Chapter 279 - THE DEVIL AWAKENING

"You will not get off the ship even if you were able to defeat me. You will still have to face my soldiers." Dr Brown spoke with arrogance, but she was ready to defend herself in case of anything.

However, she did not think that Hu Lei had the guts to do anything. Only a pirate or a fool would attempt a takeover of a ship. The risks were too high.

Hu Lei smiled as she stepped closer.

"Why would I want to get off this ship? I came here for a final showdown." She laughed. "Do you think that your little concoction of drugs could keep me down for that long?"

Dr Brown felt a little threatened for the first time. She had given her soldiers the strongest sedative she had on hand and had instructed them to use multiple doses.

She stepped away from her desk warily, thinking about her next step. "What do you mean?"

Hu Lei lifted her eyebrow. "You know, for a person who claims to be intelligent, your comprehension abilities are quite poor. Even your sister was a little sharper than you."

Dr Brown saw red at the statement. She could withstand anything in the world, but she could not bear it when anyone said that Helen was smarter or better than her.

Ever since they were children, they were compared at every point. Their scores, their friends and their physical capabilities were constantly weighed against each other.

Even though Harriet had claimed that Helen was average at best, she knew the truth. The only thing she beat Helen at was being domineering. It forced Helen to step back and allow her to shine.

When Harriet had realised that Helen was a sociable, likeable and intelligent girl and better than her, she had manipulated her by threatening her with her death. Of course, Harriet was not going to kill herself, but it pleased her to see Helen step away from the limelight.

Moreover, she always gave in to her after that.

The foolish woman had even agreed to go to barren Antarctica, leaving a perfectly good job and life in Japan.

It was the ultimate proof that Harriet was better than the stupid one.

Now, hearing Hu Lei say those abominable words, she could not bear it. So, she attacked first with her heavy right fist.

Hu Lei was no longer restricted by her long dress, so she was not concerned about the attack. Plus, it was clear that Harriet Brown was quite weak. She directly caught the fist in her left hand and twisted it. It was child's play to her.

Within a few breaths, Harriet's face was on the couch. Hu Lei twisted the offending arm behind her back and pressed her head into the cushions.

"I wish we could play a little, but I do not want everyone to be on alert." Hu Lei giggled. "I do not want my first hijacking attempt to fail. I mean, my first ship hijacking. Something for the bucket list, wouldn't you say?"

Hu Lei spoke over the muffled sounds of Dr Brown with a casual and cheerful tone.

Harriet tried to shift from Hu Lei's control, but she could not. Instead, Hu Lei tightened her grip, causing her to hurt badly.

Realising that there was no solution, she raised her left hand in surrender and to indicate that she wanted to talk.

"Are you sure you don't want to scream for help?" Hu Lei asked.

Dr Brown shook her head, but there was malice in her eyes.

She had already noted Hu Lei in her black book. As soon as she released her, she would call out to her guards. Even though the door was locked, they had the resources to break the door down. She was sure that Hu Lei would not kill her because she could be a valuable hostage.

The thought of screaming for help felt beneath her. She had learnt self-defence so that she would not have to cry like a little girl every time she faced one of her subjects. Now, she had been beaten down without even taking a single move.

This humiliation, she would return it to Hu Lei a thousand times. Once they were in the lab and she was helpless, it would be open season. She would understand the word pain in a new way.

"I feel like you are lying to me." Hu Lei said.

Harriet indicated it was not the case with a fee hand.

Hu Lei sighed and spoke innocently. "I have become a little cautious after being tricked and kidnapped. I have definitely become careless when dealing with things. And my husband will be mad at me if I am hurt. So how about…"

Hu Lei released Harriet's face and the woman grinned evilly as she lifted her face from the cushions, ready to scream and take down the little b*tch.

However, it did not go as expected.

Just as she turned her head, she felt a knee on her back, and cold hands touched her face. Crack! Her jaw was dislocated in an instant.

It happened so fast that she did not even feel pain at the action. The surprise would have made her gasp in shock if her jaw had not already dropped.

What followed was blinding pain which caused a white-hot flash to stop her brain. She could no longer tell up from down, even when she was released.

Behind her, Hu Lei went around the desk and took her pantsuit jacket and tore a piece. She returned to the other woman and pulled her to face the front before stuffing her mouth with the cloth.

"Sorry, Doctor. I have trust issues. But we can chat more comfortably like this, right?" Hu Lei smiled.

Perhaps, Hu Lei had been living a little too easily in the past few months and had become a soft socialite who wrote in her free time.

The lifestyle had made her become a kitten without claws.

Now, she felt the wild rush that she had only experienced as Jane, and it changed her aura.

Dr Brown sensed the devil awakening and made muffled noises from her throat.

She should not have underestimated the woman.
