The Heir - Stay ll

Chapter 32: meet again

I met her in a red dress the first time.
And yet here she is now in front of me, wearing a white dress, probably thinking of staining it with blood instead.

"You're the one who kidnapped my mother." I concluded. If she's now allied with the Hyenas, then that's the only conclusion I can get.

"Your mother?" She seemed amused. "I see, you no longer describe yourself as an outsider from them."

"You still are a Yao yourself. Does that mean you're enemy with your own self too?"

She glared. "I am not a Yao."

"You are." I replied. Her eyes were so focused to mine that she didn't notice that I was walking close. She was caught up when I stole her gun from her.

"Stealing is bad"

"Same with killing."

She swiftly raised her leg to try hit me, but I managed to see her moves and block it. Yet she was actually targetting the two guns I was holding, kicking them off, slipping far, under the table.

"Let's do this, the unmodernized way." she smirked. 

I walked backwards. I was no bad at martial arts. But if I'd be honest, guns would always be my strength. She knows it.  I wast fast and able to maintain my balance, but not enough to keep up with her. It's like the fight is speed versus strength.

I was pinned down to the floor. The annoying smirk of joy in her face didn't escape from my eyes. She was standing while I'm between her legs. I  heard the prisoners shouting at me for allowing a girl take me down.

Zeiri put her foot on top of my chest. "A dark soul fighting with another dark soul. Ironic isn't?" She said, raising her red dress, revealing a hidden knife tied in her thigh. Making the prisoners go 'ooh.'

I shifted my gaze to my side. "I suggest you wearing short pants." I said with a disgusted tone. Her undies are red.

"W-what?" She immediately stepped off my chest. Her face immediately turned into a tomato out of embarassment. "You..you pervert!"

Taking the opportunity, I slid my leg 180° to the floor across her, making her trip down. Before she could move, I went on top of her, tightly holding her hand until she chose to let her knife go.

"Any words to say?" I said.

"You mean my last words before I die?"

"No, I could still use you." I said, leaning my face closer to her. "What else do you know"

"Know about what?"

"About everything."

"Everything what?" she asked more and I gave a glare. "Fine, I will say it, but keep your distance from me."

"No. You're going to run away."

"Run away?" She scoffed. "I'm not a coward to do such."

"And I am not stupid to believe such."

Rolling her eyes, she finally gave up. "Fine, fine."

"What's the reason behind the Hyena's grudge to the Yao and Li family?"

"Well, I did—I mean, me and Zac made a deep research about the Hyena Company." She started to explain. "Despite their great cover, there's a disgusting thing under it. They use girls to lure the industrial leaders to get what they want. In short, seduction is their key to success."

"What motivates them to be a pain in the ass?" I asked more.

"How long are you two gonna play that way?" Someone spoke behind me.
