Chapter 783: Soft Spot
"Isn’t the most important thing that I can help you get through this difficult time?" Nancy didn’t want to continue entangling with Xu Ke here, so she spoke up.
"But who told you this matter is a difficulty for me? This matter is really not challenging for me, just like signing in when logging into a game, dull and tedious." The smile on Xu Ke’s lips grew even wider, and he even laughed out loud.
Nancy’s face became particularly ugly due to Xu Ke’s laughter.
"You’re playing me!" Nancy gritted her teeth and said viciously.
"I told you the way you pretend to be weak is too fake, this is more fitting for you, see, now you look much better. And how can you say I’m playing you? We were originally in a ’mind-your-own-business’ relationship. You insisted on provoking me. I’m just going with the flow, how can it be said I’m playing you? Isn’t it just that you’re not as skilled and lost?" Xu Ke asked seriously.
"I guess you still have a backup plan, let me think, what are you planning to do? If I’m not wrong, your plan should be to persuade me to surrender first. If I surrender, we all win. If not, you plan to ruin me, even want me dead. But as a weak woman, you can’t do it alone, so you need external help."
Xu Ke’s words made Nancy’s body gradually tense up from its initial relaxation.
"What kind of external help can give me a fatal blow and even harm Claude? It should be your father, Mr. Bart. And what could make him decide to take action against his most excellent son? Of course, it’s when his other child is harmed and the evidence is irrefutable. And Miss Nancy, you’ve always had a loyal maid beside you, but now she’s not with you. Where did she go?"
Xu Ke stood up from his seat and slowly walked behind Nancy, placing his arms on either side of her, seemingly embracing her from behind.
But Nancy felt like she was just a prey lying beneath the feet of a beast, with Xu Ke’s breath spraying onto her neck, causing her skin to rise in goosebumps. Nancy even had the illusion that she would soon be bitten to death by Xu Ke.
"She’s ambushed around, you made yourself the bait, her the fishing rod, and I’m your target. I think she’s probably not far from us now, waiting for your signal. As long as you give a command, she will break into this room with a camera, capturing my evil deeds toward you, and this will become the crucial evidence that could condemn me, also serve as the key evidence of Claude condoning the harassment of Bart’s children by his subordinates."
Xu Ke’s eyes fell on Nancy’s neck, "Then what happens? Those who have always wanted to bring down Claude will immediately target him. No matter how much Mr. Bart likes Claude, he will not allow his son to so recklessly harass his children. He will kill me, the culprit, and fiercely punish Claude. Even if he can’t immediately topple Claude, it will heavily hurt him, and you could enjoy Mr. Bart’s compensation under the guise of a victim, becoming the one who reaps the benefits without any effort. Am I correct?"
Nancy’s body began to feel cold, she thought she must be crazy to provoke Xu Ke, this man was simply too terrifying, he guessed all of her plans, even down to the smallest detail.
"Since you already guessed my intentions, then why did you still come?" Nancy swallowed a gulp of saliva, but her throat had grown so dry at some point that after all the swallowing, nothing went down.
"It’s because I’m too bored. Fighting, killing, and disposing of bodies every day is really too boring. I’m not a construction worker, why do I have to do physical labor every day?" Xu Ke sighed somewhat melancholically.
"Since you’ve guessed I have a backup plan, aren’t you scared? With just one command from me, they will rush in, and you don’t want to cause trouble, do you?" Nancy forced herself to appear calm.
She was particularly fearful of death, and at this moment, she was too nervous to make any moves.
"I thought you were smart, haven’t you considered that all the people your maid brought have already been dealt with by me?" Xu Ke said with a slight chill in his voice.
"What!" Nancy was shocked by this news and quickly turned her head. If Xu Ke hadn’t dodged quickly, they would have almost kissed.
"What did you do to her?" Nancy asked nervously.
"Regarding someone who wanted to kill me, what do you think I would do to her? Shouldn’t you be the clearest about this outcome?"
Thinking of those who attempted to kill him but never walked out of his room, the blood drained from Nancy’s lips in an instant, and her face became almost transparently pale.
"How could you kill her? She didn’t even have time to do anything, right? How could you do such a thing? How could you!" Nancy’s eyes reddened, and her gaze at Xu Ke was filled with intense hatred, like a fierce beast wanting to hunt its prey.
Xu Ke found Nancy’s reaction intriguing, "Why can’t I? Do I have to be wounded by her before I can fight back? Why should I injure myself first to solve something I can handle before getting hurt?" Xu Ke retorted.
Nancy was left speechless by Xu Ke’s retort, but she had no intention to argue with him now. Her mind was filled with one thought, she had to kill Xu Ke to avenge her maid, Xu Ke must die, at any cost!
"Don’t look at me like that, do you think I’m afraid? Don’t think too much, I won’t be scared." Xu Ke chuckled softly.
"Don’t be too smug. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be a time when you slack off. If you don’t kill me today, the one who dies next time will definitely be you." Nancy glared at Xu Ke’s face, speaking in a vicious tone.
Never before had she wished so strongly for someone to die.
"Hahahaha, I look forward to it. I just didn’t expect your weak point to be your maid, such an interesting discovery. Because of this amusing discovery, I’ve decided to forgive your earlier rude behavior and let you go," Xu Ke said.
"You’ll regret this, I will make sure you regret it."
Xu Ke could feel that Nancy spoke these words almost through gritted teeth, filled with a hatred as thick as blood.
"Probably." Xu Ke’s tone was unconcerned.
But it was this unconcerned tone that made it all the more unbearable, making one want to tear the entire person in front of them to shreds, to let him know what the harsh realities of society and the struggles of living are.
But the next moment, Xu Ke’s smile disappeared, "But I don’t like you looking at me like that. If you keep looking at me that way, I’ll gouge out your eyes, marinate them in wine, and make you drink it down, then kill you. If you don’t believe me, just try." Xu Ke threatened.
"But who told you this matter is a difficulty for me? This matter is really not challenging for me, just like signing in when logging into a game, dull and tedious." The smile on Xu Ke’s lips grew even wider, and he even laughed out loud.
