Sha Qing

Chapter 89: Possessed By A Devil (2)

Sha Qing and Daniel stood at the edge of the dense forest, looking towards the now peaceful sky in the southeast direction, where a roaring firework-like explosion had bloomed just a few moments ago.

"Thanks for thinking of that!" Daniel muttered, "Imitating the accent of the effeminate young duke to ask his secretary to send those five members to the plane and then blowing it off with explosives... I thought you really planned to spare them ......" He turned his head to look at the indifferent-looking man beside him, and a chill arose in his heart, "You never thought of letting them get away, did you?"

"For the fixed targets- yes," said Sha Qing in a hushed voice, "I will show no mercy."

Daniel looked at him like he was a monster, but finally shrugged his shoulders at the end, as if to recognize the facts, "Well, how can I expect a serial killer to be soft-hearted? Your only regret, probably, is that you couldn't kill them the way you planned. To be honest, I like seeing this kind of thing: a wanted man killing a bunch of murderers and tainted witnesses right under those cops' noses... How furious would they be if they knew."

Sha Qing imagined Leo's expression after hearing the news. and he couldn't help the rising of the corners of his mouth: If he steps-in and decides to kill Yavre too, what kind of reaction would that man have?

That was the real purpose of his trip, anyway, that is, to cut off the minion's and finally, the lord's head. As for the non-interference he and Leo agreed to, or even the temporary alliance-

-Sorry, I deceived you again. He smiled while thinking of the dark-haired agent, By then, I think you'll be very, very angry, so do your best to catch me!

"Well, now it's time to reveal your evacuation plan. How are we going to leave?" Daniel asked eagerly.

Sha Qing replied unconcernedly, "What's the point of worrying about this? You can go back to the southern island, change into a set of orange uniforms worn by the human-preys, and then peacefully wait for the police rescue. Aren't you a law-abiding and good citizen now?"

-After I used the intelligence of an undercover agent to extort a hundred million from the Yavre? Those cops would throw me back to jail! Daniel became somewhat irritated because of his guilty conscience and hastily explained, "Oh, I don't want to be hauled into the bureau to make a statement, and after getting out of prison, I get headaches whenever I see cops. As for you, you're not going to just blithely tell them, 'I'm Sha Qing, you have to let me fly first class,' are you?"

Sha Qing snickered and said, "Well, since you insist, I can take you away. But not now."

"What?" Daniel screamed unbearably, "God, the Luna Club has been played by you like a half-dead whore who can't even put on their clothes. What the fuck more do you want!"

As his emotional state started to break down, Daniel lunged at Sha Qing and attempted to put his hands around the latter's neck, as if he was facing death itself: "Are you fucking kidding me? Look, I don't care how perfect you want your damn plans to be like a person suffering from some compulsive disorder, I'm getting the hell out of here! Now!"

Sha Qing, who was being strangled by him, rolled twice then pulled Daniel's arm away from his neck and said, "You only have two ways to go: either leave me and find your own way out, or follow me and obey my arrangements. It's up to you."

Daniel was on the verge of wanting to cry. He desperately used his fist and feet to attack Sha Qing, "I'll kill you, you bastard!"

Sha Qing easily laid him out in a few moves. He clasped Daniel's throat, put his knee against the man's abdomen, and said in a teasing tone, "Want to bite back, my little wolfdog?"

Daniel, who was lying on the grass while panting, clutched Sha Qing's arm with his hands and said in an almost pleading tone, "Let's go now! My lord, my king, let's leave now... I'll give you ten million of those green bills."

"I don't need money," Sha Qing replied in a gangster-like slogan. "I can only use that 10 million to have a little bit of a good time."

"You can have as much fun as you want when you get out of this shithole!" Daniel pulled out an unprecedented amount of sincerity and shoved it down his throat, "There's no such thing as 'too much money', right? 20 million, no, 30 million! I'll even give you half of my soul as long as you take me back to land safely!"

"Why would I want that dirty thing?" Sha Qing got up and kicked the other man's ass with his toe, "I want Yavre's life."

Daniel painfully rested his arm on his eyes, silently uttering some self-consolation: Think of killing Yavre as a means to silence someone, so that he won't be able to anyone that I sold him some information about an undercover agent.....Shit! If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn't have talked to this crazy killer. This is not a romantic affair, this is a whole tragedy...

Sha Qing bent down, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up, "If you still want to leave smoothly, then stop wasting time. Did you hear the two explosions earlier? Because of that, the police have begun rounding up their forces in the northern island's airport. It won't take long before their airborne troops arrive."

"They'll surely arrive there first. How do you plan to snatch food from a bunch of heavily armed groups?" Daniel, desperation apparent in his voice.

Sha Qing thought for a moment then said, "How about capturing a hostage? Who else do you think is the most important witness in this case who knows the ins and outs of the story, besides Yavre and the eleven dead hunters?"

"That personal secretary?" Daniel said.

Sha Qing snapped his fingers, "Yes, him. We will hold Oliver as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the police. You will step in to negotiate with them, and while you're doing that, I'll find an opening in the shadows to take care of the target."

Daniel tried to reason, "Even if you don't get rid of the young duke, the police will."

"No, they won't sentence him to death for the sake of maximizing political interests." Sha Qing said coldly, "They will only create public opinion, trumpeting how wise and quick everyone was in solving the case, and how they saved the lives of the citizens who were in danger. After brushing enough prestige, Yavre would be extradited to Britain with the condition that the death penalty will not be allowed. That way, both sides are happy without hurting the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Daniel frowned, "No death sentence? Even I don't think that makes sense ......"

"Think of the two terrorists who caused the airport bombing! One of the conditions on which the U.S. agreed to extradite them to their home country was that the death penalty would not be allowed. The other country didn't accept and as a result, the two unlucky ghosts are still in federal prisons. They are not tried or sentenced. They are raised to death in prison without a name, until death. There was also that Kobe Cannibal. Not only did he not go to jail after being extradited, but he also published a book about his cannibalism acts."

Sha Qing sneered then continued, "Do you think that Duke Yavre will let his eldest son squat in prison all his life?"

Daniel was speechless.

"I told you, the law is a bitch, and even though it's wrapped in a tight robe from head to toe, it's still a bitch." Sha Qing looked down at the palms of his hands, invisible sticky blood was flowing slowly on it. He clenched his fingers as if he was gripping a pitch-black sharp blade, letting it cut itself into his flesh.

"I do what I think I should do, and no one can stop me." He said in a voice as cold and hard as a knife.

And at that moment, Daniel felt fearless as long as he was with him.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that he broke free from the illusion of being bewitched, and scolded himself out of a cold sweat: I'm being possessed by a devil!
