Chapter 67—Draco (2)
Draco studied the woman from head to toe, from the complete training gear she wore to the weapon hanging on her waist; he couldn't help but admire the charisma she emitted. The way she holds herself in front of him indicates her experience dealing with someone like him. If that is the case, it means that she is lethal and shouldn't be underestimated.
"If your purpose of coming is to scout for this place, then why are you spying on me while I'm training and naked? Are you cheating on your man?" His left eyebrow raised while he taunts her. He wanted to test the woman since Draco had never met her. For many years, only a few pieces of information were leaked out about her. Xu Long Wei never shared any of his relationships; the only thing he knows is that he grew up with the woman and that she is not an ordinary person.
"No offense, but I didn't stay to admire you, although I agree that you had a magnificent view out there. I was just wondering who is crazy enough to do this stupid training early in the morning when you can do it during midday. Why make yourself suffer?" She surveyed her with a look of mockery.
Offended by her comment, he made a long stride in her direction to show how angry he was. His current imposing posture would intimidate anyone in his way, but Jia is no ordinary person. She stayed in her place and calmly waited for his next move. "What did you say? Are you calling me stupid? For your information, I've learned this from someone you won't ever defeat." He annoyingly retorted back as he continued his advancement.
Jia remains rooted to her spot and ignores the guy's obvious intimidation technique. If things come to the worst, she is confident of defeating the massive man in martial arts. For now, to deal with this type of person is never to get bullied by his pretentious demeanor. Instead, she should be the one doing the taunting to expose the man's weakness.
Those who knew her personally in Country A are well aware of her reputation as the master devil behind the monarch's powerful army. But many people never really saw her in person and were only familiar with the numerous names people called her.
Actually, while taking over her father's organization, she was the commander-in-charge of the entire military force in country A.
Many officials have suspected that she got the position because of her family's background; however, the rumor is far from the truth. Like everyone else, she had worked her butt off to get the position at a young age. Compared to a regular soldier, she had her training earlier than others and managed to surpass even her father's skill.
Now that she is settling in Country X, she is glad to see that Xu Long Wei has successfully built his own power through the help of the government. Because of this, she will have more chances to train again without any problem. Also, it is a good thing that he is the only person that knows her in this country. She felt free to enjoy what she loves the most.
Draco moved swiftly and attempted to grasp the woman by the shoulder to forcefully pin her to the ground when Jia blocked his action, and they were both entangled in a fighting position. She didn't wait any longer and started attacking his lower abdomen. Startled by her accurate and powerful attack, Draco was caught off guard as he stumbled back. "This woman is tough; he needs to be serious from now on!"
He started moving and executed a deadly move on her, but once again, Jia easily countered his fist. They exchanged physical blows using their elbows and fists and rolled around on the ground for several minutes. However, both parties are unwilling to give up. After a while, Draco is feeling his body's limitation to fight, so he wanted to end their confrontation by aiming for a chokehold.
Unfortunately, Jia is not having it, so she flexes her body and catches his right arm instead and turns rapidly. She put all her weight in front and bent her upper body, which made Draco's entire frame fly up in the air. A colossal thud disturbs the peaceful area, followed by a cracking sound of bone. "Ahhhhh!" Birds and animals in the mountain fly and run away from the area as Draco painfully cries out.

At the bottom of the mountain, Jia's platoon gathered; however, they got more worried every minute as their leader still wasn't around to meet them. The place is so eerie that it gives them goosebumps, but what makes them want to run for safety is when a shattering voice coming out from the mountain top reaches their sensitive ears.
The hardened man unconsciously moves backward while others even run back to the car park close by.
"The gossip is true; this place is haunted!" Everyone thought. They can't.

Jia Garden
Inside the estate, Xu Long Wei left the window he was standing at with a subtle glint of mischief in his eyes. The people around him are clueless about his emotion as they are busy interrogating the man kneeling on the ground.
"Long Wei, please believe me. I don't know what you heard from others, but please believe me. I never betrayed our family." A man who is just a few years older than him begs for his life as he kowtows while his hand is rubbing rapidly in front of his chest.
Xu Long Wei ignored the man's plea and casually crossed his legs. "But Uncle, you know very well how I handle things, don't you? So how can you ask that?" He said coldly that gives a chill to a man's heart. Before he could even try to beg for more, Xu Long Wei stood up but was halted by the man's hand, who is now hugging his torso.
Disgusted by the visible mixture of saliva, drool, and tears in his pants, he kicks the man out of his way and states, "Clean this mess." He turns his back after giving his instructions and never looks back, even as he hears his uncle cry out for his name.
"Xu Long Wei, who do you think you are? Remember this: your life is numbered , and when that happens, even your son won't be able to SURVIVE!!" The man shouted the last word like a lunatic before his eyes rolled back after a single gunshot.
Xu Long Wei didn't bother to glance back to his uncle; instead, he walked directly to his study room. From today onwards, it seems that his peaceful life will come to an end. It's time to do what he's best at, which is killing rats around his backyard (traitors around him). What he couldn't forgive the most is betrayal, and family or not, he will kill anyone who plans to harm his beloved wife and son.
