Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Repaying Kindness with Resentment
"Why would Andrei do this?"
Isabella’s brows relaxed and furrowed intermittently, pondering for a moment before she spoke again.
"We ’Wrathful Beauties’ take money to kill, never questioning the client’s motives. However... I think with Miss Isabella’s intelligence, it shouldn’t be difficult to guess Andrei’s purpose, right?"
Isabella stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, saying, "Huo Niao is my capable assistant and an important member of the ’Statue of Liberty.’ If you had succeeded in killing Huo Niao, it would have been like losing my left and right arms, delivering a heavy blow to the ’Statue of Liberty’..."
As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head, her gaze fixed on Linghu Baimei. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "Did Andrei ask you ’Wrathful Beauties’ to assassinate only Huo Niao?"
"Of course not!"
"Andrei gave us a list with many important names from your ’Statue of Liberty.’ For each successful assassination, Andrei promised to pay us a sum of money... Huo Niao was just one of them!"
"After killing off the important members of ’Statue of Liberty’ one by one, I would be left alone, and then Andrei can concentrate his forces to eliminate me. This way, the ’Statue of Liberty’ would be finished... Haha, what ambition, Andrei! So grand!"
Isabella sneered, her face devoid of any actual mirth.
"It’s just a pity that our assassination attempt failed!"
Linghu Baimei sighed.
"If Sardin’s leader and I were not here today, perhaps you would have succeeded! With your strength, plus the dozens of subordinates you brought, Huo Niao definitely would not stand a chance!"
Isabella looked at the despondent Linghu Baimei, her face tinged with mockery, and said, "You had enough power; you just lacked luck!"
With a miserable smile, Linghu Baimei said, "Victors beget kings, losers are but outlaws. Miss Isabella, I’ve said all there is to say, what do you plan to do with me?"
"I think handing you over to Huo Niao for judgment would be most fitting!"
Saying so, she no longer paid attention to Linghu Baimei, turning around to converse with Huo Niao.
Knowing that Linghu Baimei and her people had come to assassinate her, Huo Niao was furious, walking over to Linghu Baimei like a malevolent deity, grabbing her up and dragging her to an open space outside the villa. She raised her hand for a downward strike at the top of Linghu Baimei’s head.
Previously subdued by Isabella, Linghu Baimei had no power to resist and felt a torrent of fierce Fire Primordial Qi, accompanied by waves of heat, plummeting towards her head and felt utterly hopeless, closing her eyes to await death.
Just then, a gentle yet powerful force suddenly surged in, sending Huo Niao, who possessed Earth Level Perfection strength, flying several meters back.
Linghu Baimei sensed this unexpected power as well, her phoenix eyes widening in surprise. Looking over, she saw two figures, one black and one white, leaping over the villa’s high wall and landing beside her.
"Sister... sister?"
Upon recognizing the figure cloaked in white, Linghu Baimei was stunned, and then her gaze shifted to the figure in black, she exclaimed in disbelief, "You... how come it’s you?!"
"Little sister!"
The white figure sighed.
"Miss Linghu Baimei, here we meet again!"
The shadowy figure smiled faintly.
The two people who appeared beside Linghu Baimei were none other than Fang Bai and Linghu Qian Jiao.
Fang Bai had previously informed Linghu Qian Jiao of Linghu Baimei’s whereabouts. Soon after, Linghu Qian Jiao arrived, and after joining forces, they approached the villa. Fang Bai, using his Divine Sense, saw that Huo Niao was about to kill Linghu Baimei and intervened just in time to save her.
"Fang Bai?"
Seeing Fang Bai appear here, both Isabella and Sardin’s expressions changed.
At the previous "World Meta-Human Organization Elite Competition," the Huaxia "Dragon Guard" team, led by Fang Bai, had made a splash and taken the crown. Isabella and Sardin had been thoroughly convinced of Fang Bai’s strength and had not expected him to suddenly show up here.
"Miss Isabella, Mr. Sardin, Mr. Huo Niao, what a pleasure to meet you all!"
With a casual pat on Linghu Baimei’s body, Fang Bai restored her freedom. Then, he approached the trio of Isabella and bowed with a smile, saying, "It’s been a while. You all still carry your grace!"
While Fang Bai was speaking with Isabella and the others, Linghu Qian Jiao walked over to her younger sister Linghu Baimei and whispered a few words to her. Linghu Baimei, massaging her still slightly sore arm, looked at Fang Bai with a complex expression, her gaze flickering, unclear whether it was resentment or hate.
"May I know what brings Mr. Fang to honor us with his presence?"
Isabella knew of Fang Bai’s formidable strength. She, along with Sardin and Huo Niao, might not stand a chance against him. With a thoughtful glance at Linghu Baimei, she asked lightly.
Fang Bai smiled, gesturing towards Linghu Baimei, and said, "This young lady is a friend’s sister. Therefore, I’m here to ask a favor of the three of you to let her go! As for any offense she may have caused you, I offer my apologies on her behalf."
"Fang Bai, don’t interfere in my matters! Don’t think that just because you saved me, I will be grateful! You killed many of my subordinates, and this account, I will settle with you sooner or later!"
No sooner had Fang Bai finished speaking than Linghu Baimei spat out angrily.
"Wrathful Beauties" had attempted to assassinate Fang Bai multiple times but was defeated by him, resulting in the loss of many skilled operatives which greatly impacted the organization’s assassin business. Therefore, Linghu Baimei harbored a sky-high grudge.
"Little sister, how can you act this way? If it weren’t for Fang Bai, you’d be dead already!"
Seeing her younger sister not only ungrateful but also glaring at Fang Bai angrily, Linghu Qian Jiao grabbed her arm and rebuked her softly.
"Better dead than this!"
Linghu Baimei, face filled with anger, shook off Linghu Qian Jiao’s hand, walked to one side, and said angrily, "Hmph, Linghu Qian Jiao, did you come here to gloat? For years, haven’t you always vied with me for the leadership of ’Wrathful Beauties’? Well now, my people are either dead or wounded, and I’m no longer a match for you! You must be delighted!"
"Little sister..."
Linghu Qian Jiao knew that her sister had a stubborn and rebellious personality, loved competing and cared greatly about face. Being caught by Isabella and then seen by herself must have been too much of an embarrassment, which caused her to become unreasonable. Linghu Qian Jiao sighed helplessly and did not bother to argue.
For Linghu Baimei, everyone present, including her sister Linghu Qian Jiao, was either a rival or an enemy, with no reason to stay. Knowing that since Fang Bai had intervened, she was likely spared her life, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She moved, intending to leap over the high wall and flee.
"Don’t rush off just yet!"
No sooner had Linghu Baimei made her move than she felt her arm tighten, already firmly grasped by Fang Bai, and her strength drained from her once again.
