Ning Chen looked at Kang Baobao. "Ye Xingjue was smart. He told me everything that happened between us, all so he could go quick."

Kang Baobao said nothing. After a while she gave a cold laugh. "Ning Chen, from the moment I fell into your hands, I knew how this would end.

I know too that whether Ye Xingjue talked or not, you'd never let him live.

If word got out that the Great Xuan's Second Prince was still alive, the whole Great Xuan court would be shaken."

Kang Baobao paused, then went on. "Ning Chen, do it... The winner is a king and the loser is a bandit. I accept that. Whatever's between us should end here."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes at her and let out a single word. "Fine!"

Fear showed in Kang Baobao's eyes. She hadn't expected him to agree so readily. Didn't he have any questions to ask?

Shing!!!

Broken Dream cleared its sheath.

Kang Baobao saw only a streak of cold light flash before her eyes. Then her throat stung, and warm blood gushed from the wound there.

She stared hard at Ning Chen and opened her mouth to say something, but the moment she did, crimson blood poured out instead.

Ning Chen's face showed nothing. As far as he was concerned, only with Kang Baobao dead could he truly rest easy.

He had never taken Kang Baobao or Ye Xingjue seriously, but people like that were too dangerous to leave alive.

He said quietly, "Rest in peace. Whatever happened between us before, after today it's all wiped clean!"

Kang Baobao's eyes were practically burning out of her head. In my last life you killed my wife and son and wrecked my business... In this one you take my life, and then you just breezily say it's all wiped clean? Isn't that a bit much?

Kang Baobao stubbornly refused to die. The corner of Ning Chen's mouth curled as he looked at her. "Don't look at me like that. Drugs, human trafficking, organ trafficking... Someone like you deserves to die a hundred times over.
