Ark, they don't revolve around you

Chapter 8 I'm just a pure love warrior passing by (k)

Two years ago, Syracuse.

In the quaint coffee shop, sitting at a table near the window, Zhuang Ning silently looked at the girl in front of him.

Her white bangs fall down, a slight smile appears at the corners of her mouth, and her deep blue eyes are calm and deep.

As long as she wasn't on the battlefield, she really seemed like one of the best-educated aristocratic elites.

Zhuang Ning called out her name: "Lapland."

"Doctor." The girl called Lapland smiled quietly. "I didn't expect you to come. You must be very busy on weekdays, right?"

"Fortunately."

"This is not a good thing... Never mind, maybe it's some kind of fate."

Lapland's index finger tapped the table rhythmically. The eldest daughter of a mafia family, also a lone wolf who was expelled from the family, just stared at the misty rain indifferently.

"Doctor, do you want to know my past?"

"Ok?"

"Just think of it as a sudden impulse on my part, looking for someone to talk to. It doesn't have to be you, but you just stood here."

Lappland lowered his eyes. "We have perfect cooperation. Your command is very good. Killing under your command is a pleasure. The howling when crushing the prey is even more moving."

"It seems I can't refuse your suggestion." Zhuang Ning's heart moved slightly.

"Yes, you see, you are very self-aware. I will not show mercy to an enemy." Lappland smiled even more brightly.

"Where should I start? Let me start with my family."

"Saluzzo, an ancient surname, has been rooted in Syracuse for thousands of years, constantly absorbing nutrients from the land and growing stronger."

"I am the daughter of the head of the family. When I was eight years old, my father gave me a dagger on my birthday."

"He took me to a dark cell underground, and I smelled a foul odor through the open door."

"I saw a man with his hands tightly bound, his body covered with wounds, and he was still begging for mercy."

"Then my father said to me, dear Lapland, you are eight years old. Eight years old does not mean adulthood, but a little wolf should also learn to find food by itself."

"He pointed at the knife, then at the man, and I grabbed the knife, walked towards him, and slit the man's throat."

"That was my first murder. On my eighth birthday, my father was so happy that he picked me up. His joy, excitement, and even pride gushed out of him like a spring gushing out of the earth."

"This is the path of Saluzzo. We are destined to walk in blood. We are the nobles of Syracuse's underground. We use swords, crossbows and guns to maintain our rule, and use blood and great rules to restrain our subordinates."

Zhuang Ning put down his coffee with a complicated look in his eyes. Although he still didn't understand why the girl said that, starting to kill at the age of eight was indeed a very abnormal education.

Lappland raised her head slightly, her white thighs raised, revealing black crystals embedded in her flesh and blood.

She murmured in a trance: "Because I am the daughter of Saluzzo, I can kill anyone I want."

"During the day, I studied art, and was taught by the best Leitanian artists. I learned etiquette like a Gallic nobleman, and I had many servants and dressed like a person from the civilized world."

"But at night, all these disguises fall away. I will pick up the sword and kill my father. He is merciless. Since I was eight years old, my nights are me being defeated by him again and again. He will taunt me with the most cruel and cold words, and the most terrible thing is that this is out of love."

"My father loves me, but like an eagle that throws its child off a cliff, he had to temper me like this. He told me that Syracuse is a country of wolves, every wolf is bloodthirsty, and every wolf king must be the strongest in the family."

"He said I must be the most powerful. My spells, my swords, my will. We are beasts wearing human skins. This is family."

"When I was ten years old, he gave me a mission to get rid of a traitor."

"I sneaked into the church where the traitor was, and the man was praying."

"I put my hand in my pocket, and the pocket was filled with a dagger. The child was the best disguise."

"I walked over without any hesitation. I didn't care why that person betrayed me. I just knew I had to kill him."

"The sound of the church organ was mighty, the choir's hymns were moving, but I only had my eyes on my prey. I came to him silently, stopped, and the moment he raised his head, I slit his throat with a dagger!"

"The blood was all over my coat and I cut off his ear as evidence."

"I walked out of the church in all splendor, and no one dared to move."

"Doctor, guess what I was thinking at that time?" Lappland suddenly stopped.

Zhuang Ning raised his eyebrows slightly while listening to the story: "I don't know about that."

"I thought it was hypocritical. How can a wolf hide its claws and teeth? Why should it put on a civilized coat? I thought, why should I dress like a lady? Why should I pretend to be so and attend celebrity events?"

"If we were wolves, we should be released back into the wild, but someone turned us into this, restraining the nature of wolves."

"This prison is Syracuse. My father is very pitiful. He is a prisoner of Syracuse, a blood-stained sinner who doesn't know it."

"After I killed someone, I came home and my father was cleaning his weapon."

"I suddenly asked him, can anyone really kill Saluzzo's daughter? He nodded and said calmly and gently, as long as you can bear the consequences and have the strength, I can have the bone crown of Lady Sicily."

"I'll ask him." Lappland was stunned, his voice dropped sharply, but his eyes suddenly lit up, like a wolf staring at its prey.

She whispered softly: "I asked my father, can I kill you?"

"My father smiled and answered me, of course you can, as long as you have the ability."

"The son killed the father, the new wolf king killed the old wolf king. He hugged me and whispered in my ear. He said, Lappland, one day, you will be able to do it."

"And you will make Saluzzo even stronger, my daughter, my pride."

"But if you can't do it, you should obey me and submit to me, because the weak are born to be servile to the strong. You are still under my protection, my daughter, let me teach you. Syracuse cannot easily reveal the intention to kill to the other party."

"Nice words are deceptive, and obedience is only a compromise out of helplessness at the moment."

"We live in a wilderness dotted with civilization. This is Syracuse, Doctor. Order and law are like the breeze!"

"The strong possess everything, the losers are killed. Congratulations, you have made it here!"

Lappland chuckled, growing more delighted, "Doctor, welcome to Syracuse!"

Zhuang Ning nodded.

After hearing so much, I neither felt impressed by Syracuse’s moral standards nor felt lost or disappointed.

He didn't even comment on Lapland's past, but just asked curiously on a whim: "According to your theory, the strong rule over the weak, and the strongest rule over the strong."

"If I am the strongest person," Zhuang Ning said seriously, "then can I have all of this?"

Lapland was moved by these words and laughed out loud without any grace. Tears came out of her eyes and she wiped the water drops from her eyelids.

She nodded, still so calm: "Of course."

"As long as you are strong enough, everyone should submit to you."

……

……

New Volsine.

This is an incredible city with no family interference, even though everyone is drooling over this piece of fat meat.

In the new city area, the sun was shining brightly. The bus slowly stopped and a couple hurriedly got off with their luggage. They looked around from time to time and then sighed, with a vague sense of relief.

"The family members shouldn't be able to catch up here, right?"

"I can't catch up. Lady Sicily has clearly stated that no family is allowed to stay in Volsinni. This is not the territory of those demons."

The woman smiled when she heard that.

However, she caught a glimpse of someone not far away.

Her whole body stiffened and she pointed with her finger. The man looked at her and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

He saw a very ordinary-looking man in a suit, lighting a cigarette and waving at the two men in a friendly manner.

But the man knew that the man was the one who wanted to wipe out the family, and he came to him after all.

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't dare to do it openly, this is the rule!" The man was still comforting his wife.

The next second, the destroyer took out various parts from his backpack and completed the assembly in less than a minute!

The crossbow was aimed at the couple's heads.

The exterminator pulled the trigger and said quietly, "The boss says hello, dear traitor."

Glass shattered.

The arrow broke the glass of the window and pinned a mannequin doll.

The couple panicked, abandoned their luggage and ran away. This was no longer an assassination, but a blatant execution. Hunting down the family's enemies in the most humiliating way!

The people around him screamed, and the killer enjoyed this atmosphere very much. He stepped forward step by step and loaded the trigger.

boom!

boom!boom!

The crossbow arrows flew neither fast nor slow.

This hunt is a good show, and the hunter will push his prey into despair step by step.

He hummed a song and stepped to the beat, feeling happy as he watched the couple running around.

Soon, the prey also realized that they were doomed.

There is a tall wall in front of me and footsteps approaching from behind me, deliberate and ostentatious.

Some people always say that dark alleys are the final destination of Syracuse people. Don't open the trash can easily, because there may be a traitor with his intestines disemboweled.

The destroyer cast a shadow in the light, covering the couple.

This time the prey had no chance to escape, so the killer threw away his crossbow and replaced it with a short knife. The blade had an obvious blood groove, and as long as it was stabbed into the body, the enemy's blood would gush out continuously.

The couple looked almost desperate.

The destroyer glanced at his wife, a very pretty woman, and his Adam's apple trembled.

"Sir, please spare my life. I can't stay in the family anymore!" The husband was still begging.

"You know that betrayers will die." The destroyer shrugged and smiled even more proudly, "Besides, this is my duty."

He said this, but hesitated for a few seconds.

The next moment, the annihilator reached out to his wife and grabbed her by the collar: "Your woman is very good, and you betrayed your family for her."
