Lazily Yours.

Chapter 60: Equivalent Exchange

Shen Qui didn't miss the anger that quickly flashed in her eyes. "And if I say no?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Then.. I would have to convince you?" That sly smile again. He hated how she was so confident, always underestimating him. Underestimating someone was something forbidden in his line of work.

"How?" He forced the word out of his mouth.

"Let's see" Lyca acknowledged the sudden desire stabbing in her stomach. "Maybe I would kiss you, again." She didn't hide the lust in her eyes.

"That wouldn't be enough."

"Greedy." She mused, her hand touched his jaw. The small action made him freeze, goosebumps spread all over his body. Using her thumb, Lyca traced his jaw until she touched his lips. "But reasonable."

For a few seconds, she saw anticipation flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Lyca laughed, her eyes turned crescents as she took a step back. "We have more important things to discuss, lover boy."

His eyes glinted as he followed her. Playing with fire was a very dangerous thing. Yet, Lyca seemed unaware of this?

"This is our target. A loan shark from Xie City. You twisted my arm so I can't shoot anymore. Meaning you will do it for me." She shrugged as she gave another nonsense reason for him to finish the job for her. "I will act as the spotter. Read it."

Surprised at the sudden change in her tone, Shen Qui decided to remove her inviting appearance earlier as he started reading the file.

"Last night, I was planning to poison Huang Xiaoxuan. However, when I heard ask her father to kill me. I decided to reciprocate."

"You will kill your own cousin?"

"No. Death is easy." Shrugging, she pointed at the file. "Concentrate on the details of the target." Seeing him drag his gaze back to the file, Lyca continued. "Huang Xiaoxuan likes Long Yi. So I am giving her what she wants. After all I am a very kind woman." Again, he raised his head and stared at her. "Stop staring at me like that!"

Shen Qui felt his lips twitch as he lowered his head again. Kind? Wasn't she planning to poison her own cousin last night? Of course, he didn't voice out his opinions and studied the target instead. Lyca continued talking. "Long Yi will visit my grandfather. He will be coming with the current patriarch who is also his father."

"You want to meet him?"

"Yes. You and I will meet them. Along with my grandfather."

"You want to defeat the Long Family?"

She snorted in response. "I want to live a lazy life and I will destroy everything that will stop me from having that kind of life." Nonchalance laced her voice. This wasn't just a simple defeat. Lyca was not planning to leave anything to this clan. She was not planning to sow some seeds and give them the opportunity for sprout revenge.

Dealing with someone who wanted revenge would be too troublesome; too much of a hassle.

"I asked father to create a special type of bullet. You will use the bullet in shooting the target. You can hit him in the chest instead of his head."

"Bullet?"

"Rot." She answered. "The bullet will rot one's flesh. Hitting someone's chest or stomach would be the best way to showcase its capabilities."

"You created a new bullet like this?"

"Yes. This will be the start of Huang Family's counter attack. Those companies or merchants who refused to sell us gun powder and other materials will never be able to buy our products again, unless they offer us a sincere apology with a lot of goods as compensation for breaking our hearts." Lyca was not a kind hearted woman. Since those people decided to side with the Long Family, then she would include them in her retribution and show them that kicking the Huang Family while they were down was the worst decision that they could make.

"But once the bullet hits the market wouldn't that be bad for the Huang Family? It will make other businesses create something like that too. They can easily study the " He didn't continue his words when Lyca handed him a tablet.

"It will explode." She answered. "If someone tries to study the bullet it will explode."

Wasn't this too vicious? As If sensing her thoughts, Lyca smiled and nodded.

"So you are planning to decline the marriage alliance?" he asked.

"Yes."

"The Long Family can be a little persistent."

"I know." She knew that the Long Family might use the merchants to pressure her grandfather. This is why she wanted to do the mission before they could visit the Huang Family. She just didn't want to give the grandfather even the slightest bit of time to consider this marriage.

"Lyca" he looked at her. "This is a very dangerous plan." All this required timing perfect timing. The shooting, the bullet, the black market, the Long Family.

"But I have you to protect me from danger." She answered, not caring about the fact that she had already ignited something inside him. Nor the fact that she was standing next to him too close. Shen Qui fought the budding attraction as he forced himself to stop staring at her. "It's either I go all out or just let them devour the Huang Clan." Lyca added.

He stared at her side profile, wondering why she had suddenly changed the way she treated him. Was it just because of his file, his secret? She tilted her head towards him. "I consider you my partner. And it's either I trust my partner or I trust no one at all." She uttered. Of course, this trust was something reinforced by the fact that they needed each other right now. She needed him by his side while he needed her for his revenge. The was just the concept of equivalent exchange.
