Lei Wu's face fell. "What do you mean by saying you could not get it? I told you that it is important!"
"I tried! I really did, but before I could kill him, that man caught me. He also took the knife away, and he nearly killed me. I was so frightened, Ah Wu. I really thought I was going to die today—"
As she spoke, she could not help but burst into tears. However, Lei Wu didn't feel even the slightest bit sorry for her. If anything, he felt annoyed. How could his mother waste such a good opportunity like this? She had the chance to kill an ability user, and she failed!? His expression twisted with fury. "How can you be this useless!?"
Upon hearing his angry voice, she could not help but flinch. Second Madam Lei paused and turned to look at her son in disbelief. "Ah Wu, how can you say that I was useless? I almost died! Don't you feel sorry for me? I was so frightened when that man turned around and almost killed me! You almost lost your mother—"
