Chapter 538 Chapter 538
Mary Kay was anticipating a response from Ni Yang, but she was taken aback when the mysterious figure remained silent. Frustration crept into her demeanor, but before she could express her displeasure, Ni Yang, devoid of any acknowledgment or courtesy, moved decisively.
With swift and calculated movements, Ni Yang closed the distance between them, catching Mary Kay off guard. His attack, executed with precision, aimed to incapacitate Mary Kay and disrupt the calm ambiance of her office. The guards, sensing the sudden turn of events, reacted with urgency, but Ni Yang's proficiency and speed proved to be a formidable challenge.
The clash between Ni Yang and Mary Kay unfolded within the confines of her office, the room turned to a battleground of conflicting forces. Mary Kay, who had expected a diplomatic exchange, found herself thrust into a physical confrontation.
The initial strike from Ni Yang forced Mary Kay to stagger backward, the unexpected force catching her off guard. However, Ni Yang exhibited relentless determination as he pressed forward, refusing to afford Mary Kay even a moment's respite.
Reacting swiftly, Mary Kay summoned a protective barrier of mana, hoping to fend off Ni Yang's subsequent assault. The translucent wall materialized just in time, providing a momentary defense against the impending danger. Yet, before Mary Kay could fully comprehend the situation, Ni Yang harnessed the formidable power of Qi Blade.
With a seamless and precise motion, the Qi Blade cleaved through Mary Kay's magical defense, rendering the mana wall ineffective. The unstoppable force of Ni Yang's attack left Mary Kay vulnerable and exposed, grappling with the realization that her magical defenses were insufficient against the relentless onslaught.
The attacks were so fast that Mary couldn't react in time and was knocked back, Ni Yang directly got close to her and grabbed her neck. Ni Yang's sudden and forceful grip on Mary Kay's neck left her gasping for breath as she was forcefully pushed to the ground.
"Stay away from Nexus, or next time, you will pray for death."
Struggling under the relentless pressure, Mary Kay felt the cold fingers of fear tighten around her as Ni Yang issued a stern warning.
"Why are you attacking me over Nexus? Did he claim I hurt him or attacked him? And who are you to come after me because of him?" Mary Kay's voice, strained and desperate, sought answers from the silent assailant.
Ni Yang remained unmoved, his expression revealing nothing as he continued to exert pressure on Mary Kay's neck. In the silence that followed, Mary Kay's mind raced with fear and confusion. Was this mysterious figure truly working on Nexus's behalf, or was there more to the story?
As her struggles intensified, the room seemed to close in on Mary Kay, the weight of Ni Yang's threat and her unanswered questions bearing down on her. The air became heavy with tension, and Mary Kay's thoughts became a tumultuous whirlwind of uncertainty.
"I am going to say this for the last time," Ni Yang said and moved his mouth close to her ear. "Stay away from Nexus, or Next time, you will pray for death." Ni Yang said, his repeated warning hung in the air, a stark reminder of the precarious situation Mary Kay now found herself in. Despite her initial defiance, a sudden surge of murderous intent from Ni Yang sent shivers down her spine.
As the atmosphere in the room grew more tense, Ni Yang's aura, previously underestimated, revealed its true potency. Mary Kay who was feeling the weight of the danger, now realized the gravity of the situation. Fear gripped her, and her survival instincts screamed for caution.
This time, Ni Yang's threat was delivered with an intensity that matched the newfound strength of his aura and reverberated through the room. "Stay away from Nexus, or your neck will break next time," he warned, each word laced with the promise of dire consequences.
Mary Kay, recognizing the genuine threat to her life, closed her eyes in an attempt to shield herself from the overwhelming fear. In that moment of vulnerability, she silently pledged to refrain from using Nexus for her schemes. The room was fraught with tension as Ni Yang's unspoken promise hung in the air, leaving Mary Kay to grapple with the newfound understanding of the perilous game she had been playing.
"Alright, I promise to never get close to Nexus again, or try to harm him" Mary Kay's voice, laced with a mixture of fear and submission, broke the silence as she promised to cease any attempts to use Nexus for her own ends. Ni Yang, seemingly satisfied with her pledge, slowly released his grip from Mary's neck, allowing her to draw in a desperate breath. The room which was once charged with tension, now held an air of relief mingled with an undercurrent of fear.
As Ni Yang stood up, Mary Kay, still catching her breath, felt a combination of physical and emotional strain "Why... why are you doing this for Nexus?" Mary stammered, her voice shaky and strained. Ni Yang's expressionless gaze met her gaze but he remained silent.
Ni Yang's aura died down and he sighed, he looked straight at her and his words cut through the tense air, "Stay away from him. No matter what you do, your actions won't go unnoticed, and the consequences won't be as forgiving next time." Mary Kay with a mix of fear and defiance in her eyes, nodded hastily as she realized the gravity of the situation.
The guards stationed outside of her office were, oblivious to the intense encounter within, unaware of the dramatic events that had transpired. Ni Yang with his gaze devoid of any emotion, stared at Mary for a moment before turning to leave, leaving behind a shaken and subdued Mary Kay in the aftermath of their confrontation.
As Ni Yang made his way toward the exit, a serendipitous encounter occurred at Mary Kay's office doorway. Just as he was about to step out, Angel, with an air of confidence, approached the entrance. The two figures locked eyes briefly, and a subtle tension filled the air.
Ni Yang, maintaining his facade, furrowed his brows as if irritated by Angel's presence. "Get out of my way" uttering that single word, he forcefully pushed her aside, creating a deliberate and calculated distance between them. The coldness in his gaze and the deliberate dismissal left Angel momentarily puzzled "What the fuck are you doing" she jerked.
Ni Yang ignored her and continued his departure without acknowledging Angel, leaving her to wonder about the abrupt encounter.
Angel, standing at the doorway, felt a surge of energy that sent shivers down her spine. The air around the mysterious man seemed charged, and she couldn't help but marvel at the raw power he exuded. It was a stark contrast to her perception of Nexus – a young master she considered, by comparison, to be relatively unremarkable.
In the brief moment when their paths intersected, Angel hesitated. She contemplated confronting the man, driven by her typical audacity. Yet, a deep-seated intuition warned her against such recklessness. The aura he projected was far beyond what she had encountered before, prompting a rare moment of caution.
