Chapter 548 - Untitled
Mrs. Kurt told her that after she left that day, Meng Lianying sent Mo Ye to the doctor’s immediately, accompanied by Birmingham and the others. Because Mrs. Kurt was also hurt, Birmingham took them away together and went to the nearest private clinic.
Mrs. Kurt was only slightly injured, but Mo Ye’s heart had already stopped when they arrived at the clinic. Even the doctor could not do anything to help. Later, Mo Jue and Ye Wei arrived and took Mo Ye away that night. Mr. and Mrs. Kurt had no idea of what happened later.
Mr. Kurt asked the doctor about Mo Ye and he said that Mo Ye couldn’t be saved as his heart had stopped for a long time. Even God would not be able to save him.
Eleven was stunned while Mrs. Kurt’s eyes became red. The husband and wife had gotten along harmoniously with the two of them for a period of time, and it was sad for them to see them being against each other.
“Little Seven, can you ask around about how Anthony is now? So that we can be reassured?” Mrs. Kurt grabbed Eleven’s hand and cried. “That poor boy, how could you do that to him when he’s so nice to you?”
Eleven was at a loss as to what to say. What everyone saw was that she shot Mo Ye mercilessly, but it didn’t cross their mind that she did it to save him.
“Little Seven, say something.”
“Mrs. Kurt, I’m here to see you today. I’m relieved to see that you’re safe. I’m sorry to have shocked you this time. If we didn’t stay here then, you might still be living here peacefully. I’m really sorry,” Eleven said sincerely.
“Little Seven, we’re fine. What’s important is the matter with you and Anthony. I thought you didn’t know each other?”
“In fact, we have known each other for many years,” Eleven said softly. “It’s just that we had some hard feelings.”
“No matter how serious the problem was, killing him isn’t the solution. That child was so infatuated with you. Where else in the world can you find a man who is willing to die for you?” Mrs. Kurt said sadly. “Having resentment and hatred in your heart and not seeing the good in others would give yourself a hard time. Little Seven, you are a smart girl, but why don’t you understand?”
“I…” Eleven just could not refute the kindhearted old lady. A man who was willing to die for her? Mo Ye? It seemed like it. Her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
So many things had happened in this period of time, which made her really exhausted. She wanted to hide from people and stay in a quiet environment, but she couldn’t.
“Little Seven, were you the lost lover that Anthony had been mentioning?”
Eleven shook her head gently. “I don’t know. It’s just a story he made up.”
“How could it just be a story he had made up? I think what he said is true.”
The story of the lost lovers happened five years ago. It was a pity that things were different now. Could things be the same if he found her?
“When you were together, the way he looked at you was different. He had always said that he had a lost lover, but he looked at you with such concentration. I thought he had changed his mind so quickly, but I didn’t expect that it was you he was talking about,” said Mrs. Kurt, feeling heartbroken.
Eleven smiled bitterly. ‘Is it?’ Even outsiders could feel Mo Ye’s feelings for her, but she herself had always doubted and rejected him because of the hurt she had received in the past.
It was hard for her to hold onto him tightly.
“Mrs. Kurt, if he’s alive, we’ll visit you again,” Eleven said. She felt that she shouldn’t speak any further. The world of Mr. and Mrs. Kurt’s was far too different from the world she lived in.
She tried to live a peaceful life like them, but it almost killed them. She was scared. She was not afraid of death, but afraid that somebody else would be killed because of her.
“Really?” Mr. Kurt’s eyes brightened.
Eleven nodded and promised.
But she couldn’t guarantee if there would be such a day.
Mr. and Mrs. Kurt sent her out. At the door, Eleven could not help but ask, “Mr. Kurt, Mrs. Kurt, that woman was right. I am a killer who has killed countless people. Aren’t you… afraid of me?”
After what had happened, she thought that the two elderly would look at her with fear in their eyes, but that wasn’t the case.
They had endless tolerance and understanding for her. They were more concerned about the problem between them and were afraid that they would torture and hurt each other. It wasn’t a mentality she could have at her age.
She wasn’t able to be this tolerant. If she could, things between them would not turn out to be so hard like this.
Mrs. Kurt hugged her. “Silly child, you didn’t hurt us. You almost died to save us. We are too grateful. How can we be afraid of you?”
Eleven laughed.
Mr. Kurt said, “Little Seven was your disguise, and it seems like this is the real you. You look so much better laughing like this.”
Eleven smiled again, nodded, and refrained herself from crying.
“I’m off. Goodbye!”
“Little Seven, take care of yourself!” the two elderly said in unison. Eleven nodded, and her thin figure disappeared in the snow gradually.
Mrs. Kurt watched her leave and sighed softly. It was clear that both of them liked each other, but what had exactly happened for things to become like this?
When people reached their age, there was nothing unforgivable. She could tell that Anthony was very nice to her, and so was she.
She hoped they could get through the hard times.
Mrs. Kurt prayed in silence.
Sicily, Italy. The Mafia headquarters.
In just over ten days, Mo Jue ordered the Mafia to launch attacks on the terrorist organization, snatching their territories and businesses as if he had gone crazy. They were having a large-scale war, especially within their main sphere of influence.
The Mafia elites sallied forth in full strength as if blaming the death of Mo Ye on the other party. They were all prepared to avenge Mo Ye.
Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse obeyed Mo Jue’s orders and selected several strongholds of the terrorist organization in Colombia. They even combined forces with the Colombian underworld and government to suppress Jason’s forces with great determination.
Jason was troubled. Mo Jue was definitely inhumane when he was mad. He was a lunatic. Nobody would be willing to participate in this kind of war that would make both sides suffer losses. As the terrorist organization lost a stronghold, the Mafia lost one as well.
During this period, the Mafia and the terrorist organization gradually escalated from the initial battle to competing in secret. It seemed like the battle had stopped, and there were no direct firings happening, but everyone knew that the situation was bad.
Ye Wei was listening to Cloud’s report when Chu Li had already been directly involved in the fight between the two sides in Colombia. The terrorist organization usually had an order of who would be in charge.
If there was no need for technical skills, Jason would be in charge of attacking. If the opponent was one that was hard to fight, but there were no physical fights involved, Black J would be on the front line. However, if it involved both the need for technical skills and aggressive attacks, Chu Li would take charge.
This time, if Chu Li had to take matters into his own hands, it meant that the Mafia had gone all out.
Mo Jue hadn’t rested well for several days. In terms of his intellect, he was far better than Ye Wei. But, in terms of the familiarity with the terrorist organization, he was far worse than Ye Wei. He didn’t mean to let Ye Wei participate in the war, but…
He hadn’t got to sleep for a long time. Ye Wei felt sorry for him and knocked him out when he was sending his orders to Cloud. She asked Thunder and Lightning for help to carry him down for a rest and asked the doctor to give him sleeping pills so that he could sleep for another day.
Then, she came to take over his unfinished work.
When the Mafia and the terrorist organization were at war, the only weakness they had was the lack of arms. No matter who the latter was fighting with, they had an advantage in this aspect. No one was stronger than them, so Ye Wei asked Cloud and Wind to contact the arms dealers in the United States to provide them with more arms and deliver a batch of powerful weapons to them.
Although the arms market was dominated by the terrorist organization, the Mafia also had business partners who specialized in providing arms. Ye Wei’s means were no weaker than Mo Jue’s.
She and Eleven just didn’t like to be tied down, so they didn’t care about the internal affairs of the organization, not because they lacked ability.
“Miss Ye, what should I do if Mr. Bai doesn’t agree?” Cloud asked anxiously while giving her another piece of data. “Look, this is the latest financial statement. We do not have a lot of cash flow. Mr. Bai has a quirk. He needs cash for every transaction. For such a large amount of transaction, the main person in charge must be present, either you or the second master.”
Ye Wei pondered. After all, Cloud knew her identity, and Mo Jue reminded them to be careful not to let Ye Wei get too involved in this matter. However, Ye Wei was bold to knock down Mo Jue and took control. They didn’t know who to turn to for advice, so they could only tell her the truth. “Miss Ye, Chu Li knows that we have a good relationship with Mr. Bai, and he is also sending someone to contact them. Bai is greedy for money. I’m afraid we can’t meet their conditions.”
“Well, send someone to intercept Chu Li’s people and stop them from getting in touch with them first,” Ye Wei said calmly. She smiled. “How many troops do we have in the U.S.?”
“What do you want to do?”
“You don’t have to worry about his betrayal or a lack of funds if you seize those weapons.”
“Ah…”
“Any questions?”
Cloud touched her head. “This is despicable.”
“It’s strange that you’re calling this despicable after all this time you’ve been working under the second master. What has he done that is not despicable to you?” Ye Wei asked gently and innocently. She was really curious.
Cloud was stunned by the question.
‘Miss Ye Wei is really good.’
