Chapter 749: Untitled
Meng Lianying was calling. Mo Ye looked at Eleven. The final battle was just tomorrow, so why did she call tonight?
“Pick it up!” Eleven said.
Mo Ye nodded. For all they knew, he might be able to fish some information from Meng Lianying. He hinted to Eleven not to speak and then picked up the call. When he picked up, Meng Lianying’s panicked voice came over the phone. “Ye, I want to see you now.”
Her voice sounded worried and saddening…
“Speak your mind. I will not meet you,” Mo Ye coldly replied while looking at Eleven, who was resting against the pillow next to him. Mo Ye turned on the speaker for Eleven to hear. Eleven was taken aback and shook her head. She trusted Mo Ye. Whether she was listening in or not made no difference.
“Ye, if you want to stay alive, you must come out to meet me,” Meng Lianying said urgently. “If you don’t want to die tomorrow, just come out now. I want to meet you.”
“Whether I meet you or not does not matter. Say whatever you have to say now, or keep your peace. Your reminders are unnecessary.” Mo Ye sounded even colder. “If you are not talking, I will end the call.”
“No!” Meng Lianying suddenly screamed to stop him. She seemed to be out of solutions and could only say, “Ye, even if you hate me and bear a grudge against me, you should know that I will not harm you. Tomorrow—”
She was cut off before she could finish talking. The beeping sound coming from the other end meant that someone had forcibly ended her call. Mo Ye and Eleven looked at each other and knew well what happened.
It was Kahn.
It must have been Kahn. He was the only person who could pull that off.
What was Meng Lianying trying to tell them? Just what did Kahn have up his sleeve? Mo Ye felt his heart wrench with some unease. Considering they were scheming against each other, it would eventually boil down to who would outscheme the other.
Tomorrow would tell whether it was Kahn who outschemed them or otherwise.
“Do you think Kahn has any tricks up his sleeve?” Eleven solemnly asked. She seemed much paler compared to before, almost sickeningly so.
“What do you think?”
“Given his character, I am sure he will pull a thing or two off. I am worried about the danger,” Eleven said. He might have looked up the terrain the castle was on, but Chu Li and company had run through Kahn’s possible courses of action countless times and planned for all of them. Despite knowing they should not panic, Kahn was indeed extremely scheming. However, he should not be as scheming as their entire crew.
“You’re not in a good shape, so stay out of this. I’ll remain at home and protect you,” Mo Ye said.
“How could you remain at home? We are already short on numbers, and we would be one man less if you decide to remain. That will not do…”
“Eleven, this is settled, so do not think too much about it. Whatever you say, I will not leave you tomorrow.” Mo Ye insisted. “If I do not personally protect you, I will not be at peace. Even if I do go, I can’t do anything.”
Eleven was lost for words.
The morning sun cast a gentle light upon Riyadh. With clear skies for miles, all seemed so good.
“Master, we have confirmed that they have left for the castle.” The scout showed him the recorded footage. In the footage, Kahn saw Su Ruyu and Mo Shitian lead a group of them and leave via car.
Neither Eleven nor Mo Ye was amongst them. Mo Ye, who was carrying a lame Ye Wei, along with Chu Li, Black J, and Jason left proudly and impressively. There were also some experts he did not recognize but could not afford to overlook.
He gradually broke into a smile. Meng Lianling, who was beside him, had a slightly puffy face as though she had been slapped extremely hard. Her youthful and lively face seemed a tad sorrowful.
Kahn lifted her chin teasingly. “What’s up? Isn’t this the very ending you’ve anticipated? Don’t you hate Mo Ye and Eleven? Why aren’t you happy at all? Who would have known that you were even thinking of informing them?”
His voice had a chilling coldness that sent shivers up Meng Lianying’s back. It seemed that the slightest misstep on her part would lead him to put a bullet into her head. She was indeed afraid of Kahn.
It was even more so after Ye Wei blinded Kahn in an eye. She realized how terrifying this man was. In his quest to vent his anger, he had no qualms hurting his own and treating life as though it were worthless.
She used to think of how Kahn liked her and loved her and hence indulged her. She later discovered how twisted, vicious, and evil he was. Witnessing his terrifying methods, she started to fear him.
Kahn…
The fear of him forcefully ending the call last night reappeared in her mind.
Meng Lianying forcefully suppressed her emotions and said, “I hate Eleven but not Mo Ye. Zero, please do not do this. Just spare Mo Ye, okay?”
“Spare?! Haha, you know well how I want to get my hands on Eleven, so how do you expect me to spare him?” Zero flung his hands and sent Meng Lianying flying out. The scouts next to him asked him for further instructions.
“As per planned.” Kahn coldly smiled.
“Roger that!” The few acknowledged and backed out. Kahn approached Meng Lianying and gently lifted her head up. “Yingying, if only you were that bit smarter, I could spare your life. It’s kind of a waste to die for a man, no?”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Don’t allow these skills of yours to go to waste. You’d better not sit by the sidelines when I need you.” Kahn gently smiled. “Let’s see how you fare. For all you know, I might just grant you your wish.”
He was blind in one eye, and said blind eye was surrounded by a terrifying wound. His handsome look was made even more terrifying by that eye patch, disrupting the congruence of his face. His handsome face should not have such defects.
“Are you serious?” Meng Lianying’s eyes lit up. “Will you really spare Mo Ye? Zero, I promise you that I will do anything, but you have to promise me that you will spare him.”
“That will depend on how you perform.” Kahn cajoled her.
“Sure!”
When Su Ruyu and company reached the castle midway up the mountain, Kahn was already waiting outside the castle with arms behind him as though he were looking down on the world.
