bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xlix

"Where are you taking me?" she nervously asked as she helplessly walked along the milleliths grabbing hold of her.

"Relax, just like you've mentioned earlier... I won't dare and touch any of the people you care however that excludes you, captain." he cocked his head to give her an intimidating look.

"I didn't fucking do it." she didn't mean to be so impolite but her feelings could not bare the sight of being accused.

He laughed but in a very dark way, "I know." he said nonchalantly, "You're just someone to blame."

Beidou wanted to give him a thousand punches but she realized that she made a promise, "You... You're a fatui undercover, no doubt." she snapped when she noticed some of the mismatched uniform.

He ignored her once they've reached their destination which was the Golden House. They know stood in front of the large structure. The fake Milleliths now let go of Beidou and kicks her harshly inside, hitting the cold floor.

They shut the doors behind them, echoing a loud bang of sound, "Captain, if you want this situation to finish in a jiff, do cooperate with us." he sneered, beckoning his head to order his men to tie her up on a chair.

She knew that this is her chance to break free so when the Milleliths were preparing to grab her, she kicked them right at the shin and punched them. The fake Tianxuan bellowing to stop her but she was too strong for them.

"Frauds!" she retorted, now coming to attack their leader but he effortlessly rose his hand and Beidou twitched from the mysterious pain but she still carried on, wanting to plant a good punch at him.

He dodged, still snickering whenever Beidou's attacks aimlessly hit him, "If I were you, I wouldn't fight back." he laughed while the captain still continued trying to strangle him down, "After all, you're nothing but a powerless pirate." then he told his men to seize her.

His men finally recovered from her heavy blows and attempted to get in between them but she elbowed them, making them fall back for the second time but she let down her guard for a second so the other fatui landed a punch right at her stomach, growling in pain so she punched him back ten times more than the pain she received.

More men came within the doors, their fatui leader just spitting orders at them without having to involve himself on the real battlefield. He only watched how the captain was struggling to fight though having countless wounds from them, "Captain Beidou, are you seriously going to fight them to death?" then he smiled grimly as he thought of something better, "Ah, right. Either way... It still leads you to your death." he snickered, wanting to distract her by laying out disturbing words.

But Beidou is one great fighter since she experienced defeating a creature larger than any nightmares she encountered, "Incorrect, mister," she yelled then gave him a scowl, "It's you who will undergo such circumstances for the reason of capturing an innocent citizen as me." she panted, still fighting off other fatuis.

He snarled, "Piteous! I am the government and therefore I should abuse the power they have bestowed upon me! Because you, Captain Beidou, is capable of defeating the Fatui as well as demolishing our plans!"

She was now surrounded by ten of them, carefully looking at the corner of her eyes just in case she lets another guard down. She felt something warm trickling down her forehead so she wiped them off, staining her hands with her own blood, "Cowards." she spat at them and down came ten of them charging her at once. She decided to focus on her life than having to listen at some fatui leader who, all this time, planned for her death.

He continued laying out his plans, "Oh! How great timing as Rex Lapis has been assassinated! No wonder today is the right day to conduct our greatest plan! Captain... You can see how well written our plan is. Ha ha! Alright, that's all I'm spitting out." he waved his hand cooly in thin air then watched the gruesome scene with a grin painted on his face.
