Amanda feel into a pool of blood, and Qi Leren raised his head in shock. Behind the open window of the car that just drove in, was the icy look of a little boy…. Ning Zhou.

⁠—⁠—One more.

He mouthed.

Qi Leren smiled, and his heart that nearly exploded from his heart beating violently finally calmed down.

At this moment, Qi Leren couldn’t help but feel that it’s a pity. It’d be nice if the other party didn’t get the system prompt, that way he can pretend that it was him who died and not Amanda, have Luna let her guard down, then kill her.

Unfortunately, sometimes the skills acquired are not always used in the right situations. (1)

But if he can’t even deal with a woman who was shot in the leg and can’t run far, then Qi Leren would be ashamed to call himself a “master” in the half-field level.

Luna also realized that Amanda was already dead, and right now she’s at an absolute disadvantage. The other party can just wait until she loses too much blood and faints, and they’ll easily win.

But she’s yet to figure out why Amanda died, was she not shooting fast enough?

No, a car came in just now, but the driver didn’t flee away like the client and prostitute pair, that means…..

The other party most likely had backup.

This can also explain why Amanda died at gunpoint despite her calculations.

Luna’s heart sank, if she risked her life, she might be able to cause them some trouble or even kill one of them, but it was meaningless. Dying in this copy is nothing more than losing the remaining 80 survival days, she can afford to lose it.

But if there’s a chance of surviving, she certainly has to give it a try.

“Let’s make a deal.” Luna’s voice came from behind a car, “I’ll tell you the identities of the other two players and you’ll let me go.”

The moment she let out her voice, Qi Leren had already figured out where she is, he didn’t conceal his footsteps and walked towards her.

Luna stood up and asked calmly: “How is it?”

“Holding a gun isn’t really sticking to the deal, madam,” said Qi Leren who was hiding behind a car.

Luna sneered: “As if you’re not holding a gun yourself.”

With a ‘thud’, a pistol was thrown seven or eight meters away from her.

“I already surrendered my weapon,” Qi Leren said.

Regardless of whether the other party had several guns on him, he had good intentions to talk about it, Luna felt it, so she cautiously sound out again: “Your partner also has a gun.”

Another sound of footsteps came, it was a lot gentler, then it stopped next to the man. There was another ‘thud’ and the second pistol was thrown to the same place.

“How about now?” The other man said, he sounded like a mature man with a damaged lung due to excessive smoking.

Luna’s heartbeat sped up like crazy, her hands holding the trigger was sweating, if she acts now…. calm down, the other party can do this, it was definitely relied on. Not to mention, the other party can escape when the situation’s not good, meanwhile she has to drag her injured leg.

“First name.” Luna said, standing up with difficulty while bracing herself on a car and moving towards her own car, “James Martinez, the top candidate for the next mayor of Feikexin City. He advocates being tough on the mafia and reinforcing control over the public security. Your recent high profile actions truly have increased his hopes of being elected. But let me warn you, this guy has already been bribed by Duccio——I was there at that time, his performance, honestly, this player isn’t good at acting. I was looking for an opportunity to attack him, you should do it as soon as possible. Because once he’s elected, he’ll take the lead in clearing up you Irish mafia’s underground bars and brothels, cracking down on your secret wineries and alcohol stashes……”

Luna already touched the side of her car, opening the door with difficulty and sat in. The pain in her injured leg made her feel like she was about to faint.

She gripped the steering wheel in one hand and held the gun tightly in the other.

——If I run them over right now.

This thought flashed through Luna’s mind, but then a cold hard object was pressed against the back of her head.

She froze in her seat.

The rearview mirror showed the person sitting in the back seat. He stood up, the gun in his hand was behind her head, and he looked at her coldly.

“You…. you….. Master Raphael…..” The boy’s name arised in Luna’s blank mind——Duccio’s missing son.

On the road in the distance came a large truck. The rumbling of its engine hovering over the silent parking lot and the bright headlights sweeping across this grimy darkness.

Luna raised her head, the assassin in the distance had picked up the gun that was discarded on the ground and was walking towards her unhurriedly.

The flashing light beamed from behind him. In this brief millisecond, he was like the grim reaper in black clothing walking in the dazzling light that’s enveloping him. He was then plunged into the darkness, only a blurry figure remained.

Luna couldn’t help squinting her eyes, the stinging light made her tear up.

The assassin in the light raised his gun.

The sound of the truck’s engine from the distant reached its highest point at this moment, like the climax of a grand opera. The soprano singer standing under the spotlight sang a perfect tune. The audience all held their breath, enjoying this moment to their heart’s content.

Then at this moment, a gunshot sounded.

The lights went out, the curtain fell, and the singing stopped abruptly.

【The Queen of Hearts is out. 】

During the drive home, Qi Leren’s heartbeat still hadn’t gone back to normal.

Tonight’s fight was a series of events. At first, he went into the bar undercover to gather information then identified Luna and Amanda as two players. Then, he was getting ready to ambush the opponent, but they saw through him and he was almost thrown into the gutter. When the three were at a stalemate, two passersby and Ning Zhou entered the chaos, and they successfully killed Amanda…..

But just now, the chemistry between the two of them was really good.

Qi Leren chuckled.

While he was talking to Luna, Ning Zhou already took a detour, he knew which car was Luna’s car——the information Qi Leren got from Rum was never hidden from him——He got into the car one step before Luna, then waited for Luna. Once she let her guard down, thinking that she can successfully get away, the two caught her off guard.

As for the two different sounds Luna heard, including the footsteps, they were both actually from Qi Leren. The purpose was to make Luna think the both of them are hidden in a place not far in front of her.

If it was bright enough here and if she looked closely, she’ll realize that one of the guns that was thrown on the ground is Amanda’s.

“How on earth did you drive here?” Qi Leren asked Ning Zhou.

Ning Zhou was pressed on the passenger seat because Qi Leren firmly didn’t allow a ‘seven year old boy’ to drive, and he didn’t want to be stopped by the traffic police.

Ning Zhou didn’t say a word. He didn’t want to recall the struggle of driving with a short-handed and short-legged body, almost being caught by the traffic police, and the anger from what almost happened with Qi Leren.

Well, the car was still stolen. To make up for the owner’s loss, he left a ‘rental fee’ in the car, and he had to make a note for the owner to let them know where the car was borrowed.

Seeing that Ning Zhou was silent, Qi Leren felt the high tension in the air. He thought that maybe Ning Zhou was still depressed about his unfamiliar body, so he comforted him: “Anyways, this body is only temporary. Although it’s not very convenient, but it has its benefits, and at least you look cute.”

Ning Zhou: “…..”

Qi Leren said in his heart: No, he seems even angrier!

Qi Leren decided to salvage it: “Uh…. Thank you for today, if it wasn’t for you, I would’ve died.”

Ning Zhou: “……….”

Qi Leren screamed internally: Ahhhhh, I said the wrong thing again!

Qi Leren was struggling: “It’s all because SL Data can’t be used in this copy, otherwise I can fake my death once and wait until Amanda let her guard down…..”

Ning Zhou turned his head and stared at him coldly.

Qi Leren’s heart froze: It’s over, he’s really pissed off this time!

At this awkward moment, the traffic police in front stopped them and inspected their documents.

“Where are you both going, and what’s your relation to each other?” The traffic police casually asked.

The nervous Qi Leren blurted out: “We’re going home, I, I’m his father.”

Ning Zhou: “………………”

Translator’s Notes:

I do not know what this means. Do not ask me what this means. I think it was supposed to be some inspirational quote but it didn’t translate very well.

Wow uhh it’s been two months since my last update on this that’s awkward but um I finally had time to finish this! Thank you for being patient always guys. I think my schedule won’t be too packed for the next few months at least so I’ll try to update as much as I can during that time. [smiley face + bow]
