"No one said anything about letting them live," assured Chen Zi Han as he tucked into my ice throne. He didn't even bother to look at the n kneeling on the floor before us. "Everything is your decision."
"But I thought we ca here for you and Liu Yu Zeng?" I asked, confused. I would fully admit that my tired brain was more than a little foggy, but that was why we ca here. Right?
"You were the one that said you, and I quote, 'I want to see the person claiming to be my man.' It was a definite turn-on, you claiming us like that," said Chen Zi Han with a wink. He went to stand behind my left shoulder.
"Huh." I didn't see that coming. Oh well, might as well have so fun since this was all my idea. I must have gotten used to being dragged around by Wang Chao and the military that I thought I was dragged here because it was mafia related. "Sorry," I said, apologizing for thinking that Chen Zi Han and Liu Yu Zeng had brought here when it was .
Maybe I did need that sleep after all.
"Don't worry, Princess," said Chen Zi Han as he gave a kiss on my temple. "Liu Yu Zeng and I are more than willing to let you be our head and leader. We can be your guns. We are good at that."
I burst out laughing, but a part of felt soothed by that declaration. I really liked the idea that they would be my guns when I wanted them. And I would be putting them to use here.
"All right," l said, feeling my coffee finally getting to work. Even though I was waking up, I still took out the energy drink and cracked it open. "Let's get this shit done," I said as I chugged back half of the carbonated, sugary goodness. Nothing beats the taste of a good energy drink, that is for sure.
"Slow down, Baby," said Liu Wei coming up to my other side and taking the already-emptied can from my hands. In my defense, it was one of the smaller ones. "You aren't going to be able to fall asleep with all of this caffeine in your system."
"You're kidding, right?" I asked him, confused. I stretched my neck and let out a low moan when I found a tight muscle. "My addiction to caffeine started in my second life. I would drink it just to be able to stay awake for days at a ti. Especially when I was in situations where sleeping was not an option. However, when you start consuming a lot of caffeine, sothing really weird happens. Not enough when you are tired, and it will put you to sleep. Too much, and it will give you a brief shot of energy before I completely crash. I have about an hour before I am face down on the ground. Shall we get started?"
"Are those the only two options?" asked Liu Wei with a concerned look on his face. "Because those don't sound right or healthy."
I shrugged my shoulders, not really caring. I had long accepted that my body did things differently compared to the average person. It was not my fault that sotis energy drinks would make sleep. "Well, there is a third option where my body has had so much caffeine that it starts to reject it, and I get sick to my stomach after drinking it."
"I think we are going to have to find you a doctor," suggested Liu Wei, taking out a pen and notepad from a back pocket. I was almost convinced that Liu Wei had his own space where he put things when he didn't need them because he had so of the most random things on hand.
"ntal or physical?" I asked with a smirk as Liu Yu Zeng ca closer to my throne. Liu Wei rolled his eyes at my question and put away his notebook. Then the three of us turned our attention to the two Liu Yu Zengs, more than happy to let them sort things out on their own.
Should I bring out so popcorn?
My Liu Yu Zeng stood in front of the fake Liu Yu Zeng before crouching down near his head. I was about to warn him about the sll, but if he slt anything, it didn't seem to phase him. "Do you know what I thought when I first heard that there was soone going around with my na, claiming to be ?" he asked, forcing the other man to look up at him.
"I would fully admit that I was pissed. Here was soone doing sothing in my na, in my syndicate's na, that I never would have allowed to happen. I thought that you were completely ruining everything I have worked my whole life for."
The man on the ground whimpered anxiously but didn't say a single word. I wanted to know what kind of face Liu Yu Zeng was making, but based on the expression of the fake; maybe it was a good thing that I couldn't see him.
"But then a light went off. If you kept using my na, then I could easily disappear and leave everything to you. You could and would have beco head of the Red Dragon Syndicates. You could have kept going with your little commune, all happy and content."
There was a look of hope on the fake's face, as if Liu Yu Zeng had just granted him a pardon or sothing. "I think you are mistaken. I would not have given up my na for you. I would have given up my na in a second for her." He pointed to on the throne when he said his statent, and I could practically taste the honesty in the air at his statent. He would have been more than happy to turn his back on his na, on his family, and on his syndicate if it would make happy.
I briefly looked at Wang Chao, who was standing at the entrance to the living room, ensuring that no one ca in or out. And I would fully admit that a small voice inside my head asked if I thought that Wang Chao would be willing to do that too. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was an actual voice or just my own.
