Chapter 638

“Are you still expecting someone to come and save you?” mocked the man, looking at Ning Xi like his prey with a sardonic smile .

“The whole of Philadelphia is now under our control, so you’d better give up now . Any hope you have now will just add to your despair later on,” the man told Ning Xi with a smirk on his face .

Since her wish to live was being snuffed out, it was easy for her to seek death .

Tens of guns aimed at Ning Xi and she morbidly imagined the numerous holes which would riddle her body the moment the man gave his signal .

The man was relaxed like a cat that caught the mouse . Ning Xi was an easy prey in his hands, one he would only eat after getting bored of playing with .

“Little girl, rest assured that we won’t kill you soon . We will only torture you to death after we’re done having fun with you . For now, our game has just begun . ”

Ning Xi did not express any fear and acted exceptionally calm, making the man unhappy . He wanted to see Ning Xi beg him for forgiveness .

Suddenly, Ning Xi mustered up her strength and struggled to break free of the man’s grip . She shoved him and then ran away, limping .

Ning Xi’s thigh had been shot, so she ran slower than she wished she could and blood was oozing out of her wound .

Bang!

Another gunshot was fired from behind her, the bullet ricocheting off the ground in front of Ning Xi, creating a powder storm of rocks and sand .

Ning Xi clenched her teeth and powered through as if she was not afraid of death .

The man used his right hand to hold the gun which was still emitting smoke as he said sourly, “Who gave you permission to shoot? There’s no fun playing with a dead mouse . Plus, I have a lot of time today!”

“Boss, I understand . My bad . ” The henchman who fired the shot just now nodded fearfully .

As they watched the woman’s stumbling silhouette get away, the man patiently called after her, “Little girl, run! It’s more fun that way, how exciting! Hahahaha…”

The man’s ear-piercing maniacal cackle haunted Ning Xi, echoing in the air…

…

Sometime later, Ning Xi right leg was becoming numb and she slowed down even more . She turned to look over her shoulder and could not see any of them anymore .

Night soon fell . Stars blanketed the sky and the moon shone brightly .

Ning Xi simply bandaged her leg with a strip of her shirt and she had painstakingly removed the bullet by herself but the pain remained . It was much more bearable now though, compared to before . At least, her leg would still be functional after this .

Ning Xi laughed bitterly at herself . Here she was, still worrying if her leg would be functional when she did not even know if she could get out of Philadelphia alive . She actually knew what was going to happen to her but did not want to admit it .

She already felt in her bones that something bad was going to happen, but this was a hundred times worse than what she expected .

How did her romantic misfortune turn into a death trap?

Only people who gave up on worldly desires had no fear of death, but now, she was afraid . Afraid that she would die .
