Chapter 142 The Cicada Awaits



"What do you want?!" Juliet glared at him angrily.

“The right to inherit is very important to me, and I will never give it to you.” Zhu Xiao slowly raised his head, his eyes looking at Zhu Liling as if bidding farewell: “So, I want you dead.”

The man in black beside him nodded slightly and walked step by step toward the iron cage, spear in hand.

At the same time, the mechanism was activated again, and the cage quickly narrowed its range.

"Wait." A delicate hand stopped him.

The man in black paused, turning his head to look at Gao Lin who had walked up beside him.

"Give me the spear." Gao Lin didn't even look at him directly, her tone as that of a high and mighty queen.

The man in black waited for a while, and seeing that Zhu Xiao did not stop him, he obediently handed over the weapon to her.

Gao Lin frowned the moment she took the spear, then dropped it on the ground.

"It's too heavy, get another one."

Upon hearing this, the man in black could only give her a light sword.

However, the cage is at least two meters long, wide, and high, which is impossible to penetrate with the length of a sword.

Juliet stared at her for a while, then couldn't help but find it amusing.

She might not be a match for Gao Lin in other matters, but when it comes to physical strength, even if Juliet is locked in a cage, as long as Gao Lin dares to put her hand in, she can smash Juliet's arm to pieces with a single fan.

Gao Lin, sword in hand, hovered outside the cage. Seemingly realizing this as well, she suddenly became enraged and roared at the man in black, "You know how to raise Gu gu, don't you? Where's the demonic Gu? Put it in!"

Before the man in black could respond, Xiao He, who was in the cage, immediately turned his gaze to him.

The latter's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

"Linlin," Zhu Xiao finally couldn't help but speak up, "She's my own sister. I just want her dead, not to die a horrible death."

Gao Lin turned around, her complicated expression still carrying a hint of grievance: "Then I want her to watch her best friend die a horrible death first!"

"A good friend?" Zhu Xiao turned his gaze to Xiao He.

He was stunned when he saw it.

The room was very dark. I had been focused on my sister and hadn't noticed the girl who had been brought along by chance.

Sensing his gaze, Xiao He raised an eyebrow and winked at him with a half-smile.

In that instant, Zhu Xiao felt as if something had suddenly plucked a string in his heart.

Gao Lin felt a surge of anger when she saw his expression.

"I don't care, I want you to hand her over to me!"

Gao Lin didn't dare to fight with Juliet, but she vaguely remembered that Xiao He was a pastor.

As everyone knows, a priest's "combat ability" is no different from that of an ordinary person.

The man in black seemed to have some reservations and dared not release Xiao He from the cage, while Zhu Xiao did not express his opinion for the time being.

Gao Lin's face flushed red and then turned pale; she was finally blinded by anger.

"Fine! I'll drag her out myself!"

Before she could finish speaking, Gao Lin had already reached for the switch on the cage.

"Whoosh—"

A flash of black light appeared.

"ah!!"

With her scream, an arm gushing blood fell to the ground.

Zhu Xiao immediately stood up nervously, looking incredulously at Gao Lin lying in front of him.

"Who?! Who's there?!"

Zhu Xiao panicked, and a large number of bodyguards quickly surrounded him.

Xiao He had deliberately provoked them to release him, but he never expected that besides the "mantis," there was also a "wild oriole" that had been hiding for a long time.

So he remained silent and turned his gaze to the shadow that emerged from the darkness.

She was a woman with an exceptionally good figure; even dressed in tight black clothes, her stunning curves were still undeniable.

"That's enough for now. Thank you all for helping me catch this person."

The cold voice still echoed in his ears as Zhu Xiao slowly lowered his head...

The poisoned arrow lodged in his heart was the last thing he saw in his life.

Looking at the bodies falling one after another, Juliet felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

In the dim light, ten men in black knelt down at the same time and bowed respectfully to the woman.

"Miss Anna!"

"Hmm, well done this time."

After observing for so long, Xiao He narrowed his eyes, still unable to determine their identities in a short time.

"Xiao He, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Wan Anna."

The woman walked towards him with somewhat heavy steps: "I'm so lucky, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"Smoothly?" Xiao He's tone was full of doubt.

The woman in front of him was very strange. At first glance, she seemed to be there to save people, but her gloomy aura was more than ten times that of Zhu Xiao.

To say she harbored murderous intent towards him was an understatement; it was barely perceptible. Although she utterly loathed him, she considered him…one of her own?

Xiao He truly did not understand.

Who exactly are you?

"Don't worry, we'll be family from now on."

Without explaining, Wan Anna began to form hand seals and mutter incantations.

"Buzz..."

Xiao He felt his body stiffen, gradually being imprisoned by an indescribable force.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mysterious pair of handcuffs with the "Nokin" brand on them.

"It's you?! The one left behind by the patrol team?" Xiao He immediately understood, but a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

When Wan Anna saw that he guessed it so quickly, she remained calm and did not deny it.

Only after the incantation was finished and the handcuffs were formed did the group of men in black open the iron cage and arrest Xiao He and Juliet respectively.

"Miss Anna, what should we do with this person?" someone asked, holding Juliet in his arms.

“Kill him.”

"yes."

Before Juliet could react, the man in black with the spear swiftly and decisively stabbed her.
