After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 948 - 934: False Appearance

Watching Katrina escape from Bi Xia’s grasp, Meng Chi frowned slightly. It seemed he hadn’t seen many who could spar with the boss for so long. Moreover...

Turning his head to Hao Xisheng, who was staring wide-eyed at Bi Xia and Katrina, Meng Chi asked, "Hao Xisheng, let me ask you, if I twisted your arm behind your back and you tried to forcibly escape, there’s a good chance your arm could break. What would you choose?"

Hao Xisheng hesitated, "Like when you tied me down before?"

Thinking back, Meng Chi understood that Hao Xisheng was referring to when he brought him down from upstairs. Meng Chi had restrained his arm to prevent any danger, just like Bi Xia did with Katrina.

He nodded, "Exactly like that."

Hao Xisheng widened his eyes, "Of course I’d give up! It hurts, you know!" As he spoke, Hao Xisheng seemed to recall the pain from before. He gasped and looked at Meng Chi with distressed eyes, "Now you know you wronged a good person."

Meng Chi: ... Doesn’t even want to deal with this person anymore...

In silence, Meng Chi turned his gaze to Katrina, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "So, who exactly is this Katrina..."

She was harsher on herself than anyone he had ever seen.

Looking at that arm moving with difficulty, if the boss hadn’t released his grip in time, that arm might have really been broken.

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow at Katrina, his starry eyes also falling on that arm. He smiled faintly, "Pretty harsh on yourself."

Katrina laughed indifferently, "Well, if I’m not harsh on myself, someone else will be. In the end, I’d rather be harsh on myself."

Oh?

With starry eyes half-closed, Bi Xia suddenly spoke, "Doesn’t anyone care that you’re hurt?"

Katrina was caught off guard by Bi Xia’s question, and she froze. His eyes twinkled as he suddenly grabbed Katrina’s wrist and pulled her into his arms, twisting one hand behind her wrist while the other blocked her retreat.

This position easily controlled Katrina, but in a way, it also felt like an embrace.

Katrina’s face turned red and her eyes widened, "Let go of me!"

Bi Xia smiled wickedly, whispering playfully in her ear, "Only a fool would let go of a beauty in their arms."

With that, Bi Xia chuckled deeply, the low, restrained voice traveling through her ear, flooding Katrina’s mind. Her face turned crimson, and she was slightly flustered, "Bi Xia!"

"Here." Bi Xia’s voice was wickedly playful, "Have something to say?"

"You!"

"Me?"

Facing Bi Xia’s almost shameless response, Katrina was at a loss for words momentarily, "Aren’t you supposed to like men?"

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, I do like men, but..."

He dragged out the tone, enunciating slowly, "Weren’t you the one insisting on wanting to like me first?"

"To be honest, did you fall in love with me at first sight? Hmm?"

"It’s because I saw the blue on you, that blue is beautiful, so I wanted to see what kind of person had such blue!"

His starry eyes turned cold, the voice becoming bland, "What did you say? Blue?!"

Katrina nodded, "That’s right, your blue is pure, beautiful, and very expressive, easily attracting people."

With a somber face, if his guess was correct, Katrina must be referring to his spiritual power. So indeed...

"So what’s the matter with Mr. Yao?"

Katrina fell silent and after a while replied, "I can’t tell you. I have principles to follow too, but I can tell you, Mr. Yao is extremely important to us, and we must bring him back to A country no matter what."

"And if you can’t?"

Facing Bi Xia’s question, Katrina remained silent, making Bi Xia’s heart skip, "...So it’s death, isn’t it?"

Taking a deep breath, "If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Yao is just an antique expert." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Katrina looked deeply at Bi Xia, finally saying, "Mr. Yao is indeed not my grandfather."

"And I am not this appearance either."
