"You can believe whatever you want," said Bai Meiyue. Her gaze was calm as she stared at the man lying on the ground, like she watched people dying in front of her every now and then. "I am not as unkind to counter a dying man’s words."
Spinning around on her feet, she walked out of the mansion. Behind her, Liu Che and Meng Qibao glanced at the leader of the thugs, who seemed to be close to dying and followed her out. The man didn’t even have any strength left in him to speak. How was he going to attack them?
The leader of the thugs watched as they walked out on him. Even though Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything, the leader of the thugs was so angry that he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Contradict him? Heh, did that woman mean to say that she could have killed him no matter how he attacked her?
Bang! The man lifted his fist and punched the ground. That punch took all of his strength, and his head dropped heavily on the ground. With one last glare, his bloodshot eyes lost their light. He was no longer breathing.
Bai Meiyue paused upon hearing the soft thump. She turned and looked at the scene and shook her head slightly. Yu Miaomiao was really willing to spend effort and time on her. She even sent second and third-level ability users as spies. And these fools were also tactless and stupid, since they had such an ability, why did they bother to ruin her instead of creating a safe base for themselves? That would have worked better. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The safe base that she created was not built by her alone, but by the people around her as well. But she had never taken any kind of shortcuts. She had worked hard, and she had done everything in her power to make sure that the people around her would be able to live a good life. However, these men wanted to take shortcuts, which led to the chaos in the present.
"Are you done hiding?" Bai Meiyue asked the man who was peeking through the corner. She turned and took a look at him and wasn’t even surprised when she saw another level-three ability user. Yu Miaomiao had not left any stone unturned to deal with her. Who would have thought that she would send so many ability users to take down Bai Meiyue?
"You—"
Liu Che made a violent move towards the man, who raised his hands in the air in surrender. He stammered, "Please... please... don’t kill me. I didn’t mean to... look, I never joined them in killing you. I....I think life is good here. I ... I wanted to stay here from the beginning, but I was scared ... I never thought about killing you."
That man shook his head and said ’no’ three times. However, how could Bai Meiyue leave him? She smiled and raised her hand.
The next second, the eyes of the man widened, and the last thought that he had in his head was how someone like Bai Meiyue, who looked like a white lotus, would be so poisonous. He saw the look in the eyes of the men behind her, and they seemed close to letting him go. Then, why didn’t she let him go? How could this woman be so ruthless? She didn’t have an ounce of mercy in her eyes and heart.
Bai Meiyue glanced at the man whose eyes were filled with disbelief and clicked her tongue. She didn’t want to kill anyone today, but this man just had to create trouble for no reason with her. She turned to look at Liu Che, who seemed shocked by the proceedings of her actions, and said to him, "Go and arrange for someone to clean up these bodies and ask the research team to hurry up. I believe it won’t take long for the nanobugs to start causing trouble in the safe base."
Liu Che nodded without asking her why she killed the man, even when he wanted to surrender, and that satisfied Bai Meiyue. She liked smart people, and from the attitude of these two men, it seemed like they understood one thing clearly: never question your leader. And if you question your leader, don’t follow them.
