Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen: I hate cats

Minzhe was stunned. Who is this Shi Cho and what could possibly motivate her to help this monster? Jin Lei would never get close to a woman, he made that very clear. Jin favored killing women over anything else. He enjoyed watching women squirm from absolute fear. He especially loved how sensitive women were. The feel of their soft flesh under his hands. You can pull their hair and they cry. Smash their toes in and they scream. Rip their nails off and they sob. Cut bits of the flesh of and watch them beg. Jin Lei was a psychopath and was a stain in existence that should never have happened and now he was focused on Zhi Ruo. That poor girl didn't even have a clue of the enemy she unknowingly made.

What Minzhe couldn't understand was why Jin Lei was purposely walking straight up to his target in such a busy place. He had many opportunities to have killed her and left by now, why is he playing with her. Could he have a different motive?

"Well," Minzhe speculated, "at least for the moment Jin has a weakness. Shi Cho." Minzhe didn't dare go head to toe with the legendary dragon of the Crane Academy but maybe if he played this right he could use Shi Cho as a pawn to stall until boss arrived. This allowed minzhe to feel like he had a slight advantage.

Minzhe abandoned the drunken man and headed straight to the bar behind Zhi Ruo and Shi Cho.

Minzhe and Jin got there around the same time. Mr. Min pored his own drink from the bar behind them and pretended to admire the cheetah who appeared to have its eyes set on him. "I hate cats," Minzhe whispered. The cheetah gave a low growl as if he had understood. "Hell no, "Minzhe almost choked on his drink, It can understand me?" The cheetah never took his eyes off him. Mr. Min subconsciously took a step back and unintentionally stepped right into Shi Cho.

"How dare you bump into me," the once sweet voice shouted. She looked at the culprit and instantly shut her mouth. She didn't know the man before her but she knew the designer of his outfit. Mr. Min being the metrosexual that he was, was dressed in a one of a kind, specially tailored men's suit, crafted by the world-renowned fashion designer Vera von Bechet. This designer was one of the hardest designers to order from. Only the wealthiest of people could afford such apparel.

How could such a person, who could afford a one of a kind Vera Von outfit be at her party? Her angry voice and stormy eyes quieted down. She took in the scene in front of her and understood the man had been startled by her centerpiece. The cheetah's eyes had still not left Minzhe, not even for a second.

"Oh my. My little cat hasn't scared you, has it?" Shi's greedy little eyes were taking in every inch of the man in front of her.

Next, to Shi Cho, Jin Lei had made his first move on Zhi Ruo.

Thanks to Shi, he already knew she had an interest in cars. He easily sparked a conversation that the two seemed to be enjoying.

Nearby the K-pop star, Jin Hyun was making his way around the room singing his latest hit song 'Dream baby'. Dozens of fan girls surrounded him. He danced around happily until his eyes fell on Zhi Ruo. Jin Hyun had never seen this woman before and the mystery around her was intriguing him. The only thing wrong with her was that an average man with a gold jacket was daring to hit on her. Jin Hyun's arrogance couldn't allow that. The women with wild silver hair and beautifully sad eyes was the pick of the room and no one could have her but him, especially if the competition was a nobody.
