Chapter 77: The Real Face
Chapter 77: The Real Face
Suddenly Shi Tu spat out the last words Alice expecting to come out of Shi Tu's mouth.
"R-Really right? A - anything?"
Alice stumbled in horror of the shock and was unable to say any meaningful word.
' who is this? Is it really Shi Tu? Is he sick? Is there anything on him? Does he really want that? Does he finally realize my worth or is it another plot? Did that man pressure him? ... '
Alice's thinking swam away and her thoughts overlapped to a degree that is incomprehensible even to Shi Tu.
"Of course, my word has great weight and I will never turn on my world. In addition, if I do not reward you for everything you did, how people will follow me in the future? No one will follow someone who exploits him and does not reward him for his efforts."
Shi Tu quickly poured cold water on Alice whose thinking went away and she quickly returned to the bitter reality.
"Give Sun Jie that wish"
Alice didn't think much before answering, since Shi Tu wants to win the approval of his followers by rewarding her, it is better to reward in Sun Jie order to ensure her loyalty to him.
Sun Jie also didn't think much before asking something for Alice
"Take off your mask in front of Alice .... and me"
Shi Tu did not look surprised like he had expected.
"Are you sure? Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Once a decision is made it cannot be undone. My face without a mask may not like you at all."
Shi Tu tried to urge Sun Jie to hold back, and he seemed very serious.
"Do you feel embarrassed to show your true face?"
Sun Jie said in a provocative tone in order to urge Shi Tu to comply with her.
Shi Tu smiled cheerfully, but killing Intent was directed at Sun Jie before he lightly nodded his head.
"Well, from now on I will act in front of you as myself and will not try to pretend at all."
Shi Tu closed his eyes and remained still in place without moving a finger, his face completely turned to a lifeless doll face that the looker would think is a plastic doll.
After a few minutes, Shi Tu did not move a single muscle, did not open his eyes and did not say anything again.
"What is this? Are you ignoring us now?"
The first person to lose patience, of course, is Alice.
Alice felt very grateful to Sun Jie, who used her request for her because she knew very well that Sun Jie never cared about Shi Tu, which means that she asked it for her.
Alice always knew that Shi Tu is faking himself and it is impossible to distinguish the real from the fake, and she never knew if she had seen the real Shi Tu character before so she was so excited that she did not give Sun Jie a single look and focused all her gaze in these minutes on Shi Tu.
But time passed and she did not see any result.
"Never mind, I want to talk to you about a talented assistant that I found called Chen Peng Peng."
Sun Jie steps in to help Alice hide her awkward behavior and decides to talk about work.
"yeh, he is skilled in his work in a non-natural way and does not match his file."
Alice agreed with her in order to change the mood, and oddly enough, Alice was able to quickly respond to Sun Jie's thoughts.
But Shi Tu did not give any reaction.
"Hey, why don't you reply?"
After this, whatever Sun Jie and Alice spoke, Shi Tu did not give them one more look as if they did not exist at all, more precisely, as if Shi Tu was the only one in the world.
Suddenly, Shi Tu's phone rang in this strange atmosphere
" What? "
Shi Tu picked up the phone and said in an automatic voice just as he speaks to the Shadow Guards when they are alone, a voice that of an emotionless machine.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can start at any time, all devices have been tested and are working with high efficiency."
"An assistant will come to your place soon, tell him everything and with his help you will be able to start in three days."
" what about the Assassins League and the Shadows Garden?"
"Ignore them"
Shi Tu ended the call and continued to ignore Alice and Sun Jie.
At this moment, Sun Jie realized the true face of Shi Tu that he now shows them
This discovery made her deeply regretful for submitting this request.
"Alice, I'm sorry, it seems that I made a big mistake this time, you told me that Shi Tu does not like to do something with no benefit, right? I think he was acting against his nature when he was talking to us, So there is no mean in talking to us now. "
Sun Jie had no choice but to tell Alice the truth, after all she is not a hesitant woman and afraid to take responsibility, since she is in wrong, she will admit her mistake and take responsibility.
Contrary to Sun Jie's expectations, Alice seemed very calm and there was no trace of sadness on her eyes as if she understood without Sun Jie telling her.
"It's alright, I told you I knew very well that Shi Tu would give up on me when I lost my value so I prepared myself in advance."
Although Alice was saying this, Sun Jie saw drops of tears sparkling in her eyes as she made an effort not to let them falling with a cold face that did not suggest that she was affected.
Sun Jie had nothing to say in this situation and really regretted her request and not listening to Shi Tu.
At first she wanted to help Alice and thought it was better for Shi Tu to deal with her without real expressions, either Alice continues to chasing him and maybe their relationship improves, or Alice gives up.
She sincerely believed that this would bring them closer, but even in her wildest dreams she did not think that Shi Tu was so cruel and that he was keeping them to a whim, or perhaps he was lazy to kick them out, the worst is that he might have been mocking Alice in his heart while he saw her making effort to please him.
It continued like this all the way until they reached a luxury apartment complex.
Shi Tu got off the limousine without giving the two girls a single glance and entered the complex.
After Shi Tu left, Alice couldn't handle it any longer and started crying in Sun Jie's arms.
Upon seeing the scene of Alice's crying, Sun Jie felt an intense hatred towards Shi Tu who made Alice like this.
But she couldn't do anything but cursed Shi Tu and his brainwashing abilities, although Alice fully know that Shi Tu was exploiting her all the time and that he might dump her at any moment, but she remained clinging to the lackluster hope until the last moment.
Even after he did this, Alice couldn't hate him at all.
