Because of Bloodmint’s special constitution, the effect of painkillers faded more quickly for her, but she recovered more quickly as well.
The hatred in her heart made her even less afraid of pain, and she slowly stood up.
Seeing that she was standing, Luke let go, then tore off the tape that was over Garcia’s mouth. “I’m sure you want to wish him farewell.” Bloodmint simply nodded in gratitude. She glared at Garcia. “Do you regret it now?”
Garcia’s lips moved, and he suddenly laughed. “Why would I regret it? Your man wanted to steal my money. What’s wrong with killing a despicable thief?”
Bloodmint: “No, my husband already turned Mickey down and didn’t plan to get involved. You knew that, but you still sent people to kill my family to make an example of us, didn’t you?”
Garcia said arrogantly, “Well said. Should I have waited until he stole my money before I did anything? I’m not a judge.” Bloodmint suddenly smiled. “That’s right. Neither one of us is a judge!” She then began to look around.
Luke very considerately pressed the play button again. “There are tools on the workbench to your left.”
Bloodmint and Garcia both looked to the left, only to see a pile of exquisite tools.
“They’re all made of porcelain; all operations are guaranteed safe and sterile,” the anchor said at that timely moment.
Garcia’s face turned blue. “Are you a devil?!”
He had already realized that there were plenty of metal items in this factory, but they were either too big or too far away for him to control.
Luke and Bloodmint had metallic objects on them, but none were lethal.
Garcia was weak at using Magnetic Control at long range; otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept this ability a secret all this time.
His ability was the most useful in a close-range fight. Once it was activated, he could deflect most metals that came within ten centimeters of his body with powerful magnetic force.
It was thanks to this unusual ability that was far more useful than a bulletproof vest that he could avoid what would otherwise have been lethal gunshots.
He had also killed a lot of unsuspecting opponents with the special razor blade.
But his tricks all proved useless today.
Even though he deflected Luke’s bullets several times and threw out the special blade which he considered his trump card, he still hadn’t been able to avoid being caught.
A moment later, Garcia’s screams rang out in the warehouse.
Bloodmint wasn’t nearly as brutal as Rebecca.
Rebecca had roasted Mr. X alive first for more than ten minutes, but Bloodmint simply destroyed Garcia’s hands before ending his life.
She said it was because Garcia’s hands were covered with the blood of the innocent.
Helping the exhausted Bloodmint back to the workbench, Luke told her to get some rest, then took Garcia’s body out.
Two minutes later, he came back in and cleaned up the scene. Then, he typed and asked, “Where do you want to go now?”
After a brief silence, Bloodmint said, “If possible, can you drop me off at the Monterey Park Cemetery?” Luke: “As you wish.”
The east side of Los Angeles wasn’t peaceful tonight, with police sirens blaring everywhere every now and then.
Luke easily avoided the patrol cars and sent Bloodmint to the cemetery.
He helped the woman stagger into the cemetery and find the right place among a bunch of tombstones.
On the tombstone was an enormous “Noyes,” under which were the names Chris and Kelly. They were Bloodmint’s family.
Luke let go, and Bloodmint walked over to slowly sit down in front of the tombstone.
Pressing her head to it, uncontrollable sobs were wrenched from her throat.
“I miss you, I miss you so much…
“My task is over. Garcia is dead…
“Chris, Kelly, wait for me…
“God, just let me die. I miss them…”
She touched the two names on the tombstone with shaking hands as she cried.
Luke stood in silence.
Bloodmint’s original name was Riley Noyes.
Chris was her husband, and Kelly was her daughter who had just entered elementary school. Both of them were killed by the Garcia family five years ago. Their murderers were the gangsters who had been hung from the ferris wheel.
They had shot Bloodmint’s family right outside the playground that the ferris wheel was in.
Bloodmint had been hit in the head as well, but she was lucky that the bullet just brushed her, and she didn’t die on the spot like her husband and daughter.
While she was still in recovery, she identified the three murderers.
However, the lawyer, the D.A. and the judge were all in cahoots with the Garcia family, and the three murderers were found innocent and released.
Conversely, they found evidence of Bloodmint using drugs, and with the reason that she couldn’t have clearly seen the faces of the three men in a speeding car at night, her testimony was deemed insubstantial.
Infuriated, Bloodmint couldn’t maintain her rationality in court, and charged at the judge as she yelled and asked him why he was helping the murderers.
Then… she was tasered by the bailiffs and arrested.
The judge who had accepted Garcia’s bribe retaliated bluntly by claiming that Bloodmint had mental problems, and told the bailiffs to send her to an asylum.
Once she was admitted, chances were slim that she would be able to get out alive.
When Bloodmint was escorted to a police car, she found a chance to suddenly lash out and knock down the police officers before she escaped.
She disappeared from Los Angeles ever since.
Luke didn’t know the details of what happened to her after that, but she definitely joined the Fraternity.
Like Rebecca, Bloodmint had the talent to be a top-tier assassin in the Fraternity.
That was why she could see the three murderers’ faces in a speeding car at night.
That was why she wasn’t killed when she was shot in the head.
That was why she took meds for mental health; it wasn’t because she had mental issues.
With her killer talent, Bloodmint would subconsciously enter the Physical Outburst state even though she had never studied it.
The sensation from Physical Outburst was very strange, and could cause some minor fluctuations in the mental state; Bloodmint had always thought that they were hallucinations brought on by stress. Every time she felt like this, she would take medication.
Coincidentally, it was Rebecca who brought Bloodmint into the Fraternity.
Rebecca then betrayed the Fraternity to avenge her sister.
Since Rebecca had left, Bloodmint also decided to leave the Fraternity to avenge her family.
It was just that the Fraternity was in some trouble at the moment; Mr. X, the organization’s top assassin, had somehow gone missing in Rio.
That was why Bloodmint, who was only a rookie assassin in the Fraternity and hadn’t officially been given a title yet, wasn’t being hunted by the organization. Suddenly, the system sent out a notification.
System: You have received Riley Noyes’s appreciation. You may now learn all her abilities.
Luke took a look and saw that her abilities were the same as Rebecca’s except for the lack of Curve Shooting.
