Bab 126: 126 - Hong Yunyi (7)

It appeared that even a murderer harbored fear from death.

"Wait!" Hong Yunyi shouted in despair. "Wait, wait! Don't kill me!"

Julian shot him a saccharine smile.

"And why not? The world will be rid of one more scum. Isn't that a great thing?"

Hong Yunyi's brain churned like a tempestuous sea, frantically churning out possibilities. A single, believable excuse could be his salvation.

"I can help you!" He cried out.

"Help me?"

Julian nudged the barrel a hairsbreadth upwards, but the cold weight of the gun remained a constant threat against Hong Yunyi's temple.

"Your man shot me and you slashed my wrist with a blade."

"And I dressed your wound!" Hong Yunyi insisted.

"Not because you are a saint," Julian pointed out. "You were thinking of drinking my blood again at a later time, just in case you needed more."
