Chapter 338 Black Tea

"It's hard to say." The raccoon man glanced at the night-like sky outside the window, turned to look at the parrot girl, and asked, "Why do you want to stay by the young lady's side? Are you planning something?"

"Heh." The parrot girl sneered, "I should be the one asking you this question." She leaned forward slightly and whispered in the raccoon man's ear, "Who are you?"

The cold white light of lightning fell on the two masks that were looking at each other, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The sudden collision sound attracted the attention of the two men, and they turned their heads to look over, only to see a figure running away in panic. The parrot and the raccoon didn't think twice and chased after it.

The rumbling thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, like an angry roar, or like heavy footsteps trampling on the heart again and again.

In the first class cabin belonging to Maffia Karen.

Mafia Karen, who was originally angry, chuckled: "Sure enough, it's just as I expected..."

The roaring thunder swallowed up the second half of the sentence. Under the cover of the thunder, Mingyue moved near the floor-to-ceiling window, frowned slightly, and glanced at the strong wind, heavy rain and huge waves outside the window.

"It seems that you are indeed qualified to be my partner." Mafia Karen reached out and groped around, as if looking for something, and his toes touched the blind stick leaning to the side.

Mingyue saw that the blind stick lost its balance and was about to fall to the ground, but was firmly caught by Mafia Karen. Seeing this, Mingyue did not say a word, but narrowed her eyes slightly, and had a further judgment of the skills of this underworld princess. She looked around the spacious bedroom and thought about how to escape.

Mafia Karen, who had received the blind stick, casually felt his way around, and as if he knew something, he slowly walked towards the window where the bright moon was.

Mingyue held her breath and slowly moved in time with the thunder outside the window, trying to increase the distance between herself and Mafia Karen. However, the room was only so big, and if she tried to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, she might even lure the person guarding the door in. If it was two against one, it would be even worse.

Mafia Karen's cane hit the sofa by the window, and she sat down gracefully. This unexpected move made Mingyue feel puzzled.

“I thought you were a coward who could rely on the strong, and was so weak that you couldn’t even protect yourself. But now it seems that’s not the case.” Mafia Karen reached out and touched the empty coffee table, an unhappy look appearing on his scarred face.

“Oh, you’re not going to say anything?” Mafia Karen pointed at his chest with a slight smile on his face. “You kicked me with great force, but if your vision hadn’t been cut off suddenly, you wouldn’t have been able to break free.”

Mingyue still didn't speak. She stood on Mafia Karen's soft big bed, waiting for the opportunity to escape.

Mafia Karen opened his eyes wide, but there was only endless emptiness and darkness in front of him, as if he was in a black hole. Although he could hear the roaring thunder and the surging waves in his ears, he felt that everything was far away from him and everything was so unreal and illusory.

"I know you are still in this room. After all, you can't escape, my partner."

Rumbling--

In an instant, the voices, footsteps, noisy raindrops, whistling wind and the dull sound of bullets hitting the side of the ship seemed to be muted, leaving only the sound of thunder that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

After the thunder, everything returned to normal. Time passed by minute by minute. When Mafia Karen began to wonder whether the rabbit had slipped away, the girl's clear voice suddenly rang out.

"You did this just to test me?"

"No, everything I do is for the benefit of the Cullen family." Mafia Cullen paused for a few seconds and added, "Besides, I hate the feeling of being monitored."

The girl's soft laughter reached Mafia Karen's ears, and Mafia Karen's ears moved slightly, and she determined that the gray rabbit was sitting on her bed and looking at her.

"Hate being watched? I know that you grew up under the surveillance of your mother. She prepared the guns and bullets you used to kill people. I guess most of the fratricide was caused by her." Mingyue looked at Mafia Karen's profile. "She even died under your gun in order to train you. Your 100% accurate shooting skills were taught by her."

Mafia Karen's fingers were slightly white as she held the cane, but her face, covered with scars, was as calm as a pool of dead water, without any expression. She just said in a flat tone: "You know so much."

"After all, you are someone who wants to be my partner. It won't be wrong to get to know each other better." Mingyue carefully observed every expression of Mafia Karen. "You were eager and wanted to pursue fairness. It must have been very painful for you at that time."

As the thunder fell, Mafia Karen could clearly hear the raindrops hitting the glass, and the dense sound and the whistling wind were like bullets being fired continuously.

Long-forgotten memories flashed through my mind.

That happened so many years ago that Mafia Karen felt she could no longer remember it, but she clearly remembered that the day before it happened, she had just held a coming-of-age ceremony for her well-behaved sister.

However, when he saw his sister again, she was holding a gun in her hand, and in a pool of blood not far away, his brother was looking at the hole in his chest with an expression of disbelief, with bright red blood constantly gushing out.

"Didn't you say she was always well-behaved? Look, she killed someone, and it was her own brother. Maybe in a few years, she will kill you too."

Her mother's voice echoed in Mafia Karen's mind.

He looked at his sister kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, then at his brother lying in a pool of blood, heard his mother's instigation in his ears, and felt the resistance when pulling the trigger with his fingers.

Rumbling--

The thunder continued, as if the whole world was shaking.

Mafia Karen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She failed to kill her sister that time, but suffered the harshest criticism from her mother in history. Afterwards, in order to temper her and make her ruthless, her mother designed a series of things just to let her die under her gun.

boom--

She would never forget the sound of that gunshot.

The almost insane smile on her mother's face after she was shot was her nightmare.

After that, she was given the title of being decisive in killing people, and she also won the recognition of her father, but her grandmother always looked at her with a sad and vicissitudes of life.

Rumbling--

Thunder seemed to explode right overhead, the sea was stirred up by huge waves, and the raindrops hitting the glass sounded like a continuous stream of gunfire.

Mingyue stared at the silent Mafia Karen for a long time, walked to the door quietly, put her ear against the door, trying to hear the movement outside.

At this time, Mafia Karen suddenly spoke up: "You are not just that honest businessman, right? I heard that you are codenamed after the wine. What kind of wine are you?"

Mingyue said nothing. She stared at Mafia Karen and listened to the sounds outside the door.

"Conti, Petrus, Lafite, or Rum?"

Mingyue listened to Mafia Karen spit out the names of the wines one by one, and rolled her eyes. "Have you thought about the conditions I set before?"

"You want to make the Cullen family take second place, monitor my every move, and even control all the information about the Cullen family through me?" Mafia Cullen turned his face towards the empty bed, his expression becoming very serious. "I don't agree with the latter. I would rather stay in the dark forever than allow anyone to hurt them through me."

Mingyue, who was standing at the door, was slightly stunned. She realized that Mafia Karen had something else in his words. "You are talking about that. After all, it is only temporary. You should pay some compensation."

"Then am I giving you too much? You have gained a lot of information from me."

"You came here simply because you have set your sights on the arms line of the Kirima family. You want to obtain weapons and materials for your next fight with your uncle."

Maffia Karen did not answer but asked, "Aren't you?"

Mingyue sneered and answered without hesitation: "Of course not."

Maffia Karen was startled, as she now heard the sound coming from the door, not from the direction of her bed.

A rumbling thunder suddenly sounded, like the roar of a sleeping beast, rolling in from the distant sky.

On the corridor on the sixth floor of the cruise ship, the Parrot Girl and the Raccoon Man looked at each other.

"Perhaps your guess is correct. Someone is indeed eavesdropping on our conversation." The raccoon man looked around and saw no one. Affected by the lightning just now, he could not determine where the person was hiding.

The parrot girl punched the wall with her fist and said, "If it wasn't so shaky, we would have caught up with you long ago."

"It's like walking on flat ground..."

"You mean the people from the Kirima family?"

The raccoon man grabbed the handrail beside him, steadied himself, and looked at the parrot girl. "Anyone with seagoing experience, a sailor, or someone who has worked on a ship for a long time should be able to do it."

The parrot girl slammed the wall again. "If I had known earlier, I would have arranged for a few sailors to stay here."

The cruise ship shook violently again.

Amid the dull sound of waves hitting the side of the boat, a special sound caught the attention of Parrot Girl and Raccoon Man.

The two looked at each other, the parrot girl made a gesture to outflank, the raccoon man nodded, and the two acted separately.

Rumbling--

After a loud bang, the cruise ship shook violently. The muffled sound of huge waves hitting the side of the ship intertwined with the thunder, making the eardrums hurt.

The thunder rolled and rolled among the lead-gray clouds, like the sharp claws of a giant beast tearing at the sky.

As time passed, the thunder gradually faded away.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

The Elk housekeeper knocked on the door and said, "My lady, the tea you requested is ready."

Then, the tightly closed door was opened, and the elk housekeeper saw the gray rabbit standing at the door.

"Just give it to me." Mingyue reached out to take it.

However, the Elk Housekeeper did not hand the tray to Gray Rabbit. Instead, she looked up at Mafia Karen who was sitting on the sofa, as if waiting for instructions. She found that the originally smooth clothes on the young lady's chest were wrinkled, and the traces looked like footprints. When the Elk Housekeeper looked at Gray Rabbit again, there was a sharpness in her eyes.

"Give it to her and close the door." Mafia Karen said calmly.

"The tray is a bit heavy, I'm afraid..."

"Don't you obey my orders?" Mafia Karen's voice was icy cold.

At this point, no matter how reluctant she was, the elk housekeeper could only say "yes", handed the tray to the smiling gray rabbit in front of her, and slowly closed the door.

Mingyue put the tray on the coffee table, poured a cup of black tea and placed it in front of Maffia Karen, then poured herself a cup, took a sip of the tea, and commented: "You are a good housekeeper at making tea."

"She learned this from my mother." Mafia Karen picked up the black teacup in front of her. The bright red and clear tea soup rippled in the white porcelain cup, and puffs of white smoke rose from the cup.

"The regenerated eyes are actually the same as your original eyes. I can't do anything like surveillance." Mingyue looked at Mafia Karen, curled the corners of her lips slightly, and muttered in her heart: At most, I can take your life at the critical moment.

"Really?" Mafia Karen took a sip of tea, the fresh and elegant aroma and the mellow and sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth.

Mingyue pinched a piece of cookie and put it in her mouth. After chewing it carefully, she looked at Mafia Karen and said with a smile, "Relatively speaking, I can find a lot of partners, but if you lose your eyes, can you really hold on to your current position?"

Mafia Karen turned his head and "looked" at Gray Rabbit. The repaired prosthetic eye was no different from the previous one.

"Come to think of it, your uncle is not a restless person. He played an indispensable role in the injury of the current godfather." After Mingyue said this, she threw another cookie into her mouth.

"How much do you know?" Mafia Karen's fingers turned white as she pinched the porcelain cup.

"What if I tell you everything?" Mingyue reached out to take the cookie. "Before this, I stayed in Europe for a while."

"You don't look Japanese."

"Well, I should be more like my mother."

Hearing this, Mafia Karen's face darkened, as if he had thought of something.

Mingyue only glanced at her and guessed what she was thinking. She sighed and continued, "My situation is different from yours. After giving birth to me, my irresponsible mother committed suicide for love. To be honest, I envy you."

"What is there to envy?" Mafia Karen's voice was cold as she looked at the bright red tea rippling in the cup.

"Yes, it does feel bad to be forced to kill someone, but if you don't kill them, they will kill you." Mingyue took a sip of black tea and added, "We are the same kind of people."

After the rumbling thunder, the cruise ship's broadcast suddenly sounded: "The third round of the [Infection] game is about to end. All participants, please return to room 3."

Mafia Karen, who had regained his sight, turned his head to look at the rolling black clouds and huge waves outside the window, his lips tightly pursed, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Mingyue looked at Mafia Karen, "We have discussed the general cooperation, and it is time for you to withdraw from this game with your people."

Mafia Karen chuckled and drank the cold tea in the cup. "Are you ready to get rid of me so soon? I still want to fight you at the finish line. Besides, the zombies may not be eliminated. I advise you to join the zombie team as soon as possible."

"I don't want to become a zombie." Mingyue picked up the teapot and prepared to pour another cup for Mafia Karen, but the teapot was empty. She smiled helplessly, "Come to think of it, how could you bring a male member on board when you hate men the most?"

"I didn't arrange for him."

"Oh, that's very interesting." Mingyue's mouth curled up slightly...
