Da Dong and Da Nan had very awkward expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to say anything. After all, the person standing in front of them was the top female killer and the fourth most ruthless person in Country M. In front of Bella, the two of them were indeed nothing.
“Then I’ll go with what you say.” After saying that, Bella took out something that looked like a gold coin from her pocket. It was engraved with beautiful patterns and there was a huge spider pattern in the middle. There also seemed to be a rose pattern on the spider’s back.
Bella placed this thing in Qiao Mei’s palm and said, “You can pin it anywhere on your clothes. Don’t ever take it off.”
“What is this?” Qiao Mei asked curiously as she fiddled with the badge.
“You can think of it as a representation of me. If someone wants to harm you, they will think again when they see this badge,” Bella explained.
Bella ran an assassination organization and the assassins were all women. They did not care about being good or bad, kind or evil. As long as the price was high enough, they would accept the job. They only had one rule and the rule was that they did not kill women.
This organization was nicknamed “Black Widow” by the rest of the criminal organizations in Country M. This was because generally, female black widow spiders would eat the male spiders to supplement their nutrition. Moreover, the female black widow spider was known to be very beautiful.
“Alright, I’ll remember that.” Qiao Mei gave Da Dong and Da Nan a look. The two of them went out of the meeting room to wait for Qiao Mei and she took out the ginseng juice from her bag.
“What’s this?” Bella asked.
“You’re so nice to me, but 1 don’t have anything to offer you in return. This is a medicine which my grandfather developed. If you’re ever fatally wounded or poisoned, it can help you. You can use it on your wounds and you can also drink it,” Qiao Mei said.
“A cure for all kinds of poisons and illnesses. Is there really such a thing in the world?” Bella asked as she looked at the small green bottle in her hand.
“It’s not that amazing. It can just buy you more time to rush to the hospital. It’s not as magical as you describe,” Qiao Mei said embarrassedly.
If she had known that Bella would give her such a all-powerful badge, she would have prepared a bottle of 10,000-year-old ginseng juice for Bella. The 1,000-year-old ginseng juice could only heal wounds quickly and detoxify part of any poison.
Seeing that Bella was still hesitant, Qiao Mei immediately said, “It’s fine even if you don’t believe me! This is something passed down from my ancestors.
It’s normal for others to be skeptical.”
“l have full trust in whatever you give me. I’m just wondering where I should keep this thing,” Bella said.
“You can use a necklace and wear it like a pendant,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at Bella’s unadorned neck.
After hesitating for a moment, Bella took a thin chain, wrapped it around the bottle a few times and wore it around her neck. She asked, “Does it look good like this?”
“Of course it looks good!” Qiao Mei looked at the time and said, “l have to go.
I’ll come and visit you again soon! You must think of me often!”
“Alright, you must let me know before you come the next time. I’ll bring you to have fun around the entire Sky City,” Bella said in a gentle tone.
“It’s a deal!” After saying that, Qiao Mei went back with Da Dong and Da Nan. Bella stood on the balcony and watched Qiao Mei until she completely disappeared from sight into the alley.
Jack walked up to Bella from behind her. He looked at her neck and teased, “That young lady must have some kind of charm to be able to make you wear a necklace.’
“Really? Maybe it’s because I want to wear one,” Bella said with a sigh.
Bella never wore a necklace. Her main concern was that in a fight, the enemy could grab her necklace and lock it tightly around her throat. Those few seconds could make the difference between life and death.
Qiao Mei went back to pack her things and then to the airport to take a flight back to the town. Her car in the airport parking lot was already very dusty, bearing testimony to how long she had been away.
“So you still know how to come back! Why don’t you just stay out and not come back!” Xia He said unhappily as she stood in the living room with an apron on and pointed at Qiao Mei.
“You sound like you’re scolding your husband for not coming home,” Qiao Mei said.
“If Deng Fan is like you! I’d have beaten him up long ago! I will break his legs! Make sure he can’t go out and fool around!” Xia He said agitatedly..
