Chapter 998 967: The Holy Virgin
Every word from the woman was like a hammer striking Raphael's chest, and the long nails slowly pierced his heart because of that hammer. Even though that heart had countless such small holes and the blood had already run dry, it still couldn't stop this broken heart. So it could only beat, beating whenever it needed to.
Raphael yanked at the woman's hair. If he could, he would've ended her life with one stroke. Perhaps then, he wouldn't have to live so exhaustedly.
"Raphael!" The woman lightly pushed him away, indifferent about whether her body was clothed. In front of this man, there was nothing he hadn't seen; he had the desire but not the courage. Forever living under the feet of that superior man. "Shouldn't we talk calmly? If you continue with this mindset, I think our cycle will never end." The woman wrapped herself tightly with a sheet, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently. Her mood today couldn't be worse.
Raphael rudely snatched the cigarette from her hand and threw it into the ashtray. "I hate women smoking!"
Haha! The woman smiled charmingly, sitting on the bed with her knees bent. "I've already taken care of Fick for you. I didn't come to Palermo to work for you, I hope you understand. The last weapons, I reminded you to hand them over to Nicholas. His relations with the Xiao Family have fractured over this. If not for Francis Nubia Genovis's involvement, Xiao Lin would've become a pawn in negotiations between Nicholas and the Xiao Family. This is not a situation I wish to see."
"Ha!" Raphael let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Adam, are you worried about my brother Nicholas or that Xiao boy? I think you wouldn't be worried about me!"
Slap! The woman acted faster than her words. In front of the killer machine that everyone in Sicily trembles to hear about, the woman wasn't far behind. If someone in this world could slap Raphael apart from Nicholas, she would be the second and the last.
"Raphael, I'm ultimately Nicholas's wife!"
"Yes! My dear sister-in-law, when you realize this, please remember your identity. If my brother finds out you have the slightest compassion for that Xiao boy, I think he'd undoubtedly kill that person."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The woman's eyes were filled with anger.
"The weapons aren't with me." Raphael laughed it off, changing the subject. "I wasn't the one who hijacked the weapons. Someone wants your little lover's life, but I can assure you it wasn't Nicholas's intention." The woman stared intently at Raphael as if assessing the credibility of his words. "Adam Gadmon, do you know why the Gadamon Clan Leader gave you a name identical to God's? The blood of the Saintess is pure and unpolluted. You're the only lifeblood of the Blood Race. Ever since the world began hunting your rare race, how much effort has your father put into preserving a pure-blooded individual like you? The women chosen by Godfathers through intermarriage are not major family alliances; they find pure-blooded individuals that can continue. The last Godfather was somehow convinced only the pure blood of the Saintess can maintain Sicily's undefeated myth. You, this pure virgin..." The woman raised her hand again, but this time Raphael grabbed her wrist before she could act. "Don't think you can hit me a second time."
"Pure virgin?" Adam Gadmon laughed as if hearing a ridiculous term. "I'm just a woman like you who can kill without blood, a woman whose hands are stained with the scent of blood. You flatter me too much."
"Adam, Nicholas can't keep you forever in 'Black Crow,' and you can't have any results with that Xiao boy. Come back! Nicholas has been waiting. While he hasn't yet acted, you still have a chance."
"I'm not anyone's possession. Even if the decisions made by my clan leader, my father, are not what I want." Adam Gadmon shook her head, her black hair swaying. "Nicholas gave Xiao Lin three months to deal with Wang Zhantian, and I have my duties. Raphael, don't meddle between them. I don't know who's backing Wang Zhantian, and Nicholas is right. Stay out of it, no matter which side. That's what I can tell you. Xiao Lin is not as simple as you see, even Lucifer has some reservations about him. Are you confident you can win against Lucifer?"
Adam Gadmon cupped Raphael's face, drawing close to him, her nose touching his as she tenderly called his name, "Raphael, I know you love your brother. Is it necessary to involve all of Sicily for Wang Zhantian? Of course, some will seize this opportunity to aim for Nicholas's position. Do you want to eliminate those dissidents for him, but must you make yourself a clown, bouncing around the family as a villain? Return to Nicholas's side, he needs you. I'm nothing more than a woman with bloodstained hands, and I can't possibly forsake the Xiao Family, forsake Xiao Lin."
"You love that man." Hearing Adam Gadmon's answer firsthand, Raphael struggled to control his emotions from erupting at that moment. After destroying everything destructible, he pressed Adam beneath him, his palm roughly exploring her prominent curves, his right leg wedging between hers, not knowing what it meant to cherish. He only knew how to demand. At this moment, he was like a relentless beast, unwilling to stop until achieving his goal, burying his face in her neck, inhaling her scent, almost like a drug he couldn't quit.
Lying on the bed, Adam Gadmon revealed a peculiar smile. Raphael overlooked such a smile, only seeing deprivation and destruction in his eyes.
Breaking through the last barrier, without any resistance, Raphael thrust his waist, easing his body and strength in the tight embrace. The acquisition was unprecedentedly arduous. In countless dream returns, it had never been as real as now!
He finally obtained this woman, but only realized he had done something irreparable when he saw that tear at the corner of her eye. It was too late to regret now. Adam Gadmon's peculiar smile widened as she pushed the man off her. The stark fluid trailing down her thigh was shocking. (To be continued.
