Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 153 - She is not a chess piece

XG 153 - She is not a chess piece

"She is not a chess piece that you can move around as you will," Charles Wong said.

"No matter whether you want to or not, that dice had already started rolling. He had already known Wong Xue Guo is a threat to his existence," Master Sheng said.

"Thanks to your lies!" Suzie Yap silently sneaked up to Master Sheng's back and stabbed the right side of his hip. She even drives it deeper and twists the knife in a grudgeful manner.

But it was yet another illusion that she attacked.

Charles Wong pointed his gun in another direction and pressed the trigger. Master Sheng dodged and manifested himself again, which showed that Charles Wong's senses were rather sharp. His ability to create illusions that could trick a person's five senses no longer worked effectively on Charles Wong.

Pressing on the previous bullet wound that grazed his upper arm, Master Sheng removed Wong Xue Guo's illusion and eyed the smashed floors above him, which allowed him to see the sky without obstacles. "We don't have much time to talk, nor do I want to continue changing your minds with illusions. I know his weakness and I could get close to him without him on guard. Your self-declaration of defeating him in your own way might work, but at what cost?"

"That cause could be eliminated if you are not hell-bent on sacrificing my daughter," Suzie Yap said coldly.

"I just put her up as bait, a cover. Whether she will get to survive till the end, will depend on her and also on the effort of everyone that loves her. But of course, I have my role to play so that I can stay by his side for the right opportunity. If my actions while playing my role somehow killed her, her death is nothing other than an unfortunate casualty."

"And the only thing to blame will be our failure to protect her? No bloody way will I accept that," Suzie Yap scorned.

Master Sheng shrugged uncaringly. "Either way, we both have the same goal. Since you refuse to work with me, I can only regrettably hope that our endeavours will be fruitful."

"What is his weakness?" Charles Wong questioned.

"Ah that... since we are not cooperating with each other, I shall not tell you about it. It's just like the saying 'how could one foolishly let others take credit for their hard work?'"

"Indeed so. It's also our right to make use of the fact that you are a 'traitor' in their group and buy us some time too," Suzie Yap taunted.

Master Sheng faintly smiled. "They will not believe you, but you are welcome to try anything that would help you with your endeavours."

"Because you expect us to do the same for you?" Suzie Yap started the fight again by throwing large rubble at Master Sheng, only for it to only hit a guy that had the unfortunate timing to fall down from the top floor.

"Unfortunately, our chat has to end here."

It was possibly the largest snake anyone ever had seen in the entire world, as it slithers down from the top floor to the wine cellar. The large green snake allowed Master Sheng to step on it, clearly belonging to Master Sheng.

Charles Wong created more metal poles to impale the giant snake, but it was surprisingly fast and flexible even with that size and ended up escaping with Master Sheng without getting impaled even once.

"Not chasing after them?" Charles Wong asked his wife when she just watched them leave. He casually used his ability to smack pieces of bricks falling from above, away from him and his wife.

As for the pitiful people that fallen off from above floors? The couple forgot about them.

"Both of us hardly overpower that fortune teller. And we are not suitably attired to deal with that snake guy's poisons. Anyway, as long as he still wants to overthrow his 'Lord', he won't be our enemy for now."
