: Extortion Out of Convenience
The young girl was stunned at that moment, her face one of pure disbelief, unable to accept as fact that she had been overpowered by a little beggar who stole the dagger from her and that she had been caught.
What shocked her even more was that the little beggar had been so brazen as to have taken advantage of her before so many pairs of eyes!
This niece of mine has been spoilt and have gotten too used to her wilful ways. If she has offended you in any way, I implore for the Young Master to forgive her.
A deep voice filled with inspiring awe sounded and Feng Jiu raised her eyes to look at them, her eyes narrowed.
The one who had spoken had naturally been the middle aged man. He had spoken not in threat, but in apology. The fact that he had been able to suppress the rage in his heart and maintain a composed expression despite his displeasure to speak to her in such an amicable manner was really surprising!
So when used to being spoilt and wilful means you can indiscriminately take the lives of others? If I had not been quick to dodge, I am guessing I would have reported to the King of Hades already.
She glared icily at the middle aged man, her mouth curled up in a mirthless smile: To not reciprocate in kind would be rude. Actually, I should really repay the pretty lady back. As she spoke, the dagger pressed against the young girl neck was pushed down a notch, and a drop of blood flowed out, glaringly red against the fair white skin.
Ow!
The young girl snapped back to consciousness from the sudden pain. As the dagger was pressed against her neck, she stiffened her body and did not dare move an inch, her face filled with fear and panic to say: You you dont do anything rash!
Opps! Really sorry. I got frightened by the arrow you shot at me earlier and my hands are still trembling. Seems like I have made you bleed!
Watching the scene before him, the middle aged mans face darkened. His previously amicable expression quickly faded. He stated at Feng Jiu and asked in a deep voice: What do you really want?
