As Ning Shu said this, she couldnāt help but feel quite embarrassed because of these words.
Ning Shu wasnāt the only one having a hard time taking in these words, Mina also had an incredulous expression on her face.
When did she and Molly ever plan such a thing?
What the hell was Molly talking about?
Mina raised her head and looked at Perry, who was still hovering in the air. His facial color was very bad, and hesitation was beginning to seep into his expression.
Mina instantly understood why Ning Shu said what she said.
Ning Shu was trying to sow mistrust between Perry and her.
She swore to God that she had never planned to be a honey trap and trick Perry into coming to the blood hunter order manor!
Mina opened her mouth, wanting to talk to Perry, but couldnāt say a word. In anxiousness, her tears started streaming down again.
Perry saw Mina crying and looked back at the horde of vampires behind him.
He was now really suspecting that Mina was really faking it.
Perry was now very embarrassed. Heād bought so many vampires here, only to find out that he couldāve been beauty-trapped.
So it was a trick set by the blood hunters?
But that wasnāt the Mina he knew. The Mina he knew wasnāt a person that could do that. Perhaps Mina had been unaware of it all? Perhaps she too, had been tricked and used by the other blood hunters?
Darlene narrowed her eyes. However, she then smiled and blossomed like a beautiful rose. āSo thatās whatās really happened. Since itās all just a misunderstanding, then thereās no need for the punishment to be carried out anymore.ā
Immediately, the two executioners untied Mina from the cross. Minaās heart, however, was in such a state that sheād rather be tied up again.
She couldnāt say anything, and she had no way to explain herself.
Ning Shu walked over and took Minaās arm. She sweetly smiled and said, āMina, thank you for your hard work. Youāve brought so many vampires here; you really deserve a lot of credit for that.
āIn the future, Iāll only take a quarter of the reward for our missions. The rest is all yours,ā Ning Shu said with a smirk on her face.
Mina: ā¦
Mina pushed Ning Shu away violently. However, Ning Shu simply took a step back and stood steadily. She wasnāt angry at all and was still looking at Mina with a smile on her face.
Mina couldnāt speak. She could only keep gesturing to Perry with her hands. She could open her mouth, but couldnāt say a single word.
She had no way to explain what had truly happened.
Mina felt a little hopeless. Her eyes looked at Ning Shu with pure unadulterated loathing.
Still smiling, Ning Shu stretched out her hand to pull Mina away. āMina, weād better go. This battle isnāt something we can participate in, and your reward is already ensured.
āWeād better go first, so Perry wonāt vent his anger on you,ā Ning Shu said as if she was merely her caring friend.
Mina and Perryās faces only darkened with every word that Ning Shu uttered.
Mina tried to shake off Ning Shuās hand, but Ning Shu held her so tightly that she couldnāt break free.
Darlene smiled. āIndeed, this battle is not something you two should worry about. Having already made such a great feat, you will of course be generously rewarded.ā
Ning Shu glanced at Darlene. Although Darlene was smiling, the smile didnāt reach her eyes; she mustāve not truly believed what Ning Shu had said.
However, Darlene was probably willing to go with it because it preserved the blood hunter orderās reputation and also trampled on the vampiresā dignity.
She had seen the concrete evidence of Mina betraying the blood hunter order. However, sheād deal with that problem after sheād solved these intrusive vampires.
Mina was inwardly panicking. She couldnāt leave! She still had to explain herself to Perry.
She didnāt plan anything. She didnāt know anything about this. Molly was setting her up on purpose!
Ning Shu put some energy into her pull and dragged Mina away. Minaās feeble strength was incomparable to Ning Shuās.
She pulled Mina back to the room.
Minaās lips kept moving as if she was speaking to Ning Shu, but no sound came out of her mouth.
Mina was so angry that she lifted her hand to slap Ning Shu. This girl was really too vicious. How could she be so evil?
Ning Shu grabbed Minaās wrist and knocked her out with the hilt of her knife in her other hand.
