Chapter 220

This was a villa perched atop a mountain, eerily still beneath the shroud of night.

Yet inside a luxurious living room, the lights blazed bright.

A middle-aged woman held a glass of red wine, savoring the wonderful vintage within, seemingly oblivious to the disturbance outside the door.

She appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six, with fair skin and a slender figure; every gesture carried an air of dignified elegance.

Kuchiki Senya stood hidden in the shadows, watching the woman seated on the sofa.

This woman was none other than the Kitagang family head's elder sister—Kitagang Junko!

"Kitagang Junko," Kuchiki Senya murmured. "I didn't expect us to meet so soon..."

"Stop hiding. I know you're here!" Kitagang Junko suddenly spoke.

"This is something I didn't expect either." Kitagang Junko looked at the young man, a teasing glint flashing in her eyes. She took a sip of red wine, shook her head, and seemed genuinely regretful: "What a pity. The relationship between us has grown worse and worse—so much so that I've already begun looking forward to seeing you writhe in agony."

"Sister Junko is still as outspoken as ever." Kuchiki Senya lowered his head and chuckled, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Actually, our relationship wasn't bad before, was it? We could have been very good friends." Kitagang Junko said.

"Yes, so-called friends—those who stab you in the back." Kuchiki Senya shook his head, then rested his long blade across his shoulder and said, "This time, the Kitagang family owes me, so I've come to collect the debt."

"I've had enough over these years too." The light in Kitagang Junko's eyes turned icy cold: "If not for you people, how would my father have died, how would my brother have ended up in such a state? That's why I sent people to assassinate him!"

After a pause, Kitagang Junko added, "Back then, my brother Kitagang Takashi was killed by you too, wasn't he?"

"That's right, I did it." Kuchiki Senya grinned: "So your family owes me two lives."

This man is a complete and utter madman!

223. Then Kill Me Now

"If you kill me now, it might resolve part of the grudge. Otherwise, you'll never find your family." Kitagang Junko said: "And you can't guarantee that killing Kitagang Rukawa this time won't trigger a second uprising."

"In this world, what secret lasts forever? When I kill someone, traces are bound to be left behind." Kuchiki Senya bent his knees slightly and sat right down on the sofa: "You're a smart woman—you should know what choice to make."

Kitagang Junko said calmly, "No, I don't think I should choose to submit. Besides, doing so would harm my family's interests."

"Interests? Heh, those are all worldly possessions." Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes and laughed.

A cruel, cold smile played across his face: "If you want revenge, you can keep pushing forward."

With that, he stood up and walked outside.

"Aren't you worried that once Kitagang Rukawa comes back to life, he'll unleash a mad revenge on you?" Kitagang Junko asked.

"Why would I worry about that?"

Kuchiki Senya turned his head and glanced at his sister: "He won't survive tonight, will he?"

After a pause, he continued, "Neither will you."

With that, the little bastard turned and left.

"Bastard!"

After the little bastard left, Kitagang Junko slammed the table and rose, cursing. Her chest heaved violently, and her breathing grew coarse and heavy.

"Lady Junko, are you alright?" A servant hurriedly steadied Kitagang Junko.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Kitagang Junko snorted coldly: "That little brat—I'll tear him apart!"

"I just saw the blade at his waist," the servant said. "He's probably a dangerous one."

"No matter how capable he is, so what? This is Kitagang Manor!" Kitagang Junko said viciously: "That bastard—I will definitely kill him!"

At this moment, Kitagang Junko looked just like a shrew.

"Lady Junko, I think we'd better be cautious. I have a feeling that kid is very Xie Sect..." the servant hesitated, then said: "After all, Mr. Kitagang died at his hands..."

This servant was also Kitagang Junko's confidante. She knew her lady's temperament well—once the lady flew into a rage, she would charge ahead without a care. At times like this, a reminder was necessary.

"I know who he is, but so what? He's still just a youngster in the end!"

Saying so, Kitagang Junko suddenly swung out a slap!

Slap!

The servant's head exploded instantly!

"No matter who he is, anyone who dares to come here and cause trouble—I will absolutely not let him off!" Kitagang Junko's face was dark with malice, and she shouted: "Someone come!"

Her personal bodyguard emerged from the stairwell: "Lady, your orders."

"Send word down—gather every ounce of the Kitagang family's strength! Prepare for battle!" Kitagang Junko roared.

With that, she walked into the room and began getting dressed.

However, when Kitagang Junko finished dressing and came out, she discovered that all the bodyguards in the hall had collapsed onto the floor.

The neatly arranged bodies lay across the center of the courtyard—a shocking scene, even somewhat tragic.

"This..." Extreme surprise showed on Kitagang Junko's face. She looked around: "What on earth happened? Could this be some kind of hypnosis?"

Kuchiki Senya had to pull this stunt before leaving! He really wouldn't quit!

Indeed, since Kuchiki Senya had finally made a trip to Kitagang Manor, he had to stir up some commotion. So as he left, he hypnotized an entire floor of bodyguards.

He believed that even if these bodyguards were killed, they wouldn't arouse any suspicion—they'd simply be assumed to have died suddenly in their sleep.

These fellows had been far too arrogant on a daily basis. Kuchiki Senya needed to make them pay a price!

224. Reinforcements Arrive!

"I don't believe that kid could possibly have such a Gao Chao level of hypnosis!" Kitagang Junko's mind raced: "I'll contact the other warrior squads of the Kitagang family right now! Have them come to provide support!"

Though Kitagang Junko was usually quite ruthless, she was, after all, a woman—deep down she was still relatively kind-hearted. She instinctively assumed that the Kitagang family's warriors were engaged in a clash with some mysterious expert.

What this Kitagang Junko did not know at all was that the moment she hung up the phone, the entire Gangshan Shanzhuang had already plunged into darkness.

All the blazing lights in the manor vanished, leaving only Kitagang Junko alone—an especially eerie sight!

"What on earth is this!" She stared at the pitch-black night outside the window, her voice tinged with panic and fury.

All of this was thanks to that man!

Though this Kitagang Junko appeared overwhelmingly domineering on the surface—even somewhat aggressive—in truth she was a paper tiger. The moment danger appeared, she would become utterly cowardly!

In this stretch of dark silence, one's whole body tensed up, and a sense of unease rose up unbidden!

A strong, ominous premonition welled up in Kitaoka Junko's heart!

Yet at that moment, she heard a soft sigh.

"Since you've come here, you'd better behave yourself…"

Hearing those words, Kitaoka Junko's heart clenched violently!

A thick chill surged from the soles of her feet and flooded her entire body!

She raised her head, looking toward the direction the sigh had come from, and saw a figure right there.

It was Kuchiki Senya, who had just left.

When had this guy gotten into the living room? She hadn't noticed a thing!

"You bastard!" Kitaoka Junko snapped angrily. By instinct she reached out with her right hand and drew the gun tucked at her waist!

"You'd better put that gun away, because it might make me very unhappy."

At that moment, a crisp snap of fingers rang out.

Then, a wisp of ghostly blue flame lit up beside Kitaoka Junko.

The blue firelight reflected on Kitaoka Junko's pretty face, producing an extremely intense visual impact.

"Ah!"

The next second, her scream rang out!

This was the first time Kitaoka Junko had felt death so close to her!

Her pupils dilated rapidly, her face written all over with horror!

"This is the Kitaoka Estate, this is my territory!"

Kitaoka Junko shouted, trying to grab the coffee table beside her and hurl it at the ball of flame opposite!

Bang!

The coffee table struck the flame and was reduced to ash!

"You lunatic, you're a lunatic!"

At that moment, Kitaoka Junko's wrist was suddenly struck with tremendous force, the pain wringing a pained hiss from her, and the hand holding the pistol was dislocated!

"I don't want to kill women, but that doesn't mean I won't."

Kuchiki Senya said indifferently: "Moreover, for me, in this world, only the dead are worthy of respect."

Having said that, Kuchiki Senya stepped forward, then, with one hand, seized Kitaoka Junko by the collar and hauled her up to his face, his gaze fixed on her.

This woman's skin was Bai Xi and fine, her features delicate, her figure lithe and curvaceous—truly a beauty of the highest order. No matter how fierce she usually was, it couldn't change the fact that she was a woman.

Moreover, beneath that delicate skin of hers, there seemed to be another soul wrapped up inside; otherwise, how could she possibly possess such a vicious, venomous heart?

"…You can't kill me!" Kitaoka Junko shrieked hysterically, seeming completely unafraid of such a threat.
