章 457: TEST SUBJECT ALPHA

Akira felt a little annoyed by the blatant threat by Hu Lei. The woman seemed to think that she was the queen and the world was her footstool. Furthermore, it was laughable to think that this woman with a belly the size of a planet could do anything. 

However, when she remembered how fast Hu Lei could move and the ease with which she grabbed her sword, she realised that the woman had some capital to be arrogant. Still, it did not sit well with her to be threatened. 

"I think I have something that you want, and I need protection until I can safely give birth to my baby." Akira folded her arms stubbornly over her chest. "If anything, our current relationship is a transaction with interests." 

Hu Lei looked at the adorable and seemingly guileless face of the other woman. She was quite pleased with the show of a backbone. But again, if she did not have her own thoughts and stubbornness, she would be swallowed alive by Kaito.
