Chapter 685

With every word that Guan Xi said, Akira Mato’s face darkened.

Finally, he seemed to have been provoked by Guan Xi’s words to the point that he could not take it anymore. He lost his demeanor and roared, “enough, stop talking. Xi, stop talking. ”

Guan Xi was still smiling. The girl was smiling at him. Her smile could be considered pretty, and it was even very gentle.

“How can I not say it? If I don’t say it, Akira Mato, you’ll never know what I’m thinking about. ”

She continued, “promise-keeper, promise-keeper! You want me to stay by your side and let me be a pure promise-keeper. That way, I’ll be completely under your control, and there won’t be so many things. ”

Akira Mato’s face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. “I want you, not a Marionette. ”

“Then it’s a pity. A marionette is at least easier to control. You’re too greedy. ”

“I’m too greedy? ”

Akira Mato smiled. His smile seemed a little sad, but it was only for a moment. It was so fast that no one could notice it. “Xi, I’m not greedy. I just… like you and love you. ”

Guan Xi bit her lip.

She paused for a moment and did not respond. Instead, she said,

“since I have feelings, it’s not something you can control. I can choose who I like, who I want to be with, and what kind of life I want. ”

“So you chose Xiao Jiuyan! ” Akira Mato asked gloomily.

Guan Xi replied calmly, “yes. ”

“But XI… ”

Akira Mato also calmed down at this time. His Blue Eyes were like calm blue seawater. He also smiled. “without my permission, do you think you can be with Xiao Jiuyan like this? ”

Guan Xi pursed her pink lips and didn’t say anything.

Akira Mato reached out his hand to Guan Xi again. “Come Back, Xi. Because it’s you, I’ll say it again. Come back. I’ll let bygones be bygones. ”

“Ha… ”

Guan Xi chuckled softly. She lowered her eyelashes slightly, and her thick and long eyelashes trembled. She looked at the kill knife in her hand and smiled faintly.

The next second, she raised the kill knife and dug into the gunshot wound on her shoulder.

She had taken a bullet for Xiao Jiuyan, but the bullet did not pierce through her shoulder. It stuck in her shoulder, and her self-healing ability was very strong. In such a short time, the wound had almost healed.

Only the bullet hole on her clothes and the dried blood showed that she was injured.

“Madam! ”

Xiao Jiuyan called out hurriedly.

Guan Xi’s small face was expressionless. She slowly put the killing knife into her shoulder, moved her wrist, and dug out the bullet.

Nichkhun, vint, and more than a dozen burly mercenaries holding guns all sucked in a breath of cold air.

How painful it would be to dig out the bullet with a knife when the wound was about to heal.

However, the person who did this acted as if nothing had happened, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

This was a woman.

She was the guardian of the Akira family!

These mercenaries were also making a living on the line of life and death. They usually felt that they had put their lives on the line, but at this moment, their bodies all felt a chill.

Akira Mato looked at Guan Xi coldly. His icy blue eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. His hands, which were hanging by his side, were trembling slightly.

Clang

The bullet landed on the concrete floor of the warehouse, making a soft sound.

Fresh Blood Oozed Out of Guan Xi’s shoulder, but she didn’t pay any attention to it. Anyway, the wound would heal on its own soon, so it didn’t matter.
