Chapter 239 - Clicked Into Place

Fan Luo was harder to break than the Alarm Girls. No matter how hard the remnant-controlled Iris beat her up, she refused to give in.

"Hah! Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a sl*t, Iris Long! Even if you cut off my head, I will NEVER grovel at your feet! Ahahaha!"

"F*ck you, Fan Luo! I’m gonna kill you, you f*cking wh*re!"

"Go ahead and kill me, b*tch! I despise you so much that if you don’t kill me, I’ll f*cking find a way to kill you! I had the perfect man! I had everything! But because of you, I lost it all!"

Fan Luo continued to taunt Iris, even when she was no longer recognizable with all the blood and ugly wounds covering her once fair skin. Unfortunately, the remnant-controlled Iris was easily taunted. She lost her temper and proceeded to beat up Fan Luo harder.

The two cursed and threw insults at each other. Didn’t they know that to those watching them right now, they were like two peas in a pod? Both were cruel, vicious and conceited.

Lu Zihao watched everything in silence without any change in his cold expression. He didn’t give a f*ck for this Iris. She wasn’t his sister. He wouldn’t care even if this woman murdered these four b*tches. His only worry was that doing so would traumatize his sister.

So even if it wasn’t obvious, he was actually monitoring the tortured women’s states, ready to interrupt the moment they were about to die. They could die for all he cared, but they must not die in his sister’s presence.

His sister needed to resolve this issue with her body’s remnant so that she could have a chance to live this second life of hers in peace.

The remnant-controlled Iris and Fan Luo continued their pathetic battle of wills. They were made in the same cloth. Perhaps if the original Iris lived, she might end up becoming someone like Fan Luo. Or perhaps not. Who could know exactly what could’ve been?

Lu Zihao thought it ironic that these two civilian women were so vicious compared to his own little sister who was the one originally born into the number one criminal family in the international Underworld.

Criminals were made, not born. It was one’s own decision to become a criminal, not because one was born to.

Take for example his little sister. Like all of the Vetrovs, she was trained since young to become cold-blooded and to throw away her compassion. However, she resisted, refusing to take the path the Vetrovs arranged for her.

That was why the family had no choice but to shelter her in order to protect her. At the end of the day, she was still a Vetrov and they couldn’t just abandon her to the outside world where she could be targeted by their enemies. Besides, they never stopped hoping that she would one day change her mind and decide to help run the organization. She was a genius and a world-class hacker, after all. It would be a great boost to their power if she joined them. However, it never happened because all of them were annihilated.

Lu Zihao’s eyes turned colder at the memories of his past life, his aura emitting danger. His subordinates sensed his cold fury, instantly becoming alert and cautious around him.

As for the two vicious women, there were no clear winners. Even though Fan Luo was in agony and in extreme pain due to her injuries, she never admitted defeat. Her eyes were still full of challenge, continuing to provoke Iris.

"B*tch!"

Iris couldn’t take it anymore. She gouged Fan Luo’s eyes out and broke her jaw with a bat. Only then was a sense of satisfaction could be seen on her expression.

She turned to the Shadow Winds and ordered them, "Throw the Alarm Girls back to the police. I don’t care about them anymore. As for this b*tch," she spat as she looked at the bloody Fan Luo, kicking her several times. "Tie her up to a car. Destroy the brakes."

The Shadow Winds didn’t respond, looking at Lu Zihao instead.

"What the f*ck are you still waiting for?! Have you forgotten that you are to follow my orders?!" Iris was enraged that her orders were being disregarded.

"Sh*t up," Lu Zihao rebuked her in a cold voice.

She immediately cowered and stepped back, frightened by him.

But still he instructed his subordinates, "Do as she says."

"Yes, boss!"

While they carried out the orders, Iris escaped from the room, afraid of Lu Zihao. It was still the remnant controlling the body.

The other Shadow Winds members avoided her. They already concluded that she had a split personality, and the current personality was the one their leader hated. They followed Lu Zihao’s lead and ignored the remnant-controlled Iris.

Iris’ torture of the Alarm Girls and Fan Luo took almost the entire daytime. Most of them were exhausted and hungry because they stayed up ever since the mission started all throughout the entire torture.

However, the remnant didn’t care about food or rest at the moment. All it cared about was completing its revenge.

The barely alive Wanwan, Feifei and Mimi were packed in a vehicle and dumped back to an area close to a police station far from the Shadow Winds compound. The other hackers had no choice but to lead this part of the mission because it seemed that Miss Xiulan’s other personality who was also the great hacker Drakon wasn’t coming out to take care of this herself.

As for the now blind, mute and cripple Fan Luo, she was strapped inside another car. A Shadow Winds member drove her out of the compound. Iris, Lu Zihao and some of his subordinates followed in additional vehicles.

They drove quite far in a remote rural area. It was a hilly forest. Finally, they all stopped and got out of the vehicles.

The remnant-controlled Iris walked to the other car. The window was down, so she could see Fan Luo who didn’t even look like a human anymore. Surprisingly, she was still conscious and whimpering in pain.

Iris leaned down. "Now, I’ll give you a taste of what you made me go through during that car crash. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Whether you live or die today will depend on your fate. I won’t care about you anymore. Goodbye, Fan Luo. May you rot wherever you end up at."

Then she stepped back and allowed the Shadow Winds to modify the car’s controls.

Moments later, the car sped along the dirt road. Fan Luo was inside by herself.

BOOM!

The car crashed against a rocky cliffside.

A smile lifted Iris’ lips, her eyes glinting in satisfaction. Then her expression changed. Tears began to roll down her face. Her knees buckled but Lu Zihao caught her before she fell to the ground.

"Big brother..." Iris buried her face against his chest.

"I’m here. You’re alright now. It’s not you who did all these things," he told her, rubbing his hand on her back, soothing her. "Don’t cry. They’re not worth your tears."

Iris cried hard, her whole body shaking. She felt tainted by all the experience, especially since she retained all the memories during the torture.

Despite this, there was a sense of relief within her. It felt as if a great load was lifted from her shoulders. She had no idea whether the remnant was still in her body or not. She couldn’t sense it anymore, but that didn’t mean that it was completely gone.

Nevertheless, it was as if something clicked into place inside her, like a puzzle piece finally fitting in. She felt it. The body was now starting to accept her more fully.

Now that this revenge was finally over, exhaustion started catching up to her.

"Big Brother, I feel—"

She fainted before she could even finish what she was going to say.
