Chapter 404 - Not a feminist.
"Does anyone have a pen? I can write you the kind and the thickness of the glass that would be suitable at the place like this ", Li Xue asked, looking at the men with an expression of casualness.
The men looked at her and then turned to themselves to exchange the glances with each other. Once they made the decision, they again turned back to look at Li Xue as one of them said, "Hey, woman! You better not play around here. This is not a playground for you to play but a very severe place whose danger is still all unknown to folks like you". He said and Li Xue almost wanted to laugh out loud on his words.
Who said that she was all unknown to the place? Was she really that naive and innocent in their eyes?
Though she was all unknown to the city, the base was still all the same to the one she had in the memory. And about dangerousness, wasn't knowing Jing Wei Jin enough to know all about danger? Not known about the others but in her book of knowledge, it was more than enough.
The men wanted to be careful around the lady but whenever they looked at her, her beauty told them not to be so callous around her. How can a woman as beautiful as her can be any harmful? Won't that be something against nature?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut in the middle of all this, they were almost forgetting the most important track that nature follows. Beauty itself is the biggest trap of this world, that can bring you both sweet and tough pains.
Li Xue almost pulled her lips down to present her upset look on her face.?"When did I play games? I was just trying to help but since you don't want to, I could only cry for the damage. I have thought that by helping you out like this I can be guilt-free but seems like I can only drown myself in the pool of guilt now. Because of me, you have incurred such a big loss. Only if I had money to pay the cost of the damage off". She said as she faked a cry, turning her back to the men.
Lesson 1: At places like this, faking your true personality was the most healthy habit to follow. Fake it until you make it!
How can she forget the lessons she has learnt just a few years back? Won't that be cruel to the crazy person who has made efforts to make her learn everything?
Seeing her like that, the men at the back felt really bad. "Why are you making such a beautiful woman upset? Being a man, is it good to see a woman cry in front of you?" one of the men said, feeling pity for Li Xue.
"Yes, yes, seeing her cry is not feeling any good. It's not good to make her cry. It's just a pen that she is asking for. What can she do with a mere pen? Let's give it to her and fulfil her wish". The other men supported. In their eyes, Li Xue was becoming the best example they could give a weak and demure lady. And without any say, she was at their mercy at this moment.
"Why are you blaming me now. Not like it was just me who has agreed to be tough and careful around her. At that time, weren't you all the same as me" the man at the centre said, feeling all betrayed by his own teammates.
"Fine, fine we said it before but now we are saying this too. Let's give the pen to her. A pen can never be a threat to us especially when we have such good pistols in our hand" someone from the group said and everyone nodded to it.
The group leader also nodded to their words. Turning to look at Li Xue's back, he said, "Fine, woman! Don't cry anymore. We cannot see you getting in that fragile state. Here take the pen and write whatever you want", he said as he went forward towards Li Xue.
Li Xue's lips instantly curled into a smirk, knowing that her plan was getting towards success.?Her amber eyes shone in the light, as she once again looked at her watch. She has already wasted too much time but still has 2 minutes 40 seconds left in her hand. Too less but still can't lose hope!
As she felt the man approaching already close to her, she turned on her heels at a good lightning speed, taking the person at awe. Her eyes that had been frail and weak moments before suddenly turned so sharp that pierced the soul away from the man's body.
Bringing a body chilling smile over her lips, she said, "Lesson 2: Never judge your enemy with the way they present themselves to you. You might be mistaken for their trap".?As her words got completed, she snatched away the pen from his hand and then left a harsh kick of agony on his stomach.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe other people of the group took some time before realizing the happenings at the front. They were only brought back to reality when they saw their leader falling on the floor with a loud thud.
Their eyes went back to the lady whom they have taken to be a weak beauty but who has suddenly turned out to be an unfathomable tough one to take down a man double her size. What on the Earth was she? Their arms instantly got all stretched to point the pistol points towards Li Xue.
"Oops, sorry! I have no personal issues with you all. I am just chasing the decided time to reach your Boss. If you want an easy play then give me the obstruction-free way to reach him. If not, then sorry I would not mind to bring you all in the same condition" she said, gesturing to them to look at the man on the floor at the end. He was still twisting and curling in agony holding his stomach hard.
Looking at him in such pain, they were so lost in the trance that they did not even realize when Li Xue moved to walk in front of them, close enough that their nuzzles of the pistols were no longer aiming at her.
"What happened people? Still in dilemma? Want some of my help in making decisions? Don't worry I am good at giving suggestions", she suddenly said out loud bring them out of their trance at once.
Seeing her so close the group men almost stumbled back at their footing but one of them was quick enough to get back a good hand on the game. "Don't act too smart lady. Though you were good before, don't forget we are still men with loaded weapons. Don't think that you will be able to escape, after all, you are still a woman".
Li Xue looked at the person for a moment. Her smile deepened at his words. Shaking her head to his gender-biased attitude, she said. "Sigh! You got there wrong. Though I am not a feminist personality in my life, hearing such words pisses my mood off. Do women have to prove their skills and power to sick headed people like you". She said and the other moment a twitching painful yelp was heard in the air.
