" Changle, let me be honest with you, I loved you so much like a sister when we were little. Everything I had I made sure my mum and dad bought it for you, my friends automatically became yours, I loved your mum and dad like my parents but you guys turned out to be my worst enemies. How many major wrongs have you committed against me? Ranging from kidnapping, bullying, accidents, rape and so on but I had never retaliated not because I was stupid but because I was patiently waiting for this kind day. Did you think that you are safe and in perfect shape, right now after all the crime you have committed against others by sheer luck? If that is what you thought then you are absolutely wrong because I made sure I assigned at least four bodyguards to each one of you here for the past four years. I instructed them to monitor you guys every move and secretly keep each one of you safe because I had a score to settle with each one of you. And Mrs Lie, did you think that Changle won all those awards because you sold yourself cheaply to them, of course not. Every time a new award for celebrities was to be awarded, I always ordered my executive assistant to personally call the sponsors to make Changle the winner. Even you Mr Lie, did you think that you got the Director position only because of your hard work? No, no, that was only because I asked my dad to put you in that position. Can you guess why I went out of my way and character to do all this for you guys?", Lie Ruge asked smiling devilishly.
" What nonsense is this b*tch saying", Changle asked sharply. The men standing close to her wanted to deal with her but Lie Ruge signalled them to leave her alone.
" Was it because I still loved you guys? NO. What do you think is the best way to punish a person who is desperate to attain power and wealth at all cost? The best way is to put him in a very high position and then destroy him by snatching that power from him the moment he thinks that he has gotten it all and that is what exactly I did to all of you except Mrs Chang and Mrs Tan. Mr Lie, how did you feel when you got dismissed from your director's position? I bet you must have thought of committing suicide so many times especially when your despicable wife keeps nagging you all day long. What about you Changle, how did you feel when the reputation you have worked so hard to maintained went down the drain within a twinkle of an eye? I'm sure you would have already known by now that I wasn't the one who uploaded the videos since you have already met him. What about you Mrs Lie? How did you feel when those wealthy socialites who have always tried to curry favour with you gossips behind your back? How did it feel to be mocked and ridiculed? Mr Lie, you said earlier that my mum sowed the seed of discord between you and dad right? Do you even know how much my mum loved every one of you? She loved you all like brother and sisters that she never had since she was an orphan. Do you know that she even established a company for you to give it to you on your 40th birthday party but you ruined her surprise for you when you had her assassinated. Will you believe me if I tell you that F&T company in which you siphoned all the money into your personal income was actually the company she wanted to give you on your birthday? She named it using your first name and your wife first name. My father put you in charge of the company without informing you that you were the sole owner of the company because he wanted to surprise you on your 60th birthday but you and your family crumbled the company within the space of six years. Did you manage the company so poorly because you thought it was my father's company? If you don't, believe me, I can have Xu Feng bring the ownership documents of the company for you to see, that the company was yours but don't you worry, just give me the space of three months and I will miraculously revive the company to its fullest potential but too bad you won't be alive to see the company bloom. I have been thinking for the past four years on how to
" What? You want me to become a beggar? I will never accept this; do you think that I am stupid? I know that people don't dare to treat me badly because of the Lie's family influence but I know that everyone will trample on me if I dare lose my entitlements as a member of the Lie's family. How about we make a bet? I heard from Brother Gao Yan that you can fight very well right, how about we fight? The winner will not show the loser any iota of mercy or whatsoever", Lie Changle spoke up confidently. All Yi Lan's men mouth dropped open when they heard the challenge Lie Changle threw at Lie Ruge. Even Lie Ruge was dumbstruck by her words, she could not help turning around to look at Yi Lan.
" Do you know what you are asking of me?", Lie Ruge asked in amazement.
" Are you scared that I will win you and have your head cut off immediately in the presence of your supposed sweetheart? It is alright with me if you want to surrender right now at least by so doing you won't get killed shamelessly without even hurting a hair on my body", Lie Changle said proudly. Lie Ruge almost burst out laughing when she saw her cousin's haughty attitude.
" What makes you think that you will win her?", Yi Lan who was silently listening to their conversation asked sternly.
" I don't know about any other thing but if there is anything, I am better than Ge'er that is fighting. I have been secretly learning martial arts from one of the most outstanding masters for the past three years, I am not a pushover when it comes to handling a sword and dagger", Lie Changle replied confidently as she smiled happily.
" And you assume that you can win against me because you are not a pushover when it comes to sword and daggers?", Lie Ruge asked seriously.
" Of course, I won't force you to fight if you don't want to but not fighting means that I automatically become the winner, what do you say?", Lie Changle asked.
" Ok sure why don't we go outside where there is enough space and brightness. I have never back down from a challenge so come on let's go", Lie Ruge said as she stood up from her seat and walked downstairs to meet them. The men dragged them to the exit while Yi Lan and Lie Ruge followed behind. Lie Ruge was surprised to see that it was already sunset when they went out, she took her stance while Changle did the same.
" Take this, I'm afraid that you might end up hurting yourself if I were to give you daggers", Lie Ruge said as she threw two swords over to Lie Changle.
" This is not a situation for you to worry about someone. If you have time to waste on worrying about someone else why don't you use it to say your last prayer before it will be too late for you to do so", Lie Changle said arrogantly.
" Lie Changle, I'm still asking you about this, are you sure you want to do this? You can walk out here alive because I decided to pardon you but I'm certain you won't be able to save yourself when this ridiculous competition starts so think twice about this", Lie Ruge said. It's wasn't like she wanted to pardon Lie Changle, but she would have kept her words if Changle had accepted her condition, but she knew very well that her prideful cousin will not accept her terms that was why she had given her those awesome conditions, but she didn't guess in her wildest dream that her cousin would choose to challenge her instead of her to walk out of there alive.
" Won't you start the competition or are you going to keep on spewing nonsense all day?", Lie Changle asked sternly as she attempted to attack Lie Ruge but Lie Ruge's words stop her in her track immediately.
" Ok, since you still insist. The rule is that you have fifty moves, if you injure me with one out of those fifty moves then you will be the winner but if you can't hurt me after those fifty moves then you automatically become the loser and like you said the winner will not show the loser any iota of mercy. Your life will automatically be in my hands if you lose the game", Lie Ruge said sternly.
" Fifty moves?", Lie Changle shouted in surprise.
" Isn't fifty moves fair enough or do you want me to increase it to sixty or eighty moves?", Lie Ruge asked ready to grant her cousin her last wish.
" Ge'er, are you looking down on me? How could you say you want to give me fifty moves? I just need at least five moves to get rid of you forever so let's go with five moves", Lie Changle said with a haughty attitude as she gave Lie Ruge a mean glare.
" No, no, no I disagree with you on that, everybody here will say that it is unfair if I give an amateur like you just five moves so let's go with thirty moves. Every attack you throw at me counts so calculate wisely before you launch an attack on me alright?", Lie Ruge said as she held the sword firmly with her right hand.
" You don't have to pretend as though you care, I know that you are just waiting patiently for me to lose so that you will kill me savagely but sorry Ge'er, I won't give you the pleasure to be the winner", Lie Changle said coldly as she launched an attack at Lie Ruge with her double swords suddenly taking everyone by surprise but Lie Ruge dodged the attack by jumping up immediately. Lie Changle attacks were fierce and powerful, she was so surprised when she saw how good Lie Ruge was, she was even more surprised when she couldn't even get closer to Lie Ruge at her fifteen moves not to talk about injuring her.
" Stop this your darn tricks and attack me too. Are you pitying me by only dodging my attacks? I will not hesitate to kill you when the opportunity arises so stop acting nicely in the presence of everyone because I know just how wicked you are", Lie Changle shouted angrily as she launched a powerful attack on Lie Ruge but Lie bent down flexibly and dodged the attack. She quickly jumped up before Changle could seize the opportunity to attack her again.
" Are you stupid? Why I am even asking you whether you are stupid when everyone knows that you are not only stupid but insane too. Why should I pity you when you were the one who suggested this ridiculous competition? I am just waiting for you to exhaust your thirty moves before I start mine", Lie Ruge said annoyingly as she kicked Lie Changle at her tummy, she landed close to her mum who was now crying when she saw that her daughter was at the losing end.
