Lei Xinyi was sitting on the secluded barstool in the Death Arena sipping on a beer. The second fight of the night had almost come to an end and the corpse of the loser was being removed.The next was Viper"s match. She had been waiting to see the man drop dead so she could leave.
In the business it was mandatory that she had to confirm the corpse in the allotted time and place or the deal is off.
The high power stimulant"s drug was bound to increase his blood flow level which he will mistake for adrenaline.
With time the intensity of the blood flow will increase by ten times and the man will feel dizzy and airheaded. His opponent will finish him for her.
The plan was smooth and foolproof but there was a catch. If the man didn"t die she would have to end his game herself which will not be a tough job for her but doing it directly in the shadows will be.
On her front she saw Viper coming back in the arena. He looked fine. With a little closer Lei Xinyi could tell that the shoulder swelling had subsided by now.
He looked healthy as an ox but he was anything but that.
Viper stepped with another burly man and crown cheered them. There were no referees or rounds as they were illegal death matches which mean no rules or nothing was unfair.
The only thing that mattered is that you live. You live, you win.
Lei Xinyi glanced back at the match to see Viper had the man on the floor and was straddling and punching him. Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes, all the stimulant he should thank her for.
One had to say the man was good. No wonder they were to kill him in this sneaky way. They wouldn"t stand a chance in combat.
She glanced at the watch and whispered, "And it begins now."
She smirked and glanced at the Arena to see Viper in a Nutcracker choke. The blood flow pressure would have exceeded and the man must be losing his focus, making it easy for his opponent to strike.
"Get out of here!" Lei Xinyi heard the frantic voice of Su Qianwei in the earpiece.
Lei Xinyi"s hand with the wine gla.s.s paused mid-air. Then she brought the gla.s.s to her lips and whisper yelled, "Why the h.e.l.l?! He isn"t dead yet!"
Lei Xinyi heard a sharp intake of breath from the other side of the earpiece.
"Lei Xinyi, get out of there! Yu w.a.n.g is here and Li Yaun is with him and they are heading toward the death arena!"
Lei Xinyi felt her spine straightened. Fear clouded her senses. There was only one exit and enter. If they were heading here they were bound to see her.
She didn"t want to know what would happen after that...
Su Qianwei heard the heavy breath from the other side and felt a headache coming.
Her head was telling her to abandon Lei Xinyi and run for her life which was a wise thing to do.
Su Qianwei let out a frustrated sigh. she couldn"t let her die, she was too useful.
"Lei Xinyi, listen to me carefully. The most I can give you is 25 seconds. Get out of there and meet me in the parking area!"
Lei Xinyi heard the crowd roar in the chorus and turned to see Viper laying on the floor, dead cold.
She took out the mask she stole from Su Qianwei earlier the day and threw it in the ring where sore bet-losers were throwing things.
She took a second to gain back her composure, "I will be there."
She got off the stool, headed to the stairs, and walked briskly. If she ran like a mad bull she would draw attention that she couldn"t afford.
She got back in the Stripclub floor just in time to see a fight broke out and Su Qianwei on the floor fighting with two other male a.s.sa.s.sins in front of the staircase exit/enter door.
So that was her genius plan to delay Li Yuan and Yu w.a.n.g for 25 seconds. The bouncers were now separating them as fights weren"t allowed on this particular floor.
Lei Xinyi scowled and turned to head to the floor exit when she collided with a rock hard chest.
She was about to have a free fall but an arm wrapped around her waist and protected her from gravity.
Lei Xinyi was startled for a while but regained her composure and looked at the man"s face.
Looking at the familiar pair of onyx eyes ran a s.h.i.+ver up her spine, she stiffened and her eyes widened.
She was wearing black lenses but she couldn"t afford being caught anyway.
Unlike everyone here he wasn"t masked, unafraid and unrestrained. Too proud to hide behind a mask.
She pushed him away and ran toward the exit.
"Wait," Li Yaun shouted and as the woman pa.s.s by him.
The pair of eyes were oddly familiar.
