The path on the mountain was not an easy walk.
It was not well-maintained because few people would come here. All the steps were built with hard stones left many years ago.
The steps were still wet, perhaps from the rain two days ago.
They were covered with green moss. One could easily slip if they did not take steps carefully.
Queeny lowered her head and walked steadily, step by step.
Felix walked very fast ahead of her as if the steep stairs were no different from the flat ground.
She walked behind him and could see his tall figure every time she raised her head.
Under the golden setting sun, he looked lonely and solitary. The trees and leaves around him made the scene even colder.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak. Later, she brisked up his pace and followed up.
After half an hour or so, they arrived at the cemetery.
It was built halfway up the mountain. Its black archway could be seen from afar.
The archway stood there like a majestic burly soldier, guarding the souls resting inside.
Queeny's eyes became even more severe.
Felix didn't stop until he arrived at the entrance.
Queeny also stopped a few steps behind him. She looked up at the big characters carved on the archway. Then she grinned a ridiculing smile.
"What a surprise! The big Mr. Bissel, famous for being heartless, turns out to be so sentimental! Why did you build this entire cemetery for your brothers? Will someone come and respect as martyrs hundreds of years later?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Felix's face suddenly turned grim.
Queeny only felt a strong wind coming at her. The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her back. Then she found herself pressed hard on the stone pillar.
Back when she was in prison, no one dared to bully her, but she still suffered a lot.
For example, her waist ached due to the illness she got from bending long hours working in prison.
Therefore, being hit by a hard stone on the back felt like stabbing her. She frowned in pain.
Felix grabbed her neck and asked with his teeth gnashed, "Don't make me kill you."
Queeny was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her face turned red.
However, she still tried her best to force a smile.
She looked at him provocatively with an indifferent expression.
What she said next almost drove Felix crazy.
"Well then... why don't you just kill me now? Bury me with them so that you won't feel ashamed when you see them in hell later."
"Queeny!"
The man growled.
His hand was so strong that it almost broke her neck.
Queeny couldn't say anything because the suffocation made her feel dizzy. She almost couldn’t breathe.
She looked at Felix helplessly. His eyes were red, and his handsome face was twisted because of his pain and hatred. He was no longer as gallant as before.
