Chapter 9: The immortal clown!
Chapter 9: The immortal clown!
*Tweet~ Tweet~*
With the singing of the birds in the trees and the exceptionally clear skies, everything seemed like the perfect day to host a party.
Laughter came from time to time as the incoming guests with their children found their seats.
Security chasing a few troublemakers who were unwilling to be lonely
And a group of anxious reports ready to capture every minute of the event in detail.
Finding a seat, a beautiful smile unknowingly made its way to Lin Yue's face as she admired the sights before her
Especially the innocent joys of commoners as they laughed holding their children hand in hand.
"Sigh…, sometimes I wish I was born into a normal family rather than this Lin family"
Thinking of her current situation, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh wishing she had a normal life.
Unfortunately, wishes don't always come true.
With that, due to Lin Yue's temporary loss of thought, time unknowingly passed as she daydreamed of the life which could have been.
Sadly, before she could go too deep into it, a loud voice interrupted her thoughts
Wearing a typical black suit and red tie, a tall middle-aged man stood at the centre of the stage.
Standing with nearly combed black hair, a pair of white gloves, and black sunshades, the man in person seemed to have a mysterious feel about him.
Who is that?
This was the question on Lin Yue's and everyone's present minds, thankfully their thoughts were quickly answered
Making a sly smile at the crowd, the figure sucked in a lot of air before shouting at the top of his lungs.
"AHEM!" Loudly clearing his throat, the figure made sure he grabbed everyone's attention before speaking.
"Welcome everyone! I am the coordinator of today's activities Ma Hongjun!"
"We have gathered here to not only celebrate the city lord's daughter's birthday"
"But also come together as a community!"
"So since that's the case, why don't we give a round of applause as we welcome the city lord who made this happen"
Speaking with a high level of eloquence, the whole crowd seemed to be completely enthralled by Hongjuns words.
"Amazing! As expected of the city lord, even just a coordinator has such a presence"
Admiring Hongjuns manner of speech, Lin Yue sighed thinking of the number of gifts she could have received if she was live right now.
However, someone beside her seemed to think the opposite
"Oh? You like that Hongjun old fellow? Stay away from him, he's bad news"
"And by the way, you got some candy on you? I kinda skipped breakfast today"
Completely covered in a brown coat, a black top hat, and a crying face mask, Lin Yue was unable to see the face of who was speaking
However, just listening to his tone she could sense a hint of madness and craziness hidden in it.
Obviously, her neighbour wasn't an ordinary person as the sitting arrangement implied.
*Damn! Just my luck*
*Of all people, why do I have to sit next to a crazy person?*
*Could it be that I Lin Yue committed grace sins in my past life?*
Lamenting her luck, Lin Yue began to look around trying to change seats.
Unfortunately, after looking around it turns out all the surrounding seats were filled.
Not only that but while she was looking the weird masked man beside her said something shocking her to the core.
"Hello miss, you do know it's impolite to curse people in your mind?"
"Hehehe, if you continue this I ming just end up cutting you up"
Holding a knife that he seemed to have brought out of nowhere, the masked figure stroked it across Lin Yue's thigh.
*Damn! Can he read my mind!*
*And how can he get a knife in here, are the security blind?*
*Just what kind of monster have I encountered!?*
Scared out of her wits, Lin Yue's forehead began to be covered in beads of sweat
Fear quickly sprouted in her heart as her pupils dilated making her unable to move
And sensing Lin Yue's change, the masked figure began to give a low laugh sending a chill down her spine
"Hehe, what did I tell you about cursing?"
"No I'm no monster, and I definitely can't read your mind"
"Let's just say I'm good at reading people's facial expressions"
As if enjoying Lin Yue's sudden increase in fear, the masked figure slowly edged his face toward her own allowing Lin Yue to feel his breath
*You can't read my mind?*
*I believe you ghost!*
Twitching the corner of her mouth, Lin Yue suddenly felt like crying
Obviously, she just wanted to help fee family and escape an arranged marriage.
How did she end up having a knife being placed on her thigh by a masked psychopath?
Shaking her head, Lin Yue quickly began to think of a way out.
*Calm down Lin Yue, let's think*
*I have to figure out a way to get out of this current situation!*
Saying this in her mind, Lin Ye decided to stall for time, at least until she found a chance to escape from this psycho
"Well hello there Mr mask, I'm Lin Yue daughter of the city B Lin family"
"Apologies if I offended you earlier, hope we get along"
Forcing on a smile and stretching out her right hand, Lin Yue introduced herself
By doing this, she not only shows the prestige of her Lin family but also reduces the tension in the air
After all, no matter how badly the kin family had fallen, it wasn't something that anyone could trifle with
Much less some nameless masked mad.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue felt her plan would be successful
"...…."
Silence…..
Watching her hand still hanging in the air, Lin Yue couldn't help but worry that her neck was about to be cut off by the man before her
Thankfully that wasn't the case, contrary to what she expected the masked man took her hand slowly saying his own name.
"Hello then miss Lin, I also hope we get along"
"Oh and by the way my name's not Mr mask, it's clown"
"The Immortal clown!"
