Chapter 989 957: No Cooperation Without Shared Principles
"Kill someone?" Hua Qingyi froze for a moment, then his usually smiling eyes curved up. "Who do you want to kill?"
"Your friend, Xiao Lin!"
"Okay!"
The woman laughed! The man also laughed!
The woman became more enthusiastic! The man became more valiant!
Desire and demand! Enjoying it endlessly!
Most of Palermo's residences are built on a uniform height, two- or three-story buildings with independent courtyards, spiraling away from the commercial center, clean and tidy streets, a peaceful noise, the sound of children playing, and the figures of pets wrestling, showing the simplicity of the local customs.
As the bright moon quietly replaced the warmth of the sun, an overly conspicuous convertible sped down the street and stopped in front of a residence.
Hua Qingyi took off his glasses and went inside. Less than ten minutes later, he came out carrying a big bag, got into the sports car, and drove away. Watching the white Renault behind him maintain a certain distance through the rearview mirror, he smirked as he took a sharp turn and headed straight down. When night truly fell, he reached 'Wa Gang Nai,' parked his car in a residence, handed a stack of money to the owner, and walked towards the entrance of 'Wa Gang Nai' carrying his bag.
Actually, 'Wa Gang Nai' can be considered a beautiful area; the edges of the roads are planted with tropical shrubs, occasionally a few palm trees scattered amidst them, while on the other side, the houses were neatly arranged.
Blown by the sea breeze, Hua Qingyi's long hair danced in the wind, and his slender figure was stretched long by the streetlights. Women leaning against walls or lamp posts gave him seductive looks, making various provocative actions, and some attractive women boldly approached him, directly quoting a price and presenting certificates proving their bodily health without any venereal diseases.
Here, it's open, and it's considered a legitimate job to sell themselves, provided they have the relevant documentation, identification proof, health certificates, proof of local residence, and many other formalities.
Avoiding this notorious street, Hua Qingyi ascended to a high point, overlooking 'Wa Gang Nai' beneath his feet, quickly running towards a two-story house to his right.
"You're here?" As Hua Qingyi climbed through the window, Xiao Lin was already waiting for him; he'd been waiting for Hua Qingyi to appear all along. Sitting in the chair, waiting for him to open the door, the moment he came in.
"You knew I would come?" Hua Qingyi spoke coldly, a hint of hostility added to their lack of mutual understanding.
Xiao Lin focused his gaze on Hua Qingyi's hand and smirked. "Here to kill me?"
"Someone wants you dead, and I think you being alive would hinder me from killing Wang Zhantian!" Hua Qingyi placed the bag on the table, aimed the gun at Xiao Lin's head. "Where's that short fellow? He's not with you?"
"Charles? He went out to get dinner, you can sit down and have a meal first before you kill me!" Xiao Lin kicked a nearby chair with his left foot, making it clatter.
"No need! The beauties are still waiting for me."
The bullet burst out of its shell, Hua Qingyi's eyes blurred for a second, Xiao Lin had already flashed out of the chair, the room plunged into darkness.
"I know you're still in the room! As long as you don't obstruct me from killing Wang Zhantian, I'll spare your life!" Hua Qingyi shouted. "We've been brothers once, if you team up with me, we can still be brothers."
"From the moment you came to kill me, there's no going back!" An icy voice arose behind Hua Qingyi, accompanied by the sound similar to his voice was a short dagger that was right against Hua Qingyi's neck. "Your thoughts may be quick, but you're not quicker than me."
"Is that so?" Hua Qingyi was indifferent; he stepped out with his right foot and rotated 180 degrees next to the dagger, ending up face-to-face with Xiao Lin. "The dagger may be special, but compared to a knife, it doesn't have a sharp edge; you should point the sharp end at me, then I'll have no escape!"
While talking, Hua Qingyi struck Xiao Lin's abdomen and chest with two palms, widening the distance between them. "Xiao Lin, your biggest weakness is your softness."
After striking out four consecutive palms, Hua Qingyi rolled on the ground, grabbed the fallen gun, and fired a bullet at Xiao Lin's hiding spot. Just at that moment, a gray shadow pounced from behind, feeling the weight from behind, Hua Qingyi didn't dare to be careless; he flipped over to the left and squatted on the ground, looked towards where he was previously, a tall animal slowly emerged, its open fangs dripping with shiny liquid, its gray-white fur appeared eerie and ghostly under the moonlight.
It roared at Hua Qingyi and pounced in his direction. "Ya!" Xiao Lin let out a sharp roar, his figure spun in the air, landing back to his original spot, making a reluctant whimper from his throat.
"Hua Qingyi, considering we were once brothers, I don't want to kill you today, but there will certainly be no next time." Xiao Lin's face slowly appeared out of the darkness, his already pale skin under the moonlight matched eerily with the animal beside him.
Hua Qingyi pointed the gun at the animal next to Xiao Lin, his left hand rested on the window sill, while his right hand fingered the trigger. "If you dare to kill him, I'll end up taking your head."
The bullet shot out, aiming for the gap between the pet's legs, the ricochet cutting its thick fur on the forelimbs, blood oozed out, Ya roared again, and Hua Qingyi easily jumped out of the window onto the street. "This is my courtesy for it attacking me, next time I won't be so lenient."
"Don't chase!" Xiao Lin stopped the person beside him, silently staring at Hua Qingyi's distant figure.
"Boss, what happened?" Yelü Shou was glad he arrived today and was shocked when Hua Qingyi aimed the gun at Xiao Lin; if Ya hadn't jumped out, he would have acted when Hua Qingyi turned.
"Different paths cannot be planned together!" Xiao Lin waved his hand, sat back in the chair, indicating he didn't want to continue the topic. "Did you bring my precious box?"
"It's all here!"
Xiao Lin beckoned Ya over, who limped and placed its front paws on Xiao Lin's lap, sticking its tongue out. "Thankfully, it's just fur damage, you have the blood I fed you, it'll heal quickly on its own." At the suddenly docile wolf resembling a large dog, Yelü Shou exhaled helplessly, he certainly had his shares of struggle with this large creature along the way.
"How did you show up here, don't you need to stay seated over there?" Xiao Lin patted Ya's head; seeing it relaxed him considerably.
"There's news, but it's bad news!"
For this Dark Ruler to come personally, it seems the news will be quite astonishing to him. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
