Chapter 309: Chapter 10: Treat You to Candy for Free
Extracting the bullet, stitching up the wound, bandaging it, Kalifa was handling Su Xiao’s wound with a highly unnatural expression.
"Let me go, my chest is about to be chafed. If it leaves a scar there, I will never forgive you."
Kalifa looked coldly at Su Xiao.
"Why don’t you just scream then, accuse me of harassing you."
"You think I don’t dare?" Kalifa made a gesture to scream and stealthily pulled open her collar a bit, as if she really had been harassed by Su Xiao.
"You dare not," Su Xiao replied calmly and continued, "The poison in your hand is something only certain intelligence organizations use. How would a mayor’s secretary have such poison? Are you a spy from an enemy nation? A Navy intelligence officer? A Revolutionary Army agent?"
Kalifa paused her action of pretending to scream and tightened her collar.
"What is it you want?"
Indeed, Kalifa was more afraid of exposure than Su Xiao. If Su Xiao were exposed, he would at most be expelled from the Galley-La Company, but if Su Xiao accused Kalifa of being a spy, even if Iceberg didn’t believe it, he would still harbor suspicion and might investigate. That was something Kalifa couldn’t allow.
Su Xiao stood up, slightly loosening the Boundary Line.
"Follow me."
Su Xiao said, watching Kalifa, waiting for her response.
Kalifa gritted her teeth and said, "Release this damn metal line."
"Are you dreaming?"
Su Xiao looked at Kalifa with slight surprise. Kalifa’s heart sank, thinking that getting away wasn’t going to be that easy.
Kalifa hesitated in place, weighing whether her Rokushiki’s Iron Block could defend against the strangling metal line.
Feeling the sharpness emanating from the cold, Kalifa sighed inwardly, thinking she probably couldn’t defend against it. Her proficiency in Iron Block wasn’t high, so she eventually took a deep breath and shouted:
"Mr. Iceberg, I’m taking Bai Ye to the hospital for treatment, he’s lost some blood."
Iceberg turned his head to look at Su Xiao and Kalifa, speechless. They were standing very close, Kalifa almost in Su Xiao’s arms.
Iceberg felt quite puzzled, since when were the two of them so close? Could it be love at first sight?
"Go on then, young people should be full of vitality."
Iceberg chuckled lightly and continued investigating the situation of the old shipyard.
Kalifa walked ahead in her high heels, with Su Xiao closely following her. As long as Kalifa made the slightest move, he would not hesitate to crush her like a flower.
This time he truly was in luck. Kalifa dared to approach him. Perhaps she didn’t expect Su Xiao to be so bold as to capture her in front of Iceberg, and coupled with Su Xiao’s severe injuries, Kalifa inevitably let her guard down.
"What’s your goal? If you want to sleep with me, forget it. Even if I die, I won’t let you have it easy."
Kalifa’s attitude was firm, and Su Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"I just want to ’talk’ with you."
Su Xiao pulled the Boundary Line, indicating for Kalifa to walk into a nearby alley.
The alley was only two meters wide. Su Xiao looked at Kalifa in front of him. He was hesitating whether to deal with Kalifa now to see if he could obtain Rokushiki’s body technique.
But after considering the consequences of killing Kalifa, Su Xiao shook his head. Not only would Rob Lucci and others hunt him down, but the Galley-La Studio would also not let him go, and the World Government would be involved as well. A dead-end, at least for now, Kalifa couldn’t be killed.
Risks outweighed the returns. Su Xiao began to think of other strategies.
Kalifa, standing beside Su Xiao, was sweating on her face. She clearly felt the man hesitating whether to kill her.
"If you want to kill me, just do it. But if you do, you’ll have to become a pirate. Don’t even think about setting foot on any island again; someone will hunt you down relentlessly."
Kalifa chuckled disdainfully, seeming unconcerned about life or death, but in reality, she wanted to live. It’s a human instinct.
Su Xiao was considering how to handle Kalifa when suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. Although this plan was somewhat crude, it was fitting for the current situation.
"Ms. Kalifa, do you like chewing gum?"
Kalifa blinked, suddenly feeling something was off.
"No, I despise it."
"You don’t have a choice. Today, I’m giving you free candy—no, chewing gum."
Su Xiao released a large amount of the Boundary Line, tying Kalifa up like a mummy. Kalifa fell to the ground, her hands and feet bound. The sharp boundary line prevented her from struggling too hard.
Su Xiao walked over to Kalifa, straddling her on the ground.
"What... what are you going to do?"
Kalifa gritted her teeth, glaring at Su Xiao. Su Xiao pinned Kalifa face-up on the ground, sitting directly on her abdomen, with something that looked like chewing gum in his hand.
Intermediate Alchemy Bomb, damage range of six meters, explosive damage of 100 points, very small in size.
Su Xiao grasped Kalifa’s jaw with one hand, intending to pry her mouth open.
Kalifa clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to open her mouth despite the intense pain in her cheeks.
Despite Su Xiao’s efforts, he couldn’t pry open Kalifa’s mouth.
"Open your mouth."
"No." Kalifa mumbled unclearly, her cheeks flushed from the pinching.
Su Xiao chuckled coldly, slowly unsheathing the Dragon Slash from his waist. One hand gripping Kalifa’s cheeks, he reversed his grip on the blade, intending to pry it open with the knife!
Kalifa showed a look of despair. Her enemy was more ruthless than she imagined.
As Dragon Slash approached her red lips, Kalifa’s mouth slowly opened in resigned acceptance.
The Dragon Slash was sheathed, and Su Xiao stuck the Intermediate Alchemy Bomb into Kalifa’s mouth, thrusting his index and middle fingers down her throat.
Kalifa gagged repeatedly, tears streaming uncontrollably, her eyes rolling back.
Gulu, the Alchemy Bomb was swallowed by Kalifa, and with a feeling of humiliation from having her mouth forced open, she bit down on Su Xiao’s index and middle fingers.
Su Xiao’s face stiffened, this woman actually dared to bite him, although being bitten wasn’t a major issue.
He pinched Kalifa’s soft chin with his thumb, gripping her tongue with his index and middle fingers.
Kalifa gagged and hurriedly let go. Su Xiao’s fingers were free, and he shook off the saliva, wiping his fingers on Kalifa’s clothes.
"I will... kill you."
Kalifa had never been so humiliated, and what was even more despairing was that she didn’t know what she had swallowed.
"Kill me? Dream on, you can’t do it."
Su Xiao began activating the Alchemy Bomb. As it expanded to a certain size, it stopped, to prevent Kalifa from spitting it out.
Unless Kalifa had stomach surgery, she couldn’t expel the Alchemy Bomb within a week. After a week, the bomb would be corroded by stomach acid and rendered ineffective.
Su Xiao retrieved the Boundary Line, granting Kalifa her freedom.
"What did you make me swallow?"
"Dog excrement."
"Ugh~." Kalifa gagged repeatedly, looking desperately at Bubute Ni, as there was indeed a dog nearby, and the Alchemy Bomb emitted a strange odor.
"You’re doomed."
Kalifa clenched her fists, her slender fingers making cracking sounds.
"Rest assured, I wouldn’t feed someone shit; you just swallowed a bomb."
Su Xiao minimally activated the Alchemy Bomb, the surface emitting high temperature, causing Kalifa to scream and fall to the ground.
"My stomach is burning!"
Cold sweat soaked through Kalifa’s shirt on her back, and it took a long time for her to stand up.
"What is it you want?"
Kalifa panted heavily, realizing that Su Xiao couldn’t be underestimated.
"I have no real objective. If you have companions, tell them to stay out of my way. Leave me alone."
Finishing his words, Su Xiao left the alley. The storyline was only at its starting phase; the time for carnival hadn’t arrived yet.
In the alley, Kalifa tried inducing vomiting with her pale fingers but couldn’t expel the white bomb even as she vomited until she was exhausted.
