Murong Ye curled the corner of his mouth into a light smile that contained enormous strength. His narrowed eyes were throwing off a dangerous dim light. Lisa and Fourth knew Murong Ye the best. Murong Ye"s look overwhelmed them silently, as their boss hadn"t showed that look for too long. Both of them lifted their eyes to look at Carl, showing sympathy for him. Carl seemed to have had a tough day. He deserved it! How dare he say that to the boss!
Carl raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Ye, carelessly giving him an ironic, contemptful smile. "Master Ye, don"t you think you are everyone"s master when others dare not fight with you? You should know that the bright period you are experiencing because of that event won"t last for life. Today, everything changed. You are just a has-been!"
Murong Ye lowered his eyes slightly. No one could see his expression now. They could only hear his frightening voice as if they were stationed in the icy lake at the bottom of the valley. "Oh? Really?"
Despite his great confidence, Carl couldn"t help shivering upon hearing Murong Ye"s words. However, to avoid being discouraged, Carl pretended to be calm and smiled. "Hahaha... Master Ye! Being blindly proud will only lead you to dying in an embarra.s.sing manner."
Murong Ye, who didn"t get influenced by Carl at all, declared, "Well then, let"s wait and see!"
Stirred up, Carl banged on the table, making the first strike. He had thought that his people would have rushed in by now, yet nothing had happened.
A horrific, blood-curdling smile appeared at the corner of Murong Ye"s mouth again. He curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, making Lisa understand at once. Lisa clapped her hands and soon, dozens of super-bodyguards broke in.
However, Carl clearly saw his people lying on the ground through the open gate. Terrified, he turned around to watch Murong Ye, who was maintaining his countenance while sitting on the chair.
Murong Ye"s face revealed nothing but chillness, sending forth an icy feeling of death, as if he was a cold-blooded animal whose emotions wouldn"t change for anything.
Murong Ye"s guards had been chosen from top fighters, so one guard could defeat ten of Carl"s guards. This was not an exaggeration. That was also what Carl felt most scared of. He thought that only a few dozens of Murong Ye"s guards were not enormous enough to scare him. However, he had actually thought too little of Murong Ye or maybe too highly of himself. Carl thought that he had managed to reach the top in America, yet it turned out that he was still too weak compared to the Murong family.
Nevertheless, he became confident again upon thinking of the boss behind him. Carl curled up the corner of his mouth, hiding his cruelty in his eyes.
"Master Ye, you must think too little of me. You thought that was all?"
"Oh..."
Murong Ye responded with a sneer, upsetting Carl even more. Carl, who looked gloomy, pressed the alarm beneath the table silently.
All of a sudden, the shrill alarm rang out in the whole underground casino. Everyone tensed up, and many gamblers ran around nervously. The casino seemed to get completely evacuated in a minute. Only Murong Ye, Carl and their people were left behind.
Carl"s people guarded every door of the underground casino, while some of them even broke into the office.
Carl picked up a cigar casually. After lighting it up, he stood up with a smile and approached the table. He leaned against the table lightly, cigar smoke spurting from his mouth and filling the whole office in a second.
The smoke made Murong Yunxi uncomfortable. When a mouthful of smoke approached her, she couldn"t help coughing heavily, furrowing her eyebrows like a Chinese fried dough twist.
Gong Yu had a cold expression on his face as he ma.s.saged Murong Yunxi"s back. His beautiful amber eyes turned into a deadly battlefield. The power he sent forth made him look like a bloodthirsty emperor no weaker than Murong Ye.
Carl felt astonished again. He had thought that Gong Yu was only a n.o.body upon seeing him. However, he now looked scary.
Murong Ye didn"t raise his eyes as he ordered in a cold, low-pitched voice, "Put it out."
Carl was about to put his cigar out unconsciously. However, he realized that he had no reason to follow Murong Ye"s order. Upon finishing his action, Carl"s face turned into a mask of anger. "Master Ye! Are you ordering me?"
Lisa sneered. "If you"ve done it, then why must you ask? It"s meaningless!"
Carl flushed suddenly and looked sharply at Lisa. "Lisa, did you forget that your problem was solved thanks to my help?"
"Oh, funny! Do you think that I wouldn"t have been able to address it without you? Everyone knows that you volunteered to help to obtain a connection with the Murong family. Everyone knows that you could win that business over David only by having a relationship with the Murong family!"
When Carl"s thoughts were revealed by Lisa, he got even angrier. His old face became as ugly as it possibly could.
"Alright, stop bulls.h.i.tting!" Murong Ye interrupted them simply.
Lisa nodded at once and said, "Tell us, Carl. Do you want it over quickly, or...?"
A bad feeling welled in Carl"s heart before he asked nervously, "What do you mean?"
"My! So dawdle! What a waste of time! Let"s start now!"
"Wait!" Carl interrupted Lisa. Although his people might have reached the headquarters after the alarm rang, it could take a lot of time to send people over from the headquarters.
Carl had some people here. However, it seemed that his people had no advantage over Murong Ye"s super-bodyguards. Lisa, Fourth and Murong Ye hadn"t joined in yet, and Gong Yu had no knowledge of this. Carl was not at all certain that he would be able to leave safely. He was trying to buy a little more time. He was not actually scared of Murong Ye.
However, Lisa didn"t give him such a chance. He raised his long arms and clapped slightly by his ear. In a minute, dozens of super-bodyguards went into action. Carl"s people, who thought that their number was bigger than the number of Murong Ye"s guards, refused to show weakness and fought against Murong Ye"s guards.
Carl was clever enough to choose Murong Yunxi as his target. Murong Ye hadn"t expected that Carl would dare to catch Murong Yunxi. Carl made it. Gong Yu sat in the outermost place next to Murong Yunxi. One of Carl"s people, who understood Carl"s action, attacked Gong Yu right in time. Gong Yu, who was stopped by him, lost the chance to protect Murong Yunxi.
Then, Carl took Murong Yunxi into his arms and stepped backward, watching Murong Ye, Lisa and Fourth as he stayed alert.
Murong Yunxi went numb because of this sudden accident. However, she soon returned to normal and flicked a look at Carl. She realized that he had thought little of her and silently kicked him right in the genitals. Carl was very tall, but Murong Yunxi"s body was flexible so she succeeded easily.
Carl felt pain at once and unconsciously stretched his hands to cover that part of his body. Fortunately, he didn"t use a weapon against Murong Yunxi because he didn"t pay any more attention to her.
Shortly after she kicked Carl"s private parts, Murong Yunxi silently took out the mini handgun Murong Ye had given her and pointed it at the center of Carl"s head.
Carl, who was stunned at once, stared at Murong Yunxi with his eyes open wide. He had never expected that Murong Yunxi, who looked so weak, could really do this.
Even Gong Yu and Murong Ye were astonished. They knew that Fourth had been training Murong Yunxi. However, they didn"t know what was going on during her training. She had been training for only half a year. They had thought that Murong Yunxi hadn"t been taking it seriously. Thus, they were really surprised that Murong Yunxi had protected herself.
Upon looking at Murong Yunxi"s nervous face, Carl raised his eyebrows up with a smile and sneered, "It"s just a mini. I bet you won"t shoot at all."
Carl didn"t take Murong Yunxi into account, as he noticed that what was in her hand looked like a toy gun. However, what he didn"t know was that Murong Ye had prepared that mini handgun especially for Murong Yunxi. It was easy for Murong Yunxi to hold it. However, it accidently became a "little thing" casting a mist before Carl"s eyes today!
A bright, beautiful smile formed in the corner of Murong Yunxi"s mouth, making her beautiful face more attractive. Unexpectedly, Carl stood still for a while and gazed at Murong Yunxi as if he was obsessed.
He didn"t know that this obsessive look would vanish immediately. A m.u.f.fled shot was fired before a small bullet penetrated the center of Carl"s forehead. The hole that bullet made didn"t bleed at first. Murong Yunxi stepped backward quickly and Carl fell down with his eyes open wide.
No one had expected that Murong Yunxi would really shoot. Even Murong Yunxi herself hadn"t expected that she would pull the trigger.
Gong Yu killed his clinging enemy and jumped over to Murong Yunxi. He immediately pulled Murong Yunxi into his arms and comforted her in a quiet tone. "Xiao Xi, well done!"
Gong Yu"s low, gentle voice sounded like harpsichord sonatas pa.s.sing through Murong Yunxi"s ears and softening Murong Yunxi"s terrified heart like magic. She came to her senses, lifted her head, and looked into Gong Yu"s eyes, which were as soft as water. Murong Yunxi felt her heart melt immediately while her fright disappeared.
"Good job!" Gong Yu praised her again. Murong Yunxi nodded.
However, in a minute, her eyes opened wide and her body unconsciously shivered.
