Chapter 249 - What Did You Say About Me?

In an abandoned building outside the city. Elizabeth has just gained her consciousness back after she was hit in the head and taken away.

"What are we gonna do with her?"

"Who is she anyway?"

"Weren't those guards earlier wearing the Zhao's crest badge on them?"

Elizabeth continues to listen to the group's conversation, whilst she analyzes her current situation and her surroundings.

'They sure don't know how to tie a person up.'

Elizabeth felt her throat was dried up, as she pulled herself together in a sitting position and called out. "You, can you give me something to drink?"

They all turned around and saw the intimidating look in her eyes. They looked at each other and wonder what to do. Seeing the girl was already tied up and unable to move. One of the men approached her and poured some beer into her mouth.

Elizabeth coughs as the beer overflowed all over her mouth.

Unexpectedly, a man dressed in a formal black suit walked in, beside him was two female ladies dressed so seductively. He was bald at the same time has a scar on his right face. He was tall and his body was wide and well built. He looked intimidating and aggressive...

"Boss you're here..."

The man ignored his men and turned his attention at the girl seated on the floor.

"Girly who are you?"

"I'm Miss Liu's personal guard who is General Zhao's son's fiancee."

"Ah, so that explains why you were able to fight my men."

"Who ordered you to harm the Miss?"

"I wasn't targeting your Miss but the little brat you save."

Elizabeth was perplexed when she found out that the person they were targeting was Little Yan. She gathers her thoughts together as she listed all the people who would benefit from kidnapping the child. "You mean Little Yan?"

"Yeah, someone asked me to kidnap the little brat, but I didn't expect your Miss is a member of the Zhao."

"Then you do know that you're all in danger?" Elizabeth threatened the man whilst observing how everyone would react. She watched every detail from their expression, body language, and tone of speaking...

"Of course I do know that, but who cares… In the end, the mission failed and no one got hurt. Plus, we didn't do anything to your Mistress, so I'm sure the Zhao won't do anything against us." He explained as he grabbed one of the beer and started drinking it.

"But haven't you offended such a powerful family?" Elizabeth said as she continued to loosen the knot.

"You mean the Yun? I did, so what… That old man doesn't have any connection to find us. His family might be one of the richest families in the country, but they're nothing."

Elizabeth was in disbelief of what she was hearing. She expected the person who asked to kidnap Little Yan would be a lowlife but turns out to be someone powerful. "What proof do you have that the person is more powerful than the Yun?"

"I really hate when people keep asking me so many questions, but since your beautiful and soon will die, I won't mind entertaining you." He smiled l.u.s.tfully at her, whilst giving a signal to one of his men to continue to pour some drinks inside her mouth.

Elizabeth restrained herself and allowed them to continuously pour some beer and wine down her throat. Her body was getting hotter from all the alcohol in her system.

"So you're saying someone is trying to get the Yuns?"

"Girlie, the world is filled with evil people, of course, there will be people who wish to end them. They aren't a strong family so taking them down is easy."

"Which means the person who hired you is quite powerful then."

"Of course!" He proudly answered as everyone in the room laughed.

"More powerful than the Zhao?"

Everyone turned to silence when she asked the question. The looks on everyone's faces answered her question. They murmured to each other wondering if the person who hired them is as powerful as the Zhao. Seeing they didn't answer her, she continued to inquire.

"How about the Knightley?"

"Are you stupid or what?!"

Everyone in the room including the two ladies laughed at her ridiculous question. The Boss wiped the tears from all the laughter as he grabbed a chair and moved closer to the girl and seated in front of her.

"Girly, you must be new then that you don't know anything about your master. Let me tell you, the Knightley family is one of the most powerful families in the world. Lord Knightley not only holds people's life by being the richest man on earth, he's a member of the royal family in England, and not only that, his father was a great Commander in the army. Who would go against them…"

Elizabeth already expected the man would say all those words about her family. But thanks to his answer, she figured that the person can't compare to the Knightley but can challenge the Zhao which means the person is indeed powerful.

"What's even frightening, ordinary people like you won't know about this, but do you know... The Young Princess everyone is so curious about it not an angel as you think."

Elizabeth was dumbfounded that the man would unexpectedly talk about her. She noticed the man was true to his words at the same time, fear was written all over his face and everyone else. It made her curious if whether she has done something horrible in the past that she has no recollection of.

"Boss, the person called..."

The Boss got up his chair as the two ladies followed him leaving Elizabeth with the remaining group of men.

"Hey, tell me about the Young Princess." Elizabeth curiously asked as to why people knew something about her that she doesn't.

"Well, sure..." One of the men went closer to her and seated on the chair the boss left behind. "I don't know much but rumors said the Young Princess is actually someone else. Were not sure but rumors in the underworld say she a demon. I think it was a few years ago, maybe 5 years or so... She single-handed massacre a group of killers."

"She what?" Elizabeth's eye dilated in shock from what she just received.

'I killed someone?'

'5 years ago... Wait, why don't I recall such memory?'

"It's true, those who survived that frightful night told the story. We don't really know what happened and as to why she killed them. As you know, the underworld is pretty sh*t."

Everyone then started laughing as if they found the story a whole load of nonsense.

Elizabeth's head was slightly light-headed from all the alcohol. At the same time, she has finally removed the rope...

"What's so funny?"

The man seated in front of her faced her and answered, "Girl, that just b*llshit... I'm sure it was Lord Knightley himself who spread the story about his daughter so no one would dare touch her. Do you think someone like the pampered princess of the Knightley and Zhao would get her hands dirty."

A man interrupted and added. "That's right, at the same time... No one has actually seen the Young Princess. I'm sure she tucked in her castle of cotton."

Elizabeth's mind suddenly went blank. As if a switched within her that's long been locked away was suddenly switched on. She tilted her head from side to side as if she was warming up herself.

The man seated in front of her notice what she was doing but ignored it. "Anyways, the fact the story about the Young Princess being an amazing fighter, shooter and that... Come on, I'm sure she'll cry at the sight of blood."

"Are you sure?"

They were all silent when they heard the woman spoke up but in a strange and malicious tone.

"Hey, girl..."

As the man walked closer to Elizabeth to check on her. In a flash, they saw the man collapse on the ground as the girl twisted its neck in a blink of an eye. She looked at them as if she was a whole other person. With the same innocent smile, with a hidden meaning. She looked at each of them with such blood l.u.s.t.

"What did you say about me?"
