Chapter 68: Chapter 68

68 Ch. 68 Aria’s Killer Intent

“But keep this in mind, once you throw yourself into the ocean, I’ll take Lori to America and hand her over to my brother’s family.”

Anxia’s steps stopped when she heard her husband’s last sentence.

Richard’s twin brother? Raymond? Does that mean her daughter will meet Michele Wong??

The thing she hated most was to see Michele Wong’s face, let alone to see her daughter under that hateful woman’s wing. It seemed she was careless... too careless, even forgetting about the fact that Richard Calvin, her daughter’s father, was her nemesis’s brother-in-law.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t give in and thought to give Lori to Richard wholly and leave this island.

Anxia turned and glared at Richard.

How dare he!? It was clear that Richard knew that Anxia really hated Michele and even wanted to destroy the girl’s happy-marriage life four years ago. But that man casually said he would hand over her daughter to her nemesis?!

“Don’t you dare to do that! You have no right to give my baby to that woman!”

Richard’s raised an eyebrow, seeing her sudden wrath and eyes filled with hatred.

.....

“I’ve told you before,” Richard also turned to face his wife and continued his sentence, “I want to give Lori a whole family in her life. If you leave here, I’ll consider you dead. If you die, what’s the point of me caring for her alone? Better to leave it to my brother. She is still a baby. I believe she wouldn’t mind living with my brother and his wife. And over time, she would forget about her birth parents. Perhaps, she might see Michele as her mother. Don’t you think?” Richard deliberately emphasized Michelle’s name to provoke Anxia.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You won’t.” this was out of her calculation. She was certain Richard wouldn’t hand Lori to anyone else, even though he was his own brother. Richard adored Lori, so how could this man be part away from his daughter? “You can’t do that. You... don’t you...”

“You believe I love Lori? I do love her, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let other people take advantage of my affection for her.”

No. Richard was fooling her. He was only bluffing.

“You think I’m lying to you, don’t you? Why don’t you find out tomorrow? That is if you survive the sea waves.”

Both could hear the sound of the waves and the cold night air blowing so hard it pierced their ribs.

At this time, there was an incredible upheaval within Anxia. Will she be able to leave her daughter in the hands of her enemies, or will she have to face the loss of someone significant in her life?

Ling Meng was indeed not related by blood to her. But that woman had been with her ever since Anxia was trained to be a killing machine by Master Yu.

While no one paid attention to her cries, Ling Meng accompanied her. While no one knew she was sick, Ling Meng took care of her. And when she was in danger, Ling Meng risked her life to protect her.

Ling Meng was not a friend to her, but more than that. The woman was like a mother figure who was always by her side when she was sad or miserable. In this world, only Ling Meng was the one who always supported her selflessly and would never betray her.

Anxia had lost many people she loved, starting from her grandfather, who always bought her new toys, then her loving father and mother. She no longer wanted to lose Ling Meng or her daughter to her enemy’s hands.

If Michele had known that Lori was her daughter, that woman would have tortured Lori and would not have given Lori a happy life.

Anxia clenched her hands into fists until her fingernails dug deep into her skin. She removed her duffel bag and unhooked her life jacket. He didn’t care about the night wind that chilled her to the bone and walked towards Richard.

Anxia threw her fist at Richard’s abdomen, which the man dodged nimbly. The surroundings around them were extremely dark, and the flashlight that Anxia had brought was lying around, along with the backpack she had taken off.

They only rely on the imperfect moonlight and their hearing.

Like a professional killer who sneaked into the house without making a sound, her footsteps on the sand were utterly inaudible. Richard’s ears could not hear her footstep because Anxia’s movement was covered with the sound of the waves.

As a result, Anxia managed to kick Richard’s heels making Richard’s body fall backward, earning a groan to escape from Richard’s mouth. Before he could get up, Anxia struck his chest with a jump and rammed her elbow directly into Richard’s chest, making the man unable to breathe for a moment.

Anxia immediately stood up to kick the man’s body, but this time Richard managed to block the kick with his hand. He didn’t expect Anxia to use her other foot to kick the sand and make it spray on his eyes.

Anxia’s way of fighting this time was significantly different from the first time when Anxia sneaked in to pick up Lori at her villa.

At that time, Richard didn’t feel the killing aura within Anxia, and she didn’t really hurt him because she didn’t plan to kill Richard.

Even yesterday afternoon, Richard still didn’t feel the murderous aura from his wife when Anxia put poison in his food or hid the knife under the dining table.

But this time is different. Richard could feel the girl’s intense killing intent. And the way she moved to attack him was neat, as if the girl had thought it through.

This time Qiao Anxia was determined to take his life tonight.

“Finally, you showed your monster side, huh? This time you seriously want to kill me?”

“...” There was no response from Anxia as if the girl couldn’t hear anything he was saying.

Richard himself was also at a disadvantage. He could indeed fight, but he was not a professional fighter who often fought to hurt others or solve problems with violence.

He always solved it by threatening or relying on state attorneys. He seldom fights or fistfights to show who is the strongest.

Richard knew martial arts, but that was for himself and defense. His training wasn’t for attack or kill, contrary to what Anxia had learned.

In addition, his vision in this kind of darkness was minimal, and the waves didn’t help his hearing.

Unlike Anxia, who has been trained to adapt to every kind of environment, she still could catch any sound, even if the wave disturbed her. And her eyesight could still function properly as if she was seeing in daylight.

Currently, Anxia’s winning percentage in defeating Richard was much higher than usual.

Strangely, why had the girl stopped attacking Richard?

Richard’s eyes still couldn’t open because sand was still in his eyes. Richard’s condition was currently vulnerable, and if Anxia was to kill him right then and there, then this was a golden opportunity for that woman.

But... why isn’t she moving?

Richard couldn’t see and had to strain his ears to find out the girl’s movements. He was concentrating so hard on listening to the slightest sound his wife made.

But nothing. There was no sound of human movement as if the girl didn’t move at all.

Or is it possible that... Anxia gone to the sea?

Little did he know, Anxia had picked up a stone from the sand under her feet. It was small but rough enough to kill someone if she got the skill.

Using the stone, Anxia could kill Richard with a single blow to the head. With the right pressure and hitting points, Richard’s brain would bleed and surely die in this place if he didn’t get first aid immediately.

Anxia was ready with her hand stretched out and standing right behind him to slam the rock on the man’s head.

She was sure Richard had not sensed her presence behind him because Anxia had skillfully concealed her murderous aura. She also knew Richard’s weakness was that the man couldn’t see in the dark, and his hearing wasn’t as sharp as usual due to the harsh waves.

This was the kind of situation she had been waiting for, the moment she so desperately wanted to take this man’s life into her own hands.

But why... why her hand won’t move down? Why did she feel reluctant to kill this man?

Qiao Anxia hated this man to the core. She had never felt as much hatred for someone as she had for this man.

Before, she didn’t like this man in her life, but now she hated this man even more for allowing Ling Meng to be tortured by Master Yu for so long and having the heart to give Lori into her enemy’s hands.

But why did her hands disobey her brain? It was as if a rope bound her hands and immobilized her muscle.

“So pathetic. I couldn’t stop you at the end,” muttered Richard. His tone sounded heartbreaking as if he had just lost something precious.
