Volume 2 + Chapter 106: Satisfying You
Xia Yi returned to the Hechi Gang’s hideout.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Serra.
“Miss, are you hurt?”
Originally, Xia Yi could maintain her composure, but upon seeing Serra, thoughts of her wallet made her feel aggrieved.
“No.”
The little princess was trying her best to maintain her expression, after all, both Jiye and the members of the Hechi Gang were watching.
However, Serra, who had always been by Xia Yi’s side as her personal maid, quickly noticed the subtle changes in the little princess’s expression.
“Xiaoye, thank you for your hard work, leading the Hechi Gang to take action in the lower district,” Serra said to Jiye.
“It’s nothing! But there might be some trouble afterwards. We may need to greet the forces in the lower district… Otherwise, they may misunderstand and think we’re trying to seize their territory,” Jiye replied. “Big Sister, what about that assassin?”
“She’s already been captured, and we can interrogate her at any time… But before that, the Young Miss and I have something to discuss in private,” Serra said.
Jiye acknowledged.
Afterwards, he let Serra and Xia Yi go to a separate room on the second floor and specifically instructed the others not to go upstairs.
…
“Your Highness, I apologize for returning late. Dealing with the Hechi Gang’s elders took a bit longer than expected… Because some were not very obedient, I had to teach them a lesson, so I came back late.”
Serra was very puzzled.
“But, you left the hideout and went to the lower district. Did you encounter any trouble?”
“No, I just wanted to take a walk nearby… But I encountered a bad person. She, she stole my wallet… So I chased after her, all the way to the lower district…”
Xia Yi wanted to maintain her royal dignity in front of the maid… But the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her voice started to carry a crying tone.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
The little princess started crying.
“Wuuuuahh!! That was my favorite wallet, and that bastard shredded it!!”
Serra, of course, knew about the frog wallet. It was bought by Her Majesty the Queen for her daughter in the past… Because she especially liked it, the princess had been carrying it with her until now, but suddenly it was gone…
One could imagine how she felt.
“Princess, I understand. It’s all that assassin’s fault. Let’s go twist her head off later and use it as a ball for you to kick… As for her body, we’ll skin it and make it into a wallet to compensate you.”
Serra pulled Xia Yi into her embrace, gently comforting Xia Yi with her broad bosom.
Having vented, Xia Yi felt a bit better and gradually stopped sobbing.
“Your Highness, are you feeling better now?” Serra asked.
“I-I’m fine now.”
The silver-haired loli rubbed her reddened eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed. She actually threw a tantrum and cried in front of someone else… As the Human Sword Saint, this didn’t seem quite appropriate, did it?
It won’t happen again, it won’t happen again.
“Serra, forget about what just happened, pretend it never occurred…”
Xia Yi mumbled in a low voice, her face flushed, not daring to look at Serra.
“No problem, Your Highness. I’ve already lost my memory and forgotten what happened within the past ten minutes, including what you did,” Serra said, going against her true feelings.
Xia Yi didn’t want to continue this topic any further and quickly brought up official business to discuss. “Serra, I’m very concerned about the situation in the lower district. You’re from Corolle, can you tell me about it?”
“Your Highness, in the past, Corolle already had a division between the central district and the lower district. Back then, there weren’t as many poor people in the lower district. This was a long time ago,” Serra explained. “After the new nobles came to this city and rose to power, they formed the New Chamber of Commerce and concentrated the wealth in the central district, driving those without money to the lower district. Wealth continuously gathered in the central district, while the lower district became increasingly impoverished.”
“Are the poor people in the lower district willing to accept such a life?” Xia Yi asked.
“The emerging nobility in the central district constantly exploit the poor in the lower district, treating them as consumables. It’s not that no one has ever resisted, but in the end, they all died. The new nobles established new laws and manipulated the security forces to deal with such situations.”
“You still remember, right? One of the laws established by the emerging nobles states that one cannot release their true dragon form without permission. This is just one of them.”
“The new nobles control all channels of information, allowing the poor in the lower district to only receive the information that they want them to know. Under constant propaganda, the poor believe that they can only live because of the new nobles’ mercy and that they definitely won’t survive if they leave this city, gradually losing the will to resist. This is the world of the lower district.”
Serra told Xia Yi the truth behind the birth of the lower district.
…
Thousand Kills was captured.
This was the first time in her professional career.
Originally, when she encountered that red dragon, she wanted to fight back, but the red dragon’s strength was too great, and she was directly knocked out.
When she woke up again, she had already been captured, with her hands and feet locked, confined in a dim room.
The door was opened, and several people walked in.
“Miss Mu Guang, look, it’s her, right?”
“Yes.”
A bright light shone on her face, blinding Thousand Kills.
However, as a professional assassin, she quickly adapted and saw the faces of these few people clearly.
The silver-haired loli was the assassination target, and the red dragon was the one who had knocked her out earlier. This gang was…
The leader of the Hechi Gang?
Thousand Kills couldn’t figure it out. The assassination target was clearly going to participate in the Hechi Gang’s interview… How come the leader of the Hechi Gang was now acting like a subordinate in front of her??
Ridiculous.
She had really messed up this time.
“Why did you try to assassinate Miss Mu Guang? Who’s behind this, and what is the purpose?” Jiye asked directly.
“Hehe, since you’re the leader of the Hechi Gang, you must have heard of the name Thousand Kills, right?” Thousand Kills said with a cold smile.
“You’re actually Thousand Kills?” Jiye was a bit surprised. “Corolle’s number one assassin, I know you.”
“It’s good that you understand. Leader of the Hechi Gang, I failed and was caught by you today. This is because my skills were inferior. But to make me betray my employer? Impossible! You might as well kill me directly, this is about dignity!”
Thousand Kills said firmly, making her stance clear.
But well…
She was just talking tough, who would willingly give up their life?
Thousand Kills was Corolle’s number one assassin. If she surrendered right away, her professional image would be completely ruined. If word got out, her reputation would be destroyed.
Since the other party wanted to find out about her employer so much, they would definitely make concessions. She could use this opportunity to negotiate with the other party and discuss conditions—
“Good, you have a strong backbone, I respect that. You are indeed a professional assassin. Then, let’s fulfill your wish,” Xia Yi said. “Jiye, kill her.”
Thousand Kills’ expression froze. “Huh?”
