The Billionaire's Genius Wife

His whole body stiffened, and his hand slowly lifted to take his gun. He pointed his pistol at Scarlett before asking, "Who are you? Why did you come here!?"

"Who I am is none of your concern! What you need to be concerned about is that I will give you two choices. You can walk away, never show your face again, and live. Or you can fight me, hurt yourself, and die! Your choice, lad."

"BWAHAHA... This girl! You think you can leave this place alive, fighting all of us?" Another man behind the entrance said.

"What a stupid little missy!!" another shouted.

Scarlett didn't say a word. Her eyes only stared at the 13 guns pointed at her. Well, not her, but the man she used as a shield. And her face looks so serene.

It made everyone in the room tense. Because there was not the slightest bit of fear in this girl's eyes. On the contrary, everyone in the room who saw her eyes felt fear — they seemed to see demonic flames dancing through her eyes.

"I can see your movement speed, but how can you be faster than all our guns!?" The other man replied, though, in his heart, he was tense and scared when the girl's eyes saw him.

And when her smile widened, his whole body stiffened. He felt a demoness smiling at her. Holy shit!!

"Go ahead, shoot me if you want to know the answer!" Scarlett said indifferently, but anyone who heard her voice could feel it was as cold as ice.

While his comrades insulted Scarlett, Troy asked his comrades beside him to check outside whether this girl was alone or had backup.

He had been suspicious since seeing how calm she was earlier when more than a dozen people were in the room.

'Impossible she came here alone, right!? There must be a team ready to ambush us?' Troy thought as he calmly studied the girl.

Not long after, the man returned and whispered something to Troy. Immediately Troy's expression darkened in shock at what he heard.

'There's no one outside! No movement from the CCTV on the street either!'

Just before Troy wanted to warn the leader. Suddenly gunshots echoed throughout the room.

This time, not just one gunshot sound, but several times. The men immediately shoot back. But they almost attack each other as Scarlett moves unpredictably, jumping and rolling faster than their shot while continuing to fire her Kel-Tec pistol at them. The firing exchange started, and the room turned into hell with the nonstop gunshots, followed by cursing and screaming from some of his comrades.

Troy was confused and had no idea what was going on. He threw himself to the floor and tried to find a place to hide.

After finding a hiding place, his eyes widened in horror to see the girl holding the lifeless body of one of his comrades as a shield. She stood not far from him, in the corner — while several bodies lay motionless on the floor, with blood coming from their stomach, temple, and chest.

The room was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, making the atmosphere even tenser when the gunshots suddenly stopped.

Silent and gripping!

Not wanting to become a corpse, Troy aimed his gun at the girl, but simultaneously, her eyes fell on him. Before he could pull the trigger, the girl shot her pistol at the light.

"The fuck!!" Troy cursed when he couldn't see her.

Instantly the room became dark. Only moonlight came into the room through the open window at the far end, yet it didn't allow Troy to see clearly.

He could only hear movement, and once again, a loud gunshot resounded a few times, and the screams of his comrades could be heard. This time, he felt that the little girl was a demoness toying with their lives.

He felt chills run through his body to realize they had made a mistake by underestimating this girl. Amid his fear, the girl's words suddenly crossed his mind, 'Surrendered!!'

He didn't know why this girl had suddenly appeared at their base and killed them all. Right now, all he needed to do was surrender to make this girl stop killing them.

However, before Troy shouted, he heard his leader say, "Alright! Alright!! I surrender! Please stop!! Please! Don't kill us!!"

Suddenly the gunshots stopped. The room became silent, like the silence in a cemetery!

Scarlett grinned into the darkness.

"You guys are so stupid!! How dare you waste my time here!? If you surrendered earlier, I wouldn't have to kill your comrades." She scolded them out of frustration.

Then, she asked them to throw down their weapons and stand by the dining table with their hands above their heads.

Scarlett could only smile when she saw only two remaining people were alive; her target and the leader.

"B-Beaut... I mean P-Pretty S-Sister... Why did you attack us?" The leader asks. His eyes stared at the girl standing across from them, separated by a table.

"I don't want to attack you guys. All I want to do is to talk to this person!" Scarlett pointed at Troy.

The leader was speechless.

Why didn't she say it earlier? Why did she have to kill his men first?

The leader wanted to kill this little girl but suppressed his anger when he remembered how cruel and powerful this girl was.

"Y-You want to talk to me?" Troy was surprised. "Do I know you?" He felt confused because he had never met this girl before.

"Don't ask! You are in no condition to ask me. Now, you only need to answer me." Scarlett's terrifying gaze seemed sharp enough to freeze these two stupid assassins.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Troy could only nod. For some reason, this demoness made his speech ability disappear.

"Who ordered you to kill someone at the Ocean Group Resort?" Her voice was gentle, but what she said rang like a thunderclap in Troy's ear.

Troy's face turned pale as he realized his mistake; he had brought this girl to their base. And now, she wanted to ask him about that case!

"You know, Mister, my other skill is I can tell when someone is lying. So choose your words wisely, Mister..." Scarlett said and slowly appointed her gun to Troy's head. She smiled before continuing, "I still have bullets to perforate your temple!"

Troy swallowed silently. He had no choice but to tell the truth. He was too terrified to tell a lie.
