The Devil's Secretary

Chapter 329: Explosion

Si Yena’s face changed as her eyes revealed a hint of madness, ’’These people are all the suicide fighters of Kingsleys whose authority I had taken from your father. They don’t fear death. As for me... Do you think I am afraid of death? I am not."

"I have committed patricide, matricide, arson and countless murders. I have been abused, neglected, abandoned, betrayed, raped and hollowed out from inside again and again. At this point in my life, do you think I am afraid of death? Do you think I care about this life which has given me nothing but endless sufferings?"

Si Yena smiled, looking at the man’s silent stance, ’’Don’t have anything else to say? Then, let me continue. The sole purpose of my existence to this day has been to exact my revenge. One by one, I have eradicated each and every person who had a hand in destroying me. And you... happen to be my last. So what if I perish here with you? I have nothing else to lose. But you...’’

Si Yena laughed, ’’Someone who finally broke free of the shackles of his father and the Kingsley family and dreamt of life with his beloved is going down with me. A life full of longings and a death full of regrets. Unlike me, you have a lot to lose and you will be losing it all. Doesn’t that complete my revenge?"

’’Didn’t Daisy abandon you after all?" Si Yena wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, ’’Yes, the child is important but so what? You risked your life to save her and her child. You pushed yourself to death to let them have one chance of survival but she left without looking back. Isn’t that karma? Didn’t I beg you to let him go back then? Weren’t you ruthless in killing him?"

Ryle sighed, ’’I killed your bodyguard, not out of personal grudges. He had betrayed the organization and sold confidential information. The reason he was eloping with you was partly because of you. The real reason was he was using you and your money to escape from me. He had no real power or influence and he knew he would not make it far without a backer. And you were that backer to him.

Si Yena’s face blanched, ’’Impossible! He was the only person who was completely selfless with me. He treated me with sincerity and love... He could have never used me. You are lying.’’

’’You know it better if I am. Living in denial and clinging onto an obsession, you refuse to look at the truth. He had been your bodyguard for long but his affection towards you and proposal of elopement probably started abruptly, right? That was it when he knew that I am aware of his doings. Seeing no way out, he used you and eyed the Si Family’s influence, not knowing that the Si Family didn’t really favor you...’’

’’Shut up! Shut up! Shoot him!"

’Bang’

A bullet was lodged into Ryle’s arm.

Ryle’s body staggered.

Si Yena shook her head.

’’You... claim that life did not give you anything but you refuse to accept that, all your life, you have only ever seen what went wrong. The good that you got, was all denied by you because you could not stop obsessing over the bad.’’

Ryle did not know why he was speaking. Perhaps being at death’s door, he could not help but feel rather wronged about it.

’’You had a friend when things had yet to go wrong,’’ He had no one when everything went wrong, ’’If you told her, Daisy would have dropped all her affairs and helped you first but you went ahead and ruined it all because you were inherently a jealous and bitter person! You seek revenge now but what about all those you have wronged?"

’’You have nothing to lose?" Ryle chuckled, ’’If I die today, I still have someone thinking of me. As for you...’’

Si Yena looked at him with bloodshot eyes, ’’Die then. I don’t need anyone thinking of me. I will live. But do you dare to die?"

As she spoke, she smiled and descended the stairs.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. freёwebnovel.com

Ryle stepped out of the glass enclosure, his steps were unsteady and wherever he went, he left a trail of blood.

Si Yena staggered.

Suddenly, blasts occurred in specific areas around the mansion. The hall was surrounded by fire, but some places were spotless.

Most of the suicide fighters were blanketed in the roiling flames. Screams erupted in the abandoned mansion.

’’How... Why..? Why didn’t the entire mansion...’’ explode... She glanced at Ryle, her eyes filling with hatred, ’’Your people never left... They were defusing the bombs...’’

Ryle looked at the woman calmly, his breathing unsteady.

Si Yena clenched her fists and turned to leave but two pillars dropped around her, her ankle was crushed under one.

Ryle turned in the opposite direction. But he had walked a little distance before he was surrounded by the sea of flames.

He had barely taken another step when he dropped to his knees. He had barely been dragging his legs with the remaining sensation left in them but with both his lower legs shot, the sensation in them seemed to fade slowly.

As a huge pillar began to fall towards him, he closed his eyes.

But after a long time, the expected pain never came.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes met a pair of dark eyes that looked at him with so much love that Ryle would not have regretted dying right there.

Daisy pushed away the pillar with all her strength.

’’Can you walk?"

’’I would have managed. Why... did you come back...’’

’’Shut up!" Daisy cut him off, ’’I saw how you were about to manage things.

As she spoke, her eyes watered.

This man did not stagger in the slightest all the while protecting her and Angel but when it came to himself, he lost all the strength in his body.

’’You both had it planned... You...’’ Si Yena finally managed to pull out her ankle from under the pillar.
