The reason she didn't kill Misaki was because Keiri understood the rules of this line of work.
This is what is known as brotherhood or loyalty among江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world).
To go far on this path, integrity is the most important thing.
Misaki has a straightforward personality. Since she has decided not to kill Keiri anymore, she will not go back on her word. Keiri's trust makes her like her even more.
"Thank you for believing me. What are your plans?"
Before Jing Li could reveal her plan, gunshots rang out outside.
Startled, the two simultaneously fell silent and stared warily at the doorway.
What happened?!
Is the other side planning to make a move ahead of time?
They stopped speaking, exchanged a glance, and understood each other's meaning through their eyes.
Despite it being their first collaboration, the two displayed remarkable chemistry.
They won't move now, but the moment the other party rushes into the house, they will strike first.
What we need is to seize the initiative and gain the upper hand amidst the chaos.
After waiting for a long time, the guards at the gate still didn't move, and both of them were wondering what the other party wanted to do!
At this moment, the others, who had been awakened by the gunshot, also sat up, huddled together anxiously, each filled with fear, afraid that they would be the next to be shot.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded outside the door.
The two of them immediately tensed up, staring warily at the doorway, but their faces remained calm and composed.
'Snap—'
The door opened, and Jacques Behrman walked in with a smile, looking directly at Jing Li.
[Hello, Ms. Jingli, I am Jacques Behrman. I apologize for the neglect my subordinates have shown you...]
The other party actually knew her name?!
The three men frowned deeply, somewhat bewildered by the Red Dragon rebels' bizarre actions.
How did she, an unknown high school student, receive such polite treatment from the other party!
[This is all a misunderstanding. We have no intention of being enemies with EN. If you had said you were from EN earlier, I would definitely have treated you as an honored guest.]
Seeing that Jing Li remained silent, Jacques Behrman simply cut to the chase.
Jing Li was even more confused.
What the heck is EN?
Misaki's lips twitched. Was the other person sure they hadn't mistaken her for someone else?
She's the one who belongs to EN!
Even though she's an EN member, she's not important enough for EN to directly ask for her.
This is why she didn't contact EN in the critical moment.
EN would never risk fighting the Red Dragon Legion for her sake.
[I don't understand what you're saying!]
With a frown, Jing Li answered coldly.
The other person was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, his winking as if to say, "I know everything, so stop pretending. We're on the same side."
God the hell, you people who treat women as objects of venting are the same kind of people.
Jing Li frowned and asked directly, "[What do you want to do?]"
[It's like this, our leader would like to invite you to visit headquarters. We'll be departing shortly, and we hope you'll do us the honor of joining us.]
After hearing the other party's answer, Jing Li's face darkened even more.
What a load of rubbish! It's clearly a disguised form of house arrest. She might have a chance to escape from here.
If we actually get into their lair, then there's absolutely no hope left; only a fool would go.
But currently, she doesn't seem to have a choice?
[I don't know anyone named EN. You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just an ordinary Chinese entertainer.]
Jing Li tried to reason with the other party.
Jacques Behrman was getting impatient, but he continued to deal with her.
[You don't need to pretend anymore; your companion has already exposed your identity.]
ha?
She has companions?!
Who's the damned one who made her take the blame?!
Jing Li wanted to curse.
