Chapter 236 - A Connection
Chapter 236 – A Connection
"Base 2, Central City…" Mia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a tissue before throwing it away. She wandered around in the abandoned alleyway following the connection between her and Han Jian Yu's blood. Her footsteps came to a halt as she quickly hid behind the wall.
"You never expected it to be me, did you?" A man said as he discarded the black mask off his face.
Han Jian Yu frowned, "You…"
''Oh? The great President of Amaranthine doesn't recognize me. I was a poor beggar after all. Back then, I had introduced you to that job so that you can get some money to feed your sweet little sister. But who would have known you would manage to climb the ladders to the highest throne and end up becoming the President of the country," A hint of envy appeared in his eyes before the man laughed, "Who would have expected that after all these years I will be the one to be paid to kill your sister? She handled many of my men barehanded. But, I as the captain, was so reluctant to kill her. Oh man, what an item she was! She was the perfect material to be taken home and fuck I wanted to tie her to the bed and…ugh.."
Han Jian Yu punched the man who spat a mouthful of blood. "Do you think I won't kill you?"
"Will you kill me?" The well-built man pointed his chin towards the back.
Han Jian Yu followed his gaze and turned his face to the side looking at his men who were taken down by some people dressed in black.
"There was a mole in your men who informed me about your whereabouts and before you could come here, I had already laid out the trap," The man punched his jaws with the muzzle of his pistol.
Mia, who was hiding behind the wall spat another mouthful of blood as she pressed her palm on her mouth. She glanced and Han Jian Yu's bloodied face before looking at one of his knees where he was shot. No wonder it was so painful. She cursed in her heart. Merging the blood should not be this dangerous to her then why was it happening right now? Why was she feeling his pain?
Mia frowned. This particular power was given to her by her mother which she could only use once in her whole life. Her mother had said that only when the other person is important to her should she allow their blood to merge with hers. But she never knew it would have such serious consequences. She merged Han Jian Yu's blood with her out of impulse because she had seen how worried Yu Mei was when she could not find her brother. To not let the situation happen again, she decided to take it under her control but now…
Mia played with her long silver hair as her brows tugged together.
"Since you came looking for your death, you should not blame me. Moreover, there are bombs installed in this place, you should not even try to escape. Let me send you to your sister," The man placed his pistol on Han Jian Yu's forehead as his finger moved, one second away from pulling the trigger.
"I haven't bedded him even once. How would I let him die? You think you can kill the man Her Highness has set her eyes on?" She flipped her long hair. She raised her hand as flames danced on her fingertips. "Humph," She scoffed before aiming her fingers towards the ground.
Han Jian Yu grabbed the pistol aimed at his forehead and twisted the man's wrist. His gaze was slightly unfocused as he looked around.
Suddenly, there was a loud blast in the alleyway that caught him off guard.
"AHHH!" The sound of the blood-curdling screams lingered in the air.
After a few seconds, Han Jian Yu removed his hand that was covering his eyes as he emotionlessly glanced at the gory sight that greeted him. The Captain of that mysterious faction laid dead on the ground with his flesh torn and scattered everywhere. His men who had captured two of his subordinates earlier were also dead in the blast.
But he and his subordinates survived this. Miraculously? Or there was something else to it?
Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Boss…." Danny and Sunny ran towards the man, "The bombs were already diffused by us…"
"I know."
Sunny, Danny, and the two other subordinates looked at each other. It was their boss's plan all along so they could get the mouse out of its hole. Along with the captain, they wanted to capture and finish every remaining member of that faction.
Han Jian Yu knew it all along that there was a mole amongst his people and he took this opportunity to take things under his control. The bullet that he took on one of his legs and the superficial injuries were just the sacrifices made to get something more.
The man glanced at the dead bodies who were torn into more than two parts. A pity that he couldn't know that which member of the Han Family had paid to get his princess killed.
But the one who activated the bombs. Is it a friend or a foe?
He raised his hand and glanced around. A flash of silver besides the nearest wall caught his attention.
A certain vixen swiftly finished her job and leaned on the wall lazily, "I have promised Mei that I won't have other intentions towards you. But my dear eye candy, can I pleasure my eyes a little more?" She sighed dreamily looking at the man, "I guess I am allowed to do that as I just saved your little life."
His fur coat was covered in dust with his face stained with blood. His properly combed hair was now in a mess but he was a sight she couldn't take her eyes off from.
She froze the moment he looked in her direction.
