“You don’t have to know.”

“If you don’t wish to, I won’t force you. It’s just a casual question.” Shen Qianshu’s tone was really calm and casual. It really pissed her off. Black Rose clenched her teeth in anger, yet she could not do anything about her.

“You are rather ambitious. You want me to be your puppet so you can control Black Rose. Why do you want such a strong power for? Who in Ghost City do you want to kill? You would long have been able to do just that.”

“Do you really think that it is so easy to destroy Ghost City?” Black Rose said. “Without the help of the Roses, I wouldn’t even have been able to get what I wanted. Gu Yuanli refuses to kill Gu Chun. He will regret it.”

“Second Brother regretted a long time ago,” Shen Qianshu said. “Regret being your son.”

Shen Qianshu was slapped again. She covered her face and sneered. “I said, is your other hand paralyzed or something? Why do you keep slapping people on the same side?”

Getting hit only on one side of the face every time really hurts.

At least change your hand and hit the other side of my face.

Black Rose said, “Y-You...”

Shen Qianshu looked stubborn, and it really maddened her.

Black Rose pulled up her sleeves and left. She yelled. “Watch her closely.”

Maxi said, “Yes!”

Shen Qianshu rubbed her face. It really hurt. She felt like her eyes were really red. Things were a little blurry from being hit by her. When Maxi came in, she saw Qianshu’s face slightly swollen.

“How miserable. She must have taught you a lesson.”

“Young girl, let sister teach you a lesson. We don’t even know for sure who taught who a lesson. Don’t judge a book by its cover, you will lose out.” She had at most only been slapped thrice. Her face would hurt for a while. Compared to the abdominal pains she had to deal with previously, this just did not hold a candle to that.

But it may not be so for Black Rose.

Who knows? She might explode when she returns.

Thinking of Black Rose’s angry back view, Maxi nodded. “Makes sense. I feel enlightened.”

Miss Shen’s powerful ability is pretty good too.

Black Rose seldom gets so angry.

Maxi said, “I suggest that you control yourself before she shoots you to death even before training begins.”

“I think that since I’m going to die sooner or later, there’s no need to be so persistent about anything. I’ll eat whatever I want and say whatever I want. If I want to anger someone, I should do that sooner. Being politically correct and humble isn’t my thing.”

“You’re too arrogant,” Maxi said.

Shen Qianshu said, “You haven’t seen me when I’m arrogant.”

“Believe me, you are already very arrogant.”

Maxi sat down and took some ice over to put her face. “Put some ice on your face. It’s ugly.”

“Thanks.” Shen Qianshu took the ice and pressed it against her face. Indeed, it made her feel more comfortable. Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the island. There was rapid gunfire that sounded as if they were just beside their ears. Shen Qianshu could even feel the bullets landing on the beach and sending the white sand into the air.

What’s going on? What’s going on?

Everything was fine. Why was there gunshots? It sounded as if they were just outside the room.

“Who is shooting?” Shen Qianshu asked. She really had a shock.

“Amazing, you know fear?”

“What a joke, of course I am scared!”

Maxi said, “The front line that is here to kill you.”

“Young girl, although you aren’t very lovable, I feel an unknown sense of security around you right now. Why are you protecting me? Black Rose said that you are the person who is most likely to become a first Black Rose. If I’m dead, you should usurp the throne.”

Maxi said, “I’m a righteous person. My ambition is to... become a military officer.”

“Ahh... Big dreams. Yet you became a murderer.”
