Lazily Yours.

When Lyca walked out of the passage, she immediately noticed the car that was waiting for them a few meters away from the secret door. She looked back and noticed that the door were actually covered with plants to camouflage it. But, she didn't have the time to even relax. The sound of another car approached the area made her frowned. A few men went out of the car. 

She narrowed her eyes at Zhang Zhi. Her initial suspicion about a traitor was indeed true. Someone must have known about this passage. Someone close to her parents.

"Cousin…" Zhang Zhi beamed at her. He was wearing a dark blue tactical suit, a gun was holstered on the right side of his hip. "Where are you going? I heard you tried to poison my grandfather. Are you perhaps running away? I mean... guilty people run."

Lyca's eyes immediately darted towards the four tall men surrounding Zhang Zhi. If her calculations were right, these people were from the Zhang Family. Lyca side-eyed Shen Qui as if silently sending him a signal. She knew his eyes were glued on her face was he immediately noticed the small action. Shen Qui gave a short nod, his jaws clenched. The Glock on his waist was loaded and ready. One-step and these people were dead. His right leg took a single step back.

"Come on cousin… I'm sure you don't want to gather any attention right? I mean… this place is near a village, yes?" Zhang Zhi taunted, his eyes were full of ridicule. "Just come with us. We are not here to hurt you. Everyone just wanted to talk... like normal people. We don't really need to fight." In reality, Zhang Zhi was actually itching to fight against Lyca. His older brother told him about her skills and he wanted to personally test it.

"Move," Lyca said. She calmly put her hands on her hips where a row of knives was neatly tucked. As much as possible, she didn't want to hurt anyone. Of course, she wouldn't bother killing people either but that would mean... using her energy.

"Who are you trying to scare?" Zhang Zhi snorted. "Did you really think you can escape from my family? Are you insane? Even if you escape, we can always use your parents and held them as hostages then we can— " Zhang Zhi didn't continue his words when he felt a small ache on his shoulder. He immediately lowered his head and widened his eyes at the knife that stabbed through his left arm. "You— " He didn't even notice her throw a knife towards him. He was about to say something when the loud sound of a gun echoed.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Zhang Zhi trembled when he noticed that the men next to him were slowly falling. "Hey! Hey! What are you doing?" He couldn't help but scream in panic. But Zhang Zhi had no time to think about them now. All he could think was the fact that his arms are turning numb. Without having second thoughts, his hand reached out to his own gun.

*Swooosh.*

This time, the sound of the knife dancing through the air was much clearer. Zhang Zhi didn't know if it was because of his adrenaline or Lyca deliberately threw it slower. He could only flinched when the knife hit his right leg. He staggered, fear flashed in his eyes. "You— I am still a Huang! Are you really going to hurt me?" His face had now turned so pale, his voice quivering.

"You know…" Lyca uttered in a soft voice as she walked towards him. "I always thought… I had been too kind." She took another step, the sound of branches and twigs cracking beneath her boots filled the air. "So, I will tell you three mistakes that warranted your death."

"You— " Zhang Zhi tried to use his right hand to grab the gun but another knife impaled on his right arm, making him howl in pain. "What are you doing!?"

"First… you showed up," Lyca said. She was now a few feet away from Zhang Zhi. "Second, you threatened to hurt my father and mother. Never use them against me." She then tilted her head, enjoying the fear in Zhang Zhi's face. Seeing the man in pain seemed to give her enough pleasure, she wanted to giggle. Bloodthirst soon covered her orbs. "And third… I don't like your face." She stopped when she was only a foot away from Zhang Zhi who was already trembling on the ground.

"No— NO! Don't get close! You are not allowed to kill me! The — I am someone from the Zhang Family! The Long Family is behind our back! If you touch a strand of my AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed when Lyca suddenly twisted the knife on his leg. "Stop! Stop!"

"Eh?" Lyca's eyes darted towards the liquid flowing from Zhang Zhi's crotched. "How boring." She chuckled. "You actually peed because of a little pain?" A snort escaped her lips. "Let me tell you something else…" Lyca bent her knees and crouched in front of the wounded Zhang Zhi. "Your mother framed me. Now… she would have to watch you suffer."

"What— What do you mean?"

"Simple. I am a very nice person. So… I won't kill you." She grinned but he didn't miss the sinister glint in her eyes. Then she added, "If they won't arrive here… in thirty minutes… you will die. Not from the wounds but from the poison that laced the first knife. Your mother will watch as your leg would slowly turn black. You know… just like what she did to our grandfather? And third… the knife on your right arms… would stop your body from producing more sperms. It will shrink your manhood and make you impotent."

"You— "Nice person? Lyca was actually claiming she was a nice person? This fate is worse than death!

"Now… don't faint. I will remove my knives. Don't worry, I didn't hit any major arteries so you won't really die of blood loss."

"No— No— No! Please Lyca… that would…"

"Stop begging." She hissed and removed the knife on his left arm. Zhang Zhi's painful howls soon followed. "See? You didn't faint. Such a good boy. I hope mommy dearest would be happy to see you alive." She then used his shirt to wipe the knives clean. "Tell your mother this was her fault. And… I will come back to ruin her."

"You are an evil incarnate!" Zhang Zhi forced the words out of his mouth. He clenched his jaws as sweat trickled his back and forehead.

"Nah…" Lyca shrugged. The smell of blood, the fear, and the painful expression that Zhang Zhi is giving her, were making her smile. "Think about it. The person who sent you here was the evil one. They knew that Shen Qui and I were capable of killing and yet they still sent a young master like you when they can send an expert to fight against us." She snorted. "Someone wanted you dead, Zhang Zhi boy." Her voice was soft, the exact opposite of the meaning behind her words. "Someone wanted you and the Zhang Family to suffer. I wonder who could that be?" She then winked at him and stood.

"I'll see you again Zhang Zhi boy." She chuckled and started walking towards the car. "I will definitely see everyone again." He heard her say.
