The shadow at the doorway stretched long under the light, and the sound of a gun being loaded was particularly startling in the night.
His indifferent voice rang out without any emotion, “Are you coming out by yourself, or do I need to blow your head off, Yin Man?”
Ji Tian took it as a bluff, but the next moment, a fruit and vegetable bin next to her exploded with his shot, and Ji Tian looked up in panic, only to see Black Spade Q.
His black trench coat rustled in the wind, and he held a silver gun in his hand, aimed at her head.
Ji Tian clenched the Token tightly in her hand and slowly raised her hands, “Don’t shoot, let’s talk.”
His thin lips parted, very detached, “Hand over the item to me.”
Behind Black Spade Q was a narrow corridor, and then the edge of the ship, with a low railing that could be climbed over.
Ji Tian calculated how many moves it would take to push someone overboard directly, but noticing he was guarding against precisely that, she temporarily shelved the idea and slowly moved toward him. All she had was a baseball bat, which was no match for a gun.
With one hand she handed over the Token, while keeping her eyes on his already loaded gun aimed unswervingly at her head. The closer she got, the more his scent of blood masked the crisp fragrance, Ji Tian tried to grasp at something, yet it was fleeting.
She looked behind him, her eyes widened, her voice half-covered, “Look behind you!”
Black Spade Q didn’t move. Instead, he paused when he heard Ji Tian’s voice. In that instant, Ji Tian swiftly snatched back the Token, kicked his wrist, and the silver gun ended up in her hands, pointed at his head as she smirked, “Fool, tricked you, you believe that?”
He just stared at her silently, a murderous intent surfacing in his eyes.
Ji Tian was not flustered, “Move aside, I need to leave.”
Unexpectedly, he moved towards the muzzle, stepped forward, closed the door behind him, and Ji Tian’s pupils widened in shock. What kind of thinking is this? Shouldn’t he let her go at this point? Why close the door! Really reckless!
He lifted his hand to shed his trench coat onto the floor, then his slender fingers began undoing his shirt buttons from top to bottom, stopping after the second one, “That was the last bullet, this gun is now useless.”
Ji Tian didn’t believe it; she pressed the trigger, firing a blank. The magazine was empty. He held a thick stick in his hand, “Since you refuse to hand it over, we must compete fairly, right, Yin Man?”
Ji Tian gripped the stick in her hand tightly, then after a moment, chuckled lightly, her gaze serious as she looked up at Black Spade Q, “You think I’d be afraid of you?”
It seemed this item was genuinely important to him, as he fiercely wouldn’t let go. When his stick swung towards her, Ji Tian blocked it with the baseball bat. The thing looked flashy but actually wasn’t bad quality.
Utilizing her petite stature and agility, she fought with Black Spade Q in this small storage room. It must be said, she thought he was only smart, but his physical skills were also impressive, clearly honed over many years. Ji Tian was strong and each hit made his wrists go numb, almost knocking the stick out of his hands.
Their eyes met on the Token in her hand. Using his height advantage, he swiftly knocked her down onto a pile of apples with one strike.
Ji Tian hissed lightly, and before the next strike could land, she quickly rolled to the side. Had she not moved, that last hit would have struck her head, and even if she were made of iron, she would have been concussed.
The commotion they caused was too loud, attracting others who were after the loot. Black Spade Q stepped forward, grabbed Ji Tian by her collar, and pushed her onto a pile of rice sacks, “Hand it over, don’t make me ask a third time.”
“Bang.”
The door was kicked open from outside, and Ji Tian seized the opportunity to kick the man in the stomach. After distancing him several steps away, she ran toward the door: “I won’t listen, what can you do about it?”
Ji Tian was so fast that she knocked several people down. Black Spade Q reacted and chased after her immediately. Ji Tian was incredibly annoyed, wondering how she couldn’t shake him off like some stubborn plaster. And this was out at sea; there was nowhere to run. After such a long battle, she was utterly exhausted; using force was indeed draining.
Finally, she ran up to the deck and found herself with no escape.
Facing the chilling sea breeze, Ji Tian turned to look at the man chasing her; he was panting lightly, his eyes fixed on the token in her hand. Ji Tian lifted her hand and shook it, “Want it?”
The next second, she swiftly threw it into the sea: “In your dreams!”
She was quick, but the man was quicker. The moment the token hit the water, he dove in after it. The sea breeze carried the scent of blood from his body, and with a “plop,” he disappeared into the sea.
Ji Tian stared at the calm sea surface, dumbfounded. Was he crazy? Still going after it? What a madman who doesn’t treasure his life!
Jumping into this sea was like a death wish. Was the token that important?
Behind her, a group of people surged forward: “Damn it, how dare you throw the Inheritance Order away, I’ll make you pay with your life!”
The noisy voices behind her were so distracting and irritating that Ji Tian, infuriated, picked up a baseball bat and fought back against the group. She was taking on three at a time, not only holding her own but actually gaining the upper hand.
Her moves were quick, precise, and ruthless. Without wasting any extra energy, she spent about fifteen minutes beating everyone until they were wailing on the deck before she stopped.
“This must really be Yin Man herself, right? Oh, it hurts, she hits so hard.”
“Whoever called her a fake, step forward, hiss, I promise I won’t kill you.”
Ji Tian paid no attention to their mutterings and looked back at the sea surface. More than ten minutes had passed, and not a single person—or even a fish—had surfaced.
“Miss Yin Man, let’s go. Use the lifeboat to get out of here, the ship is sinking!” Lin Shihuan appeared behind her; Ji Tian didn’t know how long he had been watching her fight.
Due to the fight, the ship had been punctured, letting seawater rush in crazily, causing the ship to slowly tip and sink. Ji Tian waited another five minutes, and when Black Spade Q really didn’t reappear, she climbed down the soft ladder dropped from the ship into the lifeboat Lin Shihuan had found.
Many powerful bosses had already tried to escape when the fight started; there were boats all around that could evac at any moment.
Sitting in the lifeboat, while two bodyguards rowed, Lin Shihuan said, “Miss Ji’s skills surprised me, I didn’t expect you to be so capable of fighting. By the way, what about the token? Do you still have it?”
Ji Tian sighed with a headache: “I thought that causing so many people to fight and, being such a disaster when spread out, it’d be better to just throw it in the sea to rest. I didn’t expect Black Spade Q to care for it so little as to dive right after it.”
She still couldn’t understand such behavior: “Is he sick? Is that thing more important than his life?”
Lin Shihuan was silent, sighing with regret: “Ah, maybe he was doing it for someone, just like I gave you five million, giving him some tempting money to go through with it.”
Ji Tian: “…”
Five million for her to jump into the sea? No way.
But five billion might do it.
