1117: Chapter 1122: Are You Lonely?
Yang Yi looked at Cupid, and Cupid looked back at Yang Yi.
After exchanging glances for a while, Yang Yi suddenly said, “You can go now, and I need to check if that person is Nicholas.”
Cupid nodded and said, “Alright, please, I should go back to sleep.”
Yang Yi suddenly said, “Wait, let finish.
Uh, you can leave now, but I would like to have a chat with you.
So, how about this, I’ll have my people check the body and confirm its identity, and since we both have nothing else to do, why don’t we find a place to have a drink?”
Cupid shook his head and said, “No, I won’t go.
I have no reason to have a drink with you.”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “There is a reason, such as making friends?”
Cupid shook his head and said, “No, I don’t have friends, nor do I want to make any.
So I don’t want to drink anything with you, nor chat with you.”
Yang Yi said with a sense of entitlent, “But if you refuse to chat with , it ans you refuse to be friends with .
If you don’t befriend , I’ll have to kill you because I have such a strong guard against you, it even borders on fear, so, I really do want to kill you…”
After saying this helplessly, Yang Yi pointed behind him and continued, “There is a gun aid at your head, not counting those two, so even if you have any arrangents, but if a bullet suddenly blows up your head, instantly severing your cerebellum and leaving you without any neural response, then you wouldn’t have much you can do, right?”
Cupid smiled and said, “Who forces soone to make friends?
You shouldn’t do this.”
“It’s not good, but I can’t help it.
So, you either chat with , or I kill you, or we die together.
Now the initiative is in my hands, I have the right to make requests, and the wisest choice for you would be to agree since just chatting won’t cost you anything.
What do you think?”
After thinking for a bit, Cupid said, “That makes sense.
Chatting with you is the least costly way for to get out.
So, let’s chat and make friends.”
Yang Yi waved his hand and directed at Anton, “Go check the body, take photos, and collect so DNA for identification.
I’ll go have a chat with him.”
After speaking, Yang Yi extended his hand and said, “Please, what would you like to drink?”
Cupid walked alongside Yang Yi and said, “Is it okay if I don’t feel like drinking?”
“As long as you don’t find it boring and awkward.”
“Then let’s have beer, any bar will do.”
“Good, let’s go have beer then.”
They walked slowly, and suddenly Yang Yi said, “When did you take on this task?”
“Half a year ago.”
“So why did you make your move only now?”
“No opportunity, I couldn’t find Nicholas’s whereabouts.
Later, he hired to kill you, and I accepted the job.
I must admit you surprised .
I never thought soone could lay two traps in a row for .
Oh, how did you recognize , the second ti?”
Yang Yi thought for a mont, then said, “How about I be frank, and you be frank too?”
“Okay.”
“I recognized your hands, your hands are distinctive, I rembered them, so I managed to hold back.”
“Impossible!
My hands don’t have any distinctive features!”
“They do.
No obvious features, but your hands are a bit too perfect, to be honest, quite easy to distinguish.”
“Easy to distinguish?”
“For it is easy, but for others, maybe they can’t tell.”
Cupid looked at his own hands and said exasperatedly, “It turns out to be my hands!”
Yang Yi said quietly, “Now I can confirm, you are a man, right?”
Cupid paused for a mont and then nodded, saying, “Yes, of course, I am a man.”
“So what’s with your Adam’s apple?”
“Naturally inconspicuous, and I consciously smoothed it out since childhood through training.”
“Oh, I see.
So, you were hired by Ivan, right?”
Cupid said indifferently, “That’s crossing the line.”
“Sorry, let change the question.
Why did you wait until today to make your move?
You didn’t finish what you were saying earlier.”
Cupid sighed and said, “Because there was no opportunity.
Even if I accepted Nicholas’s employnt to eliminate you, I still had no chance to et him.
The guy is extrely cautious, very, very cautious.
He was even prepared to surrender to you as long as his life could be spared; he was willing to surrender to you.”
After revealing a secret to Yang Yi, Cupid smiled and continued, “After taking the job to eliminate you, I t Nicholas once.
Actually, I had the opportunity to off him, but the problem was that there were too many bodyguards around him.
It’s easy for to kill him, but hard to escape.
What’s more important is if soone finds out I killed my own employer, then do I still even continue being an assassin?
So, I could only wait for the right opportunity.”
“Like tonight.”
“Yes, like tonight.
I made an effort to get the bodyguards away from him, and in addition to your strength being formidable, it was highly possible that you would eliminate him without needing to act.
That’s why the opportunity was indeed tonight.”
After finishing, Cupid looked pleased with himself and said, “You didn’t disappoint .
I was actually quite worried you wouldn’t be able to find Nicholas, but I had confidence in you, believing you would definitely spot the security vulnerability I worked to create.”
Yang Yi also smiled and said, “I just realized tonight that you might want to kill Nicholas.
Of course, I wasn’t entirely sure, but I am relieved that you really did.”
Cupid’s expression grew colder as he said, “That’s impossible.”
“What’s impossible?”
“You couldn’t possibly have guessed I wanted to kill Nicholas.”
“It would’ve been impossible, but my partner reminded , and I suddenly thought, what if you weren’t trying to lure into a trap but indeed wanted to kill Nicholas?
I wasn’t sure, but that’s certainly what I thought.”
Cupid took a deep look at Yang Yi, took a breath, and then conceded, “Alright, I trust you.”
“Hmm, and I imdiately thought that perhaps Ivan hired you first, or so other ans brought you here, but looking at it now, the likelihood that you were paid to co is slim.”
Cupid spoke in a low voice, “I owe him a favor.”
“Do assassins owe people favors too?”
Cupid admitted it, but Yang Yi wasn’t satisfied and asked him another question.
However, this ti Cupid did not answer him.
Cupid was silent, and Yang Yi fell silent too.
After a while, Yang Yi suddenly asked, “Are you lonely?”
“Yes.”
Another silence, then Yang Yi said to Cupid, “Would you like to be friends?”
“Alright.”
“My na is Yang Yi.”
“I’m Bobby, no…
Bobby is the na of my dog.
My real na is Sven, Cupid is my stage na.
Bobby is the na I use when dealing with people.
You can call Sven, or Bobby, but don’t call Cupid.”
“Okay, Sven, can I have your contact information?”
Sven nodded and gave a phone number.
The two continued on their way, and they arrived in front of a bar.
But at the doorstep of the bar, looking at the flickering neon sign, Sven suddenly said, “Maybe we shouldn’t drink, huh?”
Yang Yi thought for a mont and said, “Alright, then let’s not drink.
Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Yang Yi and Sven did not shake hands; they just nodded to each other, one continued on his way, and the other turned to go back.
