Chapter 928: Broken In An Extremely Cruel Way
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
North Street, in an extremely remote courtyard.
At this moment, there was a man and a woman sunbathing in the courtyard. The woman was sitting in a wheelchair, her hands and feet drooping weakly, and there were extremely obvious scars on her wrists.
It was obvious that she had her hands and feet broken in an extremely cruel way.
Besides the fact that her hands and feet were terrifying, the woman’s originally bright and noble face now had a long scar across it.
It went all the way from the right side of her forehead to the bridge of her nose.
It destroyed the woman’s beautiful face in an extremely simple and violent way.
Even so, the woman’s every move did not show any signs of inferiority. She raised her head and looked at the kite that flew out of nowhere in the distance. The corners of her lips curled up into a perfect smile.
It was supposed to be a beautiful smile.
However, because of that scar, it gave off a strange and terrifying feeling.
Even the delicate and moving mole at the corner of her right eye appeared to be terrified at this moment.
…
Although this woman’s appearance was ruined, her facial features could still be vaguely recognized. There was no doubt that she was the high priest.
And the extremely young and handsome man who was helping her push the wheelchair was Jiang Xuecheng.
The high priest looked up in the direction of the kite and sighed.
“I want to fly a kite too.”
She had not flown a kite for an unknown period of time.
When the high priest was a young girl, she rarely considered these activities. Her sister, who was not good at anything, liked them very much.
The high priest reluctantly played with her sister a few times, but she did not participate. She just stood beside her sister and watched.
Once, the string of the green butterfly kite broke for some reason.
It fluttered over the eaves and flew toward the river on the other side.
The high priest thought that her sister would send someone to pick it up. After all, the green butterfly kite was made by her sister herself.
A lot of effort had been put into making it.
However, her sister did not send anyone.
The high priest would always remember how the girl who looked like her spoke to her in an almost naive tone.
‘If only I could fly out of this cage like that kite.’
‘Escape from this cage?!’
The high priest didn’t understand what her sister was thinking…
Their family was declining day by day, but in this generation, they had two gifted children. Logically speaking, they had a high chance of reaching the highest position in the God’s Palace.
At that time, the family had spent a lot of money and resources to nurture the two of them.
However, the elder sister had never put in much effort. She had even faintly revealed her desire to live a normal life.
The high priest could not understand this point.
In her opinion, people like her elder sister clearly only wanted to bear the current glory and wealth. However, she did not look like a coward who did not want to assume the slightest bit of responsibility.
It was not until later that the high priest personally fulfilled her sister’s wish.
Since this girl who was a few minutes older than her liked to live a free life, she gave her that kind of life.
She lied to the outside world that her sister was dead, but in reality, she had erased her memories and sent her to a place where no one would recognize her.
However, in order to fulfill her sister’s wish, the high priest also made her sister pay a moderate price.
The price was that one day, she would have one of her sister’s children…
The high priest had never thought of having an heir. Even with such advanced technology, she did not want to have a child with another man.
However, she had to have a “child,”even if she only used the child as a tool.
There was no other reason other than to consolidate her position.
The High Priest looked at the young man behind her. She had never seen the young man her sister married.
She only felt that the man and her sister stood side by side, looking much older. Moreover, her sister no longer had the appearance of a young person like herself. Wrinkles had already appeared on the corners of her eyes and brows.
This was the price of leaving the family and abandoning all power.
And that extremely ordinary man, in the high priest’s view, was completely unworthy of her sister.
Even if the high priest knew that old age was inevitable, just like her, even if it was not obvious in appearance, her body’s functions would still decline.
Now, the high priest could faintly see from the facial features of Jiang Xuecheng that the other party should have been a handsome young man when he was young.
But to be honest, Jiang Xuecheng was more like her sister.
Otherwise, her wouldn’t have such exquisite facial features.
Especially that pair of sparkling phoenix eyes.
They were almost exactly the same as her sister’s.
…
Perhaps it wasn’t a bad thing to have a child.
The high priest sighed in her heart. She didn’t know why, but she was now at the end of her rope.
The High Priest was very dissatisfied with the fact that Jiang Xuecheng had just ignored her. She immediately pouted at the kite in the sky.
“I said, I want to fly a kite. Why don’t you go and find one for me?”
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at the high priest indifferently and mercilessly exposed the high priest’s imagination.
“High Priest, do you think you can fly a kite with your current skill?”
The high priest was at a loss for words.
She lowered her head and glanced at the two scars on her wrists that were almost as long as a centipede.
Every time she saw these two scars and the terrifying marks on her ankles, the high priest would subconsciously clench her fingers, and her heart would tremble, as if there was a chill that seeped into her bones.
This was Fiennes’ “Masterpiece.” Seeing that the high priest was not tamed, he got someone to break her limbs.
She had never thought of that.
That this kind of thing would happen to her.
Even if she had done cruel things to others in the past, it was not much better than Fiennes.
But the high priest really felt that it was too painful. Every night when she recalled it in her dreams, there was a pain that made her want to commit suicide!
But it was not enough.
Before that, she must personally watch that heartless bastard Fiennes die in front of her!
Thinking of that man, the high priest’s face showed a trace of anger. She stared coldly at Jiang Xuecheng and subconsciously put on the airs of a high-ranking person like she used to be.
“I can’t fly a kite, so you fly it for me!”
The high priest’s voice was decisive and carried an aura that could not be defied.
However, when Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he did not have the slightest intention to move his feet. The corners of his lips subconsciously curled into a mocking smile.
“High Priest, are you still not clear about your current situation?”
The High Priest was stunned when she heard this. She glared at Jiang Xuecheng angrily.
“I asked you to save my Persian cat too previously, but you weren’t willing. Fine, I know that bringing that cat would indeed increase the risk. Then, I’m asking you to fly a kite for me now, and you also have to decline. What exactly can you do?”
Jiang Xuecheng stared at the high priest indifferently, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
“I didn’t save you to show off! High Priest, just tell me, where is the antidote to the CHK Virus No.3?”
