Chapter 712: Delicious?

Seeing that Shen Dongxing was still anxious, she lowered her tone a little. “Why are you always so timid? Be a man and show me some courage! You are an agent with powerful abilities yourself. You can mechanize all kinds of figurines. I have never seen someone as powerful as you.”

“But I need a computer, and I have to carry all those figurines with me. Otherwise... I can only mechanize figurines for an hour per day.” Shen Dongxing smiled bitterly and shook his head. “After that, I’m just another weak otaku.”

“Don’t worry. I will protect you when you can’t use your ability.” Yogurt patted her chest. She picked up a fry and persuaded gently, “Open your mouth.”

“Huh?” Shen Dongxing was a little flattered seeing Yogurt trying to feed him fries. He had been living with her for some time, but she had always kept a certain distance from him. They had not slept on the same bed before nor had they held each other’s hands. This was the first time Yogurt made such an intimate move.

Shen Dongxing’s ears turned red, and he closed his eyes with excitement. He then moved his mouth closer to Yogurt’s hand, and his lips touched her finger. A look of disgust flashed in the latter’s eyes, but she dismissed it quickly.

Taken aback by his uncontrollably bold actions, his eyes instantly snapped open and he quickly apologized. To his surprise, Yogurt did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Delicious?”

Shen Dongxing nodded repeatedly. “It’s delicious.” He then thought of something, stammered, and hastily explained, “I, I’m talking about... the french fries.”

“I’m talking about the fries as well.” Yogurt retracted her hand, quietly rubbed it at the inner part of the pack, and picked up another fry. “You don’t have to worry about your identity getting blown. Just hang in there. When this matter is over, I will look for a great guild, and we can join together. When that happens, my dad won’t dare hire someone to deal with you.”

“Okay.”

Shen Dongxing agreed to continue helping Yogurt. As he chewed on the fries, he stared at her with zealous eyes. “I will do whatever you ask me to do.”

“Good.” Yogurt smiled.

Suddenly, her mobile phone vibrated, notifying her that she had received a new email. Faking her kidnap that night was the first step of her plan. After that, she would use herself to threaten 1810. Since she was his illegitimate daughter, he would never let his team members know about it.

She was going to use this secret to threaten 1810. If he did not want his daughter to die, he would have to pay the ransom. That was how Yogurt blackmailed the Grade-C game item off him. As if that wasn’t enough to satisfy her, she asked for another 300 game points from 1810.

Yogurt was adamant in making 1810 lose all his possessions, and she was trying her best to force him to drop the “loving-father” act. When she managed to overwhelm him, Yogurt anticipated that he would give up on her to save himself. After all, she was not his only offspring. He still had a legitimate wife, children and had an everyday life.

Yogurt had always believed that 1810’s feelings for her resulted from his guilt towards her mother. This was actually what the unassuming person would do. The two had just met not long ago, and they had never lived together as well. 1810 treated her well not because of fatherly love but that he simply wanted to feel better about himself, seeing that he now had the ability to take care of his illegitimate daughter.

In the end, he was still a selfish man, and Yogurt wanted to expose his darkest secret. She wanted to prove that if he could abandon her mother back then, he would eventually abandon her too. Yogurt could live with the analysis of her relationship with 1810 but, she did make a few mistakes. The first was that she did not expect Black Swan to investigate her relationship with her father. Their secret was then exposed in front of other team members. As for the second mistake, she did not expect 1810 to spend 500 game points to hire Zhang Heng to rescue her. From there, her plan started to crumble. Shen Dongxing and Yogurt could never return to their safe house. But among these, the gravest mistake she could have made was to underestimate how dangerous 1810 was.

Yogurt looked at her mobile phone and saw 1810 sent her an email. The latter had stopped being nice. He told her that he had found out everything about Shen Dongxing, including his name, appearance, ID number, and even his social network accounts, and it was only a matter of time before he would be caught. But at the end of the mail, 1810 expressed his willingness to give Shen Dongxing one last chance. That was, if Shen Dongxing was willing to deliver Yogurt safely to the designated location, he might spare his life.

“What should we do now?” Shen Dongxing’s coolness lasted for only three seconds. He just mentioned that he would do whatever Yogurt told him to do. However, when he saw the ultimatum-like email, he immediately broke out in panic. “They know everything! We won’t be hiding for long. And I didn’t bring my wallet when I escaped! How much money do you have in your bag, and where are we staying tonight? I can’t stay at McDonald’s all night!”

“Hey, calm down. Don’t you see that he is just intimidating us? Since he sent us this email, it proves that he can’t find us.”

“But... he is telling the truth here,” Shen Dongxing protested. “How many days can we run from him? Sooner or later, they will capture us.” Shen Dongxing paused, then mustered his courage and continued, “Or, we can join Arc of Light now. They just destroyed the union not long ago, and they are receiving a lot of attention. As long as we join Arc of Light, your father wouldn’t dare do anything to us.”

“No.” Yogurt interrupted him. She realized that her tone was too harsh when she talked to him earlier. So, she quickly explained, “At least not yet. My revenge plan is only half-complete. I need to destroy him.”

“But we are about to lose this fight.”

Yogurt gritted her teeth. “Then we speed up our final plan. Tell him that we need 1,000 game points and his arm. If we don’t see it before dawn, he’ll be collecting my dead body.”

“Huh?” Shen Dongxing was dumbfounded, “But he... he’s close to finding us. Will he still agree to such a harsh condition?”

“It’s because he is desperate to find us that he will do what we ask,” Yogurt added.
