Chapter 38- Enraged Eva (Part 2)

Edward's face turned even paler as he stared at Eva's cold, chilling eyes. Deep down, he knew it, he wasn't going to survive tonight. However, he couldn't accept that. How can he die here?! Wasn't he a chosen one?! Wasn't he destined for greatness?!

"Wait, Eva! You do know how my family will react if you end up killing me! It will start a full war!! It won't end peacefully!!" He yelled desperately, fear clanging to his heart as the death reaper's scythe loomed over his neck.

Eva didn't respond as she looked back at her maid.

"This piece of trash isn't even worth using my powers on him, get me my gun, Mia." She ordered coldly to which the maid bowed respectfully.

"Listen here, insect. The moment I end your pitiful life, I will then send your severed head to them as my last gift, and along with it, I will give them a choice. Either they could pretend as if nothing happened and move on with their lives or they will choose to fight back…"

Bending down, Eva's tone turned even colder.

"At that moment, even if my darling decided to have mercy on them for barging into his peaceful life, I won't be as merciful. I will erase each and every one of them and make sure your lineage ends on you, the biggest failure of that family."

Edward was simply shocked beyond words. Her threats sounded emotionless yet so truthful that he had not even a shred of doubt that she will do exactly what she said.

"Their lives are their choice."

Meanwhile, Mia approached Eva and handed her the pistol. It was a silver revolver with a small name itched on it. That name was only two letters 'BP'. This was Eva's favorite gun to use and she basically killed all of her targets using it for the past few years.

Taking the gun and tracing its frame fondly as if she was a mother caressing her own child. She opened the magazine and checked for bullets. After that, she emptied the bullets in her hand before she gave them to Mia and only kept a single bullet.

"One bullet."

Edward's face crumbled as he understood what Eva wanted to do. She was not going to even grant him a quick death, she was going to play with his head.

"Have you ever heard of this game? They call it the Russian Roulette." She asked as she put the bullet inside the hole and then span the magazine. In silence, the clicking sound of the revolver rolling as the bullet vanished under Edward's horrified eyes.

He tried to wriggle himself out and run away but Eva's leg was pinning him down.

"Since I'm feeling generous, I will give you a chance to survive. Three shots, if you don't die in one of them, I will spare your pathetic excuse of a life." Eva said coldly before pointing the gun at him.

"First shot."

"Wait!!!!"

*Click*

Eva pulled the trigger, but no bullet was fired. Edward's eyes blinked as he felt his heart beat again. The feeling he had the second Eva pulled the trigger was the worst thing he ever experienced.

"Second shot," Eva spoke coldly as she aimed the gun at Edward again.

"No, please! Eva, I'm sorry! I will break the engagement! I will do anything you ask! Please spare my life." Tears welled up in the young man's eyes as he begged for his life.

His pride was long gone along with his ego. All he cared about now was to hang on for his dear life and if that meant he would beg or kiss her leg, then so be it.

*Click*

"Noooo!!" As he closed his eyes with a shriek, Edward didn't feel anything change. So, he opened his eyes again. The second shot had no bullet either.

"Hmm, it seems lady luck is still with you. One last shot and you can live." Eva said as she pointed the gun at Edward for the last time.

"Any last words, Charlemagne bastard?" She asked.

"Please… *Hick* *Hick* I will never appear in your face again. Just, please! Have it in your heart to let me live." The boy's face was now ruined with snot and tears as he begged and cried like a little child. Every last piece of his pride was shattered to pieces as if it was nothing.

"Ok, no last words. The last shot it is then."

"No!!"

*Click*

Eva clicked the trigger and yet, miraculously, no bullet was shot. Eva's eyebrow was raised with an amused look.

"You are quite lucky, aren't you?" She murmured.

"Hahahaha… Hahahahahaha!" Edward's eyes which were about to die and wither regained their vigor in a second as he fell into a crazed laughter. His eyes were still crying yet he was smiling like a maniac. He had lost his mind.

"Ok, you can go ahead and leave," Eva said as she pulled her leg away and shook it as if she felt disgusted by the fact that she even touched his hand with her shoe.

Immediately, Edward stood up and started running toward the door. He only wanted to leave and never come back. This was the worst experience of his whole life and something that will traumatize him for eternity. However, it was all now over. He can finally leave. He can finally escape this nightmare.

"Just kidding~" Suddenly, Eva smiled coldly and pointed the gun at the running Edward, and then pulled the trigger.

*Click* *BANG*

The bullet flew in the blink of an eye and pierced the back of Edward's head. Because of the sheer strength of the bullet, shards of Edward's skull and brain matter blew everywhere as he fell down to the ground, a pool of blood already accumulating beneath him.

"Why did you even believe that I will let you live, insect?" Saying that Eva pulled the bullet shell out and threw it to Mia.

"Get rid of the body and severe the head before sending it to Charlamagne. They better know that I won't let them get away with it if they dare to piss me off." She said to Mia before walking away, her cold aura lingering in the room.

"As you wish, My lady."

As Eva walked through the corridor, she found her little sister standing there. Her cute, wide eyes lit up when she saw her big sister.

"Meli! Why are you still awake?"

"I heard big sister talking so I went to check," Meli replied as she hugged her sister's leg. Then, she looked up at Eva with an adorable expression.

"Big sis… Can I…"

"You already know that you can't go on a mission yet, Meli. Your training is not over yet."

The little girl immediately pouted as she looked away.

"Stingy."

"Sigh, you are so stubborn."

"But, after my first kill, you never allowed me to do it again, big sister!" She shouted in protest.

"That's because you kept torturing the target for hours. You must not waste time when working. Be as efficient as possible." Eva replied with a warm smile as she bent down and patted her lovely sister on the head fondly.

"But, I wanted to have fun! When that big bad guy started screaming, I couldn't stop myself! It was super fun!!" Meli's eyes glistened with excitement.

"You little naughty girl. Since when did you have these tendencies?" She asked.

"Mommy told me that torturing always helps extract information so I tried to do it myself."

"Well, that is only if you need to extract information from the target. Other than that, if it's a simple elimination mission, you must not prolong it more than necessary or you could get in trouble. I don't want my little sister to harm herself, ok?"

"Ok! I promise that I won't do it unless necessary, big sister!"

"Good girl! Your big sister is proud of you." Kissing her forehead, Eva stood up and held her sister's hand. "Now, you must go to sleep, you have school tomorrow."

"Ok!"

The two sisters then walked and vanished inside the house.

Meanwhile, in a faraway place, precisely the Charlamagne household. A package has been delivered to them late at night.

Usually, packages like this don't pass the security but since the sender was the Lavines, it was accepted and even delivered to the head of the house, Trevor Charlamagane to check it out.

"What is the meaning of this? The Lavines never sent us anything." An old man, nearing his 60s with a ferocious beard and even more ferocious looks sat on a comfy chair behind his desk, eyeing the box in front of him. He was a tall, muscular man with a huge scar that slit his face vertically and added a layer of intimidation to his features.

"Our scanners couldn't determine the nature of the object, sir. However, it isn't anything dangerous." The butler replied respectfully.

"Tsk, it better be worth waking up in the middle of the night for."
