Chapter 362 On Ice
I watched as her face turned red. It was really too bad. I thought that I might finally have a female friend. Someone that had the same experiences as me with multiple men. But there was no way to build any type of friendship after she insulted Chen Zi Han.
If she is lucky, she might walk out of here with her life. But anything more is pushing it.
She frantically tapped my hand like that was going to be enough to let her go. It wasn't, but it was enough for me to loosen my grip and at least let her talk. "I am sorry," she said as she gasped for air.
"No," I said, shaking my head. "You are sorry that there are consequences for running your mouth. But you aren't sorry for what you said."
"I am," she assured me. "I was just worried about Chen Xin Ya, and it just came out of nowhere."
"Things don't just come out. They tend to be long-suppressed feelings that finally make their way to the surface, but they never come out of nowhere. You look down on my man for his brutality, but maybe you should look down on yours for his lack of it." More than done with her, I flicked my wrist and sent her flying.
I didn't know that I was strong enough to do something like that. It was probably an after-effect of Violence. That personality seemed the type to need to work out some aggression.
"It's dirty. Drop it," I said to Chen Zi Han as I turned around and looked at the throne that Violence created. It was… nice, very her with all the swords, but I will take my ice throne any day of the week. I quickly rebuilt my throne over top of hers and went to go sit down.
Chen Zi Han threw in man in his hand in the same direction as his woman and dusted off his hands as best he could. He walked towards me with a smile on his face. "Nice to see you back," he said as he gave me a kiss on my head.
"Sorry about that. Apparently, I needed a bit of a break. But I am back and more than willing to kick some ass. Now, what should we do with them?" I asked him. After all, she insulted him, not me, so he could get the final say in what to do.
He paused for a moment before he started to speak. "I have an idea, I just need to run out for a moment. Is that okay?" he asked me hesitantly.
"Whatever you need. I'll be here. But take one of the other guys with you. I don't want us going anywhere alone right now. You never know when the military is going to pop out of nowhere and have a new assignment that we just can't say no to," I said with a sarcastic smile. Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han chuckled low, and even Liu Wei huffed out a laugh.
"I'll take Liu Yu Zeng. Back in a bit," said Chen Zi Han, and all of a sudden, Lin and Kronos were there, quietly rumbling as they waited for the men to get on.
"Be safe. Come home to me," I said with a wave. The words seemed to come out of nowhere, but like I told Xing Xin Ya, it was probably because they were long repressed.
"Always am, always do," said Liu Yu Zeng back, and it felt like we had completed some sort of ritual between us.
"You will never get rid of me. Keep the hearth fire burning. I will be home soon." And just like that, another puzzle piece clicked into place, and I was able to breathe just a bit easier.
However, as happy as their words made me, there was also an echo of sadness at the same time. Like I had said those words too many times.
I shook my head. They were literally going right down the street. If I was that anxious, I could just meet up with them.
"And then there were two," smirked Liu Wei, and he leaned down to nibble on my shoulder and ear. I groaned in approval.
"Well, two plus six," I chuckled as the first of Xing Xin Ya's men managed to get to their feet. "And I have no idea what Chen Zi Han wants done with them."
"Then we'll put them on ice for right now until they come back," said Liu Wei with a shrug. He came to the front of my throne and picked me up. Spinning the two of us around until I was sitting on his lap, he got us comfortable once again.
"When you say put them on ice, do you mean literally or figuratively?" I asked, just wanting to be clear. He chuckled and shook his head. "You don't actually have to freeze them; we will just have to make sure that they aren't running off any time soon."
I studied the six bodies laying on the ground in front of us. "I think you guys did a pretty good job at that yourselves."
"Too slow; we should have been faster. Will probably have to start training again," shrugged Liu Wei, and he, too, turned to look at the bodies.
"Does this training have a montage with lots of push-ups? Because if there are push-ups, I want to watch," I said with a smirk. "But seriously, is Wang Chao okay?"
"Probably not, no," replied Liu Wei, really not seeming to care about his long-time friend and boss. "But I am sure that you know better than all of us what happens when you have voices in your head that keep trying to push you in one direction instead of the one you want to go in."
"Did that happen to you?" I asked as I turned around to look at him with concern.
"It did," he said with a small smile.
"What happened?" I asked, not able to help myself.
"I killed it."
