Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 865: The Offerings

Anna picked up the dagger on the table and cut open the package. She removed the white foam, revealing a black gun with a silencer.

Li Long's face changed instantly upon seeing the firearm. "Boss, w-w-where did you get that? That thing is trouble; that's three years in prison if you get caught with it!"

Anna looked up at the skinny guy and asked, "Did you find the people I asked for?"

Li Long's face fell. "Eight people from out of town, and they have to be on the fringes of society. They're too difficult to find. What do you want to do with them, anyway? Why don't we just go and find some migrant workers?"

Anna stared deeply at Li Long and said, "We don't need eight people, then. Seven will do. You count as one."

Li Long's heart quivered at Anna's words. What was she talking about? How come a shiver went down his spine?

"We can find eight people. We can definitely find eight people. Boss, let me take you to someone; he will definitely be able to find a way," Li Long said.

"Let's go, then," Anna said, tucking the gun behind her.

"Boss, why don't we leave that thing here? We live in a society governed by laws, and even those in the underworld don't dare to use something like that," Li Long persuaded.

He really couldn't figure out Anna's train of thought at all. Her behavior and actions didn't seem like someone living in modern society. Based on her appearance alone, she ought to be in school, but her ruthlessness and way of doing things were unlike those of ordinary students.

In the face of Li Long's persuasion, Anna merely glared coldly at him.

Li Long dared not say anything more upon seeing that glare, and he turned around, obediently leading the way.

Upon reaching the first floor, Li Long headed to the garage and drove out the car that they had just purchased.

Anna sitting in the backseat of the car suddenly asked, "Did you get the passport that I asked you to acquire for me?"

"It's done. I know many people. It's not an issue as long as there's enough money," Li Long replied, sounding boastful. Then, he seemed to have noticed something amiss and cautiously asked, "Boss, are you planning on leaving the country after this?"

"You can stay here. I'm not going to force you. Trash like you are a dime a dozen abroad," Anna replied.

Li Long gnashed his teeth. Life and death were a matter of fate, and wealth and glory were up to the heavens up above.

In the end, Li Long decided to take a gamble.

At last, Anna turned to the blond man and asked, "You use it, too?"

"That got your attention? How refreshing. Anyway, this country is just a tad bit too sensitive when it comes to these things when certain drugs have even been legalized abroad. Anyway, let's start over; my name is Charles."

Anna's hand instantly balled into a fist, and she stared deeply at the man before her. To be honest, the man in front of her was handsome, but Anna wanted nothing more than to put the barrel of her gun to his forehead and blow his smug face to pieces!

"Your name is Charles?!"

"What? Wait, have we met each other in England? But I don't remember meeting you at all..." the blond man muttered.

Anna pulled down her mask, revealing a faint smile. "I do use that stuff. It's just that I like to use it with many other people."

The blond man revealed a look of understanding at Anna's remark. Anna was exactly his type, so he found it a pity that such a top-tier beauty had turned out to be both an addict and an escort.

"We have some ice at my place, and we're scheduled to gather tonight for some fun. Admission for women is free, so how about you come with us? The more the merrier," the blond man offered.

Having learned that Anna was both an addict and an escort, the blond man became much more straightforward, and he could no longer be bothered to hide his lust.

Anna nodded and asked, "I want my friend to come with us, too. Is that okay?"

The blond man glanced at Li Long with disdain, but he nodded reluctantly and said, "Sure, sure."

The blond man then put his fingers in his mouth and whistled toward the booth in the corner. Several men and women then walked out of the booth.

"Boss, I don't think this is a great idea. We shouldn't go," Li Long said. He seemed particularly anxious, but Anna didn't listen to him at all.

Soon, luxury cars drove out of the bar's parking lot, heading toward the suburbs.

Anna's fluttered in the wind as she sat in the back of a convertible.

"Hehe, your house is really far out," Anna said, briefly touching her waist.

"We're not going to my house. My family owns several buildings in the Beiping District. There aren't that many people there, and there aren't going to be any checkpoints, so it's pretty safe," the blond man replied. He steered with one hand and took out a lighter to light the cigarette at the corner of his mouth.

"Is that so? That's good, then. It's great as long as it's safe. You really are thoughtful."
