North American riot police: Start by arresting P. Diddy!

Chapter 178 Revenge is the most legitimate right in the world (Seeking monthly votes)

In front of the mirror, Luni gently wiped her makeup with a wet wipe.

She was still wearing her ballet tutu from the performance, standing on her toes, maintaining a standard ballet posture.

She gradually increased the pressure on her hands and wiped faster and faster. Even as her cheeks turned bright red, she maintained a cold expression.

Only those eyes, fixed intently on their reflection in the mirror, revealed a mixture of confusion and hatred.

But soon, her expression softened, and her eyes gradually reddened, as if she had remembered some sad past events.

Just then, a heated argument suddenly broke out in the cubicle behind them.

"Wipe it clean with your mouth, then get lost."

"What did you say?"

"I told you to disappear right now, didn't you hear me? Get out of my way!"

"Do you even know who you're talking to? I am..."

"You're a fart! Get out of here! F*ck Off!!!"

With a cold rebuke, the cubicle door was pushed open from the inside with a bang.

Under Luni's gaze, the world-renowned international film star first glared fiercely at the inside of the stall, then staggered out of the restroom, leaning against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a tall man with a cigarette in his mouth slowly walked out of the cubicle while fastening his belt.

The moment she saw him, Luni, who had only been observing out of curiosity, suddenly tensed all her muscles, and her left hand slid imperceptibly towards her waist.

Hidden there is a several-meter-long, hair-thin alloy steel wire.

This steel wire had helped her achieve countless goals, but at this moment, for the first time, she felt an unprecedented lack of confidence, and even unconsciously panicked.

The reason is simple: the man in front of her has such a terrifying track record that she has no confidence that she can subdue him.

Indeed, Luni recognized Rorschach the moment she saw him.

This level of disguise might fool ordinary people, but it can't fool a killer like her who has received professional training since childhood.

"If you're planning to pull out a weapon, I advise you to save your energy. You can't possibly pull out a weapon faster than I can snap your neck."

Rorschach casually walked to the sink, squeezed out some hand soap, and rinsed the fishy smell off his hands under the running water.

Luni stared intently at his composed movements, her brows furrowed tightly.

Her fingertips were already gripping the edge of the wire, ready to defend against any sudden attack from the man beside her.

"Were you the one secretly crying outside just now?"

Ignoring her wariness, Rorschach wiped his hands with a towel and asked with a half-smile, "What, did the KGB dock your pay?"

“KGB?” Luni was clearly taken aback and looked at him in confusion.

The girl's rapid blinking and genuine expression of confusion were clearly not feigned.

Rorschach immediately understood.

Either these girls are just ordinary assassins from the High Table, or apart from the leader, the others have no idea who they are working for.

He glanced at the blood-red mist above the girl's head, then at her reddened eyes, but ultimately did not snap her neck.

Luo Xia walked past her to the bathroom door, closed the door, used a mop to block the handle, and turned to look at the girl who was already pressed against the wall and in a defensive posture.

"It seems the Antonio family anticipated my arrival. So..."

He sat relaxed on the sink and gestured to the girl, "Where is Jaina hiding now? Tell me, and maybe I'll spare your life."

“The Antonio family is the Antonio family, and I am me! I have nothing to do with them!”

Luni retorted in a low voice, her back pressed against the cold wall.

“Go ahead and kill her if you want. She’s hiding in the manor’s bunker right now. There are hundreds of elite Mafia gunmen guarding it, but with your skills, they shouldn’t be able to stop you.” Rorschach raised an eyebrow at this, genuinely surprised this time.

As an assassin of the High Table, this girl was clearly performing for the Antonio family tonight, yet she showed no interest in protecting Jaina, and her tone even implied that she wished Jaina dead.

Even if one is to become a traitor, the speed of this defection is far too fast.

"interesting."

Rorschach suddenly changed his mind and was no longer in a hurry to find Jaina.

He slowly got up and walked towards Luni, who was huddled in the corner, his pace gradually quickening.

Luni, who was prepared, instantly drew the alloy wire from her waist, but just as she was about to make her move, Rorschach had already rushed in front of her with lightning speed.

Luni felt a blur before her eyes, and her right wrist was gripped by a large, iron-like hand, while at the same time she was struck hard in the abdomen.

Before she could even bend over in pain, a strong arm had already locked onto her throat.

In an instant, Luo Xia turned her around and pinned her against the wall, rendering her unable to move and making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.

That speed, that power.
Luni's eyes were filled with horror. She had never encountered such an opponent before. She was completely subdued without even having a chance to react!

"Speak! Who are you? Who do you serve?!"

Luo Xia loosened his arm slightly, allowing her to barely speak.

Luni coughed violently a few times, and after realizing she couldn't break free, she finally gave up struggling.

"I did indeed serve the High Table."

She gasped, “But I’ve decided to leave the High Table now. I have no hostility toward you, and I have no intention of harming you. You have enough enemies tonight, no need to include me.”

Rorschach remained unmoved, and increased the pressure on her waist with his knee: "Why did you defect?"

Luni bit her lip, clearly not wanting to answer the question, until a piercing pain shot through her spine and she hissed, "They killed my father! I want revenge!"

"Who did it?"

"I don't know, I only know it's a director of the High Table."

Luni's voice was filled with suppressed hatred. "The people in the dance troupe gave me drugs, trying to make me forget all of this. But I stopped taking those pills a long time ago. In the past few days, I've remembered that when I was a child, my father was killed by the High Table, and I was adopted by the High Table and trained to be a killing machine."

"So, that's why you were sobbing just now?"

Luo Xia whispered in the girl's ear, "You finally regained your memories and were ready to take revenge on your enemies, only to find that the enemy you faced was far more powerful than you had imagined?"

Although Luni remained silent, her eyes, brimming with resentment and anger, said it all.

A few seconds later, Rorschach suddenly released his grip, chuckled, and took two steps back.

"The story was well told, and it was quite touching."

Luo Xia observed the girl's stubborn expression and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Luni," the girl whispered, rubbing her reddened wrist.

Rorschach nodded, then suddenly pulled a fully loaded pistol from his back waist.

"Then, Luni, remember to tell me when you find out who that director is."

He tossed the pistol to the girl, tidied his hair—which he'd messed up while sparring with Monica in the stall—in front of the mirror, then turned and opened the bathroom door to leave.

Luni watched his retreating figure, her eyes filled with confusion.

"You...you want to help me? Wait, why do you want to help me?"

Rorschach turned around, his gaze sweeping over her pristine white ballet dress, and replied earnestly, "Revenge is one of the most legitimate rights in the world. I have no reason to stop you, and I think blood would suit your dress better."
