Chapter 427: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Wei only felt a huge force almost break her, and she landed in a sowhat helter-skelter manner as she was caught off guard. She could not help but roll several tis on the ground and her arm beca numb from the pain. She eventually rolled into a warm hug and her back was no longer painful. When she looked back in astonishnt, she saw a pair of purple eyes in which worry flashed through.
Mo Jue wrapped his arm around Ye family’s waist, and Ye Wei looked up at the roof that was more than ten ters above and then at him. She smiled gorgeously and said, “Dear gorgeous Mo Jue, do you really want to die together with ?”
As though sobody had reopened an old wound, Mo Jue’s gaze sank and he was embarrassed for a mont. He suddenly pushed Ye Wei away hard and did not show her face. Ye Wei coldly smiled and propped herself up from the ground with one arm. She, however, felt a heart-stabbing cold.
She looked around and was shocked. Was this another secret room?
It was another secret room that contained famous paintings and artifacts that was even colder and more sinister than the previous room. There were a few night pearls encrusted into the roof and there was only that bit of light that covered everything in the room. It was neither bright nor dark. Ye Wei stared at the goddess statue in the distance and a famous painting on the wall. It was clear that everything in the room was the sa as above, which ant that one of the places had counterfeit items and the other had the real deal. She seed to understand sothing—that this secret room was the real treasure trove. The one above was a false front.
Those were definitely counterfeits and the real deals were upstairs. Most of Count Henry’s most valuable collection was in this secret room.
The cylinder she was carrying did not fall too far away and Ye Wei went over and took it out. She wore a pair of identification lenses. Mo Jue was already below the painting and coldly said, “Save yourself the effort. This is the real deal.”
“Damn it!” Ye Wei swore crudely and threw the counterfeit away. “Things sure got aningful fighting tooth and nail over a counterfeit.”
Mo Jue did not respond and observed his surroundings in great detail for an exit instead. Ye Wei looked up at him lazily as she rested against the goddess statue to recover her strength. She was not in good shape. If Mo Jue decided to strike, she…
But he… Why did he jump down with her? She forced a burst of laughter and closed her eyes to rest. It was as though he dropped down together with her and she couldn’t help but recall so campy scenes in novels and dramas about people leaping off cliffs to their deaths without hesitation when the other fell off the cliff.
If she did not understand Mo Jue, she would have thought that he really wanted to touch her. In the eyes of an outsider, was he a fool in love? She coldly laughed and decided not to think about it. Ye Wei realized that people really had strange feelings. Once you are used to sothing, you would keep up the habit.
It was as though she had been used to not overthinking about things between Mo Jue and her, but only guessing what he, the godfather of the Mafia, would do, and his ntality. She found that it worked.
Every ti she thought about sothing, she subconsciously avoided it and did not overthink it.
That was good too!
Ye Wei suddenly felt a warm gaze pour on her and opened her eyes. She found Mo Jue standing in front of her and looking down at her. She raised her eyebrows and said, “What’s up?”
Mo Jue knelt down and coldly laughed. “I can’t find a hidden chanism to get out of here.”
Ye Wei acknowledged and did not respond. She laughed and said, “That’s no big deal after all. Since I have soone gorgeous to accompany , it’s fine.”
Mo Jue coldly harrumphed and reached out to remove her mask. Ye Wei slapped his hand away and said, “What are you doing? Don’t molest .”
“Your face is utterly irritating!” Mo Jue coldly said. Ye Wei gently laughed and said, “Your beauty standards are problematic. I had put in the most effort into making this mask. This mask, therefore, is completely perfect, so f*** off if you cannot appreciate it.”
Mo Jue’s face remained sullen and anger burned in his eyes again as he stared at Ye Wei. He did not like the mask on her and wanted her original face. Ye Wei looked around the secret room and shouted upward a few tis, but there was no response. She guessed that Eleven might not have heard it given the excellent soundproofing of the room.
Henry must have been thoughtful enough to co up with a secret room within a secret room. If the two of them had not fought until they triggered that secret chanism, they might never have discovered this treasure. How wonderful!
“This secret chamber is completely sealed off from the outside save an exhaust vent. If that exhaust vent is shut, we are going to suffocate to death,” Mo Jue said as he pointed to the exhaust vent to the right. He had long familiarized himself with his surroundings.
“Even the undead would die for a woman.” Ye Wei decided to straighten her legs and gently smiled. Her smile was a little roguish and yet a little loose. She started brazenly teasing Gorgeous Mo Jue.
Mo Jue, for so reason, suddenly flew into a rage and slapped Ye Wei hard on her injured arm and Ye Wei scread in pain. Although there was so exaggeration, it really hurt. He was really an enough to not stop until he wasted her arm?
Ye Wei stared at Mo Jue hard and Mo Jue went the whole nine yards by sitting next to her whilst reclining against the stone statue unhappily and did not move.
In a cold and sinister secret room, having an unpredictable yet gorgeous person next to oneself was not the best of things. The two of them were rivals who would often send their enemies to kingdom co. Ye Wei looked at herself and then at him. She was at 70% of what she was always capable of. She definitely could not win against Gorgeous Mo Jue. While Mo Jue was always vicious toward Ye Wei, he never killed her.
He, out of his penchant for evil, tortured her.
Ye Wei, in a daze, sohow rembered his vicious expression outside the mansion by the beach and his cold words. Her slightly stirred heart was instantly suppressed and all beca calm.
She was speechless for a mont.
Ye Wei had been sitting for long and grew cold. It did not help that she was sitting next to an ice cube. Ye Wei then pushed his shoulder and asked, “How did you know that I was here tonight?”
“I did not!”
“Nonsense. You clearly knew I was here. I am curious though. How did you manage to locate ?” Ye Wei mused and asked, “Did I allow you to install sothing you shouldn’t?”
“Whether you believe or not is up to you!” Mo Jue coldly harrumphed with his typically cold look. There was even a rage that wished he could smash her in the face to stop her teasing once and for all. He never understood how she could always be so heartless.
“I don’t buy that!” Ye Wei still smiled. To believe him or not was no longer important to her because it carried no significance. Since that did not change the outco, Ye Wei was too lazy to think about it. “So, what’s with your hard-on for this painting?”
“I’m just short of it,” Mo Jue answered the question albeit impolitely.
“Are you so needy to the point you have to do such things?” Ye Wei laughed gorgeously as she leaned into him. Mo Jue’s gaze turned cold and looked at her as though he was looking at all his past enemies. “Stay away from , or I will really waste your arm.”
“Oh, who was the one who drew close to ? This place is so large, so go sit there.” Ye Wei arrogantly lifted her chin. If he crippled her arm, so be it. She would take it that it was his first ti crippling her.
She had never shown rcy before, and she did not grow up by being scared.
Mo Jue coldly looked around quietly as Ye Wei, in his wishes, threw herself into his embrace. The secret room was too cold. It was still Gorgeous Mo Jue’s embrace that was the most comfortable and warm, that she enjoyed. Beautiful Ye Wei had no intention of torturing herself.
“If you really need money, I can be your sugar mommy. Call queen.”
“How la.”
“Since we are not getting out, let’s wait to be saved.”
“Don’t fight with for that painting.” Mo Jue ordered and did not allow Ye Wei to resist. Although he did not allow Ye Wei to resist, he indulged Ye Wei by allowing her to snuggle into his embrace.
“If you are missing a painting, so be it. Why are you so hard up about it? It’s not like I am going to ruin your reputation.”
“My elder brother wants it!”
“My elder brother still wants it… Are you the only person with an elder brother?” Ye Wei slapped Mo Jue’s face neither gently nor hardly and Mo Jue did not avoid the slap. Ye Wei was thankful that she slapped him jokingly. If not, he would have kicked her tens of ters away.
Elder brother, elder brother…
‘Damn it, why is he so obedient toward Big Boss Mo? He is really obedient to a fault.’
“Hey, if your brother has you kill , will you kill ?”
“Yes!” he replied without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Wei was slightly hurt and callously said, “Whenever I am free, Eleven and I will head to Colombia and take him out. I’ve decided that he will be the next target.”
“If anything untoward happens to him, I will kill you!” Mo Jue replied maliciously and insidiously. He would not allow anybody, even Ye Wei, to harm his elder brother.
“You are neither going to convince nor arm-twist into it. Is this your first ti threatening ?” Ye Wei coldly harrumphed.
Mo Jue remained silent. Ye Wei smiled and wantonly caressed his waist. She had silver needles hidden in her palm. She opened and closed her hands to have the silver needles between her nails.
Mo Jue did not move or speak, and Ye Wei said, “Your purpose here tonight is not just the drawing. You want to know the performance gap between Silver Face and us, no?”
When it ca to Silver Face, Ye Wei secretly wondered whether Silver Face hated her most instead of Eleven.
“If you say so!” Mo Jue flatly replied. He did not deny it. When he saw them, he indeed wondered how much of a difference there was between Silver Face and them.
Or, how much had he surpassed them?
He knew that Silver Face had definitely surpassed them as he had a good idea of Silver Face’s ability when he exchanged blows with him. Eleven and Ye Wei, however, were extrely capable of overperforming substantially under specific circumstances. Silver Face, on the other hand, was not capable of that. He hence wanted to know how much Silver Face had surpassed them. As to why he wanted to know that, it was afraid that she would never understand the reasons behind it for her whole life. He had learned how rciless Ye Wei could be.
