His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 241 - KILL ORDER

"Are you able to accept the mundane life in Supreme City?" Kaito inquired curiously.

Hu Lei smiled. "I like it. You know that I never wanted to be part of the dark world anyway."

"It was hard to tell honestly." Kaito laughed.

He was not being sarcastic. When Hu Lei had joined their school, she had a very gloomy temperament. After all, she had been in captivity for more than a year in that research lab and even killed someone. Then, she had been abandoned by her mother. Moreover, she had been taken away from everything familiar.

Unfortunately, no one knew all these things about her in the training school. All they knew is that a new child without scars and in nice clothes had joined them to train in the mountains. Moreover, she had been dropped off by her father who was a great doctor that all their teachers respected.

It should be known that most of the children who were trained there were decrepit orphans who had been abandoned mercilessly and taken in by the teachers. Once they were trained and succeeded, they would owe a debt to the school which would be repaid over time.

The system was reliable and helped a lot of children, even though their education focussed on fighting, assassination and espionage. It had ensured that a lot of the children could move on from their fate of dying young and never making it in life.

All children bonded on the misery of their experiences and their dreams of power and vengeance.

When Hu Lei joined, it had seemed like she was mocking them. She had everything, and she didn't need to be in such a place. It was as if she was making a mockery of their lives and their struggles.

So, when her father had left her on the mountains with them, they had ganged up on her.

In a normal school, she would have experienced general bullying. However, for little ninjas, their bullying could be deadly. There were numerous attempts to kill her, and Kaito had participated with enthusiasm because he had hated arrogant people like Hu Lei.

However, they had underestimated her.

When they poisoned her food, she was able to detect it immediately, and she had even turned the tables on quite a number of them, and poisoned them instead. She also seemed to have eyes at the back of her head and could avoid sneak attacks immediately.

Their attempt at physical fighting had been the most promising because she was not trained. However, what she lacked in training, she made up for it in brute force and fierceness. Also, she always had a deadly look in her eyes when fighting which had made them afraid.

Ultimately, they had been conquered, and she had become the queen.

Kaito smiled at the nostalgic memories.

"I lived for my father when he was alive. I did everything to protect him and ensure that he achieved his dreams. Now that he is gone, I do not have to struggle anymore. I can just live a lazy life I always wanted." Hu Lei said. "I have a husband who loves me, and I found out that I have a little brother. I think my life I pretty good."

Kaito felt a little jealous of the peace that the once deadly woman had. He wondered if he should consider retiring too. It was not like he needed more money.

"What about the people who are trying to capture you?" He asked.

He naturally knew about all the mercenaries who were hunting for her. It was the reason he had come to the country looking for Hu Lei.

"I will naturally deal with them." Hu Lei's eyes looked cold and piercing, reminding her of that scary girl that they had all feared.

Kaito felt a little chilled.

"And then I will have a big wedding. I hope that you will attend, senior brother." The young woman smiled like a flower as if she was not the same person who had looked threatening just a few seconds before.

For some reason, this new expression scared him even more.

"It is good that you are aware of the threat." He laughed hollowly.

Hu Lei smiled wider. "Of course, I am aware." She paused. "Now that you are here, I will not need to strain my brain and resources dealing with these evil people."

Kaito stepped back. "What, what do you mean?"

"Well, you do owe me a lot of favours. It would be foolish of me not to cash in one now that you have delivered yourself to my doorstep. Don't you think?"

The bright innocent-looking face seemed to be scarier than a horror movie.

He wondered why he had volunteered to come when he and his former classmates had been discussing how to help out Hu Lei. They were worried that she could not handle it because she had probably not been in touch with them through their usual channels for a while.

He had thought that they would have a grand time reliving their childhood days, playing Naruto-type games. Who would have known that he had been sacrificing himself to a demon?

Still, he was happy to know that she did not treat him like an outsider. It seemed like she still valued their ties from childhood.

"What do you want me to do?" He asked in mock resignation.

She felt satisfied with this senior brother.

"I will let you know when I come up with a solid plan. Meanwhile, tell me everything that you know about the organisation that is hunting me."

Kaito frowned. "Actually, I have not managed to find out much about them. That group is buried in layers of shell companies. I can't find the actual organisation. But it is a group with a huge international reach. They have made requests from mercenaries on every continent."

"I wanted to officially take on the task of capturing you to discourage others, but I thought it would have looked suspicious because it is outwardly a very normal-looking mission which would not interest my famous brotherhood. I decided to come to Supreme City in a low-key but obvious way so that people will assume that I might be interested in the task."

He looked at Hu Lei as if he was waiting for praise, but the woman was simply disappointed that she could not get anything useful from him.

"I already know all that. What else do you know?" She looked at him keenly.

Kaito felt that Hu Lei was too hard to please. Luckily, he knew something else.

"There is a kill order on your husband. It was sent out a while ago through the old methods. It seems that someone is afraid of his hacking skills. I think it's because he is the main obstacle standing between you and that organisation. What do you think?"

Hu Lei was no longer listening. Her eyes had become fierce and scary. She had always been afraid that her past life would affect Zhong Feng, and now, her greatest fear had become reality.

Kaito realised that he probably should have delivered that piece of news a little more gently. He felt a little regretful.

"Don't worry too much. I followed him for a couple of days before coming here, and he has a lot of strong protectors. He has not been hurt at all in spite of all the attempts on his life." He gave Hu Lei a thumbs up.

Hu Lei turned, scaled the wall and jumped back onto the Huo property.

Kaito felt that his junior sister was annoyed at him, but he could not figure out why.
