Inside the meeting room on the second floor of Fate, the atmosphere inside had turned menacingly dark. Even the temperature had dropped like they were standing in the center of Antarctica.

However, despite the drastic chance of atmosphere, everyone kept their eyes on Yue Ling then to Gao Jie.

After staring enough, Fei Tao glance away from the two leaders to the assistant. Glory's leader, who could not attend the meeting had already told him about the incident, so he didn't stay to see what will happen.

All he knows is that Gao Jie reap what he sow.

Looking away, he leaves the room to wait for Yue Ling outside. As he exit the room, quickly following him were Qin Yi, Chu Qiang, Lo Fat, Hung Woo and Steelhead.

Everyone knows their place, as this is a matter between Fate and Snakehead.

Seeing the leaders leave, Li Wei ponder in thoughts. Since Yue Ling is here, that man should be here too. He looks at Uncle Zhi and smiles politely to the middle-aged man.

"Zhi Jian Hong, can you bring me to where he is?

"

Uncle Zhi nods his head. Turning to Yue Ling, he gestures a respectful bow.

"Leader, I will be back.

"

Hearing the way the man addressed her, Yue Ling swore she almost lost her balance. When has she ever approved of them calling her 'leader'?

Quickly shaking the thought away, she decides to go along. She didn't nod or say anything, but Uncle Zhi knew her silence meant he can leave.

Gao Jie stood about five feet away from her and his obese slightly trembles. At first, he was wondering about who Li Wei meant by 'he', but now his eyes shifted from Yue Ling to the middle-aged man then it repeats.

The man he had assumed was the leader is actually the infamous, Gold Fist, Zhi Jian Hong.

He had thought Yue Ling was an imposter, but now, he knows that she is the real person. Someone well-known as Zhi Jian Hong will never refer just anyone as his leader.

Being the only other leader beside Gao Jie, Red Moon's leader, Tao Meng thought to himself in silence. Ignoring the obese man, he walks over to the beautiful leader.

"Mami, it is my greatest pleasure to finally meet the leader of Fate. You have my words. I will not fail to give Steward Yang an apology.

"

Yue Ling gives him a light nod that she hopes he keeps his words. Seeing her approval, Tao Meng heads for the door. However, his eyes subconsciously glance to Liu Shan and his brows slightly furrow.

Why does the man look so familiar? Where has he seen him before?

No, that's not possible. If they did meet somewhere, he would remember as Liu Shan's face is one that women and men will never forget.

Brushing his thoughts aside, Tao Meng walks out of the meeting room leaving Gao Jie to be the only leader behind. Of course, he wasn't the only one as he had two of his men with him.

At the same time Liu Shan stood to the left of Yue Ling. He had been so focused on Gao Jie that when Tao Meng walked pass them, he by chance met the bulky man's eyes.

Their eyes met for a brief second, but it was enough to make his eyes slightly shook. However, he shifts his gaze back to the obese man and his expression returned to its usual appearance.

"M-Mami, this… he is one of your subordinates?

"

Gao Jie asks in a chuckle, but one can hear the nervousness in his voice. He did not expect that the person he had looked down on at Glory is someone from Fate.

If he had known this, he would have been careful. He should have listened to Steelhead, yet, his ego got the better of him.

Thinking about something that will get him out alive, he decides to play stupid. Yue Ling was not there, and he had been drinking. No one will know if he was drunk or sober.

"If I offended him in anyway, I do apologize. I was drunk and did not know he was your people.

"

Yue Ling stares at the man with no change in her expression. She already saw through his intentions as everything is well written on his face.

A very tiny smile appears on her face behind the silver kunoichi negra mask.

"I see, so everything was all a misunderstanding.

"

Hearing her words, Gao Jie's eyes lit up and he sighs in relief. Seems like the leader of Fate isn't as smart as him. He only fabricated some parts of the story and she believed him.

However, just as he thought this, Yue Ling's next words struck him like lightning.

"If only it had been someone else.

"

She raise one hand and leisurely flicks her hair behind her back.

"As a leader from the underworld, you should know already how I treat my people.

"

She takes a few steps towards the man to close their distance. Her bluish green eyes turned into a darker shade and her words continue.

"Anyone who lays a hand on my people never live to see another day.

"

Quickly as her words fell, her left hand reach behind before pointing it directing at Gao Jie's forehead.

*Click

Gao Jie's eyes widen as his two men retrieve their guns and pointed it at her. However, just when their hands touched the handle of the guns, two people from the five figures in masks already got to them.

"Tsk tsk.

"

Qi Li click his tongue at one man with the tip of his gun press on one man's back. Next to them, Gui Tian Lan points a three-inch needle on the second man's neck.

"Do it and I will turn you into one of my experiments.

"

Both men were rooted to the floor. Neither saw when or how the two people made their move.

Gao Ji stares at the stunning woman in front of him and his face turned paler and paler. However, realizing something, he turned dumbfounded.

What he thought to be a gun was actually the tip of Yue Ling's pointer finger pointed at him like a gun.

He swallow a hard gulp as he almost pissed himself. However, deep inside, he was sneering at how her little trick was able to scare him so much.

His lips part to say something, but before he could, Yue Ling's right leg lifts up and tip of her red heel touches the side of the man's head.

Without giving any warning, she adds a little strength and slams the man down on the floor.

Anyone who sees this would be shocked speechless as Gao Jie is three times the size of her. However, she was able to strike him down like she was kicking a ball.

Being suddenly kicked like this, Gao Jie groan in pain on the floor. The harsh impact of the fall struck his head then body. He swore he was seeing birds fly in a circle.

Yue Ling stares down at the man like she was Asura from Hell. Not caring about the pain he was feeling, she did not feel sorry for him at all.

"Killing you is easy.

"

She scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and turns around. Walking towards Liu Shan, her words fell without looking back at the obese man.

"However, I feel like being generous tonight. So, everything will depend on what he sees fit.

"

Giving her assistant a silent nod, she strides out of the meeting room.

As much as she wanted to kill the man for hurting her people, it is up to Liu Shan as he was the one who was harmed.

If Liu Shan wants Gao Jie's life, he can have. Even if Snakehead comes after him, she will protect him.

However, if Liu Shan decides to let the man live, that's fine too. Gao Jie's life was already decided the moment he thought he can side with Chu Li Xiang and get away with it.
