" I hate to do things in a roundabout manner anyway," stated Mo Xifeng with a sigh as she raised her sword and breathed out a sigh. " If this is what you want then, I can only make it easy for you."
" You speak too much for someone young," sneered Chu Ling as she pressed the front of her feet on the ground and rushed at Mo Xifeng aiming her sword at her neck as if hoping to end everything in one clean swipe.
Mo Xifeng did not move instead she waited for the woman to come closer before she raised her hand and then intercepted the sword which was aimed at her neck with her own sword.
With a loud noise, the two swords clashed with one another as Mo Xifeng stopped the sword in between but the woman who was attacking her did not seem to be bothered by her quick reflexes, she simply sneered and then said coldly, " You see? You are still young if you believe that your opponent shall fight righteously. This is all about life and death child, there is no fairness in such scenarios."
Chu Ling then used her other arm to summon a small dagger which she aimed at Mo Xifeng's abdomen. When the latter was busy stopping the sword which was aiming at her neck, seeing Mo Xifeng remain unmoved, Chu Ling thought that she was going to win this small face off but that was until ——
The sound of a large bazooka loading echoed in the surroundings echoed as Mo Xifeng summoned her back armour and loaded it into becoming a bazooka. Even though she couldn't summon the entire mecha energy inside her core, she could still use bits and pieces of it after learning the Seism core technique from her sister, instead of using her core to summon the entire mecha armour, she only used a part of it to morph into a large bazooka.
" You are right, everything is fair in love and war," remarked Mo Xifeng with a calm face as if she hadn't just summoned a grand canon to shoot her opponent down. " I was going to go easy on you but you reminded me why I shouldn't do it, thanks."
Chu Ling: "….."
Her eyes flickered to the bazooka which was hovering over her head and then she turned to look at Lian Shou. For a minute nothing happened but then,
" I think I need to take my medicine," said Chu Ling suddenly as she retracted her sword and dagger while smiling politely as if she did not just try to kill Mo Xifeng. " You have no idea sometimes I would end up getting attacks of craziness and I end up doing some things that I shouldn't do, don't worry…. I am awake now and I will go to take my medicine."
With that, she turned on her heels and then ran away leaving Lian Shou alone.
Sure enough, once Mo Qiang was done calculating the assets which were under Lian Shou's name she was stunned to find that despite only being handed the bank account six months ago, Lian Shou had spent more than a hundred million golden coins as if she was some sort of royal heir.
" You …really don't hold back, do you ?" Mo Qiang drawled after a long time as she looked at Lian Shou who sat on the chair with her hands and feet bounded by non-metallic handcuffs which were purely made out of harmless energy strings. But of course, it was only harmless till Lian Shou sat on the chair without doing anything if she was to find trouble with Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng then those handcuffs would cut off her wrist and ankle without wasting a single minute.
" I … I did not know that the money was not from legal sources!" Lian Shou tried to quibble while trembling, she twiddled her thumbs together and pushed all the blame on her mother. "…. She did not tell me that she made that money through illegal channels, I have no idea what she did to get that money."
Lian Shou was not lying for the sake of protecting her, Madam Lian never disclosed the channels from where the money was coming and because Lian Shou did not wish to get entangled with her parents' mess she also never asked what was going on. She was only responsible for wasting money and nothing else!
" Hmm," Mo Qiang placed the tab in her hands down and then nodded her head with an easygoing smile. " I understand you had nothing to do with this matter, it was all your mother who dabbled in illegal business to make money right?"
