"You love him, you certainly care!" Mu Liang let out a cold laugh, showing no avoidance of such forbidden love, "You want my life, and I hope you keep your promise, sparing her and her son's life, and yours as well."
Nikola laughed loudly, filled with self-derision and sarcasm, "You think after I kill you, I can get away unscathed? Mu Liang, I've long been prepared to perish together with you. As for Qiao Xia... sending the three of you to hell to reunite, isn't that exactly what you want?"
"Nikola!" Mu Liang suddenly burst out angrily, "A man's issues should not trouble a woman, it's too unsightly."
"I could let her go." Nikola's gun barrel grazed across Qiao Xia's cheek, his smile deep, "Actually, I quite like Miss Qiao Xia. If not for her being your woman, I would have genuinely considered taking her as my wife. You want me to let her go, it's simple."
"Kneel down!"
...
Qiao Xia felt as though she was hearing an illusion—was Nikola asking Mu Liang to kneel?
Why?
