Chapter 599: I Promised
Xia Liu's face could not be seen, but Rose could hear the seriousness in his words.
He was not joking at all!
Rose trembled with happiness, which came too suddenly.
For some reason, she was somewhat panicked.
To be with her idol was such an exhilarating and joyful thought.
But when the day actually arrived, she found herself unable to accept it, even feeling somewhat incapable of accepting it.
"Weiwei, why the long face? This is the Great God Red Dragon Shadow confessing his love!" Seeing Rose without any response, Yanzi was almost frantic.
The king of the Underground World confessed to you, and here you are, not only doubting it but also afraid to respond.
Could it be you want to reject your idol's confession?
If so, that would definitely become a hot topic in the Underground World.
"I'm embarrassed," Rose said quietly, her voice low by Yanzi's ear.
"Oh come on! There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're so beautiful, you would definitely have many admirers. So, my sister, you can do it!" Yanzi consoled.
"I can't, I'm afraid," Rose said, adamant about not facing it.
"Great God Red Dragon Shadow, is everything you said true?" Seeing Rose dragging her feet, Yanzi mustered the courage to ask on her behalf.
"Of course, Rose is destined to be my woman," Xia Liu declared strongly.
"Well then, whatever you say. But remember, you promised to take us to kill Lance, and then Weiwei would accept your confession."
"Yanzi, when did I say..."
"Weiwei, don't speak. Have a little confidence, I'm speaking for you."
Yanzi wasn't afraid that Red Dragon Shadow would hear her and Rose's conversation since they were speaking in Huaxia.
Red Dragon Shadow couldn't possibly speak Huaxia; otherwise, he would have revealed his identity as a Huaxia person upon hearing their conversation.
"Yes, I did promise to lead you on an assassination of Lance," Xia Liu nodded and said.
"Hehe, then here I wish us success, and soon I'll be able to celebrate at your and Weiwei's wedding."
"Of course! Weiwei, our wedding won't be complete without you," Xia Liu said with a light laugh.
"Ah, Yanzi, is this really okay?" Rose's cheeks were already burning hot.
Her best friend was discussing her own wedding with her idol, an extremely odd feeling.
It involuntarily made her shy.
"Weiwei, your face is red, clearly you want it but are too shy to say it. Once you and the god are together, you can't forget about me."
"Yanzi, aren't you afraid the god will punish you for talking like this?"
"Afraid? He didn't understand what we were saying. Besides, I wasn't speaking ill of him. It's you who will soon be his lovely wife, just imagining it feels very blissful."
"I don't want to deal with you anymore, I'm going to sleep!"
Saying this, Rose couldn't face Xia Liu and headed straight out the door.
"Hehe, Great God Red Dragon Shadow, don't mind it, your bride is just shy."
"No worries, she's always like this..."
"Uh uh uh... what?"
"Yanzi, rest early, and tomorrow let's finalize the assassination plan." Without further explanation, Xia Liu cheerfully changed the subject.
"Alright, I'll take you to your room now."
Although confused, Yanzi didn't dwell on it for long.
She was eager for tomorrow to come quickly.
That way, she could accompany Xia Liu on the mission to assassinate Lance, to avenge many and create a future for even more.
The next morning, Rose's shyness had noticeably decreased.
However, since Xia Liu's confession, she no longer dared to look him directly in the eye.
Being around Xia Liu made her feel extremely awkward.
It must be because she had not yet adjusted to idolizing such a figure.
After all, she had never expected Red Dragon Shadow to be such an idolized figure.
Yanzi, on the other hand, hadn't changed much, but it's worth mentioning that her conversations with Xia Liu had increased, as Rose dared not speak up, so her best friend spoke on her behalf.
Under the watchful eyes of Hetti, Zhu Li, and two other preschool teachers, the SUV slowly left the suburbs heading towards the city.
The children were unaware of Yanzi and Rose's departure.
They still fantasized that when they grew up, they would be able to protect Sister Rose and Sister Yanzi.
...
After entering the city, Xia Liu did not stop but followed the navigation towards New City.
Lance was a heavyweight figure, and his whereabouts were not something that ordinary people could track down.
And even if one did manage to find him urgently, it would be useless, as he was not someone simply idle.
With money and power, he spent his days enjoying himself in the mountains and by the sea, surrounded by a bevy of long-legged beauties.
To get information on this overlord, they had to go to Tina.
Tina could be said to be Xia Liu's second most important intelligence contact in America.
With the "glasses" gone, Tina was the ace.
Speaking of which, Xia Liu's association with Tina began in Italy.
At the time, Tina was being chased by a group of men in black, and just as Xia Liu, who had just returned from Secret Island with some cultivation, encountered this situation, he saw Tina, such a beautiful girl.
He didn't consider any other issues, directly eliminating the group of men in black.
It also brought some trouble afterward.
But it was worth it, for once Tina came to America, she thrived exceptionally well.
Even Xia Liu had not anticipated that a casual act of his would evolve into a major asset today.
When they arrived in New City, it was already afternoon.
Having been notified in advance, Xia Liu, Rose, and Yanzi were welcomed by Tina, who had already prepared a table full of dishes when they entered the café.
"Miss Rose, Miss Yanzi, hello, my name is Tina, and I'm in charge here," Tina greeted them warmly as they entered.
Since Xia Liu had informed her about Rose, Tina was very docile and tactfully managed the current relationships.
"Hello, Sister Tina," Rose and Yanzi responded in unison.
During the journey, Xia Liu had shared some news about Tina, so they both more or less knew each other even before they met.
"Giggle, you must be starving, I've prepared lunch..."
Staring at the table full of Huaxian cuisine, Rose and Yanzi were both surprised, "Is this Huaxia's Sichuan cuisine, made by Sister Tina?"
"Yes, because my dream lover is from Huaxia, I learned to cook Huaxia cuisine for him," she replied.
"Wow… Sister Tina is truly a good wife, your future husband is very lucky indeed."
"Ahem, Tina, could you get me some wine?" Just as the three women were about to start chatting, Xia Liu coughed twice to interject.
"Sure, I'll get it for you now." Tina understood what Xia Liu meant, but she was unreconciled, desiring to win him over with her efforts!
After the meal, Xia Liu took the three women to the third floor, and the assassination operation officially began.
