Chapter 40

For the first time in Sana's life, she felt that the antidote was way more important than the poison. Her poison which was three times more toxic than usual. She felt like dying the moment it entered her body.

This was someone who had been used to having a strong body, so after her body was suddenly afflicted with paralysis, all the strength in her body dissipated while the medicine she took was like a cup of water thrown at a huge fire.

"You've learnt our ninja arts?" Sana strenuously asked, almost in a groaning manner.

Lisa was engrossed in admiring the kunoichi's well-developed body, because she was weak and limp all over, all of her taut muscles relaxed themselves which caused the ample female body of hers to possess a drunk look.

After hearing Sana's question, she shook her head and said, "Your ninja arts are all secretly inherited from different sects. Although I have my ways to secretly learn them, I have no interest in doing so."

"Then why are you able to see through my ninja arts......" Sana asked, feeling unresigned.

Lisa couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss Sana, there's an ancient saying in Huaxia, 'In all martial arts under the heavens, there's no strength that can't be matched, there's only speed that can't be matched'. Your samurais of ancient Japan acquired their martial arts from Huaxia, leading to the development your own Japanese martial arts and ninja arts, then became immeasurably complacent, and self-proclaimed to have surpassed all others. The fact is this isn't the case, the martial arts you guys have still can't escape the range of that sentence."

"In this world, the truly powerful people can only compare in two things; speed, and strength; techniques, those are all transient."

Sana began to think, she seemed to understand some of it. When she looked at Lisa again, she carried a hint of respect for her, "Your Majesty Pluto, you're a powerful person worth respecting, it's a pity that you have to stand on opposite sides from our Yamata Sect."

"No no." Lisa vetoed and said, "It's not I who wants to go against you guys, it's you guys who came to bring me trouble. I've said this before, I came back to this piece of land for retirement. Even the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade has let me off, what's your Yamata Sect causing a ruckus for?"

Sana unflinchingly retorted, "Please believe me, Your Majesty Pluto, with your wisdom, there's no way that's what you think, please don't lie to yourself. The reason why the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade hadn't made a move against you is because they haven't found the right chance. There's no organization or country which would tolerate the God's Stone falling into the hands of others.... even if it's you. They would dare provoke the prestige of a God, and it's just a matter of time before they make their move."

Lisa forced a smile and said, "From the way you put it, it's like you're tearing apart my false happiness, forcing a headache upon me..."

"By that you mean that you admit to the fact that the God's Stone is your hands!?" Sana spotted a gap and stuck in a needle as she asked.

Lisa shook her head, "How should I put it, what I mean is, they are all like you guys, mistakenly assuming that I have this God's Stone thing, I honestly don't have it."

"But..."

"Enough!"

Lisa yelled, "Miss Sana, you're already poisoned, what are you saying so much for? Although I know that the poison inside you would be cured slowly by the antidote you took, but before that happens, I still need you to trade for my boss.."

Sana revealed helplessness, the plan had failed again, making her feel like a failure. In the eyes of this young genius ninja, this woman was like a wall which she couldn't see the peak of. No matter how, there was no way to go over this wall, even if she forcibly smashed into it, it would be the same as smashing into an immeasurably hard steel plate.

Seeing Sana remain silent, Lisa said, "What? Do I have to personally find your two comrades?"

Sana was shocked, and suddenly raised her head, "You know it's two people?"

"Looks like you didn't hear what I said earlier carefully, Hitomi's stealth skills are indeed very powerful, but like I said earlier, I can't find her in a short moment, but some time has already passed. Furthermore, when you were wounded by me earlier, one of them exposed their aura..." Said Lisa with a nefarious smile.

Sana opened her red lips, yet couldn't speak a word. This woman's strength is truly ridiculous!

"Is this the power of the Gods?" Sana asked in a manner like she was muttering to herself.

Lisa put both hands on her waist, then looked at the surroundings like she was looking for a friend, "I'm not so sure about that, I don't really meet them much after all."

Sana nodded. Seemingly recovered a little strength, she raised her hand and made a weird hand gesture, similar to an ancient seal release.

At practically the same time, two figures who wore black ninja clothing appeared from thin air, and stood behind Lisa.

Lisa turned around, and sized up the two with a smile. One of them was exceptionally well-built, with a look like a fierce tiger in her eyes, there were even several knife scars at the corners of her eyes. The other had a much skinnier figure, but the lines of her taut muscles was enough to judge that she definitely possessed great explosive strength. Perhaps it's because of a certain ninja art, but despite standing under the sunlight, she seemed to emanate a black fog all over her body.

"Hitomi, Giselle?"

The skinny Hitomi cruelly laughed, and spoke in Mandarin with a strong Japanese accent, "As expected of Pluto who stands at the top of the pyramid, the pride of our assassination world. From the official start of my career, you're the first person who could see through my tracks."

Lisa modestly smiled, "You're too polite. However, your Mandarin is really lacking in comparison with Miss Sana."

"That's because I only need to kill, and don't need to talk." A sinister light flashed in Hitomi's eyes, "Please provide us guidance, how did Your Majesty Pluto notice us?"

"Actually, if it weren't for this friend beside you suddenly releasing her killing intent, I would really have a difficult time looking for you." Lisa honestly said.

"Giselle, you ruined the plan, how disappointing." Hitomi unhappily said.

The tall Giselle coldly swept Hitomi a glance, "You're trash, don't look for excuses."

"What did you say!?" Hitomi's voice went up an octave.

"I said you're trash!"

"Enough!!!" Sana who was lying on the ground hatefully scolded, "What are you guys arguing about!? You're both trash!"

This time, both of them stopped speaking, and disappeared from where they were. When they appeared again, they were by Sana's side. Giselle propped Sana up, with an arm around her waist.

Sana frowned, she glanced at Giselle, then said to Lisa, "Your Majesty Pluto, we won't give up. We lost today, but next time we won't give you the chance to exchange hostages."

"Aren't you guys making your move?" Lisa curiously asked.

"Hehe, to make a move after losing the best opportunity is one of the biggest taboos for ninjas, not to mention that we are completely uncertain of victory." Hitomi spoke with a duck-like voice, "If Your Majesty Pluto wants to see your beautiful superior safe, please keep a distance of two hundred meters from us."

Lisa rubbed her nose, and said, "Actually a hundred meters is enough, you guys need not be so nervous, I do admire you ninjas' shunpo quite a bit, it's indeed quick."

"It's a deal."

Once they said that, the two carried the immobilized Sana with them, and vanished on the spot.

Lisa looked towards the rooftop, softly chanting, "Hundred, hundred-fifty, two hundred..."

Once she counted two hundred, a thin voice sounded in Lisa's ears. Only then did Lisa relax her taut muscles, and reveal a slight smile.

She didn't chase, not because she couldn't chase them, it was only a matter of time before she caught up to them, but unless there was no other choice, Lisa didn't plan to completely become hostile. After all, the opposite party didn't really get anything out of her, moreover, there were other things she had to deal with.

She turned around to leave the third floor of the car park. Lisa planned to go to the second floor to look for Jennie's red Audi, because Hitomi told her that this pitiful woman was now lying down inside her car without a single piece of clothing.

......

At the same time, Sana and co who had leaped behind the advertisement signboard on a tall building stopped.

Sana recovered some strength, and glared at Giselle who held onto her waist without letting go. She spoke in Japanese, "Let go."

Giselle's expression turned wooden, and exerted more strength into the arm she used to hold Sana's soft waist with, and even moved her hand towards Sana's outstanding butt, and grabbed hold of Sana's soft flesh.

With a wretched look, Hitomi watched from a side in silence.

"Giselle, when I recover, I will make you feel like you'd want to die rather than live." Sana angrily flushed.

"Why? Sana, why aren't you willing to be mine?" Giselle became agitated, but her tone remained low.

Sana coldly said, "On what basis do I have to be yours?"

"I'm the group's strongest woman, you can only belong to me!" Giselle resolutely said.

"Hmph, don't forget, there's still the chief." Sana weakly sneered, looking as bewitching as before.

An ominous glint appeared in Giselle's eyes, "The chief is already old, the women he looks for are basically there to dance for him and drink with him. The chief has already lost the pride and honor of a man! If I were him, I would have retired and gotten lost a long time ago!"

"Shut up!" Sana's body slightly trembled, "You're not allowed to insult my father!"

"He's just your godfather, and he's yours, not mine..." Giselle pulled down her mask, her face that looked like it was sculpted with a knife thwarted a little, "Sana, you should wake up, he has never thought of you as his daughter. In his eyes, you're just a female beast he's rearing! He deserves death, he's greedy for your beauty, and wants to dominate his goddaughter, that rotten old fogey wants to own you! Yet he simply doesn't have that capability, hmph! He deserves it!"

Sana mustered up all of her strength and gave Giselle a slap.

"I said, you're not allowed to insult my father." Sana became misty-eyed, as she staunchly said.

Giselle covered her face which was hit, her chest heaved, and followed up with a loud laughter, "Hahahaha! You hit me! Sana, you dare hit me!!?"

"You asked for it." Sana coldly glared at her.

"You will regret it. Once I push that old fogey off his post, and become the next chief, I will have you be my slave! You'll be naked everyday following my every order!" Giselle licked her lips in a crazed manner.

Sana looked at this crazy woman with disdain, and ridiculed, "Wait till the day you can do that before speaking."

"I will, as long as I obtain the God's Stone from the fellow, I can also become a God! When that happens, an aged Jonin would be nothing to worry about!" Giselle said with firm belief.

A fierce light flashed in Hannya's eyes, "You're not allowed to act recklessly, you're very clear as to how strong Pluto is!"

"You have no qualifications to order me, I will let you understand that I'm stronger than that old fogey, stronger by a hundred folds!!!"

In the corner, Hitomi who maintained her silence as ahe watched revealed a strangely demonic smile.

When Lisa arrived at the deepest parking lot on the second floor, Jennie's red Audi A4 was there as expected, but the car was locked. As the car's windows were tinted, one couldn't see the interior.

When Lisa walked over, and knocked on the car door, there wasn't the sound of any activity inside.

Revealing a profound smile, Lisa pretended to turn around and leave.

"Lisa!"

The back door of the car immediately opened a tiny crack, Jennie's beautiful and rosy cheek stuck out a little as she nervously shouted Lisa's name.

Lisa pretended to be shocked as she turned around, "Yo, Ms. Kim, you're really inside huh. I was wondering why you haven't come to work this morning. So you were hiding in your car, are you playing hide and seek?"

"Hide your ass!" Jennie was going mad from anxiousness, without the demeanor of a virtuous woman, she couldn't help but shout, "What the hell is going on! Why have I become like this for no reason?!"

"Become like what?" Lisa smiled mischievously as she asked.

Jennie's pretty face blushed, she stammered, "That is... why have my... my... my clothes all disappeared?"

Jennie felt like she was living in a nightmare, she was originally in a good mood today, because of Lisa's suggestion, she was able to resolve a bunch of problems at home. However, right when she arrived at the company and was about to get off the car, she suddenly felt dizzy, then her vision darkened, and she didn't know what happened afterwards.

When she woke up again, she realized that she was lying on the back seat of her car naked, even her black pantyhose had all been stripped off! Not a single piece was left!

God damn it! I'm not a female MC of a horror film, what's this!?

Such a strange phenomenon doesn't even happen in movies!

Lisa didn't continue joking with her, it seemed like her pretty lady superior had a great mental endurance, and didn't break down in this situation. Therefore she calmly said, "If you want to know the cause of all this, I can tell you, but this matter is rather bizarre, so it's up to you to believe it."

"Say it first." Jennie had rarely seen Lisa being serious. Although she didn't have any clothes on and felt awkward hiding in the car, she still stabilized her state of mind to look at Lisa through the crack of the door.

Lisa sort out her thoughts, then began to slowly narrate what happened this morning.

The gist of the story was, there were a bunch of evil people who wanted to steal something valuable from Lisa, but Lisa didn't actually have this item, so she couldn't give it to them. Therefore, they thought of using the people close to Lisa as a bargaining chip to force her to pass it to them. However, they never expected that they weren't able to defeat Lisa in the end, so their scheme failed.

As for the matter regarding Mr. Kim at the company's entrance, it was harder to explain, so Lisa could only explain that, before those evil people decided to use Jennie, they had already investigated Jennie's background.

After knocking Jennie out, one of them who was an expert at disguise, to the point of being able to completely change her face, pretended to be Jennie.

She even imitated her perfectly, then used their chess piece Mr. Kim to bring Jennie and Lisa trouble. They didn't just affect Jennie's image, they even made Lisa appear to be Jennie's lover. But the matter didn't turn out too bad, because Lisa quickly dragged the woman away, the only problem was that the gossips would probably circulate for quite a while.

After hearing all that, Jennie remained silent for a good while, then raised her head with uncertainty and said, "That thing is actually in your hands, isn't it?"

Lisa was stunned, "What thing?"

"The thing that they are trying to steal, it's actually in your hands. You lied to them, right?"

Lisa promptly shook her head, "How can that be, I really don't have it."

Jennie gave her a queer look, then asked again, "Fine then, let's say for example that you had it, and wasn't able to defeat them today, would you use trade that thing in exchange for my life?"

This sudden question caught Lisa off-guard, she felt her heart shake despite her great mental strength.

Would I? Would I Use the God's Stone to trade for this woman's life?

"This...... I feel that I have no need to answer, they're no match for me." Lisa equivocated.

"What I'm asking is what if you can't defeat them. I want you to answer me now, right now!" Jennie stubbornly asked, the flush on her face gradually receded, there was a nervous and fidgety look in her eyes, but there was even more anticipation.

Lisa silently stared at her, a totally different image appeared in her mind.

During the recruitment process, that graceful figure with that confident smile. When sending me to the hoodlum company, that crafty and tyrannical look. Her cute face of shock when she received the check I brought back. When accompanying Jieun by her bedside, that gentle and simple rear view. When she kidnapped by Byung-hun, how she strongly resisted and cursed.

At the roadside stall, the woman poured and drank the strong alcohol herself, telling me the stories of her past...... At the construction site, the woman's depressed and helpless tears, and her tenacity to hold on to her bag when her inhumane stepfather tugged on it......

Some time ago, this woman suddenly hugged me, and even gave me a moist and trembling kiss. The kiss contained that sweet taste of alcohol that seemed to still linger in my mouth.

These scenes became a short yet unforgettable movie, constantly surfacing in Lisa's mind.

Seeing Lisa deep in thought, a depressed emotion showed in Jennie's eyes, and she lowered her gaze.

"Forget it, if you don't need to answer..."

"I would!"

Lisa suddenly revealed a bright smile and raised her head, with clear eyes she looked at Jennie, "I would trade it if I really had that thing. However, I believe that day would never come, for they're really no match for me."

Jennie felt her heart pounding, she could hear it rapidly thumping from her ears. Her face blushed all the way back to her ears, and her eyes began to glisten with tears.

The car door was quickly shut, Jennie shrunk back in again.

Lisa's expression turned wooden. She was wondering what happened, so she immediately knocked on the car door, "Miss Kim, what are you doing? You're not a tortoise, what are you shrinking inside for?"

"You're the tortoise!" Jennie angrily opened the door again, she resentfully pouted, her eyes were red like she had just rubbed away tears.

Lisa's eyes immediately stared straight at Jennie, it turned out that this time the crack between the door was too big, allowing Lisa to see Jennie's supple and well-developed body in the back seat.

Although the lighting in the car was very poor, her exquisitely smooth and snow-white skin could still be seen. Her two large buns of flesh swayed like ripe fruits. Below the alluring tight waist was her round plump buttocks and her beautiful legs. Since Jennie bent her body from her sitting position, her whole figure seemed especially exquisite and attractive.

This woman's figure isn't inferior to Rose's in any way. Lisa secretly thought.

Jennie realized that the situation wasn't right. She cried out in alarm, closed the door again, and yelled from inside the car, "Lisa, quickly find me clothes! You sex maniac!! Lecherous pervert!!"

Lisa quivered all over. This woman's temper was still as explosive as ever, but so cute, it's not like she'll get pregnant just from being looked at.

Shaking her head and releasing a bitter sigh, Lisa hesitated over where she should go to get Jennie some clothes. She wasn't just buying a piece or two, even her underwear had been stripped away, this would be her first time buying underwear for a woman.

Right at this time, Jennie opened the rear car door by a crack again, squeezing the Audi car key through it and dropping it onto the ground.

"Open the car's boot, there's a black Abercrombie and Fitch bag, inside the bag contains clothes that I can change into. Go take them out and pass them to me." Jennie grouchily said.

As if she had received amnesty, Lisa quickly ran to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Sure enough, there were a large bunch of clothes inside. This makes sense, after all, in such a high-level working environment, how could she not prepare some clothes to change into?

After she placed the bag beside the car door, Jennie said, "Turn around and walk further away, I want to take the bag."

Lisa obediently moved a distance away, she then heard the sounds of Jennie taking the bag in.

Once she thought about the beauty's splendid figure in the car being less than six meters away from her, Lisa reflected on how she was indeed an innocent and kind youngster, she managed to endure this!

After approximately ten minutes, Jennie was finally done putting on her clothes, she opened the car door and walked out.

She wore a gray suit, and inside she wore a white flowery blouse with a creased design. Her hair was tied up, as she once again became the capable, confident and charming Department Head.

The way Jennie looked at Lisa was a little strange, though she didn't seek to dodge eye contact. The many years of working experience gave this woman an unimaginable level of psychological control over herself. Despite having been seen naked by Lisa a while ago, she was still able to maintain a good mood, and say "Thank you" to Lisa.

Lisa didn't dare accept this thanks, if it wasn't because of her, she wouldn't have experienced something like that, so she could only awkwardly shake her head, "No need for thanks, I'll thank the heavens as long as you don't hate me."

Jennie glared at her, then asked, "Earlier, you said that Mr. Kim came to the company to cause trouble, where is he now?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in the hospital by now, what's up? The matter between you and him hasn't been settled?"

A look of determination showed in Jennie's eyes, "Following your suggestion, I lied to my mother saying that he wanted to divorce her. Sure enough, she didn't get angry, she didn't mind it at all. So I was able to confirm that Mom didn't actually love him at all."

"Then have you gotten him to sign the divorce agreement?"

"I have the evidence you gave to me at the construction site previously, if he doesn't want to sign it, he'd go to jail, he has no other choice." Jennie sneered, "Although he came here to make a ruckus today because he was incited by the bad people you mentioned, he brought me trouble as well, but that's also fine. This way, I can totally give up on him. Today I will go to the hospital to tell him, if he tries to make anymore trouble, I will see him in court."

"This method is pretty good."

As expected of a successful career woman, she does things swiftly and decisively. Lisa rubbed her chin in thought, then asked, "Then what about the other matter? You've now become a mistress, we're now lovers, this wouldn't be good for your reputation, right?"

Jennie blushed, and said with a thin voice, "It's alright..."

"What's alright? This isn't even true, I wouldn't care if they just judge me, but, they will surely insult you too." Lisa seriously said.

Jennie pursed her lips, "Earlier, you said you 'would', so I don't mind."

Lisa couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying. What did she mean by 'would', so she doesn't mind?

It seemed like Jennie didn't want to explain herself, she had already walked towards the exit of the car park. But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Lisa, "Lisa, once my mother has completely cut off all relationship with Mr. Kim, I would find some time to move her to Zhonghai to live, so that it'll be convenient to take care of her. When that happens, I want you to go to my hometown with me, that's an order!"

There was a coquettish tone as she spoke. Once she said her piece, the woman gracefully turned back and walked off in quick steps.

Lisa stood alone where she was, fiercely grabbing her own hair. She suddenly thought of one matter...

A few years ago, a famous presenter in the US interviewed one of the most intelligent scientists in the world, Stephen Hawking. He asked Hawking, 'what in this world does an intellectual figure like yourself find impossible to understand?'

Hawking who sat on the wheelchair with his head slanted answered without any hesitation. "Women!"
