But in the end, they did not fight, and the woman had come back.
Seeing the two men at loggerheads in the doorway, the woman smiled and said, “What are you doing? Men like to fight. Can’t you calm down a bit? Come here. Take a sit, and I’ll tell you all about it.”
Robin then went back to his seat.
As he sat down, he asked, “Where is the person I am looking for?”
The woman sat with her legs crossed. Robin looked at her with confusion. He knew that she deliberately didn’t pay attention to him.
Robin, however, was not a young man and couldn’t be tempted by her. He just looked at her with sharp eyes.
The woman still wore a smile on her face and said lightly, “Well, she has not arrived. She won’t come until late afternoon.”
Robin didn’t want to waste time with her. “Where is she now?” he asked coldly.
“I have told you. Before she arrives, we won’t take care of it. Wait a minute and she will be here soon.”
Robin grabbed the woman by the throat. To Robin’s surprise, she didn’t resist at all and he could easily control her.
“Sir, even you threaten me, I can’t get her here immediately.”
The woman would die instantly as long as Robin hardened his strength, but she didn’t seem to fear and even spoke in a flat way.
Robin felt confused but not bothered. “Do you believe I’ll kill you right now?”
The woman’s face distorted because she was out of breath, but she still managed to say, “Of course, but why do you want to do so? We have tried our best to do according to your requirements.”
What made Robin confused was that not only the woman, but also Sheppard was calm. They seemed not to be afraid that Robin would really kill her.
Robin said, “I wonder where she is? If you don’t find her, I’ll kill you.”
“You’re giving me a hard time. You might just kill me.”
Robin paused at the woman’s resignation, but then increased the force in his hands, making the woman even more painful. She was unable to breathe now.
But she didn’t even let out a single moan of pain, and seemed to have accepted death with open arms.
Robin let go of her before she would die the next second.
Breaking free from Robin’s restrains, the woman coughed violently and panted heavily. It took her a long time to recover.
Robin looked at her coldly.
When she had calmed down, she said to Robin, “You are too violent. If you hadn’t let go, I might have died. Do you bear to see me die?”
Robin looked at her without a trace of irritation, strange but without a trace of pity. “You’d better be true,” he said coldly. “I’ve got to see her before evening.”
Since she wasn’t afraid of death, there were only two possibilities to do so, either her life was worthless or she had no way out. Robin chose to believe the former.
Before Robin finished speaking, the woman smiled at him. “You can rest assured that since we have promised you, we will do it. If anything should happen, just kill me!”
The woman was smiling. Robin couldn’t see through her. Her mind was like a deep abyss.
He had to wait in the lobby and the woman wanted to show him around, but Robin refused, as he was not interested.
But the woman did not let him go. Sitting close to him, she asked, “May I know your name? I’m Florrie and this is the executive of Ninth Pavillion.”
Robin closed his eyes, not wanting to look at her or speak to her.
But suddenly a finger ran across his arm and gently tickled him. Robin felt a little ticklish, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
The woman went further to touch his chest. Robin couldn’t stand it and patted her hand away, “Don’t touch me. I’ll tell you.”
The woman smiled brightly, “I thought you are a boring man.”
Robin glared at her and replied, “I’m just a dawdler and nobody. My name is Zhouille.”
Hearing the name, the woman looked at Robin suspiciously and said, “You’re not lying to me, are you? Zhouille? But I’ve never heard of such a powerful person with this name.”
Robin said, “Of course you don’t know. I’m very low-keyed.”
Florrie didn’t pursue it further, but she asked again, “But you martial arts seem to belong to some formal sect. Where did you learn it?”
Robin didn’t answer but asked, “But I think your martial arts are vicious, and what you do is lawless. I don’t think you are good people.”
“I have never said I’m a good person. You misunderstood it.”
Robin ignored her seductive tricks and simply said, “If you’re not a good person, what kind of bad things you are doing?”
“You know it. To catch some people and get money from them. We haven’t formed a large organization. We wouldn’t dare to cheat others in broad daylight.”
Robin sneered. He didn’t expect she would be so dehumanized.
“So, you are going to enlarge your team?” Robin asked.
Florrie smiled, “I have thought about it, but I don’t know if I can realize it. If we encounter someone as strong as you are, I’m afraid we have to hide.”
“You pick some beautiful women and brainwash them so they don’t call the police. You do this just to play with them?”
But Florrie did’t want to say more, and just smiled, “Sir, I can’t tell you more. If you want to know more about it, you can join us.”
“So, you’re trying to get people joined you?”
“Of course. Everyone will admire when they see your excellent martial arts.”
Her smile was so enchanting. And as she spoke, Robin seemed to almost be seduced.
