Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm



Wu Bai Hee looked completely shocked that anyone could want her dead. Watching the expressions flashing across her face, Liu Yu Zeng could only laugh.

"You seem surprised," he said as he walked over to the couch and sat down.

"You won't let that happen, right?" she purred forcing herself deeper into his mind. Unfortunately for her, you have to be susceptible to manipulation in order for it to work, and Liu Yu Zeng was not.

"Even if he doesn't, I have no problem pulling the trigger myself," replied Liu Wei with a tired sigh. For the life of him, he couldn't figure out what had called him here. His grandfather slapped the armrest of his chair as he waved his finger at Liu Wei.

"You don't speak to her like that," growled Liu Hao Yu as he stared down his oldest grandson, wondering how on Earth he raised him to be that disrespectful to someone of Wu Bai Hee's caliber.

"It's fine, Liu Hao Yu," Wu Bai Hee purred in response as she turned to look at the man sitting in the head seat. "Besides, I think that it is important that Liu Wei and I have a chance to talk, just the two of us. We have a wedding to plan, right?"

"Of course, if you want to talk to him alone, you can just use my study," said Liu Hao Yu nodding his head. Turning back to his grandson he narrowed his eyes. "Well? Go talk to Wu Bai Hee. Your wedding is incredibly important to the Red Dragon Syndicate."

Liu Wei raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Standing up, he walked over to where Wu Bai Hee was waiting for him. "Touch me and I will have no problem ripping your arm off," said Liu Wei as he strolled by. He wasn't going to put up with anything when it came to her, no matter how innocent it seemed.

She huffed but didn't say anything. Following behind Liu Wei, the man wasn't able to get a glimpse of the malicious look on her face at his words. But it was fine, she would have a long time to break him to her will. There was no need for Wang Chao to be in charge of this city in the next few months, not with her here and Liu Wei in her pocket.

Liu Wei opened the door to the study and let Wu Bai Hee in first. It felt like a viper was at his back and he didn't like that feeling at all.

Watching her going to sit in his grandfather's chair behind the desk, Liu Wei went to sit down in one of the guest chairs. "What do you want?" asked Liu Wei as the stared at the woman in front of him. Letting his eyes go a bit blurry, he saw her flame flickering in the center of her chest.

"I want to make you an offer," she purred as she let out just a bit of her power into Liu Wei's mind. Unfortunately, it felt like she had come up against an impenetrable brick wall. That was not part of her plans. 

"It won't work," assured Liu Wei as he looked at the woman. He was almost thankful that the apocalypse came just so he wouldn't have to marry her. Then again, he was thankful for the apocalypse for so many other reasons, most of which revolved around Li Dai Lu.

"What won't work?" she asked as a small bead of sweat formed at her temple as she continued to push her powers into Liu Wei more and more.I think you should take a look at

"Your manipulation," replied Liu Wei with a tired sigh. "Not only because I am well versed on how to keep a spirit user out of my head, but because you don't have the strength to manipulate me. I am not an old man desperate for power and company."

"You know what I am," she said as she sat back in the office chair. "That should make things a bit easier. What are you?"

"Death," he smiled. There was no way that he would actually tell her what he was. She rolled her eyes at his answer.

"It doesn't matter what you are, what matters is what I can give you," she said as she once again leaned forward and folded her hands in front of her on the desk.

"I don't want what you think you can give me," replied Liu Wei bored. The feeling that he needed to be here was completely gone and it was now time to move on.

"Even if what I can give you is complete power over the zombies and humans?" she purred. There was not a man in the world that wouldn't want that.

"Not interested," answered Liu Wei. "If that is all, I am going to have to get going."

"You are not going anywhere until you agree," snarled Wu Bai Hee coming to her feet and leaning toward Liu Wei. "And you will agree."

"What makes you think that?" he asked, his head cocked to the side.

"Because I know what is going to happen, I know what this city becomes. I can make sure that you are standing on the heads of everyone. Don't you want that?"

"Ah," said Liu Wei nodding his head sagely. "I am guessing that you are reborn?"

She looked startled at his words. Going back to her side of the desk, she took a seat. "I would ask why you would think that, but I assumed that that bitch with you was also reborn. Otherwise, how else would you make it this far and still be human."

"You didn't expect me to be human at this point?" asked Liu Wei with a small smile on his face. "Did you think that I would become a zombie and stand at Wang Chao's side as he took over the entire country?" He remembered what Yang Meng Yao had said about Wang Chao's future and he assumed that Wu Bai Hee was trying to manipulate him in order to get the future she wants. But if she was his soul mate, the fates really screwed up this time.
