Chapter 87
The living room lights were on, and Felix sat there with an incredibly cold expression on his face.
"“"Where did you go in the middle of the night?”" he asked.
Gianna frowned when she realized she had been found out, but she had no intention of explaining herself.
"“"Felix, this is my personal matter, I hope you won’'t ask me further.”"
There was anger in Felix's eyes. "As your husband, you can just leave in the middle of the night without telling me, and I can't even ask?"
Gianna remained silent for a moment before speaking. "You can ask, but I won't answer."
"Are you forcing me to investigate you?"
"Whatever you want."
Gianna returned to the bedroom and as soon as she closed the door, she heard the sound of things being thrown in the living room.
She pursed her lips, feeling that Felix's temper had worsened recently.
The next day happened to be a Friday, and after work, Gianna went straight to the bar.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, the Scorpion finally appeared.
He probably got the news and had his men call Gianna to the Private Room directly.
As soon as Gianna stepped into the Private Room, she saw the Scorpion sitting in the center, wearing a silver-gray mask that only revealed his nose, eyes, and mouth.
Upon seeing Gianna, he chuckled softly. "Iris, please sit."
After sitting across from him, Gianna spoke coldly, "Scorpion, the one who wants to kill you is me. Why bother coming to me? If you dare to plot against the people around me again, I won't let you off!"
The Scorpion chuckled softly, his voice hoarse. "Rest assured, I won't touch you. You've killed many of my trusted aides, and I want you to experience the feeling of watching your loved ones die in front of you!"
A murderous intent flashed in Gianna's eyes, and her hand instinctively reached for her waist. "Is there no room for negotiation?"
The Scorpion looked at her calmly, as if observing a fish struggling to survive.
"I advise you not to act recklessly. I have many people planted around Natalie's hospital room. If I die, she won't live through tonight either."
Gianna gritted her teeth and coldness filled her eyes. "What do I have to do for you to spare the people around me?"
"It's simple. You bring my brothers back to life."
"I killed them in the first place because of a mission. You should understand the rules of Full Moon Boulevard. Even if revenge is necessary, you shouldn't have come to me!"
The Scorpion sneered. "I don't care about the rules. Since you dared to take on this task, you should be prepared to face the consequences!"
Before he finished speaking, Gianna suddenly stood up and swiftly approached him, her dagger pressed against his neck.
"Order your men to leave Natalie's vicinity!"
The Scorpion raised an eyebrow. "Do you think you can kill me?"
Gianna smiled and said firmly, "Even if I can't kill you, I can still reveal your true identity. I'm sure many people are curious about what the Poison Scorpion really looks like. And since you've returned to the country, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out your real identity."
The Poison Scorpion narrowed his dangerous eyes and then smiled, saying, "I can give you a chance. As long as you can walk out of this Private Room alive today, I will remove the people around Natalie. How about that?"
Without hesitation, Gianna replied coldly, "Okay!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform."
There was a playful tone in his voice, which Gianna faintly found familiar. Before she could figure out where she had heard it before, the Poison Scorpion's subordinate rushed forward with a knife.
Gianna swiftly dodged and fought back against her opponent.
The Private Room had two levels, and the Poison Scorpion picked up his wine glass and went upstairs to watch with interest as Gianna fought against his subordinates.
The Poison Scorpion's subordinates were all mercenaries. Although Gianna was skilled, her strength gradually waned after killing five or six people, and she had been slashed several times herself. Realizing this, the remaining people intentionally dragged out the time.
Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. The people Gianna had killed earlier were their brothers, and they hated Gianna to the extreme. They showed no mercy in their attacks.
Gianna quickly killed two more people, but she also suffered a few more cuts. Her body was covered in wounds.
The remaining few people rushed forward, and after about ten minutes, they too, fell.
The Poison Scorpion clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Truly deserving of being an Iris."
Gianna wiped the blood off her face and looked coldly at the Poison Scorpion, saying, "I hope you will keep your word!"
"Of course, but this matter will not end like this. I will slowly torture you, make you suffer unbearably."
Gianna didn't say anything else and walked out of the Private Room.
Struggling to make her way out of the bar, her body had reached its limit, and she blacked out.
When she woke up again, she found herself in the hospital, and Gianna's eyes filled with surprise.
She slowly sat up, but every movement caused pain all over her body.
A gentle voice came from her ear, "You're awake? Don't move around. The doctor said you lost too much blood and need to rest well!"
Gianna raised her head and saw Thomas. Her pupils instinctively contracted.
"How did you end up here?"
Thomas smiled and replied, "I was drinking at the bar with friends. When I came out, I saw a group of people gathered on the road. When I walked closer, I realized it was you who had passed out, so I brought you to the hospital."
Seeing that he didn't inquire about why she was injured, Gianna thanked him, saying, "Thank you."
"Thank you, I have already informed Felix, and he should be on his way. I will leave first."
Thomas had left for just a short while when Felix arrived at the hospital room.
Sophia Mars pushed him in, and when he saw Gianna wrapped in bandages, his gaze turned extremely cold.
"Sophia Mars, please leave for now."
After the door to the hospital room closed, Felix wheeled himself to the bedside of Gianna's bed.
"What happened to your injuries?! Why did you go to LoseDemon?!"
