Samuel wore a bitter smile. “Are you worried about them or me?”
“That’s enough, Samuel!” Kathleen rearranged her facial features into a solemn expression. “I don't care who you are at the moment, but we must cooperate now. We cannot fight against them single-handedly.”
Samuel's face darkened. “Who are they?”
“Those people from the Blissful Sect.” She knew she could not keep that information from him because
Samuel would know everything once he questioned the man later.
The Blissful Sect ?
He furrowed his brows.
I've never heard of them.
“The Blissful Sect is very mysterious and keeps a low profile. There aren't many people who are aware of this organization's existence. They specifically target logistics businesses. Do you have any logistic-related business, Samuel?”
Kathleen had no other choice but to distract Samuel.
She could not let him know about her dealings with the Blissful Sect.
Otherwise, he would adopt a more extreme personality.
“Are you telling me that the Blissful Sect is targeting my logistics business?” Samuel knitted his brows.
Kathleen nodded. “Can you let go of me? I'm getting very uncomfortable.”
Samuel loosened his grip and backed away.
Kathleen sat up on the bed.
Click!
He cuffed her to the headboard.
She was dumbfounded.
“Get some good rest.” Samuel lowered his head and pecked her on her forehead.
D*mn it!
Kathleen was furious.
“Samuel, you *sshole!” she snarled.
He grinned at the sight of her exploding with rage.
Kathleen was stunned.
“Kate, your growth in the past year astonishes me. From utilizing poison to mastering how to use a gun. My little girl is getting scarier.” Samuel caressed her soft and tender cheek.
She stared at him stiffly. “Were you putting up an act, Samuel?”
Samuel wore a meaningful smile.
“Would they have shown themselves if I hadn't put up an act? Would you have told me the truth?”
Kathleen was stumped.
“The Blissful Sect, huh?” Samuel leaned down to kiss her neck and lips. “I will personally destroy the organization which had kept your whereabouts hidden for a year.”
She trembled all over.
“Samuel!” she growled.
He kissed her lips forcefully, rendering Kathleen helpless.
She finally understood Samuel was merely luring his prey in the past few days.
Not to mention, his plan was a huge success because he had successfully attracted his prey.
“You told me you'd never lie to me!”
Kathleen said to him angrily.
“I did not lie to you. Do you think I was really oblivious to someone aiming at me with a sniper rifle the other day?” Samuel's face was perfectly handsome.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
“Katie, I did not trick you. I was setting those people up. I captured Nicolette because I wanted to lure them out. However, you were very persistent in following us, so I had to detain you as well,” he explained.
“Samuel, you better don't return my freedom. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson!” She glared at him. “Perhaps I should give you my Academy Awards trophy, since your acting skills are on par with Hollywood standards!”
“I'll offer you my life after I deal with the Blissful Sect.” He turned on his heels and left.
Kathleen sat on the bed and sighed.
He's indeed the formidable Samuel
Macari. I need to be so careful when going against him. D*mn it’. I should not have gone easy on him.
Nonetheless, she was still mad.
Kathleen realized the Blissful Sect had been targeting Samuel since a year ago.
That old b*stard had fooled her, and that woman was most probably a member of the Blissful Sect.
Kathleen tried to force herself to calm down.
It seems like the Blissful Sect is targeting Samuel for a different reason than the one I have in mind. No, this can't do! I need to go and listen to the questions Samuel will ask them.
