Chapter 152: A Lot To Discuss
The woman in front of Chang Xuefeng seemed to freeze for a second when she heard his threat, but then she quickly recovered. "You can’t kill me," she announced, a smirk on her face. "Hattie said to tell you that she likes me. She even went so far as to say that it would save my life one day."
Chang Xuefeng let loose a string of curse words that couldn’t be translated into English. "Fine. I’ll tear everything else down around you, but I will make sure that you walk away from everything. I am sure that that will satisfy Hattie."
"We still can’t let you pass," shrugged the woman, and her face did look apologetic as she spoke. "Ms. LaRue has orders to kill you on sight; the best thing you can do is leave for now. Hattie should be able to leave on a mission in the next few months or so. You can find her then."
"Ms. LaRue currently has her own fucking genie. Do you really think she is just going to let Hattie disappear when she knows damn well Hattie would never come back?"
"It’s a rule," muttered the guard who had lowered his weapon earlier. "Everyone who has registered a power must join a team and hunt for supplies. There is no way out of it."
"And if someone makes a wish that they have all the supplies they could possibly need?" sneered Chang Xuefeng with a shake of his head. No, he knew how this situation would play out, and no one was going to let the goose that laid the golden egg go.
"I won’t let anything bad happen to Hattie. Give it a couple of weeks, and then try to re-enter the commune again. Ms. LaRue is no guard right now, but that won’t last forever."
"When I come back, I will be bringing a version of Death with me, the likes of which you have never seen. Do you understand that? If you see me again, everyone will die."
"That might be for the best," sighed the woman. "Because I have no idea what is right or wrong... and I don’t see that line becoming any more defined."
