xia Yi.
The decision was up to her.
“Sera, Jiye, you go out first, I want to talk to her alone,” Xia Yi said.
“Miss?” Sera was a bit puzzled.
“It’s fine. You guys wait outside. I know what I’m doing.”
“Okay.”
Sera nodded in agreement, taking Jiye out with her.
Now, only Xia Yi and Thousand Kills were left in the room.
Xia Yi didn’t speak, just stared at Thousand Kills, the air seemed to freeze.
Thousand Kills actually started to panic.
“You want to live, right?”
The corners of Xia Yi’s mouth curved into a smile, her expression simply like a villain’s.
Walking up to Thousand Kills, she made a shocking move.
She raised her little foot and stepped on Thousand Kills’ face.
“Now, I’m giving you a chance.”
