Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 708 Survival Methods

In the dark, secret room, Silverlight had a cigarette dangling from his lips, and the pungent smell of the smoke made Vaksha's eyes sting.

Do you really have to slap me?

In his heart, he wanted to curse Yin Hui to death, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

Otherwise, his already bruised and swollen face would probably suffer even more injuries.

“You better pray you’re not lying, otherwise… I guarantee you won’t see Dinas,” Silverlight suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Waksha couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The implication is that even if they don't want the coveted bounty, they'd still kill him?

What a vicious guy.

Indeed, in this world, besides evil people, the most terrifying thing is still evil people.

Seeing that Waksha was behaving very obediently, Silvershine blew another smoke ring, which made Waksha cough.

Yinhui then took out his phone, waiting for good news from someone.

About twenty minutes later, Kiana finally sent an email.

Before Silverlight could even open it, Kiana called.

"The items are incomplete; he didn't finish explaining." This simple sentence made Yin Hui's eyes turn dangerous.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Vaksha carried a hint of violence.

Upon meeting that terrifying gaze, Vaksha's expression suddenly changed. Although he was still afraid of Silverlight's fist, the chance to live was right in front of him!

"I didn't say..."

Before Waksha could finish speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag landed squarely on his face.

With a bang, Vaksha was knocked off his feet, screaming in agony as warm, scarlet blood flowed from his nose and his mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

No, you won't listen to any explanation at all?

Waksha was filled with regret.

Unfortunately, there aren't that many pills to undo regrets in this world.

Seeing Silverlight close in, intending to throw another punch, Vaksha quickly shouted, "I'm not lying to you, I really am not lying to you... I don't want to die!"

With his survival instinct blazing, Vaksha wished he could put his vocal cords next to Silverlight's ear to awaken even a shred of humanity in the guy.

Fortunately, Silverlight was just venting his frustration, nothing more, and it wasn't enough to kill Vaksha.

But he never liked the feeling of being made a fool of.

Unless he's the one playing with others... Oh, the last guy who tried to manipulate his target is now his boss!

"If you can't explain it in one minute, then go die."

Silverlight drew his pistol from his waist, cocked it, and pressed the cold muzzle against Vaksha's forehead, his eyes filled with silence.

Never doubt a man's decisiveness in having a cigarette beforehand.

“The copy, the one she saw was an incomplete copy. I’ve hidden the real data.”

Waksha's tone was full of impatience, as if he was afraid that Silverlight's temper would flare up and he would lose it.

If you mess things up, where can you go to seek justice?

"If you want the complete copy, you must ensure my safety. You know very well what that is, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to capture me. That old man Dinas's commission is just a smokescreen."

The more Waksha spoke, the brighter the light in his eyes became.

It's as if the wonderful scene of breaking free from constraints and regaining freedom is already beckoning.

Yin Hui's next words, however, brought him back to reality.

"So? Where is it?"

Waksha was speechless for a moment.

Are you deaf?

I already said I had to ensure his safety, and now you're pointing a gun at his head.

Will you speak?

It's better not to say anything, because saying it will surely lead to my death.

He's not an idiot; he wouldn't easily hand over the very thing that guarantees his own safety.

Yin Hui realized he had asked a stupid question, so he slapped Waksha hard across the face and then focused his attention on the phone.

"Did you hear that?"

"heard it."

On the other end of the phone, in a warehouse piled high with goods, Kiana sat with her legs crossed, her curvaceous buttocks surrounded by stacks of RGD-5 grenades, a truly horrifying sight.

But Kiana acted as if nothing was wrong, fiddling with a USB flash drive the size of a walnut in her hand, with a tattered laptop lying on the ground in front of her.

It seems that Kiana was not nearly as calm as she is now.

Silverlight remained silent for a long time, waiting for Kiana's reply.

After thinking for a while, Kiana finally spoke into the phone.

"His feud with Dinas is none of our business. It won't hurt for us to act as his bodyguards until the next group finds him."

Hearing Kiana say this, Waksha on the other end breathed a sigh of relief, and Silverlight was not surprised at all.

They've gone to so much trouble, and even had some unpleasantness with the local gangs. If they end up with nothing, that would be disgusting.

"...But keep an eye on him, just enough to keep him alive."

Kiana's next words froze Vaksha's smile on his face.

Grudges are grudges, and bargaining chips are bargaining chips.

Each issue should be treated separately and should not be confused with the other.

"Understood." Yin Hui hung up the phone with a sinister smile.

"What...what do you want to do?" Vaksha's voice trembled, the scene of the violence from not long ago still vivid in his mind.

No... don't!

Unfortunately, his pleas for mercy did not elicit any sympathy.

Meanwhile, outside the St. Mary's Sanatorium, Shiina Yuichi is saying goodbye to Haibara Ai.

"Are you leaving again?" Ai Haibara's face was cold and somewhat tired.

She stayed up all night again last night.

Shiina Yu squatted down in front of her, gently rubbing her fair and smooth face with a touch of tenderness.

“I promise you, it will be over soon, remember?” Shiina Yuichi’s eyes softened, his tone filled with warmth. “One day, we will appear anywhere with our heads held high… even on those people’s barren graves and dilapidated ruins.”

Ai Haibara reached out and hugged Yuichi Shiina's hands; it felt so warm.

You have never disappointed me... Ai Haibara stared into Yuichi Shiina's eyes, a mix of emotions swirling within her, but in the end, it all turned into helplessness.

More than any so-called freedom, she hoped that Shiina Yuichi could be safe and healthy.

"When you come back next time, take the antidote." Ai Haibara's voice was somewhat low. "I've already done the final experiment, and the success rate is very high."

Shiina Yuichi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you."

After saying that, Shiina Yuichi extended his little finger, with a hint of doting affection.

"I'm not a child!"

Ai Haibara protested, but in the end, she still took Shiina Yuichi's hand and their fingers intertwined.

Ai Haibara murmured softly, "Don't lie."

"Of course." Shiina Yuichi leaned forward and placed a light kiss on Haibara Ai's cheek.

After saying that, Shiina Yuu got up and walked towards the car by the roadside.

Ai Haibara watched Shiina Yuichi leave, her worry like a cloud that wouldn't dissipate.

May Yuichi return safely.
