"You people can't just barge in my territory like this." The bulky man on his knees snarled as he glared at Ru's impassive face.
With her one foot on the chair, she was playing with a beautiful knife. They were in an old factory. Adia and Connor were keeping that man kneeling on the floor while the rest of the building was filled with her own subordinates.
"Master," Jack came to bow and said, "We found the members of Team Seven. They were locked up in the basement."
Ru shifted her eyes slightly to look at the group of four behind him. All of them looked half-dead due to the blows they must have suffered. Feeling her cold gaze, the four of them felt like chills were running down their spine.
They knew their master hated dealing with unnecessary things and saving them was considered unnecessary but since Ru was a loyal person she would never leave her own people at the mercy of others. Being at her mercy was a different matter altogether.
"So, these rats are your people." The bulky man sneered in contempt.
Ru turned back to him and with the tip of her blade under his chin, she lifted his face up.
"You touched my people..." The people who knew her felt the anger behind that one sentence yet that man stayed ignorant and oblivious.
"I did! So, what? I'll hit you worse than them, bastard!" The man snarled with malice in his voice.
'Tsk. Truly, ignorance is bliss.' Adia was feeling pity for the man who actually got the guts to call her master 'bastard'.
Ru's lips curled into an extremely cold and mirthless smile. "Do you know who I killed to become who I am today?" The man couldn't talk as Ru's green orbs were penetrating his strong defense. His body shuddered under her gaze. "I killed the person I once was." He gulped as he heard her answering her own question. "Do you think I'm being a hero by saving them? I'm not a champion fighting for justice. I simply kill the ones who dare to stand in my way."
For the sake of his pride, the man struggled to get up but when failed, he threatened her, "You can't kill me. The people above me are powerful. They won't let you off easily."
'Great! Now, he has a death wish. Fool, master hate threats!' Adia was cursing the man in her heart and even prayed for his soul to 'not-get-peace-even-in-hell'.
Sure enough, as Adia had expected, Ru's knife pressed on his neck as blood oozed out of it. He screamed in pain since she had cut an artery precisely. Trailing the blade down, Ru pressed the tip of the blade on his chest with a poker face.
His eyes widened in fear while Ru didn't enjoy his expression. She kicked the chair away and then that foot came down to kick the man's chin toppling him backward. Her leather shoes clad foot stepped on his ribs and she applied pressure.
"Crack!"
Even the bones breaking sound could be heard along with the man's howls that sounded more like a banshee. A screeching banshee to be precise.
"Lock him in his own basement." Ru's voice finally brought everyone back to her cold gaze. "And send these four fools to the hospital." Saying that she cleaned her blade and kept it back in her ankle wrap.
As she stepped out of the old building of the factory, she looked up at the morning sun. It was beautiful but she found it not very interesting since the next moment, a cigarette was lit between her lips.
"Master, should we kill him and his people?" Connor asked courteously standing at an arm's length.
"The artery I ruptured will kill him... But slowly with the blood loss." Connor's lips curled upward. He knew his master's antics very well. Ru would love to kill but she'll definitely do it in the excruciatingly painful way. That man's broken ribs and blood loss will give one hell of a lesson for threatening Alev Knight. "As for this place..." She took a drag of her cigarette before continuing, "Burn it."
"Yes, master!"
Since the people of Feng Group were involved in smuggling and human trafficking along with illegal acquirements of lands, she had no reason to show them mercy. But then again, she didn't have mercy to spare for useless thugs.
Outside in the car, Wu Dishi was waiting for her and when she settled in, he drove her straight to Joyous Homes Condominium building.
She had just stepped out of the car when she heard an overly enthusiastic voice calling her, "Oniisan!" Hearing that voice, Ru's impassive and cold aura was immediately dispersed leaving behind a warm and cordial smile.
