Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 395
“And why should I listen to you?” Delaney asked arching her brows.
Shreya smiled cheekily as she replied, “Because I am being nice and sending you away in one piece after you tried to kill me!! Mind you, I am sending you away because you tried to kill me and not someone else… if it had been someone else around me, you would be rotting in hell by now!” Shreya’s eyes obviously went fierce when she said the last part.
“And you are telling me this because?”
“Because I want you to be smart the next time someone pays you to do something stupid,” Shreya said shrugging her shoulders.
Delaney’s eyes darkened. No person had ever lived to insult her like this and still live…
“Should I be thankful for your education?” Delaney asked gritting her teeth. A fierce murderous intent spread around her. The only person who was unaffected was Shreya and Zack. Her smile didn’t slip as she chuckled amused looking at Delaney.
Delaney’s anger reached its peak suffice to say. Before anyone could react, Delaney crossed the distance between herself and Shreya and pinned Shreya by her neck against the bumper of Shreya’s car.
It took a minute for people around to react but when they came to their senses, it was already too late.
“Mock me one more time, you have no idea what I can do to you right here, right now… your little goons squad won’t be able to save you… period. Not from me?” Her eyes were blood-red with anger.
But Shreya still looked calm and as amused as she was minutes go. Her lips twitched at Delaney’s thread as she asked, “Really? But who is going to save you from the bullet that’s about to shatter your brains out any minute now?”
Delaney stopped on her track as she looked up vigilantly only to find a red dot aims right at her head.
“Did you forget this is my site? I lured you here and you think I am stupid enough to arrange it without proper preparations? You know what your problem is…? you are too prideful and arrogant with your skill and abilities that make your judgments biased at best. Maybe all your past enemies were spineless brainless wimps… but make no mistake, I am not. I am not one of those people who is going to shake at your sight and it is not because I underestimate you but because I am prepared. As I said, I am lazy but not useless… You won’t be able to leave this place in one piece without my permission, I promise you that!” Shreya sneered not really making any move pull herself away from Delaney. Her eyes at last had something other than nonchalance. She looked angry but her anger was ice cold as always.
Delaney matched her moment to the tee. Even she did not back down as she looked into Shreya’s eyes and said, “Who said I want to leave this place? Like I said I neither care for myself or other’s life… so, as long as I can kill you here, I don’t particularly care how I end up!”
After all, it had been long since she had such a rush of adrenaline. There was no one that had the courage and the means to challenge her so blatantly for a long time now… as soon as the word got out that she had come back from the dead, everyone started to be even more scared of her than before.
That was the whole reason why she took Shreya’s ȧssignment in the first place… Shreya was the first person to not look at her with straight steady eyes without fear in them. That reminded her of the rush she craved for a long time…
Delaney moved swiftly when she felt her blood pumping and flipped their positions as she used Shreya as the cover. But the problem was, she had no weapon whatsoever. Zack very thoroughly frisked her before letting her anywhere near Shreya. But then, if she had, it will be too easy… and if she wanted easy, she wouldn’t do something this reckless in the first place.
“I can snap your neck as easily as snapping a twig…” Delaney warned.
Shreya did not even move a finger before a gunshot went off and just about grazed Delaney’s shoulders making her hands around Shreya lose. Shreya quickly got away from her grip.
Shreya just smiled as she stood in front of her with a smile and said, “As I said… this is my location. You cannot do anything to me…”
“God damn it!!” Delaney could help but curse covering up her shoulders. The bullet never aimed to do much damage in the first place but it still burned and hurt like hell.
Delaney took that step in the first place because she was pretty sure there was not going to be anybody behind her since it was just a vast empty space. The side she had covered with Shreya was the one that had all the high rises that were perfect to hide a gunman. But Delaney failed to take into account the darkness of the night all around in spite of all the fled lights being on in the construction site which made it easy to hide a man or two in plain sight.
“Are you going to go in peace now or do you want to make it harder?” Shreya asked looking at Delaney crossing her hands in front of her.
Delaney couldn’t help grit her teeth. She was really cornered. If she had the slightest chance of taking down Shreya, she would have taken it… but she did not have any chance at all. Taking a step forward is like putting her head on to a chopping board voluntarily for Shreya to slaughter her. And she was not stupid to do that…
“I want a fight… with you. Just the two of us… a fair fight! If you win, I will go in peace…” Delaney said looking straight at her.
Shreya never even paused for a second as she said, “Sorry. Not interested. I have a date tomorrow… I go back badgered, I would never hear the end of it!!” Akira most probably would bury her alive with her silent treatment if she hurt herself once again.
“And anyway, it is not like you have much choice here… it was a rhetoric question. So, just go back to T country and forget about everything here,” Shreya said and walked to her car without giving Delaney any more attention and drove off.
Delaney couldn’t help but punch on her own car as she breathed in the smoke exhaust of Shreya’s car.
