Joanna saved Mi Ruo's life and also hunted down the leader's favorite hero. The news soon reached William. Joanna seemed to have been mentally prepared. She said nothing when she was taken away.
He said, he just squinted his eyes, glanced at Mi Ruo in the animal enclosure, and stepped out of the second floor below.
As soon as she entered the house, Joanna was quickly grabbed by William's chin and pushed her against the stone wall, "Anna, do you dare to disobey my order? Do you not want the antidote anymore?!"
Joanna could clearly feel that her jaw was about to be crushed by him. He was really angry, so he used a hundred times more force than usual. The pain made her head dizzy.
But it was only for a moment, and she soon regained consciousness.
After finally turning her face away, he didn't push her forward again. She felt that her jaw was no longer her own, as if it was about to dislocate. After finally suppressing the pain, she said, "I'm just afraid of you."
I killed her on impulse, if she really died, Lucifer might go crazy."
After a slight pause, she looked back at him again, "If Lucifer really gets mad, you and I have seen how terrible it will be."
Facing her ridicule, William's face flashed with a hint of sinisterness, "Do you think I will be afraid of him?"
She smiled and looked away, "I didn't mean anything else, I just reminded you. You should still remember that back then, even you and I, who were ranked in the top three, were no match for Lucifer."
"Hmph!" William's empty ice-blue eyes narrowed, and a dangerous message flashed across his face, "But don't forget, that was more than ten years ago. Lucifer has been neglecting his training for so many years since he returned to China.
, my skills must have deteriorated, even if not, with so many of my subordinates in Demon-Conquering City, it’s impossible that I can’t defeat even one Lucifer!”
The smile on Joanna's face suddenly disappeared, her dark eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she was about to leave without saying anything, but William put his arm around his shoulders.
He squeezed her shoulder so hard that it hurt. She turned sideways and tried to shake him off, but to no avail.
She turned away and looked at him with questioning eyes.
"Where to go?" he asked.
"Of course I'm going back to my room to rest. Aren't there guests coming tonight?" If Mi was captured and brought to the Demon City, Li Yan must have gotten the news early and made intensive arrangements for the rescue plan. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be here today.
Will arrive in the evening.
An almost imperceptible smile escaped from William's mouth, "Anna, do you think you can deceive me?"
Joanna stiffened slightly and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You want to sneak out quietly to help Lucifer? It's impossible. I know you so well. Not to mention that I am familiar with every inch of you. I even know the thoughts in your head very well.
.”
As he spoke, he retracted his wrist forcefully, and Joanna's body was pulled back. He held her slender waist tightly with one hand, and held her wrist firmly with the other hand. With a "click" sound, he
He put finger-thick handcuffs on Joanna's wrists.
Immediately afterwards, William raised his voice and shouted outside the house, "Someone is coming!"
Two men in black entered in response, bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and put Ye Ji in the dungeon. Don't let her out without my order!"
"Yes, leader!"
Joanna looked at William in shock, and then remembered to struggle, but it was already too late. The handcuffs were so tight that they could not be opened at all. Two men approached her expressionlessly, raised her arms and faced outside.
Walk.
"Let me go! Bastard!" Joanna cursed, but she could do nothing.
——
The rescue team of Li Yan and Gu Bo arrived earlier than Joanna expected. At that time, Mi Ruo fell asleep in the animal pen. She was really sleepy, her nerves were in a tense state, and there was a beast lying in front of her.
The dead lion's iron cage exuded the fishy smell of coagulated blood.
Even so, she actually fell asleep...
She woke up from the cold. The surroundings were eerily quiet. There was no movement at all outside, not even the slightest movement of wind or grass could be heard. The whole castle seemed to be frozen by a magician.
Mi Ruo pressed her back against the stone wall, thinking silently in her mind, hoping to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
"Bang bang bang——"
After an unknown amount of time, a few sporadic gunshots echoed in the castle, as if they were coming from far away. It was not as dense as the dense gunshots during the training during the day. Mi Ruo raised his ears and listened, vaguely
I felt some strange sounds.
She leaned toward the iron railing near the corridor and heard the noise that seemed to come from the ground level, mixed with the noise of people, the sound of footsteps running, and the sound of the iron door being slammed shut.
After a while, the sound of gunshots and footsteps became denser and closer. A voice shouted, "It's not good! The surveillance video has been turned off. Please inform the leader immediately that someone has broken into the castle!"
All the nerves in Mi Ruo's body instinctively tensed up again. Suddenly, the iron door where she was imprisoned was suddenly opened, and a black shadow came in from the door. Mi Ruo subconsciously took a big step back.
Under the moonlight, she saw an icy blue gaze catching her eyes, coming to her as fast as the wind, stretching out his big palm, and knocked her unconscious...
William hid Mi Ruo in the darkroom in the study, and then returned to the open-air pool outside. There were already four or five corpses lying beside the pool. They had been attacked in the dark, with wounds on the heart or temples.
He was attacked at close range and fatally shot.
It can be seen that the other party is very skilled in his techniques and must be a master among masters.
"Leader, this..." The two men stared blankly at the dead bodies on the ground, with cold sweat on their foreheads. "Could it be Lucifer who did this? What should we... do?"
In the castle, except for the leader William, the housekeeper Ye Ji, and the first instructor Reg, the previous generation of killers had seen Lucifer's face, but the younger generation had never seen him in person. The name of Lucifer, the number one killer in the Demon City, was
I heard it from others. Now that I saw with my own eyes the way the deceased was killed, everyone was frightened.
The expression on William's face was full of gloom. He clenched the gun in his hand and yelled, "Why panic? This is our territory. Besides, if we fight against the odds with numbers, can we still not defeat a Lucifer? Even if
The other party is not the same person, the worst is to fight with them!"
The subordinates all looked at each other, as if they disagreed with William's words. His face sank, "Send the order, whoever gets Lucifer's head, I, the Night Demon, will reward you heavily!"
As if he felt that this promise was not tempting enough, he added, "A reward of five million, plus three months of vacation!"
His subordinates' eyes lit up and they immediately responded, "Yes, leader! I will pass on the order for you now!"
