Chapter 14 - Chapter Fourteen: What Luck

Originally Jin Lei was furious that someone actually dared to hire him to kill such a lowly woman. It was all Jin Lei could do not to kill the man and torture him just to send a message for future clientele that he only take on missions of importants. That was until he heard the reason behind killing this Zhi Ruo person. And honestly, that reason fascinated him.

The mark was the woman of a top assassin.

This beautiful thing belonged to Tadashi Gao.

Jin Lei was astonished to find out his play toy, had managed to survive all those years ago.

What luck that fate had brought them back together again, even if it was just so he could meet Zhi Ruo, Jin happily thought. The sick and twisted Jin was pleased.

Jin found an odd interest in the girl once he laid eyes on her. He came to kill her. To make her suffer. To make Tadashi suffer. But now, Jin decided that that wouldn't be enough. She would now belong to him.

Jin looked at the women in front of him, breaking her would be easy and by the end of it, Zhi Ruo with obeying and follow him to the ends of the earth. What would Tadashi think of that? The very thought brought a sinister smile to his face.

Zhi Ruo didn't like what she saw. Behind this, man's eyes and sick smile was pure evil. She only saw it for a second but that second was enough. This man in front of her meant her harm. Instinctively Zhi took a step back and tried to signal Shi Cho but she seemed rather interested in a handsome man that had bumped into her earlier.

"Oh my. My little cat hasn't scared you, has it?"

Minzhe was stunned. Little cat, my ass lady. That's a damn full grown man-eater. Mr. Min took a breath and suddenly he was oozing with charm.

"No. The cheetah didn't frighten me, I only just made a deal with it, is all. See that beast had promised to help me get a women's attention."

"And in return," Shi asked with a seductive look. She was more than convinced she was the woman at this point. "You must know to make a deal with a beast there is always a price."

Minzhe was well too aware of that fact and instinctively shot a short look towards Zhi, who might be endangered of the worst beast of all.

Shi Cho saw the look the man gave Zhi. Jealousy took hold of little Shi Cho. It was a good thing then that Zhi Ruo would be dead soon, she laughed to her self. She felt better knowing that small fact and tried her best to keep the attention of the well-dressed man in front of her all to her self.
