Chapter 858
Generally speaking, the guests would bring gifts to the wedding banquet.
Lucy unabashedly walked straight past the reception counter to eat.
She couldn't give them a gift!
(Don't try to get anything from me.)
Recently, she was tired of a mission in Northern Europe. She had just earned millions of euros but she found her target didn't die completely. She barely survived after falling into an ice cave and losing all the money.
"I'm so poor. Where is Christina? I need to borrow some money from her..." Lucy looked around after she entered.
Her boss was so generous to close the 30-story downtown nightclub for a week to hold an engagement party for his wife's friend, whom Lucy didn't know.
The top floor had 500 square meters and there were hundreds of guests here. The lights were dim and the music was soft. Men and women were dancing, drinking and chatting. Lucy couldn't find Christina so she ate first.
The engagement party was a buffet, with plenty of delicious food.
Lucy narrowed her eyes and was in a good mood in an instant. She quickly picked up three large plates of seafood and meat, held the large plate with one hand, and found a quiet corner to eat.
It was probably because Lucy enjoyed her meal so much that she quickly attracted the attention of other accomplices.
"Honey, I heard that you almost died in the ice sculpture. I didn't expect you to escape again...” Two skinny but strong men sat directly opposite her. "Lucy, I thought you were really going to die. I was sad for a few minutes.” As he spoke, he chuckled and threw a bottle of beer at her.
With a lamb chop in her mouth, Lucy looked up at them expressionlessly and mumbled. "Get out.” Gary and Alan were used to her rudeness, and they laughed obscenely.
Lucy continued to eat with her head down, ignoring them.
As killers, they wouldn't have a tomb after they died and even their corpses may be eaten by wild animals. They earned money in an extremely dangerous way. They could save a lot of money, but they were used to splurge.
"I suspect that boss deliberately contributes to our profligacy so that he can continue to get us to work for him."
Lucy thought she was right as she chewed on the mutton.
"Lucy, what are you muttering?" Gary looked at her teasingly.
They realized that Lucy was a little different from before. In the past, she got angry easily and was cold-blooded and vengeful. Although LUCY was a woman, her performance was excellent. They didn't dare to provoke her.
"Lucy, are you getting more and more feminine?" Alan sighed with emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucy's eyes turned cold. She quickly grabbed the beer on the table and threw it at Alan. Alan blocked it with his thin arm. "Ouch, my arm bone hurts. It's broken!" He immediately screamed in pain.
Gary looked at them gloatingly. They were used to playing like that. Lucy used to have a bad temper and she would rather beat someone than quarrel if she was in a bad mood.
She wouldn't stop until she crippled someone.
"Alan, I told you that you will be ruined by your words sooner or later. Look, Lucy is teaching you a lesson. Hahaha..."
There was a steel knife on the plate for cutting the leg of a lamb. Lucy throw it at Gary so fast that they could hardly see her movements. Although the light of the engagement party was dim and soft, the cold light on the knife was frightening.
"Thump." The knife brushed past Gary's face and poked straight into the bench behind him. He was so scared that he sat up straight and did not dare to move.
Gary and Alan looked at each other in fear.
Damn, Lucy lost her temper.
It seemed that her mission in Northern Europe was really unpleasant.
"Bang!" Lucy pounded the table and stood up.
She finished the food on her plate, glanced at them, and warned, "I'm in a bad mood. Get out of here!"
Gary and Alan knew her bad temper very well and immediately went away in half a second.
"How annoying.” Lucy frowned and said in their direction.
In fact, Alan was right. She also felt a change in her mood.
"Maybe it's because of Christina."
In the past, she had never considered the future. She felt that it didn't matter where she died, and it wasn't home anywhere anyway.
After having a connection with Christina for some time, she was probably jealous of her. She suddenly had an inexplicable idea after seeing Christina's stable and normal life.
"I'll retire after one more mission."
She even thought about it. (No, one mission is not enough. I need five more.)
Lucy walked towards the vegetable and fruit section with disgust. She had just eaten so much meat and needed to eat some grass, but she herself hated vegetarian food so much that even delicious food could not comfort her.
Seeing Lucy's face darkened, Gary, Alan and a few of the club's members immediately moved away from her. They were afraid of provoking her because Lucy was even more ruthless than them when she was in a bad mood.
"Let go of me."
But just then, a reckless person appeared.
The light above the food section was dim and orange, and her face darkened. She passed the row of seats with a plate of fruit salad in her right hand, but suddenly someone grabbed her left wrist.
"Let go of me."
Lucy stood still and her eyes were still fixed on the man. She counted through clenched teeth, "1, 2, 3..." She gripped the large plate of fruit salad with her other hand and her blood pressure was rising. Gary and Alan immediately became excited and reached out to see more carefully. "Who dares to flirt with Lucy..."
"It's probably because the light is too dark. There are so many beautiful women here. Why does he flirt with Lucy..."
"Tsk tsk, do you think the boss will be angry if Lucy causes a bloody incident at this engagement party?"
Lucy gritted her teeth and said, "I'll kill you if you want to die!" She held the large plate of fruit salad in her right hand and tipped it over the head of the man on the seat. She used all of her strength to make the man’s head explode tonight.
Clang...
Nobody expected that the man in the chair could avoid her hit.
The fruit salad and crystal plate fell to the ground in a mess.
Gary and Alan were amazed. "Master!" They looked like they were watching a play.
The man still refused to let go of Lucy's left wrist and held it tightly. (He's really a master and is not afraid of death.) They immediately sneaked over to watch the battle.
Lucy suddenly wanted to pull her hand back, but the man was so strong that he squeezed her left wrist tightly as if he was going to break her hand bone.
Lucy was really angry now. She had only wanted to injure him, but now she wanted to kill him.
"I'm going to kill you."
As Lucy angrily raised her left fist and was about to hit the man's side face, he said in a slow, pure and lazy tone, "I have a headache.”
The man's voice shocked Gary, Alan and the crowd.
Lucy withdrew her fist in time!
In the distance, the colourful light flashed past. "Derek!" Only then did Gary and Alan see clearly that the man was Derek.
