Chapter 349: Continue

"Well," Daunting Spirit toughen himself up and narrowed his eyes in a challenging manner at White Bird. "Considering that he's still up and standing, I would've guessed none of those before me provided anything useful."1

White Bird stared blankly at him. Her eyes void of any trace of emotions, making it incredibly difficult for him, or anyone for that matter, to discern what she's thinking.

Oh sh*t. Did he sounded too arrogant just now? Was that tone equivalent to a death sentence?

It may not for White Bird, but for these two not-so-gentle gentlemen beside him is.

"Care to repeat that, brat? Who do you think you're speaking to?"

"We need no one's charity work." Silent Death cocked his katana's blade on Daunting Spirit's chin. "If our boss desires it, Qilin's presence would permanently be erased. And so will you and your little group if you don't know how to hold your tongue back."

D*mn, these guys are hella nuts! Best not to aggravate them anymore. Though he keeps on saying that to himself, but words comes out automatically before he could process them.

That's why his elder sister and that woman calls him a troublemaker.

"You're clever," Lillie retracted her finger from his forehead and straightened up. "But still naive to think that you'll have a chance to leave here unscathed."

That was merely a threat to test the limit of the boy's bravery. Nothing but empty words.

Besides, he's young. So far, she didn't see anything that would make him pay for his life.

He said he has school after this? Well, color her surprise to know that he's quite the diligent student.

A shame. His future would've been brighter if he hadn't joined the Underworld. She could only watch and see how far he'll survive in this godforsaken side of society.

The tremors in Daunting Spirit's chest loosen up by a margin as White Bird drew back to her seat.

"Silent Death, Silver Dragon, withdraw your weapons and allow the poor boy to state his business without any discomfort."

Ah, so that guy was Silver Dragon. His identity couldn't be mistaken, with that silver, full-face mask shaped like a dragon and all.

He doesn't know anything about this man personally. His employer wasn't being specific.

He only said to cause a ruckus in White Bird's base to make the big boss come out, as well as the newest recruit of the Elders; Silver Dragon.

What he wants with him, he has no clue.

But as you've all probably understand by now, he didn't followed his employer's plan, and went ahead to accomplish his real mission.

Anyway, going back to the present, as if only withdrawing those weapons from him would completely remove his discomfort. Although, he wouldn't deny that it did decreased it.

Lillie relaxed her back on the chair's backrest and propped her cheek on her knuckles. She closes her eyes momentarily to relieve the slight sting.

In other people's perspective, it looks like she's in deep thoughts.

But Ethan and Song Mo Kun knew better.

Ethan knows that his wife wasn't feeling better still. She must've be feeling tired and sleepy right now.

Song Mo Kun thought that her eyes are acting up again. Triggering her red eyes causes drawbacks such as headache and blur of vision if used too long.

"Let's refrain from wasting anymore time, shall we? So, cut to the chase, tell me what you and your co-leader could offer in exchange for an alliance?"

Daunting Spirit obediently nodded. He cleared his throat and said, "My co-leader, Thrill Seeker and I were recently approached by an anonymous patron who ask for our services. They paid us quite the large sum of money to execute a certain mission..."

Lillie's eyebrow rose as he paused. "And this mission was?" She urged him.

Daunting Spirit sighed internally. Gods please, let this not be the cause of his death. "To impersonate White Bird."

"..."

"..."

Ethan and Song Mo Kun silently waited for Lillie's signal to slice this brat's neck or put a bullet in his brain.

This brat and his partner has done them a great deal of trouble and committed the gravest sin in the Underworld.

If White Bird didn't deal with her imposters, the Reapers will do it for her.

Do these children know what kind of danger they just jumped into?

Lillie remain unfazed. "Continue." She urged him, flicking her wrist.

Relief washed over Daunting Spirit at that single word. His chances of getting to live another day gain an altitude.
